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. 

July Favorites (Random things)

August has just begun so I don't think it's too late to post this. These are just some random things that I have been really liking during the month of July. A few are more fashion related so I will begin with those.

Phone cases. 

I love phone cases and there are so many cute ones out there. When I first got my phone case I looked all over the Internet trying to find the perfect one. (My phone was without a case for quite a while and I was definitely paranoid during that time that something would happen to it) I looked on etsy link which has tons of options for all styles and price ranges. I had found a few but decided to see what the shops had before I ordered something and I am so glad that I did. I ended up getting a case from the Apple store, which surprised me because when I looked on the Apple website they did not have many that I liked. (Is anyone else not a fan of their site for tech accessories I feel like they should have the most options yet they don't?) Anyway, the case that I got is by Cath Kidston and I LOVE it! It is exactly what I had been looking for. I've had it for about six months and it's stayed in great shape. The color was off white so it stays clean looking and it feels almost soft. All in all I just really like how it looks and I think it protects the phone well. 

More recently I bought another phone case just to have as a back-up or if I want to switch things up. It is by IZAK and I think it's super cute and fun! I first discover IZAK when he did a range of products with Sephora. I bought the makeup bag and I adore it and still use it. His illustrations are amazing. If you haven't ever heard of him definitely check him out! Back to the case though, this one is white and pretty much everything on it I love. There's bows and shoes and makeup brushes and fashionable looking girls holding balloons and shopping bags there's little gems and well you get the idea. 

Sunglasses.

I got these sunglasses a couple months back and they are great! They are by Oscar De La Renta and are a brown tint with brown auburnish frames. The reason I like these glasses so much is the shape and the weight. I have had sunglasses in the past that have a really nice shape but feel quite heavy on my nose and ears and end up giving me a headache. These sunglasses are so so light! They literally weigh almost nothing and sometimes I forget I'm even wearing them (yes I promise that has really happened). I also like the shape because they are a bit bigger which I prefer for my face shape. 

House Hunters International.

I am obsessed with this show right now. Everyday I set it to record and then I watch it at night. It follows people who are moving internationally, a real estate agent shows them three houses trying to cater to their need or wants and then the people must choose. (I probably made it sound way more boring than the show is because it's not boring at all but I'm not sure how else to describe it:) I'm always interested to see what house around the world look like and how it is similar or different to where I am. If you love traveling or homes you will enjoy this show!

Songza. 

Songza is a music playing app and it is FREE. When you first open the screen it will give you options of what type of music to play based on the time of day or you can search artist or other playlist. I really like this app because of the selections and suggestions of playlists. The pictures and screen are a.so very HD. There are few adds which recently I have been having issues with on pandora (they play almost every time I change stations!) so now I stick to Songza!
