Celine Spring 2020
There have been many runways this Fashion Month that have served up some retro inspiration, however, I would say that this Celine spring 2020 collection is the most retro driven. Along with the blast from the past, Celine also seems to take a distinctly street style path with this entire collection and refrains from going towards any couture looks. All of this adds up to a very interesting runway, and one that definitely deserves a little dissecting. Overall, I would say that Celine is overwhelmingly pushing the 70s vibes with this collection. I don’t saying pushing to be mean, but I do say it because I do not see hints…

A Vintage Puff Sleeve
The runways have been full of interesting shoulder designs, and it has inspired me to transform this spring 2020 trend into a fall 2019 look! Last week in the Look Book I talked about the 80s inspiration that is showing up in shows like the Versace’s spring collection. However, today I am talking about a more vintage look that involves echos of the 40s. I love all things classic, especially classic films. So it probably comes as no surprise to you all when I say that the 40s inspiration for the shoulder designs we have been seeing more of is one of my fashion trends of the future. The main…

80s Inspiration & Structured Sleeves
There’s a lot to love about the 80s, but the first thing to pop into your mind is probably not the clothing. When people think of this decade they usually categorize the clothing as neon, sweatbands, and a ton of shoulder pads. However, there are a lot of style cues that are being picked up bu the fashion industry in our modern era from the structure of 80s clothing. The first of many things have been the neon trend that has taken over fashion for quite some time now. If you have been reading Faintly Familiar over the past year of its existence, then you know I was way ahead…

Vionic Autumn Ankle Boots
I have some exciting news for you all! My obsession with autumn ankle boots has finally found the perfect match!

Not only are they super comfortable, but they are chic! Vionic shoes are a brand I have grown up with because they are supportive of the back and legs.…

Leap Into Leopard Print
This is typically the time of year that I struggle to find the appropriate clothing to wear. Either the weather is acting weird, the summer wardrobe I have doesn’t fit the flavor of that day, or I am just too excited for fall that I end up not wanting to wear anything I have been wearing for the past three months. All of this may sound a little odd, but I am hoping I am not alone in this sentiment. For the folks who feel like me, there is hope! Today I am here to introduce you to the trend and subtle wardrobe delight that is leopard print. Animal prints…

The Must Have Bag of Fall 2019
Bags are the kind of accessory that you can easily switch up depending on the outfit you are wearing and complete the overall look. They are also an accessory that can change the appearance of an outfit you are rewearing (because, let’s be honest, we all rewear outfits and there is nothing wrong with that) and just by choosing a different bag you can reinvent the entire feeling of that ensemble. Despite the chameleon-like effect bags have on an outfit, there are always those few silhouettes or sizes that you may prefer. These are the classic, go-to fashion items that create what you will be known for in your daily…

A Look at Olive Overalls Dresses
Overalls dresses are going to be all the rage this fall 2019 as I already expressed in my blog post titled “How to Style a Denim Overalls Dress for Summer“. Today I want to expand on how you can wear this trendy item and change up the color scheme a little bit.

The black mock turtleneck neck t-shirt I pair with the olive green shade made a perfect combo, and really creates a fun street style vibe. Since this is more of a fall 2019 trend, I feel like…
