Proof that My Fair Lady styles are relevant as ever

This week’s post is another tribute to the past since I am such a fashion history junkie.

If you have not seen the 1964 Film of My Fair Lady, featuring Audrey Hepburn, you’re seriously missing out. In the Edwardian London, Professor Higgins (a rich, but tactless phonetics expert), makes a bet that he can turn Eliza Doolittle (a young woman selling flowers with a strong Cockney accent) into a proper English speaking lady. The two get to work on Eliza being able to pass off as a duchess at the Embassy Ball. It’s witty, comedic, and it will tug your heartstrings. And not to mention the costumes! Oh god, the flamboyant, stunning, ornate costumes!! I can’t event begin to describe them! *ahem* Anyways, here are some modern day fashion trends that I find reminiscent of My Fair Lady.

Looking slayin’ while working out

I’ve been so excited to share this post with you guys!!!

With the rise of athleisure, it’s become possible for us fashion girls to kill our style while killing the weights.

Spring Trends that are Decidedly NOT Floral

So much of spring fashion focuses on florals (see: The Devil Wears Prada’s famous line by Miranda Priestly – “Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.”). Don’t get me wrong; floral prints really are wonderful, but what about the days when a bright and happy floral top just doesn’t feel right?

For You, To Be More Daring

It’s still January, and for those of us who are keeping with their resolutions- congratulations! This is the best part of a new year, where you can still feel ambitious about all the things you wanted to do, to go, to eat and see! For me, every time I seem to have time to do the things I’ve been meaning to do, something else comes up. I’m sure everyone else must feel this way too but it’s no excuse to forget! Every year is a chance to better ourselves whether it’s to encourage ourselves to try or learn something new. For 2017, this year’s theme will be to be more daring.
