Spring Fashion Sensations

Spring Styles

This Spring, pastels are huge. Light, flirty colors are taking over the run way and taking over the store fronts today. Not only are pastels big in women's fashions, but also in men's! Check it out!

One thing I love to do, especially in the Spring, is to take inspiration from some of my favorite movie characters. Kara Hayward, who play's Suzy in Moonrise Kingdom, has an adorable style. Check it out!

For my last Spring style, I have to mention everything floral. Floral print has always been big, but with fashion taking a look back at the 60's and the 70's it's really taken off again. Check it out!

Kitten Heels

~A kitten heel is a short, slender heel that is normally much easier to walk in! They are very popular this winter season and can be seen worn by many celebrities during this award season. Here are some great kitten heels from Modcloth: 

Downton Abbey

If I could only watch one show for the rest of my life it would defiantly be Downton Abbey. If you have never seen it then you need to check it out. It is a British period drama set from 1912 and on that depicts the extravagant life of the Crawley family and their servants. Watch it...watch it now!

The Carrie Diaries
My current T.V. obsession is an amazing new show called "The Carrie Diaries." If you've ever seen Sex and the City then you know of Miss Carrie Bradshaw, Well...this is before she was a famous writer. The show follows her senior year of high-school in the fabulous 80's!


Here are some great tunes I'm currently listening to that I will leave you all with!

(The Girl~City and Colour)

(Classy Girls~The Lumineers)

I hope you all are having an amazing winter...Love, Grace Elizabeth Nickols...xoxo. 

Fall Fashion Inspiration: From Audrey Hepburn to Elizabeth Taylor

Recently  I have combing through thrift stores, library book sales, and my grandma's bookshelf for books about the fabulous Audrey Hepburn. It has kind of become a hobby for me. I love finding them...it literally brings me so much joy. Her style was iconic and I love mirroring it!

It seems these days that people are modeling the styles of today after those of the 50's and 60's. It is shown in magazines like Vogue and Elle the drastic comparisons to these styles of the past!

Dressing like your favorite icon from the past is so simple, you just have to know what to look for! For example, let's take a look at Audrey's style. Through pictures you can really tell that she loved stripes!

Audrey also had a thing for the classic pea-coat!

Finally, Audrey loved her shorts! Especially high waisted ones!
