Ralph Lauren Bears Return

polobear_main

Ralph Lauren has decided to lead his very cute, yet stylish teddy bears out of hibernation. Well, not completely.

Ralph Lauren has introduced the Bring It Back program which aims at temporarily bringing back iconic pieces from the line. The first contender – the Polo Bear Sweater. Oh, how do I remember these cute, stylish and too pricey for my mom to buy me in high school sweaters. Now, I might have my chance to get one, but there is a catch. They will only bring back one of the bear sweaters back into production. Which one, you ask? Oh, that’s up to us.

Ralph Lauren is taking votes via social media accounts and the one with the most votes will hopefully be hanging in  my closet in the very near future. Visit www.rlvintage.com to place your votes. Currently, “preppy bear”, as I like to call him, is in the lead. I think he’s my pick, too. Check out all 4 contenders below.

Ehh…she’s alright.
My favorite. Preppy and classic.
Sophisticated.

Sucker For Pretty Packaging + GIVEAWAY!

Glovethelook_loehman

I’m a sucker for packaging and I know that I’m not alone. Think of the countless times that a sparkly box or clean and class looking wrapper made you instantly buy something or feel that it was the best thing to buy over their competitors. Let’s face it, people judge a book by it’s cover a.k.a basing perception of people off of how they look. It’s not good, but it’s reality…unfortunately.

Picture this. You have a Christmas party to go that will attended by friends, strangers, and potentially new friends and/or love interest(s). So, you know that you need to look your best when you strut in that party and pick out the hottest outfit you have. I mean, your outfit is drop dead AMAZING! Everything is put together! You selected the right jewelry and accessories to compliment the dress and overall look. So, when you reach for that simple, but chic coat to cover your amazing showstopper outfit, then right don’t you accessorize that look?

Sometimes, we overlook accessorizing the outerwear outfit, which can throw off the main outfit. One of the most overlooked outerwear accessories are gloves. They are so important and the right pair can pull together any outfit. The colorful knit gloves are fun and comfy, however, nothing beats a pair clean, classic, and cashmere lined leather gloves, like these Portolano pair. Plus, they can go with practically any look; casual or dressy.

So, next time you find yourself all dolled up with somewhere to go, remember to make sure your outwear looks just as fab, which includes a perfect pair of gloves.

****GIVEAWAY****

Want to win a similar pair of Portolano gloves yourself? Well, since it’s the holiday season, I’m going to make this as simple as possible!

Sunglasses For…Square Faces

sunglasses_squarefaces_main

Square faces are said to be some of the hardest (no pun intended) faces to shop for glasses. Square faces tend to have stronger jawbones and wider cheeckbones. Basically, very chiseled features and depending on if you want to emphasis the strength of your features or soften them will determine what to look for when shopping for square faces.

Here are some tips from SunglassesShop.com for shopping for sunglasses for square faces:

  • Aviators are a great shape for a square face. If you have strong features, the bigger the better, whilst delicate features are better suited to the small to medium sized option.
  • Oversized shades with strong detailing will complement your own defined framework.
  • Oval and round frames look great edged with a solid acetate rim. For a more masculine approach, metal framework with dark lenses also look great on square faces, accentuating your chiseled features.
  • Rectangular shaped frames with soft edges are a classic, unisex option. Stay away from too much detail on the outer edges and arms. This shape needs to be kept soft on a defined shaped face.
  • To soften a really strong jaw, go for the butterfly frame, ladies. Over sized and glam, and most importantly, ultra feminine.
  • Stay away from heavy brow detailing if you want to soften your face shape. A double brow bar will only mimic a strong jaw so if you want to play it down, lay off any angular brown detailing.

Here are some of my favorite designer sunglasses that are perfect for square faces.
