Please excuse my lapse in posting, but a much needed trip back to NC halted my time spent behind the computer screen. Since moving to NYC last September, we had not been back to our roots, and I have to say it was a fantastic feeling to be on North Carolina soil. Upon arriving in Wrightsville Beach, NC (stop #1-my hometown) we immediately threw our swimsuits on our NYC-pale bodies and ran to the beach. Literally. We managed to get a couple of days in the sun, unfortunately not enough to give me any color to bring back the big city. I'm still eye-blinding white, a trait that I have yet to get used to.
While home, I of course had to stop by shopping hotspot, Beanie + Cecil. My old stomping ground that always manages to get me in a little trouble with my bank account. Ooops. I blame it on the owner, Kellie, who has a fantastic eye and always fills the racks with pieces I just HAVE to HAVE!
Perhaps it was that I hadn't seen ample sun in months, but I felt my current specs just weren't cutting it. Behind the glass of B+C's display case, I spotted the solution to clearly, a massive problem. Beanie was now carrying 3.1 Phillip Lim's sunglasses? Fabulous. Three pairs caught my eye but ultimately the Dwayne left the store, proudly sported on my face. An essence of wayfarer, a personal classic long before it became "the cool shades to have," beautiful matte tortoise shell frames, (for a not-too-harsh-look on this pale blonde), and a metal bar at the cutout bridge that gives it an extra oomph. Clearly a much needed accessory, I was excited that my face had been properly updated to be on point with current trends. Don't worry New Yorkers....they ship!
Sunglasses are a necessary addition to your wardrobe. Changing this facial accessory changes your entire look, which makes it vital to keep this statement piece current. The proper pair pulls everything together. My suggestion for this spring is undoubtedly Phillip Lim's glasses. Each pair is uber cool, sleek, and definitely lust-worthy. With reasonable prices, updated takes on vintage and classic looks, and the cutest damn case for your glasses to call home.... this line is out of control. The only question left is, "how long can NYC hold onto this sunshine?" I have new glasses to wear Mother nature, so please be kind.
