As I get older it seems like time is just going by faster. So before we know it, Summer will be here! I always like looking at the different Summer accessories designers come up with and I think I’ve found the most unique looking towel I’ve ever seen!

The ONE by Maslin “Zebra” Hide Towel has got to be the coolest towel I’ve ever seen. At first glance, it looks like it would be like any ordinary towel but when you open it up it looks like well, Zebra skin. Best part about it, is that it’s not Zebra skin only emulated to look like a hide.

Can you imagine going to the pool and pulling out a towel like this? When people walk by you, you know they would automatically thing they’ve never seen a towel shaped like that! Pretty cool if you ask me! I also love that it comes with a detachable leather harness, which makes it a whole lot easier to carry a bulky towel around.

The “Zebra” Hide Towel is definitely an awesome Summer accessory to own, it’s just going to cost you!

You can purchase the ONE by Maslin “Zebra” Hide Towel at Shop Bop for $225.

Marc Jacobs always pulls me in with his accessories. Don’t get me wrong, I like his handbags but I love his accessories. He always designs weird and quirky things we don’t see very often. Right now, I’m loving his “Zip It” Pull Draped Earrings. They’re stylish, fun and definitely unique.

I have an obsession with anything with a zipper. I don’t know why but I love it. At the moment, I have bags, shoe, jewelry and even clothes that feature zippers. It’s always been something that catches my eye.

What I love about the “Zip It” Earrings is that they literally look like they are draped around your ears! I would personally wear these earrings in the evening especially if I’m wearing something on the edgy side. Obviously these wouldn’t look good paired up with a bright outfit but if you are sporting something black and fierce, rock these babies out!

Fun, edgy and all at a good price! I think I need these!

As I always state, my closet is full of black and white options. I do have some color in it but not very much. If Stacy London saw my closet, she’d probably yell at me, call me names and then tell me I need to be on “What Not to Wear”. Can’t blame her, I always look classy but I suppose the colors are kind of bland. However, I always like my shoes to match whatever I’m wearing.

The Alexander Wang “Eded” Haircalf Platform Pumps would compliment any outfit I wear. The dalmatian print is fun and it’s not everyday you see a black and white spotted heel. We see leopard, snake and alligator prints but hardly ever anything dalmatian styled.

I consider these to be statement shoes and I most likely wouldn’t wear them everyday due to the “hair”. If I was going to an event, party or out for the evening I would definitely sport these around town. Wearing these on a daily basis would’t be practical, because of the fear of them getting dirty so easily! These pumps are a fun shoe to add to any collection though! That’s for sure!

The cold weather has arrived all over the nation and it’s time to bring out our fashionable cold weather accessories. One accessory I saw on Shop Bop that caught my eye was the Eugenia Kim “Tara” Turban. I would never think to wear a Turban when it’s cold out, but I like the idea! I mean let’s face it, it’s not everyday we see someone wearing a turban down the street and it can bring some uniqueness to your cold weather wardrobe.

I love wearing hats especially ones that cover my ears. Whenever I’m in the extreme cold, like in New York City, my ears get so cold that sometimes I can’t even feel them! It’s not easy to find a hat, besides a beanie, that covers your ears and I can’t stand ear muffs! Ear muffs make me itch and drive me absolutely crazy. If a turban can keep my ears warm and stop them from turning into ice, I’m all for it! Cute!

You can purchase the Eugenia Kim “Tara” Turban at Shop Bop for $99.

I love cherries. Whether it be the actual fruit or featured on fashionable accessories, I love them! I once heard a random lady say, “Cherries have the best outfit out of all of the fruits”, and I couldn’t agree more! They’re pretty, cute and quite delicious too!

The Juicy Couture Cherry Earrings are absolutely adorable and literally look like you have a couple of cherries hanging from your ears. They’re stunning but I think they would of looked a lot cuter if Juicy Couture had the stem in green crystals and the cherries in red crystals! Wouldn’t it be fun if they made them look slightly real?

I personally think I would wear these earrings during the evening. They have quite a bit of “bling” to them which would shine and look better at night. Would be cute to slip these on for a date or a night out on the town with the girls.

Overall, the “Cherry” drops are unique and worth every penny! I love them!

When it comes to fashion, I love pretty much anything that comes in black and white. I kid you not when I say, my closet is full of black and white clothes. Some people consider only wearing black and white to be gothic but I highly disagree. I always dress classy and never look half dead or miserable.

Needless to say, the Giuseppe Zanotti “Striped” Sling Back Pumps are absolutely gorgeous and belong in my collection. They would literally match 99% of anything I wear and if I wasn’t planning a move to California these babies would be charged on my credit card in a heart beat.

I’m not sure how I feel about the leopard print piping and snake-embossed leather covered heel. To me, it seems odd for two animal prints to be paired with a stunning black and white canvas but I overall I love the shoe. I have plenty of black and white striped shirts and these pumps would be an amazing match for them. A girl can dream!

You can purchase the Giuseppe Zanotti “Striped” Sling Back Pumps at Shop Bop for $750.

I love statement shoes. Don’t get me wrong, I love a beautiful outfit but to me a gorgeous pair of shoes can really finish an outfit. To me, Alexander McQueen always has the ultimate statement shoes. The McQueen brand always has unique, eye catching shoes that instantly grab your attention.

The Alexander McQueen Peep Toe “Filigree” Skull Pump is a prime example of a stunning evening statement shoe. This is the type of shoe that no matter when you wear it, at least one person is going to make a comment.

The shoe is gorgeous, but let’s be honest what makes the shoe so fabulous is the over sized skull. These pumps would look amazing with any simple outfit especially a little black dress. When a shoe is drop dead gorgeous you always want to make sure your outfit is minimal so that it can’t take any limelight away from your feet.

From the studs to the skull the “Filigree” is beautiful! The price scares me a bit but I believe them to be worth every penny. How about you?

You can purchase the Alexander McQueen Peep Toe “Filigree” Skull Pump at Zappos for $1,275.

Some women love clothes, others like handbags but I love shoes. I’m a firm believer in the statement that a woman can never have enough shoes. I haven’t bought a pair of shoes in quite some time but that doesn’t mean I don’t love looking at styles I’ve never seen before. I’ve never seen the MICHAEL Michael Kors “Faye” Wedges before and I’m already in love. My back isn’t in the best shape, due to wearing heels for over 10 years now, so whenever I see a pair of heels I’d wear I add them to my wishlist.

Of course I love that the “Faye” is available in black leather with gold hardware but I also love that the actual wedge has some sparkle to it! Makes the shoe shine a bit for those hot Summer nights. These shoes would add some fun to a pair of skinny jeans, jeggings or even leggings.

Overall, the “Faye” is cute and stylish! I love them!
