Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2019
Tory Burch gave us something to think about with this collection. The question raised with these designs are, “How do you make something almost completely different, yet with your invisible fingerprint on it all at the same time?” Well, whatever the answer is to this question Tory Burch figured it out seamlessly! Photos by Vogue We are used to seeing Tory Burch pieces that are very colorful and with lots of prints. But while all of the other designers are currently experimenting with mixing prints, Tory Burch its experimenting with basics! She took what she was known for, and toned it down. All the while, these designs are still unmistakably…

Kate Spade Spring/Summer 2019
Despite all of the fun and fashion, New York Fashion Week was also a emotional milestone. This was the first fashion show after the loss of company founder Kate Spade. There were many impactful tributes dedicated to her, from the all pink runway to the programs with the iconic quote “She left a little sparkle wherever she went”. This collection will be a memorable one for the brand for many reasons, only one being how amazing all of these pieces are. Photos by Vogue This whole runway show seemed to be 60’s inspired and I loved every bit of it! From the fun prints to the all pink outfits, this…

A Classic Neutral Look
Now that Labor Day is officially over, what should we wear instead of white? I have the perfect alternative! Grey, camel, or black are all fantastic neutrals that can replace the white you may normally wear. One really easy and simple way to pull off a neutral look is to throw on a grey t-shirt, some shorts or jeans, and black shoes. Everything about this look is timeless, you will never regret wearing a basic! That is how easy it is to put together a classic neutral ensemble like this one! To create a neutral outfit for fall or winter, wear a camel sweater with black skinny jeans and some cute…

The Perfect Pinstripe Jumpsuit
Fun fact about Sarah: pinstripes make me feel like a boss! They are sleek and oh so flattering! All of the elements in this jumpsuit are a huge “YES” for me! The colors, the keyhole detail on the front, the pockets, and the relaxed pant leg to name a few. The cinched waist and pinstripes are the perfect addition to flatter a petite figure like mine, and it will definitely give the illusion of an hourglass figure if that is your goal! The red and blue shades keep this look sophisticated and office ready! It could also easily transition into a fabulous girl’s night out look with only minor changes…

For fall fashion, we already discussed the exciting neon trend that has made an appearance, and how crop tops will be the fall surprise only Faintly Familiar readers will see coming. Now, let’s take closer a look at another fall 2018 trend: the princess sleeves. Yes, you may be thinking of the Seinfeld episode with this puffy shirt, but I assure you this trend is nothing like that!

The Prettiest Little White Dress
Nothing is more of a closet essential than a good white dress. The little white dress can be so versatile, the dress up and dress down options are endless! For me, I love a white dress with a classic pair of cowgirl boots. Of course, you can also wear a dress like this one with sneakers and a denim jacket, too! What stood out to me about this particular white dress is the overlaying and softness! The material feels so lightweight it is perfect for hot days and long hours spent in the sun. Another detail on this dress that sold me was the string on the bodice, it adds…

Movie Monday: Lover Come Back (1961)
One of my favorite Rock Hudson and Doris Day films is definitely Lover Come Back! Maybe it is the nostalgia of what was leftover by the 1950’s or the fact that this film centers around two professionals in the advertising business, the major I am currently studying. Whatever the reason, this goofy romantic comedy goes down in the books right next to When Harry Met Sally on my list of all-time greatest films! These photos are not mine. Lover Come Back is a great example of the kind of tried and true friendship Hudson and Day had in real life. Hudson trusted Day’s comedic timing in each film they starred…

40’s Inspired Top
If there is anything I love as much as watching a classic film, it’s wearing clothes inspired by the silver screen era! I found this chic floral top in the clearance section at Kohl’s for only $9! Just seeing the fluttering cap sleeves and feeling the lightweight material gave me vintage vibes. When I tried this top on, I was immediately taken back to a different time! My favorite touch in this top is the delicate, feminine sleeves. For a while now I have felt the pulse of an older yet somehow modernized style trying to surge back into fashion. Maybe we will have a little taste of The Great…
