Urban Style

SUNGLASSES! Do you have a million pairs? I do. Okay, maybe not a million but I just counted twelve pairs. If I could find my RayBan Wayfarers, from about 20 years ago that are back in style, it would be 13. Those things are in a box somewhere...I know it! Go count your glasses right now...I need to know how many pairs you have!

I think sunglasses are those things we can never have enough of, hence Stunner of the Month. For $9 a month (including shipping) you will get a fun new pair of glasses every month until you cancel. No obligation, no hidden fees, no nothing that will drive you nuts! You just wait for them to arrive in your mailbox! I think these would be such a fun gift for a teenager, or just a fun friend. They are styles that go well on most faces. Remember...you don't have to commit to a year or anything! You could just give a 3 month gift! Fun! Did I say fun enough???

See? These are cute and FUN....


And these are cute and fun...


I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea! Remember that if you get them and they are not your style you can stick them in a bag and give them as a gift to someone who would!

Urban Style...inspired by Jackie.

Today's inspiration comes from this woman...


Every picture that I see of Jackie could have been taken today. Her style was timeless, beautiful, elegant, and classic. We could wear any of her outfits today. Now that, my friends, is perfect style!

So we'll begin with this dress. It's from Ann Taylor and is $148 plus another 30% off right now. The brings it down to about a hundred dollars. I'd say that's darn good considering it's a dress you could wear forever.


For shoes we're going to go with a shorter wedge heel with an open toe. I found these on Amazon for $89.  I love adding just a little bit of leopard to the outfit so it's not too overdone. Leopard print is a timeless classic too...don't be afraid to wear it!


We're going to keep the earrings really simple and just go with a freshwater pearl earring from Overstock. They run about $34. Again, pearls are CLASSIC. Are you sensing a theme here?


Last, let's not forget these. They're pretty much Jackie's signature style. These just happen to be from RayBan and run about $140. Again, you will where them forever so don't be afraid to spend this on them. 


Now go and buy these things, or find some good reproductions of them and get your Jackie on!
