How Polka Dots & Yellow are the Micro-Trends of Spring 2019
Something that I have been noticing a lot of recently is the random emergence of polka dots. They can be found in so many different places and they have become something of a kind of micro-trend. A lot of fashionable ladies have embraced the polka dots for spring 2019 trend, and I have now too! Polka dots have always been one of my favorite prints and let’s be honest, they never truly go out of style. But there are times when we see more of this pattern than other moments in fashion. Right now it is really ganging steam and it could be a trend that very well lasts into…

A Simple Outfit for Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day
Whether your celebrating Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day this year we can all agree a simple go-to outfit always comes in handy. Although it is fun to get dressed up for a night out on the town, wearing a cozy sweater never gets old. This is the time of year we see red become the shade of the season, I like to part from tradition a little. Pink has always been one of my favorite colors so I will use any excuse to wear it. That is why I have chosen to sport this pink turtleneck I found at Gordman’s. It is so soft, and I love that it has…

How to Add a Little Spring Into Your Winter Wardrobe
I think we can all agree that January can feel a little dreary every once in a while. Between cabin fever and all of the cold weather (depending on your location – if you live near the beach I envy you), it can feel like this whole winter thing may never end. Well, I am here to say there is a better way to create a little reprieve! If you have been reading Faintly Familiar for a while now, you already know that neon has been the “it” color trend since the fall of 2018. I wrote about this trend back in the fall, you can read that post here.…

Brioni Fall 2019
It would seem a new kind of men’s fashion is going to make a big run in 2019. This new style includes the fall color pallet I suggested for men back last fall! It also appears that a lot of the styles we will be seeing men wear in 2019 is inspired by Jeff Goldblum’s somewhat eccentric fashion. It’s evident in the thick rimmed glasses and slightly oversized suits that are making an appearance within the Brioni fall 2019 collection. Altogether, this is definitely a Faintly Familiar and Sarah Sigmon approved style! I love when designers take simple styles or colors and put them together with a fun texture. The…

Faux Fur Coats for the Luxury Look
This winter fashion has seen an influx of more luxurious looks. Between animal prints and faux fur, so much of street style these days has influences of old Hollywood. Back in the Silver Screen days, ladies would clamor just to say that they had a mink coat. Having a mink coat was a sign of your social and economic status in the United States. However, we know so much more about what goes into creating coats or other garments with real fur. Thankfully fashion has begun to embrace faux fur and they are no longer promoting using real fur on the runways. Enter in the faux fur coat trend. This…

The Faux Cardigan
Burgundy is one of my favorites colors to wear this time of year! The ways to wear it and what you can mix it with is endless. And it always look so cute with a pair of brown ankle boots! Today I’m wearing a shirt from Shein that looks layered but it isn’t at all. It is a faux layered look, and it is one of my favorites tricks of the trade when the days get colder! Although I do love to layer with coats and vests, but I’m not much of a cardigan girl. This top is perfect for me because it looks like a button up with a…

The Peacoat Trend
Long before it became the trend of the season, I was wearing this fabulous peacoat! Last year, I went on the long and treacherous search for the perfect fall and winter coat for those days when it wasn’t super cold, but definitely cold enough to warrant wearing a coat. So I went shopping for a peacoat! Fast forward to this year, and I am seeing a lot more ladies follow suit in the peacoat path. This is exciting to me because I believe the peacoat always looks so classic and can dress up almost any outfit! I know that this style of coat is never truly “out of style”, but…

Balloon Sleeves for Fall 2018
We’ve talked about how the princess sleeves trend is huge for fall and it will not be slowing down anytime soon. Matter of fact, the runways we saw during Fashion Month in September proved that we will be seeing princess sleeves even in the spring of 2019. But today I am going to tell you about another sleeve style that has the same kind of popularity and longevity as the princess sleeve — the balloon sleeve. In some ways, I kind of like the balloon sleeve even better than the princess sleeve. This look is cool for fall when it isn’t cold enough for a jacket yet. They trendy sleeves act…

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…
