Capitol Couture

Today I’m here to tell you about an exciting new collection inspired by the new Hunger Games movie, Catching Fire. The Capitol Couture Collection by Trish Summerville is available exclusively from Net-A-Porter beginning today. I’ve seen Catching Fire twice so far (it released Thursday night) and it is a spectacular film adaption of the book. The acting, screenplay, and costumes are phenomenal. This collection draws on the costumes used in the movie, as well as descriptions from the book itself. When viewing the collection, you can see that it is based on the strong character of Katniss Everdeen (certainly not Effie!). But that is what makes the collection so wearable. The pieces work cohesively with each other and you can definitely mix and match many different ways. There’s a good assortment of pants, tees and tanks, dresses, jackets, and a few unique accessories. The collection is pricy for a high school girl like me, but for someone who routinely shops brands like Tibi and Equipment, the collection is decently priced and appears to be good quality.

My Picks:

The collection is well-rounded and includes a fair amount of loungewear, as well. The collection was designed by Trish Summerville and she nailed it. I’d really love to acquire a piece or two from the Capitol Couture collection, but it’s a little out of my price range. I’ll just lust over it online for now. 

Will you be purchasing a piece from the Capitol Couture Collection by Trish Summerville?  Which pieces are your favorites?

Sunny Sunnies

Hi lovelies,

Today I'm here to announce the new Warby Parker sunglasses collection! Named after the geographical line that pilots use to determine their longitudinal degree (the Prime Meridian, if you're wondering), the Meridian Collection consists of three different sizes of aviator sunglasses. Each style is available in gold or silver.

I've always had a really hard time finding a pair of aviator sunnies that fit well and are flattering on my face shape. So I think it's great that there are three sizes to choose from in this collection. This increases the possibility of finding a pair of aviators that are right for your 'one of a kind' face. Each style is available with prescription lenses ($195), or as a regular, non-prescription pair of sunglasses ($145).

Meet Exley:

"Exley’s charm lies in its shape: a flattering take on the teardrop, rimmed with a just-right metallic shade that offsets both the fairest and most sunburned of tones." 

Meet Raskin:

"With its larger lens and wider frame, the Raskin is a sharp companion for on-the-road affairs." 

Meet Flannery:

"Both mavericks and traditionalists will appreciate the classic, polished Flannery—a medium-fit pair perfect for playing hooky or completing more stately activities."

I think the Meridian Collection is great for the wanderer, the traveler, and the day-tripper. Each of the three styles has unique personality while retaining a similar teardrop shape. The frames are fashioned from sturdy Japanese ion-plated titanium. I love the different metallic mirroring of the lenses in each style. I also love how the sides (or 'arms') of the glasses vary by style. These sunglasses are stylish, durable, and affordable, making them great for road trips, weekend getaways, or longer summer adventures. For every pair purchased, Warby Parker will donate a pair to someone in need. The limited edition Meridian Collection launches today and will be available on Warby Parker's website and at Warby Parker retail stores. I just might have to snatch up a pair of these aviators for myself, and online shoppers can relax with free shipping, home try-ons, and returns.

What do you think of the new Meridian Collection? Let me know by commenting below!

*Disclaimer: I was not paid to write this post, nor was I sent a free pair of sunglasses from the collection. Warby Parker asked if I would be willing to feature the launch of the Meridian Collection in a post, and as a self-proclaimed sunglasses addict, I was more than happy to. All opinions are my own.

Gettin' Foxy

Hi everyone!

If you remember one of my previous posts, I discussed the current trend of animals printed on clothing items and accessories. Today, I'd like to share with you an amazing collection by Tory Burch- the Fox Collection!

I love the print used throughout this collection, and even more, the way the fox is incorporated into the jewelry pieces. Take a look!

I wasn't able to show nearly everything in this post, but I encourage you to visit www.toryburch.com to see the full collection. Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus also carry parts of the collection.

Let me know what you think of this trend and collection!

xoxo,
