Movie Monday: Sabrina (1954)
Recently, I re-watched the film Sabrina starring Audrey Hepburn and I became so inspired by both the fashion and the acting. That inspiration has led me here to this Movie Monday to review this classic film! Sabrina is full of symbolism and metaphors which is one of the reasons I love watching it! In one scene we see Audrey Hepburn’s character speak with her father through a window while he is standing in their shared home’s kitchen. This, in my opinion, is supposed to symbolize her feeling like an outsider in many ways including in comparison to the wealthy family who the man she loves is a member of. This…

Secret Sequins
I understand that black is not the most cheerful spring color, but I think this quarter length top is absolutely perfect for this time of year! With all of the grass becoming a little greener and the flowers blooming, black really contrasts against these light backgrounds. Of course, black is never really a cool that goes out of style, but it is defiantly not typical for the spring season. One exciting element of this top is the two strands of black sequins that are visible on both sleeves! Really this black top is so much more fashion forward because of those two strands that I like to call secret sequins…

Met Gala & Camp Style: What It Is & How You Can Wear It
If you don’t know yet, the annual Met Gala will be held this three days. This is the biggest night for fashion! There are always a ton of outrageous looks that celebrities pull together, and some really fantastic designers get their evening to shine and experiment with different ideas. Typically, a fashion enthusiast like myself would put together a neat little list of my favorite looks and the ones I didn’t like. But I am much more interested in the theme of Met Gala than anything that will be worn. So, today I am going to talk about what the Met Gala 2019 theme is and share a few of…

Movie Monday: A Woman’s Face (1941)
If you are looking for a good drama to watch, you have come to the right place! Today I am reviewing A Woman’s Face, a Joan Crawford classic. This movie has it all! Action, drama, sadness, love, and fashion! There is a lot to cover so let’s jump right in! At first A Woman’s Face seems like a horror/mobster kind of film. However, once you get into the thick of the plot you quickly begin to realize it is so much more! This multifaceted film wants you to root against Joan Crawford’s character. You already know from the moment she makes her debut on the screen that she has done…

The Princess Diana Black Sheep Sweater
A while back I saw this black sheep sweater from Lands End and I instantly fell in love with it! Not only is the grey color super versatile, but it also has such a fun retro design. I know this may not make sense so let me give you a little background. Being the royal watcher that I am, previously I have seen photos of the late Princess Diana wearing a very similar black sheep sweater (like in the photo of her above). Of course, I always admired the fun sheep design of the sweater she wore! Well, Princess Diana wore that sweater back in the 80’s so naturally I…

The Two Toned Denim Trend
Something I have been noticing a lot more of recently is that two toned denim in long jeans and shorts has become something of a micro-trend. Personally, I find this micro-trend very fun and unique! This really will add a little something extra that you can mix and match both spring and summer outfits with. I recently purchased a pair of denim shorts that features this two toned denim look and I thought it would be so much fun to try with different tops and blouses. Also, you wear a pair of the trendy white cowboy boots or just a classic brown pair they will look super cute with these…

Moto Jackets for Chic Streetwear
There are a couple of different jackets everyone should own. First, you need to have a simple denim jacket and from their you can expand that collection to denim jackets with details. Second, you need a leather jacket in any color, but black is the most timeless one of all. Last, but certainly not least, every needs at least one moto jacket. I found a clothe moto jacket last fall and snatched it up because I didn’t have one already in my closet. Let me tell you, since purchasing that jacket I have worn it so much in both the fall and spring! A classic black moto jacket goes with…

What I’m Wearing for Easter 2019
Happy Easter, everyone! This was always one of my favorite holidays growing up and even today I still love the atmosphere and purpose of getting together to celebrate with family. Unfortunately for me, the Midwestern spring weather gives me a lot of wind! Hence the wearing pants and not a dress. There will be plenty of time for dresses this summer when things warm up and the wind slows down. This blue sweater came along just in time for the Easter holiday! I found it on sale at Old Navy and it was featured in my post about the neon trend. Of course, this blue isn’t necessarily neon, but I…

Floral Stan Smith Sneakers
If you follow me on Instagram, you saw me unbox these cool sneakers and promise that I would write a blog post about them. (If you don’t follow me in Instagram, be sure to check out my profile at @sarahgsigmon) Since I am a woman of my word, here is the post that I promised! For a while now I have been looking for a cute new pair of sneakers. Now, as you probably already know, I have very specific taste so this presents a little bit of a challenge. I searched high and low at all of my favorite places to go shoe shopping with no success. Thankfully, I…
