My Favorite Sherpa Pullover
Sherpa has become one of the trendiest materials of this winter! Sherpa can be found in numerous formats, but personal favorite is the pullover. I have a couple of different sherpa pullovers (because they are so warm and cozy), but the pullover I am going to talk about in this blog post is my personal favorite. Why is this one so special? Well, it is such a pretty mix of colors let’s just start out with that. Not to mention it has pockets (which is an all too rare quality in women’s clothing), this pullover is such a wintertime classic! If you don’t already own something that is sherpa related,…

Snow Day Style
If you have been watching the news as of late you will have heard about how the Midwest (where I happen to live and go to college) just received one of the largest snowstorms in years. Of course, with my luck it happened the weekend before the new semester begins and I must trudge across campus in it. So this got me thinking of all the different ways I could keep warm and still stay cute in the follow week. Today on Faintly Familiar I wanted to share a few of my ideas with you all! A Classic Winter Look Although I don’t advise going into the cold without a…

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…

What I’m Wearing for New Years Eve 2018
Sequins, sequins, and more sequins! It seems that New Years Eve is always about who can wear the most glitter. Well, this year I have decided to take a little bit of a more subtle approach to New Years Eve fashion. I am focusing my whole outfit around this chic and fun tweed jacket! If you look closely enough you can see there are indeed tiny sequins sewn into the fabric of this jacket. It adds that hopeful New Years feeling to every ensemble! In the photos above I paired this tweed jacket a couple of ways. The first one was with a cute black and white printed turtle neck,…

The Steve Madden Puffer Jacket
As a college student (who is thankfully on winter break until the new year – woohoo!) who walks a lot on a large campus, it is so important to find a warm jacket. It was essential for me to also find one that has a hood on it in case it gets extra freezing outside. One of my favorite places to shop is Kohl’s, and that is where I found this pretty warm jacket! Steve Madden has scored again with this piece! It is not only a beautiful shade of purple, but it is also the warmest jacket I have ever owned. I love that fact that it has a…

The Electric Blue Cowl Neck Sweater
The winter season is creeping upon us as we all prepare for the holidays. Along with the changing season is much colder weather, but I am not afraid of being cold this year! This cowl neck sweater will be keeping me warm without having to wear a scarf. Normally I don’t love having tight or bulky things up around my neck, but with this cowl neck styled sweater I don’t have to worry about tying a tight scarf around my neck! At the same time, I also don’t have to worry about feeling constrained by the material. A cowl sweater is such a wintertime essential, in my opinion, and can…

Princess Diana’s Dresses at Kensington Palace
One of the most exciting attractions for me while we were in London was seeing the Princess Diana dress exhibit at Kensington Palace! It made not only my day, week, month, and year but my WHOLE LIFE!!! I’m not really joking when I say this, I am a huge fan of Princess Diana because of her kindness. Seeing her dresses in person made the whole idea of her a lot more real than ever before. At the exhibit they also had quite a few sketches of the dress designs hanging on the walls, so all of those photos are in another blog post. For today, however, we will be focusing…

The Tommy Hilfiger Top I will be Wearing this Holiday Season
It is no surprise that Tommy Hilfiger knows how to utilize the colors navy and cherry red to the finest quality. With these colors being in his logo, he is somehow able to not only innovate in fashion using this kind of pallet but also brand his designs to be classic and iconic all at the same time! So at this time of year when the colors of the season call for a cheerful red, I am happy to pull out some of my favorite Tommy Hilfiger designs. This shirt I an absolute classic, in my opinion! Not just because of the gorgeous red color, but also because of the…

The Arm Details in Sweaters Trend
There are so many reasons I love this sweater, but one of the biggest ones is that it fits in so perfectly with the trend I am seeing this fall/winter. So many shirts and sweaters this season have included a cute little detail along the sleeve! Whether it be lace, leather, or a simple little tie design like the one on my sweater, there are so many ways to add a little flair. I found this sweater at Kohl’s and fell in love with it immediately! It was such a good price, too! I believe I only paid maybe $10 for this sweater because it was on sale the day…
