Cover up with a Classic Cargo Jacket (thefind Guest Post)

by

From our friends at thefind.com

An essential piece for anyone’s wardrobe is the classic army green cargo jacket. For those of us in cities like San Francisco, where the weather is unpredictable even in the summer, a cargo jacket makes the perfect cover up for lightweight summer dresses, tops, and shorts. Plus, the neutral color of army green gives the right splash of masculine cool which no denim jacket or pashmina can compare to. It’s also an amazing transition piece, pairing effortlessly from skirts to skinny jeans when the weather begins to cool down for autumn. This season, they’re switching up the classic with a few new embellishments to add a little vigor to the military-inspired staple. Here are three super fun fits for anyone that wants to add a little bit of army freshness to to their flirty and fall-ready frocks: Harlow Army Cargo Jacket, Gap Womens Army Cargo jacket, and the Stem Cargo jacket.

Isn’t It About Time You Eyefly?

by


Not to get too “Woe is me” on you but I have some pretty significant, serious eye issues that could be debilitating if not properly monitored. Needless to say, I have no choice regarding glasses; I’ve got to wear them, and even then my vision is still far from perfect. Thanks to cutting out the middle man via amazing online eyeglass sites, I’m able to embrace this in the only way I know best: with style. I’ve developed quite the eyewear collection, and couldn’t do it without finding amazing prices for glasses online, with the latest site that I am loving called Eyefly.com.

Any frame, WITH prescription lenses cost just $99, and that includes RX sunnies too! A cool feature includes the VIRTUAL TRY-ON: you can download a photo of your face, then “try on” your favorite styles, with an option to post to Facebook and poll your friends for which to buy. Your lens is popped into the frames in Brooklyn, and if you’re unhappy you can return or exchange within 30 days. Sounds like a pretty good deal right? Throw your apprehensions out the window about ordering glasses online; the savings are most certainly worth trying it out. With 41 frames to currently choose from, your bound to find one for you. After all, Eyefly is brought to you by the people that know great designer duds at an exceptional value – Bluefly.com!

And FYI, I’m a plastic frame kind of gal, so mine (compliments of Eyefly) is the Blackburn Cove style in olive gradient, which really lets my baby blues shine.

One of my favorite designers, Nicole Miller, has collaborated with the nonprofit Indego Africa to create a vibrant collection of fair-trade shorts and sarongs to complement the existing line of textile bangles and woven bracelets. If you’ve never heard of Indego Africa, it’s best described as a  social enterprise that works with over 250 female artisans in Rwanda, Africa on a fair trade basis to help them establish business with high-end retailers and brands worldwide. The exclusive Nicole Miller limited edition collab items can be purchased online at www.nicolemiller.com and at the Nicole Miller Miami boutique (656 Collins Avenue Miami Beach, FL), retail from $25-$65, with 15% of the proceeds going directly to Indego Africa.

8 Under $20: Kohl’s (CollegeCandy.com Guest Post)

by

One of my favorite stores to shop for cute clothes is Kohl’s. One reason I love it so much is because it’s always been there for me. So many times I’ve needed something last minute, like a pair of slacks for a job interview or the perfect pair of shoes for an outfit, and I can find the perfect solution almost instantly at Kohl’s, while other stores didn’t have anything. On top of all that, I love that mostly everything is pretty affordable — especially when there’s a great sale (and there’s almost always some kind of sale going on). Check out these great picks from Kohl’s for under $20! View the rest of the picks under $20 by clicking here and heading to CollegeCandy!
