Fashion Style: Cowboy

 
I've got my own horse!

 

 
Cowboy fashion style really never goes out of style. Just spice up your wardrobe with nice boots, faded jeans or shorts, checkered polo shirts, thick leather belts and cowboy hat and you're good to go. If you're a true country and cowboy girl, don't forget to dress up your fave horse and update yourhorse equipment from time to time.

You also don’t need to be in a country to dress up something like this as this attire can be perfect if you want to attract some attention or just want to be hip and cool.

Warby Parker: A New Concept in Prescription Eyewear

I’ve been wearing my prescription reading glasses for a while now since I’m not able to read clearly when I’m texting, reading a book and using my laptop. Going to an eye doctor is sometimes daunting especially when you have no such budget to pay for their professional fee and for prescription glasses that they’ll provide for you. Sometimes I’m pretty stunned to know that prices of prescription glasses increased dramatically particularly if you choose branded eye frames.


In this case, people with financial difficulties opted not to visit their doctor and just let their vision become worst. These days, there are billions of people who can’t even afford to have their eye checked by their ophthalmologist and more so to buy prescription glasses. This is quite heart-rending to know.


I’m surprised and happy to know that there are still stores that sells prescription glasses as low at $95 without sacrificing the quality of the product. Warby Parker is one of those stores who are not only selling affordable designer frames but they are stylish and trendy as well. I’m further awed with their mission to give something to charity because for every pair of glasses that they sold, they give one pair to someone who are in need in many developing countries.


 Why opt for very expensive branded prescription glasses when you can have quality affordable glasses?

It’s also very helpful for me to browse around the store even if I’m not going to shop for I can see the latest trends and find another item that I can put on my wish list. I know that sale will come by so it’s also great for all shopaholics like me to grab that steal.

Here are just some of the items that caught my attention and if my budget will be right on track once again; these items definitely will go on my shopping cart. For now, they are just on my wish list.

Handmade Necklace for a Friend

A friend of mine who migrated in the US for a year already loves jewelry and I was thinking of sending her a nice one even if there is no occasion. I can quickly buy her nice bracelets with crystals or pearls in Greenhills but I’m afraid that it would cost so much when I mail it to her. So, I immediately thought of ETSY.com where I bought bracelet for another friend in SG.

I hurriedly went to the site and here are some of my picks:
