Movie Monday: Bachelor Mother (1939)
Bachelor Mother was Ginger Rogers’ film debut after starring in nine movies with Fred Astaire. Both needed space from one another, and this was Rogers’ answer to the previous roles she had became known for. Of course nerves surrounded the burgeoning actress, however, this film proved that she could certainly hold her own without relying on Astaire as a counterpart. These photos are not mine. In addition to the clear success of Bachelor Mother, not many people know that this was not the first version of this film. Back in 1935, a German version was produced called Little Mother. Yet another version of the film was made in 1956, called Bundle…

The London Trip: Day 1
After a week of recovery and trying to get back into the mode of college classes, I have finally found the time to sit down and tell you all about the awesome trip my brother Jacob and I took on fall break. Keep in mind that our fall break was only a week long, so our trip was relatively short. But man did we do a lot of cool thing while we were there! If you haven’t heard yet, or seen on my social media, my older brother Jacob and I took a small trip to London on our fall break! In total, it took us 6 days (we originally…

Movie Monday: It Should Happen to You (1954)
It Should Happen to You is yet another classic film that loves to play around with the idea of advertising/advertisements. In this film, Judy Holliday plays a character that comes up with the very original idea to advertise her own name on a billboard in the hopes of becoming famous. Well, the billboard project works! But I will leave what happens in the rest of the film out in case you haven’t ever seen it before. It is a great film though, and I highly recommend watching it! These photos are not mine. This Jack Lemmon’s first role in a Hollywood film! Unlike his role in Some Like It Hot,…

A Thanksgiving Travel Look
The holiday travel season is officially upon us! With Thanksgiving just right around the corner (that is if you live in the United States), it is time we start thinking about traveling and packing all of the fashionable essentials! What are my go-to travel looks? Well, in the fall and winter months I love to layer! A good vest or jacket can go a long way in my book! With this look above, I am wearing two of my favorite colors: blue and gold. Pairing these colors together add so much fun and spice to an otherwise earthy toned season. The contrast between the bright yellow and navy blue is…

The Wonderful Style of Diana Prince
If you know me you also know just how big of a fan I am of Wonder Woman. I was hooked from the moment I watched the first episode of the 1970’s Wonder Woman show. Now that the iconic superhero has her own film, my love for this character has grown even more! Throughout the many years of Wonder Woman’s existence, we have seen her costume change with the time era she was in. It is commonly debated as to which Wonder Woman suit may be better than another, but what you hear little about is how Wonder Woman’s alter ego Diana Prince has changed her style over the years,…

How Veronica Lake Changed Her Hair and Career
If you ever feel like your hair is a large part of what makes you feel like yourself, you may not be the only one. Hair is such a influential part of how we are viewed and there is one fantastic example of this. Veronica Lake was a Old Hollywood actress who became famous for her “Peek-a-Boo” hairstyle. Unfortunately, being known for this hairstyle would ultimately be the demise of her acting career. These photos are not mine. The story goes that Veronica Lake was like any other Hollywood actress when, one day while filming, Lake’s hair randomly fell over one of her eyes. It instantly became her signature look!…

A Few of My Favorite Things: Fall 2018
Now that it is officially fall, it’s time to introduce you to a few of my favorite things for this season. These are actual products that I use or have been using. The reason I started this series was because, if you are anything like me, you always want to know what the highest quality products and the advice of what is best. So here we go! The Herschel backpack brand is the brand I have used since Freshman year of college, and for Sophomore year I am not wavering! I love Herschel because they are sturdy and hold up to my, admittedly, reckless behavior. This backpack has never…

Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2019 for Women
The old soul in me simply loved the Ralph Lauren 5oth anniversary runway show this New York Fashion Week! There were so many different elements jam-packed into one show, yet his collection remained so cohesive! What was most prevalent trend you noticed in this show you ask? The accessories! Photos by Vogue We saw a touch of New York and a touch of London mixed into a super modern and super classic collection with men’s and women’s fashion for Ralph Lauren. The rustic and modern vibes ran through the structure of each piece and the overall color scheme. The muted browns, blacks, and burgundy are all colors you would normally…

Neon Stripes
If I had to pick a top five or ten favorite colors, neon green would be somewhere in that group! Unlike its neighboring colors, like construction worker yellow, neon green as a color steers clear of tacky and navigates more towards fun. The navy blue stripe really balance out the bright green in this top. In addition, the three little blue buttons you may notice on my shoulder are such a fun little detail to mark this as a classic addition to the wardrobe! I decided a matching pair of navy shorts from Old Navy with this ensemble. One more thing I love about this top is the quarter length…

“Women” Old Navy T-Shirt
Similar to my look: T-shirt Jacket Sunglasses Pants I am all about female empowerment!! That is why when I saw this tee at Old Navy, there was no doubt in my mind I was going to purchase it! The light shade of pink/purple perfectly contrasts the black jacket and pants I am wearing. This is a tee you could wearing easily when the weather transitions in to autumn. A pair of black skinny jeans and a cool biker jacket would be one way your could pair this top! Another way you could go would be with navy skinny jeans and a nice denim jacket! However you style it,…
