Novembeard: Show your support with style!


Hello lovelies! I'm sure by now you've all heard of, or seen, the trend where during the winter months men don't shave their beards to raise awareness for testicular cancer. At least, it started out that way, and now it's become very popular with not just men, but with accessories too. That's right, facial hair, more importantly mustaches, are popular, and have been seen in stores around the country. In honor of Octobeard, Novembeard, Decembeard, and Januhairy (Yes, those are the hairy names for the winter months when men don't shave) I have brought some of the cutest, and most wearable accessories from the web to show your support too, for cancer AND facial hair.


Pistachio has been very popular this year, but just because it's winter doesn't mean you have to put away your bright colors. There's nothing prettier than a bright pop of color against the neutral winter palettes. 



Love cuffs and bangles? Throw on this with your outfit and a small ring or two and that's all the jewelry you'll need with this statement cuff.



Want a bag with a mustache that doesn't scream Hot Topic? This bag is a great way to carry around what you need to and still look like an adult. The color a lovely way to break up the black-on-white go-to for winter months, and the gold mustache adds just the right amount of attitude.



Have a little bit more leeway at work with your wardrobe? Show off your fun and feminine side with this work-appropriate yet statement-making blouse. Since it's a bolder print, you don't need too much jewelry, and taking a cue from the model, black pants or a leather skater skirt would be a great way to wear this piece.



This ring can be that special piece that's the perfect addition to a statement dress, or the perfect add-on to a basic pants + tee combo that adds flair in a ladylike way.



Looking for a polished and tapered way to wear the mustache trend without being too obvious? These pants are work appropriate yet still fun. Wear them with statement heels and a sexy top for a date, or pair it with a fun printed blouse for a night out with the girls.

The Dog Walk


Hello lovelies! I recently came across quite possibly the cutest and cuddliest collaboration in designer history: Ralph Lauren has partnered with the ASPCA and created Ralph Lauren's first ever dog fashion show. 10% of how much is sold of the accessories shown in their adorable video will go to the ASPCA. The film itself is adorable, and I'm really happy that they showed a wide variety of dog breeds: Pit Bulls, Terriers, Dachshunds, mixed breeds, so many adorable faces smiled and panted at the camera and walked by wearing gorgeous accessories we all can drool over. 

 I hope this isn't the last for Ralph Lauren or the industry. 


A few pictures from behind the scenes:
