Haute Eyewear

A-Morir by Kerin Rose Sunglasses with Pearls $394.78, Two Tone $303.68,
Lace Covered $334.05, with Chains $379.60.

One word, 'Gaga', Lady Gaga that is. Kerin Rose is the go-to eyewear designer among music's biggest names like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Adam Lambert to name a few. A-Morir was founded in 2008 and in a short time gained an A-list following. Her edgy and unconventional designs redefined a must-have accessory.

The sunglasses don't come cheap (a pair averaging at $300), but you are paying for quality. Each design lives up to A-Morir's point of view... "by definition accessories are supplemental; there is no need to be practical. so go big. go hard, and go far."

DLC Brooklyn Vintage Painted Leather Necklace

DLC Brooklyn Sun Stone Vintage Painted Necklace $172.00 ecotobi

Another big trend this summer is tribal inspired pieces. From prints and patterns on apparel to unique indigenous materials on accessories. The best way to incorporate this trend to any look are subtle touches. Tribal inspired jewelry adds that global chic to any ensemble. Take it up a notch with eco-friendly pieces. One of my favorite designs are from DLC Brooklyn.

Designed by Susan Domelsmith, you can find understated yet elegant designs made with reworked vintage jewelry mixed with other materials like bamboo and leather. I particularly love the uniqueness of each piece from their collection. This Vintage Painted Necklace can be worn with both casual and formal looks. And definitely would look sexy paired with swimwear.

This bag is from Derek Lam's latest accessory collection. I love the shape, unique strap and distressed look of the leather. The design is very versatile. Whether you're wearing a dress or denim jeans, this bag will finish off your look, oh so fabulously.

Alex and Ani Cocktail Rings

Alex and Ani Gin&Tonic Ring, 20th Century Ring, Waterloo Ring $68.00 each

Whether you're experimenting or trying out new things in taking your personal style up a notch, it can be challenging and intimidating. This is what exactly one of my friend is experiencing. She is going through her 'I wear only black' phase. But lately she told me that she's ready to add some color in her wardrobe. Hallelujah! But she is not about to wear a multicolored floral dress.

I advised her to take it one step at a time and start her transformation in the accessories department. So, I had the lovely task of finding her stylish, trendy yet affordable flair. I showed her these Alex and Ani Cocktail Rings which all fit the bill. And earth-friendly too!

The funny thing was when she saw them, she said 'These are fabulous they go with everything I have'. And I replied, 'Sweetie, almost everything go with black'. Then she called me a b***ch and I called her a bigger b***ch, we hugged went to Starbucks and had a jolly gay ole' time.
