My new favorite accessory – Peepers!!

By

One thing you must know about me when it comes to fashion is,  accessories are ALWAYS the star of my looks!!  I believe that when it comes to choosing accessories, they allow you to bring out your personality and uniqueness.  What comes to mind when I say the word Accessories?  Most likely you are thinking, a great pair of shoes, or an amazing statement necklace, a wonderful structured handbag right????  Well, I want to add one more important item that I bet NEVER entered your mind……….a fabulous pair of EYEGLASSES!  Think about it, if you wear glasses they are most likely the first thing that people see when they look at you.  So, why not make them take a ‘second look’ by wearing the most fabulous brand of eyewear I have found!  Peepers by peeperspecs!

Where do I even start with all the things I love about Peepers?!  They are so fashion forward with such a unique selection of frames and colors, I actually am more excited about choosing which pair I want to wear with each outfit than anything else.  When you see and feel the quality of their frames, you will be amazed when you find out how much they cost!!!  Their average pair range around $25 which makes me even more excited to share them with you.  Here are some of my favorite pairs that I think you will love.

 

 

 

Lets start with these fabulous and bold Bravado (Blue Light) fames in black.  If these don’t make a statement I don’t know what can.  I love that they come with Blue Light protection, since so many of us spend countless hours in front of a screen.  It is no surprise this pair was chosen as one of Oprah’s New Favorite Frames for 2019!!  They come in a variety of colors and you can even order them with no correction if you just want to use them as a fashion statement!!!

 

 

These Coffee Shop frames in Tortoise Wood were another pair that I knew I needed to have.  Between the oversized thick frames and the contrast of recycled bamboo arms, they will certainly cause you to stand out!  These come in several other color combinations that you are sure to love.

 

These ‘eye catching’ Center Stage Focus frames, shown above in Navy Tortoise, are listed as not only Peepers most popular frames, but also as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things!  These frames also offer their Focus Blue Light protection from harmful side effects that come from our computer and phone screens.  They also come in six other amazing color ways and trust me I will be going back for several more colors.

Last but not least, I am wearing these gorgeous Limelight frames in Gray Tortoise.  This pair gave me a fun animal print vibe when I saw them.  All eyes will be on you in this polished style that suits all face shapes.  They also include  Blue Light protection and comes in four other colorways that will compliment any skin tone.  You can see why these also made Oprah’s Favorite Things list as it did mine!

I can’t say enough great things about Peepers and I feel super confident recommending any of their fashion forward frames for you to purchase for yourself or as a gift.  The fact that they are so affordable makes me love them even more.  Lets face it, if you are like me we sometimes misplace our readers (does that come with age)lol, but seriously, as affordable as they are, you can buy several pairs to leave around the house in case of a mishap.

Now you understand why Peepers is now my New favorite accessory and hopefully it will be yours too!

Enjoy a Cozy Winter with Peach!

By

This is my favorite time of year!   As the chill in the air has arrived so comes the time to bundle up with fabulous warm cozy outfits!  I am excited to show you the new Winter ’19 Collection from Peach.  This collection is called Nordic Lights, and it might be my favorite yet from Peach!  They describe it as ‘Cozy meets Festive’ and I would have to totally agree as these pieces can take you from brunch to parties, or a football game to lounging by a fire.  All the things I love to do this time of year!  I decided to pick a few great outerwear pieces for myself as well as a ‘Chic’ jogger set that I absolutely love and wanted to share with you, so here they are.

 

First up is this fabulous Faroe Sherpa Jacket.  I selected the color Cloud because I just love wearing white in the winter.   I love it as shown here with denim and booties, but this jacket has taken me to the gym in the cold morning hours.  It is so cozy and I love that it is fully lined.  It is designed to give a relax fit and I purposely sized up one size (Size Small) and I am really happy I did.  This jacket ranges from XXS to XXL and also comes in a beautiful rose color as well.  I can’t say enough great things about this great piece.

Next up is this adorable Polar Pom Hoodie in the color Carbon.  I mean, can you ever be too old for Pom Poms??  I can’t tell you how many compliments I have gotten on this fun cropped jacket.  There are so many great details on this jacket, from the faux fur hoodie, to the velvet draw string cords.  It is the perfect versatile piece that works with jeans, leather pants and even your favorite pair of leggings.  It is also fully lined and it is so soft and cozy.  I would say this jacket is true to size (I am wearing an XS) and it also comes in a range from XXS to XXL and comes in the color Cloud.  If you are wanting to stand out in the crowd, treat yourself to this fabulous jacket!

I might have saved the best for last with this luxurious stretch velvet  Sofie Sweatshirt and Sofie Joggers.  I knew the minute I laid my eyes on these pieces I wanted to get it as a set, but they both stand on their own seperately.  Lets start with the top, I love the oversized funnel neckline with the drawstring detail.  This fabric is so fabulous, you won’t want to take it off.  I stayed true to size on this top (Size XS) and it also comes in a range from XXS to XXL.  If you are a ‘pink’ kind of girl, it also comes in a beautiful Blush color.  Now onto these super chic and comfy Sofie Joggers.  They are also stretch velvet and so cozy you might want to sleep in them!  They have an elastic waistband with an internal drawcord, my favorite thing are the pockets!  They are suppose to have a relaxed look, so I sized up one size (Size Small) and they gave me the fit I was looking for.  They range from XXS to XXL.  I decided to style them for you as I would wear them to a fun night out by adding these leopard booties and a great bag.  But of course, it is the perfect errand running outfit or travel ootd by adding a fun sneaker.  Either way, I promise you this outfit will be on major repeat!

I highly encourage you to check out this entire Nordic Lights Collection and pick yourself up one or two pieces to add to your winter wardrobe.  I would love to hear from you what your favorite pieces are in the comments below.

How To Look Chic Yet Comfy – Athleisure wear

By

 

I don’t know about you, but I love looking Chic yet feeling comfy. No one wants to go out in their PJ’s, but with the new athleisure trend you can look chic, but feel comfortable.

 

I am sharing my current athleisure favorites with you as well as where I like to shop for the best looks.

I tend to keep my colors in black, white, and grey tones.  I might add an accent color in either my shoes, bag or maybe a layering piece.  When you do that, I find it makes it so much easier to get dressed and know you are looking very stylish and comfy at the same time.

 

 

 

 

Any of these looks (featured above) could be worn running errands, going to a hair appointment or even when it is your turn to volunteer at school.

Some of my favorite places to shop for athleisure wear is Lululemon (of course), Old Navy, Aerie, Loft (Lou & Grey line) and Gap.

 

I hope this post might help you as a guide to put some great athleisure outfits together from pieces you have in your closet, or use them as a guide when you go shopping for some great basic pieces to add to your wardrobe.

 

xoxo,
