Scarves are something I’ve only started embracing in the past few years, and I don’t see myself abandoning their awesome ways any time soon. So many patterns and great colors this fall!
By nature I’m a little hesitant when it comes to celebrity lines of fashion and jewelry because I rarely like them and it seems like a name was just slapped on to boost sales. But I must admit that Kate Bosworth and her design partner Cher Coulter really seem to have nailed it with JewelMint. About a month ago the company contacted me to see if I’d like to take a look at their collection and select a few pieces that highlighted trends I was seeing and wearing myself.
The first piece I chose was the Silver Zip bracelet that looks like a zipper flash-frozen into a bangle. The Encore necklaces are two tassled necklaces with color blocking and beads that can be worn together or separately. And then the New Heights bracelet, which is actually a version of a friendship bracelet that wraps several times around your wrist and closes with a clever silver belt-bucklish clasp.
Each piece showed up in its own magnetic box encased in a velvet pouch and sporting a card telling all about my new jewelry. I’ve worn all three pieces several times now and have never once told someone where I got them unless they complimented me. And wow, did they! The New Heights bracelet has received the most raves by far and I wear it nearly every day, with the Silver Zip bracelet coming in a close second.
Surprisingly each piece only costs $29.99 because the entire shebang is based on a monthly membership system (but don’t worry, you can skips months and not be charged). Start off by taking a style test to send you towards pieces you’re most likely to gravitate towards or just start looking around. Check out how it all works right here.

Even though it’s only just this week dipped into the 80s here, I’m already thinking well ahead into December. When I’ll finally be able to (hopefully) get out my winter coats and other paraphernalia. I have a deep love of all things cowl necked, and can’t help but eye up these scarves from Pip Robins in anticipation.
I’ve been meaning to order a pair of Warby Parker glasses since they came out. Then since they opened a showroom at Shop Good. Then when they debuted their line of sunglasses. You get the picture. So when my two year eye appointment rolled around this month I knew it was really time. Lucky for me, Oklahoma City is one of four locations in the U.S. that have physical showrooms – it’s located inside Shop Good. I swear I’d been in there trying on frames no fewer than three times over the past year. The owners, Justin and Audrey, are sweethearts who I’ve been lucky enough to know for about a year and a half. After about thirty minutes I settled on the Beckett frames and my order was complete in less than five minutes. Monday I got the email saying my glasses had shipped, and yesterday they were waiting on my doorstep when I got home from work. They showed up in the best box with a case lined in electric blue. Oh! And a pair of their glasses went to someone in need when I purchased mine, all for a very affordable $95 total.
Then I immediately took my contacts out and tried them on. After ten hours at the office. Just for you.
PS: This is not a sponsored post, I’m just a big fan of the company and their products.
I’ve always loved a good hat, especially a cloche. Maybe because I find them most flattering on myself. (Or maybe they remind me of one of my favorites, The Great Gatsby.) I wish I wore them more, then I could justify snatching up that woven one for the dog days of summer. The Hat Shop has a beautiful selection, including a few top-notch fascinators.

Last Saturday I was out and about and decided to reward myself (more on that later) with a new watch. The Nixon Time Teller P to be exact, my watch brand of choice. I bought my first as a 24th birthday gift to myself, an awesome skinny-strapped black leather double wrap with a rectangular electric blue face that they sadly no longer make. Shortly thereafter I stopped wearing a watch altogether because I was tired of it banging against my desk while I designed. But when I saw this shocking pink beauty with a silicone everything I knew I’d struck gold. It’s a men’s watch, which I prefer and comes in a great array of bright monotones. The thing is, I wonder if I’ll ever be able to get used to looking at my wrist for the time ever again…
