Obsession: Tortoise

tortoise

I’ve always had a soft spot for tortoiseshell accessories… but lately there has been so many gorgeous pieces that I can’t stop ogling!  Here are a few of my favorites…

Chunky Collar // Belt (amazing over a little black dress) // Shades (on my wish list) // Bird Necklace // iPhone Case // Barette  // Studs // Crystal Rimmed Studs // Gold Bracelet // Cuff // Hair Clips // Highball Glasses (so stinking cool!)

    After a bit of trial and error, I’ve found that tortoise colored shades are more flattering with my skin and hair. We’re all black is a little harsh on me!

    LOVE tortoise this spring! I tried on those sunglasses at the Oliver Peoples store in Soho, but ended up going with a more-square shaped Paul Smith pair (still in a tortoise pattern of course!)
