Dressing for work, while remaining comfortable and true to your own style can be difficult. Typical looks tend to lack color and boldness, especially when the weather starts to become cooler. And even though it is not quite cold outside yet, that does not mean our offices can’t get chilly too!
To change this common theme, add some statement sweaters to your office wardrobe. You will not only be comfortable but will also be dressed for the part. Whether you like to stick with neutrals or this season’s statement animal print, Ann Taylor has something for you.
Sunglasses make for great birthday and holiday gifts because they are stylish and ideal for use during winter holidays where we experience extreme temperatures that can dry the eyes. Compared with designer shoes and handbags, sunglasses are an affordable luxury that can be worn all year-round.

But how do you know which pair of sunglasses you should get for your loved one? Shopping for designer sunglasses is certainly not a walk in the park, and there are some style rules you must follow to ensure you are getting the perfect pair that your loved one will love wearing.
To provide some assistance in your sunglasses shopping, we outline some tips on choosing sunglasses to give as a present for friends or family:
Consider their face shape
This is not an easy step because you don’t want your friend or family to get a clue that you are giving them sunglasses as a gift. But this is also one of the vital steps you need to take to ensure that the person will love the sunglasses you will get for them.
Face shapes can help determine which frame style will best fit a person. Does he or she have around, heart-shaped, oval, or square face?
To guide you in choosing sunglasses based on face shape, check out our pointers below:
Oval shape– frames that have a strong bridge and bold patterns. Cat-eye glasses are ideal.
Square shape – rounded and thinner frames to soften the angularity of the face shape
Diamond shape – curved frames, frames that are wider than the cheekbones
Round shape – square or rectangular frames
Tip: If you find that it’s difficult to tell their face shape through sight alone, take a look at your friend’s existing sunglasses frames.
Get familiar with different brands and designers
If you want to get the perfect pair of sunglasses for a friend, consider his or her take on fashion. Do they follow catwalks religiously? Do they have a penchant for a particular brand or maybe an aversion to a certain designer? Take note of their existing wardrobe, and ask them what they can recommend if you were to get a pair for yourself. From there, you will get an idea of which designers they support, and what brand they are likely to have a liking towards.
Think about the person’s favorite celebrity
Often, celebrities get the first dibs on the latest trends in fashion and accessories, so when thinking about the right pair for a friend, it may help to look at their favorite celebrities, what their style is, and what accessories they are donning these days. Chances are, your friend will take inspiration from that and will love to wear a pair of sunglasses similar to the one that their favorite celebrity is rocking.
Consider the purpose of the sunglasses
Sunglasses can be used all year round because they provide protection to the eye. But if you want to make your gift more personalized, consider how the receiver will use it. If he or she loves the outdoors, then you want to get a pair of sunglasses that is durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions. On the other hand, if the receiver is a trendsetter, you may want to get a pair of aviator shades from Ray-Ban and Police. For friends who love high fashion, you can go for designer labels such as Chloe, Miu Miu, and Prada.
Conclusion
There is no single pair of sunglasses that is perfect for gift-giving. It all boils down to the person’s sense of style, face shape, and personality. So make sure to consider these before making a purchase to ensure that the receiver of the gift will be delighted to receive an item that has been carefully chosen based on his or her unique style. Remember that it helps to shop around when buying sunglasses as prices can vary significantly and often buying sunglasses online is the best place for the lowest prices on official designer made sunglasses.

California-based swimwear brand, Baes and Bikinis, showcased their 2019 collection at the Paraiso Tent during Miami Swim Week on Thursday, July 12th, 2018.
Sunny days, refreshers and day parties, sounds like the perfect reason for wearing the prettiest summer outfit! Ann Taylor just launched its summer collection and it consists of all your favorite summer pastels and bolds.
The collection ranges from wide-legged pants to the perfect tea party dress, making it easy to find an outfit while feeling hip and fun wearing it. Each outfit can be accessorized with the perfect gold jewelry and your favorite summer heels or slides to complete the look.
Have a BBQ or Graduation party to attend? See below style selects from Ann Taylor for the perfect occasion.
Jewelry can really make an outfit stand out. Even an outfit that might seem dull, at first glance, can be invigorated and livened by a piece of jewelry chosen accordingly. Of course, there are certain trends that dictate the design of jewels – and if you want to recreate your style, picking the right accessories will allow you to do that!
Accessories grant that specific je ne sais quoi that is so alluring. We really love the way in which a piece of jewelry can add depth and dimension to an outfit. That being said, we’d like to talk about the main trends you’re likely to observe this year.
Without a doubt, statement earrings are a beloved trend. Hence, most jewel makers offer a wide selection of styles – including Brilliant Earth. The best thing about statement earrings is that they catch the eye. In fact, they direct all the attention towards the upper part of the body. You can combine them with classic, timeless pieces such as a white or black dress – you couldn’t possibly go wrong. Plus, you can choose from so many models and designs, meaning that you’re bound to find something that appeals to you.
Another ever-present trend is that of oversized jewelry. In fact, it comes down to this: the bigger the jewelry, the better. The thing is that oversized pieces of jewelry instill confidence – a characteristic that should describe every woman nowadays. Essentially, oversized gold or silver accessories are in sheer contrast with minimalist, dainty clothing. Hence, Brilliant Earth Jewelry diversified their available styles, to make their jewelry selection as varied as possible.
Another trend that is likely to be around for a while now is that of thin, dangling necklaces. Regardless of the type of outfit, you’re wearing, adding a bunch of dainty, elegant necklaces with a simple, timeless design can really add a hint of texture and character. In fact, during the fall, you can attempt to combine them with scarves. Conversely, you could pair a set of dainty necklaces with chunky, metallic chokers, if you’re the adept of unconventional jewelry.
Our list continues with charm-style jewelry. Whether we’re talking about bracelets or necklaces, charm-style jewelry is an ongoing trend that is gaining territory by the day. People who are eager about collecting things will find them infinitely more appealing. And this doesn’t come as a surprise, considering that charm jewelry is the definition of whimsy, not to mention that you can get as creative as you please.
A theme for the fall/winter 2018-2019 season is that of fall leaves. This theme makes one think of nature, or, more specifically, the woods. Nature-inspired fashion pieces always manage to look good, and we definitely appreciate the dainty, ethereal leaves we’ve noticed in some of the upcoming collections.
To conclude, these are some of the main trends you’re likely to observe in the jewelry department. Which of them appeals to you the most and why? Let us know!

South Moon Under opened a few weeks ago at The Summit Birmingham. I learned about this store while living in Baltimore and hosting a styling event at the Harbor East location. If you were a fan of the Scandal Shopping TV Series we featured the retailer to recreate Olivia Pope’s iconic look.
SMU has a variety of stylish items from a few of our favorite brands. Some of those labels include Chinese Laundry, French Connection, Gucci, Nasty Gal, and Lucky Brand. I stopped by the store to see the new merchandise and pick-up a summer accessory. The store manager informed me that each store has only a select amount of key pieces. There’s no worry about having the same outfit as your former classmate.
I enjoyed walking around the store while music played and secretly fell in love with the Uneven Fray Denim jacket. The official store opening is Saturday, June 2, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. If you stop by South Moon Under, tell us what you purchase!
Store Address:
220 Sumit Boulevard
Suite 150
