Sparkling at the Brits | OOTD

Hello lovely reader! For all you fabulous people across the pond, today is an exciting day in the world of music because tonight is the Brit Awards 2018!! Last year while living in London I was lucky enough to make one of my dreams come true and attend this legendary event in music. I had the best time and it was an incredible night that I will never forget. To anyone attending I hope you have a fantastic evening and to those who wish they were going like me, you can watch the show live on YouTube and if you get the AXS channel they are playing it this evening! So as an homage to that magical night I thought would share what I wore with you all.

The Limited Edition Epigraph Collection | Warby Parker

Hello lovely reader! I hope you are doing well. Today I am very excited to help Warby Parker announce their new Epigraph collection. After learning about the meaning behind it and seeing some of the images, I can honestly say that I really like it! Authenticity when posting is something that I believe to be important. If the brand or product is not something that I genuinely like, would buy, or care about, I am not going to talk about it. So believe me when I share things like this that it is sincere! Not only do I admire them as a business and for the great charity work that they do, but I also like their aesthetic and the thought that goes into their collections.

The "Epigraph Collection" is the title of this newest line with glasses and sunglasses in styles ranging from classic smart, to rectangular and even a bit of a cat eye. When speaking to them I learned that they "employed a custom metal end piece with an integrated hinge, which elevates the frame’s aesthetic." These Italian-made frames and metal details give a modern twist to each look.





You may be wondering what an "epigraph" is, as I was, so I did some research. The definition of an epigraph is, "a short quotation or saying at the beginning of a book or chapter, intended to suggest its theme." As soon as I read this, I started thinking about how I often use fashion, my choices of what I wear and how I accessorize, as my own physical version of an epigraph. What I choose to wear can offer a summary of who I am or how I am feeling on a certain day, what my "theme" is. I believe that for many of us how we present ourselves offers a great insight into who we are or who we want to become. That is one of the reasons why I love fashion and this industry so much. 

I have picked out a few of my favorites below that can help to shed some insight on your theme of the day.

You may be feeling nostalgic and want to have a good 50s/60s cat-eye throwback with "Louise". I love the dusty pink color of these glasses with the mix of darker shades.
















I really like the simplicity of these glasses especially in black with the rose gold metal detailing on the sides. One word...Smart.

Or maybe you want to amp up the sophistication with the Alcott style. I immediately picture these glasses with a crisp white collared shirt tucked into some navy tie waist dress pants and a bold lip.





My very favorite pieces from the line are the Winnie sunglasses which come in pink and black. So gorgeous! The black has a lovely rose gold metal detailing and the I love the shade of pink for the spring with the gold detailing.

Thank you to Warby Parker for the chance to get an early preview of the latest collection and giving me the opportunity to share it with all of you! I also would like to say that I am not getting paid for this post or if you click any of the links.

What I Got For My Birthday

Hello lovely reader! The other day I was trying to get my little space on the internet organized, sorting photos, deleting old notes, etc. and  discovered deep in the depths of my drafts a "What I Got For My Birthday" post from two years ago! I went through what I had and pretty much all of the items are still available and are products that I still use/like and if not I shared alternatives that are similar!
