The Perfect...Frame

The Fillmore Frames from Warby Parker



These "Fillmore" frames are classically designed for small to medium sized faces like mine. They incorporate a bold keyhole bridge, thick acetate and Warby Parker’s signature plaque. I also love their Virtual Try-On Tool.  $95 warbyparker.com

For every pair of glasses sold, Warby Parker will provide one to someone in need.  Nice!

The Perfect...Neck

The rag & bone Plaid Scarf


I'm a big fan of the scarf.  I think it is because I always feel cozy wearing one.  It's like I am still in the comfort of my own bed. The rag & bone Plaid Scarf, made from 100% virgin wool, is lightweight enough for the warmer seasons and “cozy” enough to keep out the cold.  $125 online at rag-bone.com
