Michael Kors Jetset Watch

The watch is still one of our favorite accessories. And even though they have become less 'useful' perse, as their function has been replaced with smartphone, their fashion, nonetheless remains...well...timeless!
The amazing 'Jetset' tortoise shell watch from Michael Kors is all about a great subtle statement - with out all of the flash. And if you don't actually check the time once on it, you're still wearing a very cool piece of arm candy!

Skinny Pants

To say we're obsessed with these pants is a slight understatement. Wear them with a white button up, a black cashmere turtleneck or a t-shirt and beaten up jean jacket...but whatever you do...just WEAR THEM!

How to make a DIY Waxed Denim

If you're anything like us then you've probably been eating Cup Of Noodle for the past month, to save up for those ultra luxe, leather pants you've been dreaming of. Well, now you can give your microwave a break and get the leather look without spending hundreds. Ever since Zara sold out of their burgundy waxed denim jeans Geri and I have been searching for the perfect pair, better yet we found a way to do it ourselves. Update some old jeans you already own with just a few key ingredients.


What you'll need:
Heavy Duty Fabric Wax - Otherwise known as Otter Wax
Hair dryer
Jeans


Step 1 - Lay your pants on a flat work surface. From the bottom of your jeans, rub the wax in even strokes covering the entire surface.


Step 2 - Use your hairdryer to soften wax and smooth out with your fingers to create an even surface and create a waterproofing seal.


Step 3 - Hang your jeans in a cool-dry place for 24 hours to let the wax set.

Accessory of the Week: Warby Parker Glasses


We just got back from a mad trip to NYC for fashion week and one of our most memorable stops was the Warby Parker show room. There were so many amazing glasses, it was nearly impossible to pick a favorite! But the best part about these glasses isn't the incredible price (most pairs for under $100!) it's the fact that for every pair you buy, Warby Parker sends a free pair to someone in need...
It's never felt so good to look this good!
