Movie Monday: Casablanca (1942)
These photos are not mine. Casablanca is arguably one of the most iconic and influential films to ever hit the silver screen! The music, the movie lines, the clothes, and the love story are all components that helped catapult this movie into instant success! At the time of Casablanca‘s release, the world was in complete turmoil. It was in the midst of World War II and many people went to the theatre to escape reality even if it was just for a little while. Rick and Ilsa’s love story endeared audiences all over the world, and impacted society in a way those who made the film would have never thought.…

“Kind is the New Cool” Tee
Similar to my look: T-shirt Shorts Birkenstocks Haven’t you heard? Kind is the new cool! Actually, being kind is always cool, but this t-shirt was too cute not to purchase! This inspirational, classic white tee came from a little boutique on my college campus, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champiagn. The shop is called Fira Boutique, and I fell in love with their clothes the minute I saw the store front! It is a quant little place located a little outside of the heart of campus, but all in all it is one of my favorite shops. If you go to UIUC,…

Red, White, & Fabulous!
Similar to my look: Top Shorts This year has absolutely flown by! I can’t believe it was the fourth of July! (Yes, I did mean to rhyme) I decided to sport a tank this year with a pink/red tint to it and a unstructured peplum bottom. Coupled with cutoff, denim shorts and I was ready to roll! It was a rather hot fourth of July this year here in the Midwest, so the sleeveless look kept me as cool as a cucumber. This look works for way more than just the fourth of July, though. It would be a stunning ensemble to a picnic, family outing,…

The Summer Floral Trend
Photos taken by Darla Sigmon (@mcsig96 on Instagram) I have never been much of a print girl, but this summer it would seem I am wearing lot more of at least one print. Normally, I like a solid color top with some denim shorts or something else simple and classic, but the floral trend bug has bitten me. Florals are HUGE this summer! You really cannot go shopping without seeing at least one flower on some sort of piece of clothing! The floral trend is so different than most other prints. Every summer it seems like there is at least one kind of print that takes over, but with florals…

Movie Monday: The Women (1939)
These photos are not mine. If you love fashion as much as I do, and that is a whole lot, this is a must see film!! Although The Women fails the “Bechdel Test” because all of the women in this film pretty much always end up talking about the allusive “Steve” who never appears on screen, this is still a triumphant film for women! The cast was ALL FEMALE! Right down to the animals that appear in the movie. Some of the most glamorous women of the 1930s starred together in The Women and went on to create a cinematic masterpiece!! These photos are not mine. One of my favorite actresses, Norma Shearer, wore…

The Maxi Romper
Photos taken by Darla Sigmon (@mcsig96 on Instagram) Similar to my look: Romper Wedges This little, not-so-little number has it all! Nothing says summer like a romper, especially when it has the added drama of what I like to think of as a cape! (Honesty, it could be called something else, but I am not sure and I am not going to guess. It makes me feel like Wonder Woman so I am going with the whole cape idea.) This style of romper has been all the rage since last fall, and although we had a cold winter here in the Midwest, I have been…

Overalls
Photos taken by Darla Sigmon (@mcsig96 on Instagram) Similar to my look: Overalls Floral T-Shirt Shoes Summer is here and the weather has never been finer! I decided it would be the perfect time to take the old Schwinn Bicycle out for a ride. So what do you wear on a beautiful June day when bicycling? It was time for me to breakout the summer’s biggest style trend: overalls. It seems like a classic piece like overalls never truly goes out of style. Celebrities allover Hollywood have been spotted wearing overalls, all the way from Taylor Swift to Chris Pine (yes, men can rock them too!). Even…
