The Mittens Trend 2020
If you haven’t noticed, it is cold and snowy in most places (depending on where you live). This can only mean one thing, it is wintertime! Since I live in the Midwest, I like to think I have a special skill in noticing cute and super functional winter apparel. Therefore, I submit to you the trendiest winter accessory: mittens. This is a trendy item I have picked up on over the winter of 2019-2020, however, I fully expect to see it continue for the next several years. Why? Because mittens are so simple and timeless that the trend it can last up to ten years with a few variations along…

A Must Have Item for Winter 2019-2020
Out with the old and in with the new is the song of the winter season it seems. Turtlenecks never really go out of style when it comes to a winter wardrobe, however, they do take on many different variations depending the current trends. This winter 2019-2020 season is seeing a resurgence in the mock turtleneck! I’m not the biggest fan of the traditionally tall turtleneck, but I love a good mock turtleneck. Matter of a fact, mock turtlenecks have been a small part of my layering wardrobe ever since I could remember! If you are looking to invest in some cute layering options, mock turtlenecks are the perfect go-to…

Versace Spring 2020
If there is one takeaway from this entire Fashion Month, it is that retro is going to be the flavor of spring 2020! In last week’s Look Book post “80s Inspiration & Structured Sleeves“, I keyed in on this fashion concept. Although a lot of these looks will be a hot and heavy trend for spring 2020, I have seen hints of it even now in the fall. The most important fashion trend for spring 2020 will be structured shoulders. This is influenced by a mixture of time eras like the Victorian era, the 40s, and the 80s. Of course, we all remember that shoulder pads were an fashion item…

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…

Burberry Spring 2020
There are a lot of different aspects of this runway I will be covering today with this Runway Review. I am picking up a lot of notes on spring trends that have been consistent across several collections and I will compile them all into one blog post for you all later after Fashion Month. However, today’s Burberry spring 2020 collection has a lot to give us to talk about, so lets get started! First of all, I just want to say that Burberry did a splendid job differentiating themselves from the last spring collection we saw from them. Typically, this brand leans into the classic trench coat and scarf look…

Elegant Scallops
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the best time in the entire year — fall! This is my absolute favorite season for many reasons, but one of this reasons is certainly the fashion.

Flamin-go Big or Go Home
There are a whole lot of flamingos this summer! Everywhere you look it seems that a flamingo theme will be there whether it’s home decor, fashion, or fun trinkets. Today I am going to take a deeper look into this phenomenon and dissect why this is happening in 2019 instead of any other year. I would say that a major reason the flamingo has gotten such a popularity boost is because of this year’s Met Gala theme. Camp was the confusing and exciting theme for the 2019 Met Gala, and we saw celebrities go all out for this over the top aesthetic. Flamingos are flamboyant creatures, ones that really stand…
