Warby Parker: Palm Canyon Collection

I have such exciting news! Warby Parker has just announced their limited-edition Palm Canyon Collection. This new collection of frames come in four styles Winston, Duckworth, Preston, and Wheeler. 

The quality and chic styles are what we have grown to know and love about Warby Parker's eyeglasses and sunglasses...and what makes the Palm Canyon Collection extra special is that not one single pair is alike. This is because they have spent a year perfecting their design and construction. Each frame features a hand-mixed acetate inset at the end piece. So when you wear these great looks you'll be extra stylish, yet totally unique.

Also, don't forget that for every pair of glasses that are purchased, Warby Parker distributes a pair to someone in need. 

Be sure to stop by and check out the collection. Which style from the Palm Canyon Collection is your favorite?

Put A Lid On It

Hats are my go to accessory when the weather starts to get cooler. Nothing like being fashion forward while masking your bad hair day and keeping your head warm. I can't get enough of them! I recently bought this adorable Daisy Cloche from Brooklyn Industries and made a point to wear it this past weekend. The cold and wind were awful, but the hat kept me looking perfectly put together.

Here are some more styles I have my eye on...

Stitch Banded Hat available at Free People- $58

Zaffre Fedora available at Anthropologie- $48

Bailey® for J.Crew Felt Hat available at J.Crew- $98

Grosgrain Panama Hat available at Urban Outfitters- $39

My oh my...it's been too long! So much has been going on lately. I feel like I've been going in circles. I'm still getting over being sick (this cough is just lingering), and we have been apartment hunting in our free time. Well, it seems like today I can take a deep breath and relax because we got approved for the apartment we wanted in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Our lease starts in December, and I'm so excited! The best part is that we will finally have a view. All the years I have lived in Manhattan we have always just had a "true New York City View"...i.e. a brick wall. In the new apartment we have a view of the Williamsburg Bridge, lower Manhattan, and an iconic Brooklyn water tower. *sigh* I can't wait to share photos with you all.

Must Have: Statement Necklace

I definitely believe that accessories truly make an outfit. Personally, the one accessory that I cannot live without is the statement necklace. It really adds something special to any outfit. No matter if you are dressed up in a cocktail dress for a party, or dressed way down in a pair of jeans...it gives you instant style!

It's even a huge trend in Hollywood. Here are some of my favorite looks worn by Hilary Swank, Emma Stone, and Nikki Reed. Now I ask that you look at their outfits and try to imagine them without the necklaces...it's just not quite the same. Right? The statement pieces really elevate their outfit to the next level.

What I love most about this look is that it is something that anyone can obtain. Statement necklaces really can range from the very affordable to the extremely expensive. Here are some of my absolute favorite picks that you must check out-

Statement of the Art Necklace available at ModCloth- $49.99

Sparkling Faux Stone Necklace available at Forever 21- $19.80

Bejeweled Necklace available at t + j Designs- $48

Kinsley available at DANNIJO- $695 $417

Miami Block Necklace available at Francesca's Collection- $26

Stone Statement Necklace available at BCBG- $148

Fascinating Fascinators

A few weeks ago my parents were in Dublin, Ireland. While on their vacation they stumbled upon a cute vintage store, The Harlequin, where they picked up two adorable fascinators for me. Just call me Kate Middleton...well, not really. But they are so fun to wear.

This black feathery one is very wearable and adds a little something special to any outfit. Don't you love it?

Okay, this one is a little more out there...but isn't it amazing??? Wearing it reminds me of women with crazy hats at the horse races for some reason. Now I think I will have to have a derby party this year.  :-)

What do you think of fascinators? Do you have any?

Gift Guide- Accessories

I absolutely love accessories. Adding them to any outfit gives you instant style. They also are a very simple gift when you are in a pinch. I find that these make fantastic gifts for someone you know really well...or someone that you hardly know at all. Here are my favorite accessories to gift---

Hats are a fun way to add some personality to your look. Winter time is always a great time to wear an adorable cloche. This one, available at ModCloth, is my current favorite...probably because it is pink.

Jewelry always makes a great gift. There are some amazing pieces available at t + j Designs. Unique styles at affordable prices...gotta love them!

Gloves are a fantastic item for the holidays...especially if you live where it is cold. You know the recipient will use them...and if they are cute, you know they will love wearing them. Check out these beautiful Leather Cashmere Lined Gloves from Coach. They come in seven different colors (again, I'm partial to pink!) and they are sure to make anyone's holiday a little brighter.

Who doesn't love a great handbag? Matt and Nat has some amazing vegan handbags. I personally love this black vegan Hendrix bag in their collection. Slightly edgy, yet very wearable.

Scarves are a great go to gift when you don't know what to get someone. They can wear it with their coat...or to add some color and texture to their outfit. What I really love is the eternity scarf. This is the "circle scarf" that you simply loop over your head. It's probably one of the easiest scarves to wear because you don't have to worry about how you tie it. I love this Ecote Abstract Open Weave Eternity Scarf available at Urban Outfitters.

1) a unique necklace- This Nylon Popsicle Necklace from Urban Outfitters fits the bill. This 16 inch long chain has a sprinkled popsicle charm dangling from it. This is a web-exclusive...so don't pop into your local Urban Outfitters and expect to find it there. Buy one now for $55.
2) tights with a pattern- Forever 21 has these adorable Diamond Tights available for only $6.80! What a great deal! They are available in two colors: black and dark grey. Why bother wearing boring opaque tights, when legwear like this is available?

4) a feathered headband- Feathers are all the rage this fall...as are headbands. So putting the two together brings together one amazing look! This Lace & Feather Headband from Forever 21 instantly dresses up any look. It comes in 3 colors: purple, black, and navy. Wear one to your next cocktail party and you'll be sure to turn a few heads! And for $4.80 you can't go wrong!

5) a bold handbag- My favorite place for funky bags has to be Brooklyn Industries. They always have amazing bags with bold prints. Right now Brooklyn Industries has this Lexy Bag- Circles and Crochet on sale for only $29 (regularly priced at $62).
