We were honored when Warby Parker asked us to help introduce their new Spectrum Sun Collection. After having the awesome privilege to view the collection of 9 sunglasses before their launch, we were asked to highlight some of our favorite looks. Dusk & Rubies was up for the challenge, and we say challenge because we coveted every single pair! It was hard to choose a favorite! With colors that reminded us of iced coffees, sunshine, and D.C's cherry blossoms and retro frames that channel the likes of James Dean and Audrey Hepburn, this collection came out just in time to enhance our warmer weather wardrobe!

Fingers crossed that we have finally evaded the snow, but I am going to anticipate a wet Spring. And a wet spring means that NYC turns into a free water park with knee deep puddles awaiting my accidental steps, and taxis whose splash zone puts Shamus' to shame.  But no matter how terrible the wet weather may be, I am just happy it is finally warming up! Plus, I am the type of girl who owns multiple trench coats and I just can't wait to use them.

There was once a time where my sister asked me for fashion advice, and now I am admiring her sense of style. Who says you can't look hot when it is literally freezing outside? Watch as Nicole wears a monochromatic bodycon sweater dress that is both warm, yet doesn't hide her lovely figure!

Ah the 90s- what a clever decade. Made most famous by sitcoms like Seinfeld, Friends, Full House, Boy Meets World, Family Matters, Fresh Prince, and one of my favorites Frasier. Yes, I'm completely serious. Speaking of entertainment, when I think back on my youth, I remember having tons of fake pets to keep me constantly busy. There was my furbie, my multiple tamagotchies, pound puppies, and giga pets. Imagine if they made stickers to place on the back window of your mini van (if you owned a mini van) for all of those lessons in virtual responsibility! 

 I remember jamming and doing the running man to music blaring through my boombox. It wasn't a party unless TLC, Alanis Morisette, Color Me Badd, En Vogue, Barenaked Ladies, Kris Kros, 2pac, and Red Hot Chili Peppers were invited! While I agree this is a very eclectic mix of music, I want to remind you this was the 90s man. So as another year comes to a close, and our fashion trends come and go let us get a taste of what is to come...or repeat. The 90's grunge look is back, and here is how we styled it with a modern twist.

I am by no means a makeup artist, but I do enjoy playing around with color, and having fun creating different looks. When I was younger I loved playing dress up, and I think that I never grew up, because here I am years later still playing. I create outfits, jewelry and make-up looks to shoot for my jewelry campaigns. Kristin, Nicole, Alyssa (my models, family, and best friends) and I always dreamt of what it would be like to wake up in the morning and walk our way right over to our own private makeup artist, and say, "So, what look shall we try today?"
Here are some of my favorite summer eye makeup looks that we tried over the weekend:

The gold and yellow tones really play up Kristin's blue eyes.


Nicole's tan skin and green eyes are truly played up with a silver and grey cream shadow.

 Purple is a universal color looking great on everyone, and for every eye color, but purple really accentuates hazel eyes. I wanted to try this look, because I wouldn't normally have worn pink as the brow bone highlight, but for this summer look it was a lot of fun!

Alyssa has the prettiest eye color out of all of us in my opinion. She has a green/ blue/ grey (although she will never admit it) Her light eye color looked so pretty in blended pinks and gold!

Thanks for still playing dress up with me!
