Trends To Try

The fuzzy clutch trend is a favorite of ours because it’s a simple way to make your look standout. This season, designer Harbison’s mink clutch is killing it! Just keep your look paired-down when partnering this clutch with it.

His & Hers

Kim and Kanye have made conscious coupling for clothing, a real thing. This time around it’s about your cooler rendition of his style versus literally copying that makes the look more chic than cheesy.

Sparkly Embellishments

Sparkly embellishments are not only for the tween set this season. Embellished jeans, jackets and even Birkenstocks have found a way to make basic items anything but boring.
