Movie Monday: His Girl Friday (1940)
Is there anything more fitting for April Fool’s Day than a good comedy? I don’t think so! That is why for this Movie Monday I am reviewing the hilarious comedy His Girl Friday! This fasting talking and witty film can be pretty hard to keep up with sometimes. If you are not paying close attention then you might miss some of the jokes being thrown everywhere in His Girl Friday. But when you do pay attention, man is this film hilarious! The characterization of having these newspaper journalists speak in such a fast manner feels so fitting. Realistically, I don’t think anyone could constantly roll out the sentences that these…

The Color of 2019
Last November, Pantone announced there annual color of the year and 2019’s color is called “Living Coral”! This shade of coral had, from what I can tell, undertones of peach and red. Although this color may not be my favorite (let’s be honest, I would prefer a pink of some kind :)), I can definitely see where “Living Coral” can be used in fashion. Recently, I found this sweater at Old Navy and it reminded me of the “Living Coral” color! Besides adding that pop of color that winter wardrobes often times need, this bright shade can also provide a lot of versatility to how you layer sweaters. This Old…

What I’m Wearing for St. Patrick’s Day 2019
Whether you are superstitious like me or not, the truth is no one wants to be pinched simply for not wearing green on any particular day. But that doesn’t mean you have to completely deck yourself out in shamrocks either! This year, I am taking a bit of a different approach to St. Patrick’s Day. Instead of wearing the normal bright green shamrock t-shirt or a “Kiss me I’m Irish” sweater, try going for a more versatile (and dare I say timeless) look. For instance, the top I am wearing above is not only an easy solution for St. Patrick’s Day, but it is also something that can be worn…

Embroidered Floral Details for Spring 2019
One of the consistencies I have seen on all of the runways for fall 2019 has been a mix of several different prints. Some of those prints are of the floral variety while also including the occasional embroidery detail. Therefore, I began thinking now would be the perfect time to breakout this pastel embroidered sweater! Since the official beginning of spring is right around the corner and coats will no longer be necessary, there is no better time to show off these cute little flowers! Embroidery has swept across the fashion industry for the past couple of seasons, and floral has made a real comeback too. Spring is the perfect…

Christian Dior Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear Collection
With today’s Runway Review we see a return to 90’s street style! The consistent bucket hats are very reminiscent of 90’s fashion, however, I would say these are much more tame in terms of prints being used. I like how Dior used some of their most classic silhouettes for dresses and gowns for this runway. Typically we see fashion houses lazy attempts to be retro when it comes off a little cheap. However, these Dior throwbacks are simply stunning with all of their old time charm, but with just the right amount of modernity. The different prints used for this runway are particularly what remind me of the 90’s besides…

Etro Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear Collection
A new take on a classic preppy style is the feeling I get from the brand new Etro fall 2019 collection. This runway particularly stood out to me because of how different it was in tone. There is something distinctly academic looking to this collection. I simply love the use of velvet and different textures used in this runway. From bags and belts to the tights that the models wore, the accessories paired with all of these looks gave so much more dimension to the entire collection. There is also a very loose feeling to these fall looks. The colors scream changing leaves, but the fit of these designs are…

Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear Collection
With over one hundred ensembles shown in this Dolce & Gabbana runway, this collection was both vast and, at times, a bit eccentric. There was no clear influence upon this collection, from what I can tell. The only significant thread connecting each of these pieces is a sense of showmanship. Volume, volume, and more volume is the take away from Dolce & Gabbana. Don’t be surprised if in fall 2019 red carpets are dominated by voluminous dress. This rise of bold silhouettes reminds me of the bygone 1800’s era. All of these large details tend to say “notice me”. This is a striking departure from what we have seen on…

A Black Marble Sweater
The sweater I am going to be talking about today has quickly become one of my favorite sweaters of all-time! It is the perfect mix of warm and cool, and it has a super cute pattern near the neckline. Above all, the marble style of is really what makes this sweater a home run for me! I have never seen a marble style sweater before this one! The tiny white flecks look so sophisticated to me and it works for all kinds of different accessories. If you read my post about scarves, you have already seen this sweater and all of the super cute ways to style it. Honestly, I…

Erdem Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Erdem continues to amaze me! This fall 2019 collection was a complete package of classic, unique, fashion forward, and bold. The prints used throughout this runway show were tastefully arranged which is amazing considering how quickly a loud floral print like this one could quickly become curtain material. The bright blues are STUNNING! I love neon colors and they only get better when paired with classic basics like black tights. I also love how Erdem used fascinators, pillbox hats, and headbands to accessorize and modernize elements of classic fashion. I can’t ignore how amazing the textures are in the materials used in this collection either. The materials and prints used…

Alberta Ferretti Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Wow. All I can say is wow. This collection is a jaw dropping! If I had to wear one runway collection for the rest of my life, it would be this one. All of the boxes are checked in my book with these designs. The colors, the hint of western inspiration, and the overall sophistication. I like to think that this collection came out of the inspiration of a trailblazing woman who takes on the city like a rebel from the old west only a lot prettier. The fabric is what really makes this collection so cohesive. None of it is too over the top, even the shinny suit in…
