Warby Parker X Kill Screen

Warby Parker and Kill Screen have paired up to launch a video game online and a pair of limited-edition eyeglasses!

Warby Parker’s first-ever—and totally free—video game can be played here. With the help of Highline Games, Warby Parker and Kill Screen designed a physics-based matching game. The object of the game is to match and clear groups of like-colored balls in a bowl. It is a pretty easy game and it is entertaining. I didn't want to stop, it is a great game to play if you are bored at work or in class! 

The limited-edition glasses, Burke in Glacier Grey, are crafted from premium cellulose acetate and equipped with lenses that have anti-scratch and anti-reflective coatings—which conveniently reduce the glare from screens.

These glasses are great for the person that likes to be different! You aren't going to see a lot of people wearing clear glasses, so these will be awesome because you will stand out!

I wear my glasses when I need a break from my contacts. These new clear Warby Parker glasses would be a fun change from my dark ones. People don't realize that glasses are very stylish. I will pick a different outfit out solely if I'm wearing my glasses because it will change the whole vibe.

The Burke glasses in Glacier Grey will go with every outfit because they are a matted clear! You almost can't tell that you are even wearing glasses. I love these because they are a classic square frame which is the best-selling frame on the Warby Parker website.

I have come up with a day to night look you could wear with the Burke glasses!

DAY LOOK

With this work outfit I went with a fun, playful look. I paired a windowpane skirt with a chambray shirt. Then, I accessorized with the Burke glasses, a statement necklace and fuchsia pink pumps! I would wear the shirt tucked into the skirt and buttoned all the way up with the necklace under the collar.

NIGHT LOOK

I went a little more edgy for this look and paired the same chambray shirt with black ripped jeans. Then, I accessorized with the Burke glasses, a choker and these amazing ankle booties. I would just tuck in the front part of the shirt, unbutton the first couple buttons and cuff the jeans for this look.  I think this outfit would be so cute for a girls night out or date night!

Warby Parker was started to create an alternative because the eyewear industry used to be dominated by a single company that was able to keep prices artificially high. Warby Parker designs glasses in-house and engages with customers directly. They are able to provide higher-quality and better-looking prescription eyewear at a fraction of the going price.

Warby Parker also offers a at home try-on figure. All you do is pick 5 frames and they will mail them to you for free. Try them out for 5 days and see which ones you like. Buy the ones you like online, sent back the 5 frames and Warby Parker will send you a fresh pair of your favorite glasses. 

Go check out the Burke glasses in Glacier Grey and have fun playing their new video game, Worbs!

If you do try the glasses, I want to see pictures!

Running on a Budget

I know everyone has had the thought, "If I buy cute workout clothes, then I will go to the gym more." But, the problem is you can't walk into Lululemon or Nike without dropping $100 dollars. If you are like me you don't have that kind of money to spent on clothes that you are just going to sweat in. So, my solution is to shop at TJMaxx or Marshalls.

My top and leggings are both from TJMaxx and the total was $28 dollars!

Hopefully, I helped you save a few bucks!

I love shopping at TJMaxx, you never know what you will find.

There are always unique things!

Have a great day,

Kara

Accessorizing Your Room: State Decor

Bringing back the little series I did last summer, Accessorizing your Room for another DIY for your wall or drawer. State decor to represent where you are from!

Supplies you will need:

Canvas

A print out of your state and where your town is located

Watercolor Paint, Paper, and Brush

Newspaper

Cup of Water

Mod Podge 

Sponge Brush

Ruler

Scissors

Pencil

Step 1:
Start painting the whole page with analogous colors: The colors located close together on a color wheel. This way the colors can easily blend together. The more water you add, the more the colors will look faded. The painting will look a little different once it starts to dry so, you can always add more layers until you love it. Here is the process of my watercolor painting!

 

Step 2:
Cut out the outline of your state but keep the inside part. Also, cut out the heart where your town is located.


Step 3:

Trace the outline of your state with a pencil on your dry watercolor painting and cut it out. Notice that I painted with the paper horizontally but ended up liking the colors vertically. So, don't be afraid to try all different angles with your outline to see what you like best. 

Step 4:
Then, trace the heart on the pink part of the paper and cut it out. Place the inside part of the state on top of the cut out watercolor, so you can get the right placement of where your town is located.

Step 5:

Mod Podge the heart down first and let it dry. Then, Mod Podge the whole state down onto the canvas. And you are done!!

Hope this DIY will help change up your wall.
If you have lived in multiple different states you could make them all and line them up across your wall! I think that could be so cute to have each state be a different color.

I would love to see your pictures if you do make your state decor! Tweet me @fashionx16

Happy Crafting,

Dreaming of Coachella

While everyone is actually at Coachella, I'm laying in my bed dreaming of wearing a flower crown and dancing to awesome music. 

I had a little photoshoot pretending that I was at Coachella! Here is what I would wear if I could go.

Flower Crown / Top / Jeans / Sandals

I feel like a flower princess with this crown on!
I hope I have a reason to wear it again :)

Happy Spring

Styling: Day to Night Look

Today, I am going to show you how to take simple key items from a day to night look. In both outfits I have on the same floppy hat, monogrammed necklace and black booties. Floppy hats are very popular for the fall and a super cute accessory.

For the day look: It is a great outfit to go out and grab coffee with your bestie. It's cute and comfortable!

Halloweekend 2015

This year, I went out every night of Halloween weekend. Needless to say that Sunday was sleeping all day, I was so tired. My costumes were very easy and only consist of three keys items or less. 

THURSDAY NIGHT 

I was Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby

All you need is a sparkly/ Gatsby inspired dress, pearls and a head piece. 

FRIDAY NIGHT 

I was Batman 

This costume was the easiest out of all three because I just wore my batman shirt, a black skirt and I happened to have a batman bow from cheerleading. But, you can get a batman mask and/or wear leather pants. 

SATURDAY NIGHT 

I was an Ice Queen 

This was my favorite costume, I had fun with the makeup. I pretty much put white all over my face. Wore a white shirt with safe pined snowflakes on my boobs, a blue/sliver tutu and an ice looking crown. I also made my ice wand out of tin foil and taped snowflakes at the top. 

Enjoyed you had a great Halloween!

Interning at StyleWeek Northeast

             This past week I worked as an intern at StyleWeek. StyleWeek is the Northeast’s fashion week that will help up and coming designers to connect with the community, buyers and press in the industry.  I loved being part of the StyleWeek team I was honored that they picked me to be one of their interns.

           I was part of the front of house interns, which consists of checking everyone in, finding what seat they are and putting their waistband on.  It was pretty cool because after the first two days we started to remember the people’s names that came everyday. My favorite part was seeing what all of the guests were wearing. Some went for a classic look while others went all out for a more extreme look.
           After everyone was signed up we were able to go over and watch all of the shows. It was a great experience because some nights we were able to fill in the empty front row seats and watch from the seats instead of standing in the back. This was my first real fashion show experience and I loved every second of it. There were some designers that I loved and wished that I had the money to go out and buy all there clothes. Than there were some designers that just weren’t my taste. The designers I loved were Carissa Lynn Designs, Clothes Horse Clothing by Elden XO and Stetkiewicz by Amy Stetkiewicz.

            Over all, I had a super busy and stressful week but it was worth it because I meet so many amazing people and made some great connections with the StyleWeek staff!

              Here are some pictures I took throughout the week. There were three designers that showed there collections each night and it went on for 5 days. 

Monday:

Antwan Byrd for Debricchio
