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…

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…

My Go-To Ball Cap this Summer
A the sun begins to peak around the clouds of winter, there are a few options for protecting your eyes. The most common prescription to sunny days are sunglasses, however, every now and then you will see someone wearing a ball cap. I typically do not wear ball caps or hats outside of wintertime beanies, but for those bad hair days there is really no better alternative. With the changing weather and windy days, I have found myself reaching for a ball cap more and more. Enter in my new favorite ball cap. This Illinois (my home state) hat I surprisingly found at Walmart. I wasn’t really looking for a…

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2019
Louis Vuitton is creating a whole new kind of street style chic! Chock full of puffy sleeves and western style ankle boots, there is nothing that is off limits with this new kind of casual style! These photos are not mine. In the wide world of high fashion, Louis Vuitton is a leading figure. Decked out in newly styled and fresh street chic designs, this runway was both reflective and futuristic. The main difference between this runway and the Balenciaga runway is that the tones of 80s throwback were nowhere to be found. This is strictly a fashion forward runway. Louis Vuitton gave us a mix of city chic, wild…

Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2019 for Men
The men’s fashion at this year’s Ralph Lauren show was something rich and aspirational! The materials used, much like in the women’s collection, were mixed and beautifully designed! It was all about suits for the 50th anniversary of the Ralph Lauren brand, but each suit had a little uniqueness thrown in to add the Lauren touch! Photos by Vogue One of the most consistent parts of this collection is the fact that the designs, for men in particular, are not too loose fitting. Instead, they are tailored to precisely fit each model. This gives the fashion forward suits a more professional look while also being exceptionally designed with crushed velvet…

Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2019 for Women
Tom Ford’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection at New York Fashion Week was all about the details! He somehow connected a timeless color pallet with retro and modern elements in this collection while also giving us a glimpse into a more futuristic design! Let’s take a closer look shall we? Photos by Vogue Immediately the first thing you may notice with this runway show is the styling. The consistency with each model wearing a headscarf gives you the feeling of a modern society while also being very reminiscent of the 1920’s or even 60’s. Matter of fact, this whole collection is very much a picture of a modern take on 20’s fashion!…

#SelfieswithAlma
Okay, with a headline that starts with a hashtag you may be wondering what this post will be about. Let me explain, before my freshman year of college at the University of Illinois, I thought it would be kind of fun to take a selfie with the iconic Alam Mater (if you don’t know what that is, here is a little background about the statue) every school day until the day I graduate. This idea started out with me only taking a photo for my own personal collection of college memories. Then one day it dawned on me, why not continue this streak on social media just to publicly document…

Why Fruit Prints are Not Just for Women
This summer we have seen prints of all kinds. Gingham, geometric, aztec, and so many more, but fruit is the one to me that seems so different and fun! I have seen so many ladies wear some of the prettiest lemon printed dresses and blouses, it occurred to me that this lasting trend works great on men, too! Throwing on a crisp button up with a cool print like the one above can be such a fun way to not only stay on trend, but to also stand out. This would be the perfect outfit for a cookout, night with family and friends, or a trip to the movies! As the…

The Knotted Romper
What better way to welcome the new month than with a cute romper? This is one of my favorite rompers in my closet! I bought it at the tail end of last summer, maybe that is why I am so fond of it for this time of year. The print vertical styled print is one of my favorite aspects of this romper, I’m also a sucker for anything with stripes! The sleeveless look keeps you cool in the heat while the print keeps the romper interesting. My favorite feature is hands down the knot in the front, though! Not many rompers have a knot to tie so this versatile feature…

Tommy Hilfiger Striped Top
Similar to my look: Top Pants Shoes If this top is giving you nautical vibes, you are not alone. I pair it with white capris and basic white Sperry shoes. This whole outfit made me really want to go boating for the weekend! This top is from Tommy Hilfiger and is one of my new favorites! He designs clothes to flatter women in everyday. Tommy’s designs are consistently the perfect balance between classy and on trend! Like I said earlier, my mind immediately went to the white capris when deciding how to style this top. It just felt like the perfect way to complement the…
