The Trendy Glasses Shape of 2019 & 2020
The photos in this blog post are going to be a bit strange to my Faintly Familiar Family because they will be seeing me in an unusually form. Today I am wearing glasses. Yes, the frames are my prescription based frames and a style choice occasionally. I’m a bit of a free spirit so generally I like the freedom of wearing contacts, however, I do feel like a cute pair of glasses frames can really go a long way in making your outfit look cute. Even if they are not prescription based glasses, just a fashionable pair of frames can really be the perfect accessory! With the wide variety of…

Prada Spring 2020
Prada has a very interesting take on what spring 2020 fashion will look like. While skipping all of the pastels and florals, Prada decided to do things in a retro style. This spring collection reminds me very much of the 1930s and what you would have seen back in that era (which happens to be one of my favorite times for fashion). However, each design had a distinct modern edge to it. These dresses were all very much like the straight down, a-line style we have been seeing a bit more of. This is just another example of the 1930s vibes I get from this entire runway. One Old Hollywood…

A 60s Inspired Dress with a Modern Twist
There are so many different decades and time eras that inspire me when it comes to fashion, and one of those decades is the 60s! Although there are a variety of sources I take inspiration from, the 60s is one I never get tired of. However, this dress in particular is one that has some unique twists that make it distinctly a modern piece. A few of the designs that makes this dress a modern, 60s classic are the halter top, the silhouette of the dress, and the bold yet tasteful floral print. The print featured on this dress is not your grandmother’s couch design (although we do all love…

Lace Trim for the Win!
There is one piece of fabric that seems to be pretty timeless when it comes to fashion and that fabric is lace. It can be used for a more traditional look or it can be used to create something completely new.

For all of my fellow lace lovers out there, I am here today to tell you that lace trim is going to a huge trend for fall 2019! Are you as excited as I am?! There are a lot of contemporary ways that lace is being used to create fun…

Embracing Mint Green for Fall
Mint green can be a really tricky color to pull off, but when done correctly it can be a real knockout win in the fashion department! This color also acts as the perfect transitional color from summer wardrobe to fall wardrobe. The way I have been tackling the sometimes hard to wear shade of mint green is by wearing my best auburn button up skirt. This skirt falls right in line with the exposed buttons trend and also adds a little flavor of fall. While it is still pretty hot outside where I live, this tank top and skirt combo is perfect for staying cool out and looking fashionable! Although…

Alex and Ani Wonder Woman Jewelry
The Alex and Ani jewelry brand has always been a favorite of mine because they raise money for so many wonderful charities. Besides that, their jewelry is well made and always so cute! So you can imagine my excitement when I walk into the Alex and Ani store in Chicago and saw an entire collection dedicated to my favorite superhero: Wonder Woman. There are so many reasons to appreciate the Wonder Woman character like her kindness and strength, but also the symbolism behind what it means for girls to look up to someone like Wonder Woman as well. This is also a superhero that a connects people to one another…

The Floral & Lace T-Shirt
Is there anything cuter or more effortless for summer fashion than throwing on a t-shirt? One of my favorite go-to summer styles is a t-shirt and shorts. Well, every once in a while you gotta have a statement t-shirt to spruce things up, and that is exactly what I have today! Floral is an absolute summer and spring staple for any wardrobe, while lace is a lot of the time left for special occasions. With this t-shirt I am combining both of these styles to create something typical, yet timeless and elegant. The lace trim is one of my favorites aspects of this t-shirt because it is just to unique…

City Chic Audrey Hepburn Style
I know it may seem crazy depending on where you live and what the weather is like there, but lately here in the Midwest it has been a bit on the chilly side! Especially in the Windy City (A.K.A. Chicago) where I have recently spent a bit of time helping my brother move to. Although we have been busy lifting heavy boxes, it is never a bad idea to dress up for a day on the town! Recently, I shared how I like to style a trench coat in the springtime but today I am sharing another way to style a classic camel trench coat. Matter of fact, this entire…

Green with Envy
One of the freshest shades of the summertime season has appeared to be green. This color surrounds us in nature in the summertime, but that won’t stop me from letting it take over a small corner of my summer wardrobe. Green has been popping up everywhere in summer fashion lately. It feels like so many different styles are incorporating differing shades of green to liven things up and I am loving it! After finding this green striped top at Kohl’s, I know it would be the perfect addition to my summer closet and it would play well with a lot of different accessories. Instead of going with a pair of…
