Spotted in Spots

How was everyone's weekend?  It has been a few busy weeks in a row for me now, and I'm in need of a little break!  Think I'm headed to Maine for the weekend and the timing couldn't be more perfect... 

How do you feel about this dress?  I was hesitant because I felt it made me look too boxy and 'full' in the waistline.  But given the short length paired with the arched cut at the waist, I suppose it works.  I kept it very simple with my shoes and accessories.  You know I love an all black and white look!

My Current Brand Obsession

I have a major brand crush on English Factory and Endless Rose these days.  From a reachable price point to on-trend styles, these 2 brands fit the bill.  You'll see many flared sleeves and tassel details below, many of which will be perfect to add to your Spring wishlist.  Or shop some of the tiered sleeve and faux choker neck sweaters to finish out your Winter wardrobe.  I promise you will not be disappointed with the quality of these 2 brands.  Happy Shopping!

Avoiding Digital Eye Fatigue // with Pixel Eyewear

Leopard is the new neutral.  Am I right ladies??

I started my new job 4 weeks ago now.  I have to admit the first few weeks were tough.  I found myself exhausted half way through the work week, which was totally unlike me.  My eyes were burning and that exhausted feeling just consumed me.  Who knows if the adjustment of my new schedule and increased screen time were to blame.  Admittedly, I spend a good portion of my days 'in the glow', between Instagram and Facebook, checking emails and blogging at home...  But in this digital age we live, theres really no avoiding it.  

The timing couldn't have been more perfect when Pixel Eyewear reached out and asked me to try their glasses.  If you haven't heard of Pixel Eyewear, they've been featured in Vogue and Inc.com.  The lens are designed with a slightly yellow tint which helps to block some of the strong, artificial blue lights gleaming from computer and device screens that our eyes aren't really meant to handle. Their frames are super stylish, and available at a great price point!  I knew it could only help my tired eye situation.  I picked the Ventus and Omni styles, and they've been fantastic.  Plus, it's fun to wear glasses without a prescription :)  I try to wear my Pixels at least a few hours a day while I'm at my computer or on my iPad.  I've found I'm less tired at that mid-afternoon slump.  I've also tried to make other adjustments like going to bed earlier (I'm a night owl), drinking less coffee and exercising at least 4-5 days a week.

If you suffer from digital eye fatigue like me, you should get yourself a pair.  For a limited time, you can receive $5 your first pair with code: 'kristy5'.  See all the styles Pixel Eyewear has to offer here.   I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
