David Kind

In the past two years I’ve swapped out my contacts for glasses nearly every day of the week. My eyes feel so much better, look less bloodshot, and of course it doesn’t hurt that they’re on trend. As are mail order try-on and buy eyeglass services, like David Kind. The difference between them and other similar companies are that A. you are paired with a stylist who chooses six frames based on a photo you submit and your style preferences. And B. their Trivex/High Index HD Digital Lenses which offer crystal clear optics in the thinnest form.

A few days later your at home try-ons arrive in this slick cork covered box that has a mirror inside. You have six days to make your decision, or David Kind will continue to work with you until you’re happy. Then once you place your order your new prescription shows up within a week. Nice, right?

So you know where I’m going with this from the bevy of ridiculous faces and windswept hair above, yes? I had to try out David Kind for myself. My current frames aren’t quite the right prescription and I’m starting to notice. I went for my annual eye exam about two months ago, but held off on purchasing new frames at that time. My expert stylist, Laura, selected the Ace, Otto, Roman, Mia, Clover, and Richmond frames for me to try out. I’m torn between two, but I want to know what you all think – vote away below!

Worn Stories

I have a box full of clothing from different periods of my life – a Grateful Dead shirt from high school, my favorite baby doll tee from freshman year of college, an interview skirt from my first job search – that I just can’t seem to part with. Are you the same way? If you are, well, we’re not alone. Emily Spivack’s Worn Stories shares 60+ clothing-inspired first-person narratives that spill about the stories of our lives. (You can submit your own memory for a chance to win a copy of the book.)

Tiro Tiro’s Cercis Collection

There are certain collections I wait for each season, inevitably wondering how it would even be humanly possible to best their last. Tiro Tiro is one of them. Teresa Robinson’s latest – Cercis – is a mad dance between brass and linen fringe that is perfectly choreographed. I think the Cercis Earrings are my favorite out of the fourteen piece collection.

Dealtry

I’m on a scarf kick so far this fall, and my latest of note are by Dealtry. Floral textile designer Helen Dealtry tells a bit about the inspiration behind each scarf’s design. Each one is painted in her Brooklyn studio, then woven in a mix of modal and cashmere and digitally printed in India. (She also has a rather fantastic Instagram feed if you’re into that kind of thing.)

BOUND

We can all thank an excess of wood scraps and an interest in furniture design for what resulted in BOUND, a breathtaking geometric line of wooden jewelry from Emma Holland Denvir. Architectural lines, an interest in sculpture, and 3D design also play roles in the evolution of Emma’s necklaces, earrings, and rings. If you want to make a statement with your accessories this fall, BOUND is the place to start!

Rebecca Gladstone Jewellery

The only thing that makes a gorgeous minimalist jewelry collection better is when there’s a beautifully styled and photographed lookbook to heighten the experience. Such is most definitely the case with Rebecca Gladstone Jewellery. The clean lines, graphic elements, and geometric forms of the collection are indicators of Gladstone’s past as an art and design teacher – wouldn’t you say?

No Ocean

I’m either in the process of growing my hair out or just too lazy to make an appointment with my stylist. It’s still up in the air. Most days I end up wearing sort of topknot to A. avoid using the hairdryer, B. keep my mop out of my face, and C. that lazy thing again. I’m a firm believer that the topknot can be a legit style if done right, so that’s what I’m out to do. Luckily there are these beautiful scarves from No Ocean that look great as a hair accessory and can be worn any number of ways . The patterns and colors feel spot on for fall, so it’s just a matter of choosing your favorite. (Now someone please teach me to tie one this well!)
