I recently came across Lookmatic and fell in love with so many of their frame styles. Chic prescription glasses and sunglasses for under $100? Yes, please! Plus, they're all on sale for $62 until March 1st.

JEWELRY CRUSH: JENNY BIRD | F/W 2013

Crushing on all these statement pieces from Jenny Bird. My favorites have to be the RiRi collar necklace and basically all of the chain bracelets- they stack together so perfectly. Speaking of perfect, how great does the jewelry look with all the black basics in the lookbook?!
