Fashion: fabulous four eyes!

"Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses..."

Wile that may be one of the oldest pieces of advice you may ever hear, we just don't think it is true!

(Oliver Peoples)

We happen to think that their is nothing as sexy as four eyes!
Well, alright that is super untrue, we can think of a lot of things that are more sexy...

But the right pair of specs can make you look amazingly cool and kissable.

Case in point, the lovable guy who made it "Hip to be square" Buddy Holly... A dude who can rock the thick retro frames is a winner in our hearts.

And of COURSE.... Miss Me's secret boyfriend... Shhh Don't tell Mr. Miss Me...

Ohhh..... thats right, never-mind, he caught on to our infatuation with the coolest four-eyed fella to ever sail across the pond long ago.
Elvis Costello, Thank you for being beyond amazing.

No longer ladies do you have to suffer through the pain of huge, magnifying, amber tinted, coke bottle frames that dominated in the 1970's.
(Dear 70's loved the hair... Ditch the glasses. XOXO)

Did we say we could think of something sexier then a good pair of glasses... Well, that something is Johnny Deep in a good pair of glasses.

Your welcome ladies.. and fellas too for that matter.

The right frame can add to your look in the same way as the perfect pair of shoes.
We love to get dressed up and then throw on our thick dorky frames.

And the best part is... They actually help us see! No more squinting at the movie screen or missing your turn because you couldn't read the street sign!


Here are a few of our favorite frames right now...
Have fun finding a pair that is just right for you!!


You know how they say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery?
Well, it is true!

When Miss Me saw Miss twh in her amazing Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses turned into reading glasses....

Well, lets just say imitation was the only legal solution.

We also love these crazy color block slightly cat-eye cuties from
L.A Eye Works. So perfect for the color lover in your life.


Truth be told, a bigger sucker for the tortoise /turquoise color combo has never been born.
We just can't get enough!




These Kate Spade frames are the perfect choice.

Mr. Marc Jacobs haas a yummy square frame for all the squares out there.



We are also loving and dying for these heavy black Nerdy McGoo frames from Oliver Peoples!
Weak eyes don't equal something to hide... We heart you and your glasses!

Fashion Friday: Fabulous Fall!


Is there anything more exciting and romantic then the feeling of Fall closing in on us?
(Besides the feeling of Winter, Spring & Summer closing in on us of course)

We have to admit it.... We are ready to kiss the short-shorts and bikinis goodbye for a while.


Just the thought of jackets, sweaters, beanies, boots and scarves is enough to make us weak in the knees.

Add to that the fact that this Fall you can get your hands on long flowing floral dresses and wear them with your combat boots and well, you may just have to grab the smelling salts!

It is almost like we have died and gone to early-era-beyond-rad-Marc-Heaven....

Did we mention gloves yet? In the Fall you can wear GLOVES!
WE KNOW!!

How can fashion feel so stimulating? We get tingles.... And we like it!



Here are just a few of the early fall pieces we are drooling over right now.

The perfect just-off enough army parka.
Pair this Top Shop score with your new flared jeans and a perfect pair of clogs... A thin and loose white tee, Hello perfection!

Step your sweats up to the next level with these DELICIOUS Bird by Juicy cashmere pants complete with cute suspenders...

Or better yet, wait until Forever-21 or Urban Outfitters knock them of for a fraction of the price and buy them then.

We are also loving the menswear trend that is happening.... These cropped trousers are just the ticket for any night out this Fall.

Pair these Elizabeth & James bad boys with a silky cami and a boyfriend blazer, don't forget your sky-high heels and Voila!

Fall, here we come and you better watch out... Because we are gonna eat you up!

L.B.D- Revisited

We all love the classic little black dress.
But right now we are aching to revisit it as the Long Black Dress!

Because nothing is as comfy and sexy as a loose sort of slouchy long black dress.

We heart this tank style from The Pixie Market.

And elevating t-shirt comfort to stylish heights,

We are big fans of this throw it on with some flip flops and lip gloss and your done one shoulder from Rachel Pally.




One shoulders always make us feel instantly sexy.

Speaking of sexy... A little peek-a-boo makes your simple L.B.D something to remember.

Simple sandales a messy bun and some orangey-red lipstick and you are as chic as they come... Plus super comfy.

And as we all know, comfort and confidence equal sexy.

Be timeless, wear black.

Fashion: Put a ring on it... Uh Uh Oh



You know what they say... "If you like it, well, you should have put a ring on it."
But what if you like yourself? Do you still get a ring? We think so!
Here are a few beautiful rings you can put on yourself... Because I also seem to remember some one saying...
"All the women, independent."

And what could be more independent and womanly then the Cartier Panther ring?
Ohhh Yes... And look how good it looks wrapped around Edward, I mean Robert, I mean Edward, nope that is Robert for sure....

Oh wait, it's a panther ring not a cougar ring.. Calm down Miss Me.

You remember how much we love rock and minerals? Well look at this beauty of a ring.

Hey! How did you get in here?

Ok Ringo, we heart you too.

You dirty little diamond you...

In the last year we have developed an unhealthy obsession with Melissa Joy Manning's rings.

We say unhealthy, because we spend countless hours looking at her website and her wares, and still can't decide which one we love the most and need to have.... Can't we have all of them?

We are also in love with this gold dagger ring.

It is so beautiful and so classy, yet at the same time it reminds us of those little plastic swords they use to stab the olives in your martini!

We know this girl... Who loves a ring... OK her initials are G.L.B and
turns out this is her dream engagement ring!

And we could not agree more... It is like her personality was turned into a ring. All bright colors and mathematical angles and radness. We hope she gets it... Even though I know 2 little boys that will miss her terribly when she gets married and leaves home.

We are so in love with this badass stingray ring.

It kind of leaves us speechless.

Don't forget to try ebay for amazing rings as well, they are less expensive and more unique then anything you can find at a store.

Perfect example... This Rhino ring...

Remember ladies... You can always put your own ring on it...
But we still LOVE this song and love the video even more!

We are currently trying to teach the two Jr. Miss Me boys the dance...
Uh Uh OH!

Fashion Friday: Gift Guide Part Duex...


Yesterday we gave you adorable gift ideas for the decor lovers in your life...
Today we bring you a gift guide for the fashion lovers!
FUN!

This is a VERY brief gift guide... We tried to keep the gifts pretty small and focused on accessories because they make such a great gift and of course... ONE SIZE FITS ALL!

First up we have this fantastic faux fur hat... I'm giggling just thinking about my fashionable friend opening a giant hat box and finding this hat!
Because she would just never buy this for herself, but she NEEDS it in her life.

These grey leather gloves will not get as many giggles as the fur hat, but they will get you lots of kisses and never ending B.F.F status!

We are super hearting this Le Mer Collections wrap watch with the gold chain!
Delicate yet sort of fucked up and T-U-F-F, tuff!

Just the right mixture of tomboy and girlie!

Every girl we know is on the hunt for colorful opaque tights right now.
And after finding this picture, we are adding white to our list of colors we are after.

Try We Love Color for opaque tights in pretty much every color of the rainbow!
Can you think of a more perfect stocking stuffer then stockings?

Pay attention now fellas, if you are looking for a little something to give your new lady friend...

Here are some pretty picks for you.

What gal wouldn't love these House of Harlow hoops?
Beautiful, affordable and very stylish you can start checking off your Chanamas list today!

Here is a pretty little ring the pretty little lady in your life.
We are in love with this delicate and sweet spike ring from Jacquie Aiche.

Looking for a little something for the special mom in your life?

How about a stylish little change purse, that could also be used to carry those teeny plastic dinosaurs floating around in Miss Me's purse...Santa are you listening?

From the always fab Marc Jacobs, we heart this little green bag! Just add a red bow and you are good to go, no gift wrap needed!

And for the fashionista who loves to learn and can't get enough documentaries, we have found the perfect gift!
It's the History of Fashion in Western Culture: 7 DVD set!!!
Focused on the 40's, 50's and 60's pop culture and the history of womens clothing.
With 7 DVD's worth of information... This gift will keep on giving for a long time.

We told you how much we love decor books, well surprise! We love fashion books too! Big beautiful books full of fantastic fashion photos.
(Wow, I love that sentence!)

This Avedon Fashion Photography book is the perfect book for anyone who loves art and fashion.

OK you caught us... This is veering way WAY off the one size fits all gift guide plan, but it is that sexy.

We are adding this delicious soft black lace bra from Agent Provocateur to our Christmas list. So honey if you are reading this, lets swap out that Christmas sweater for something a little more slinky.

Just kidding! Really if your husband ever buys you this sweater, have him call us.

Happy shopping, happy giving!

P.S- Do you heart Oprah? We do! And guess what? She hearts us too!
