No doubt about it, Kate Upton looks absolutely stunning on the cover of Elle Magazine. After we were done gazing at the cover for a good 10 minutes, we couldn't help but notice her oversize necklaces...and how you can easily recreate this look with our selection of Shy by Sydney Evan necklaces! A scaled-down version that's great for everyday, these necklaces, bracelets and rings looks great alone or layered like Kate wears hers. 

Which word pictured is your fave? Tons more of the line in store and online, so check it out! 

Oh, and how can we forget that red hot dress? We've got a sweet and flirty dress from Rebecca Taylor in the store in the perfect shade of poppy red. Get the dress, get some necklaces, and practice your sultry stare....and voila, Kate Upton's got herself some competition!

An Outfit Essential For Chic French Girls (And Those That Want To Look Like One)

We just came across a fab French style blog called Le blog de Betty and holy chicness....girl looks amazing in her Thierry Lasry sunnies! We love all the styling directions she takes her Thierry's in - sleek and sophisticated, fun but edgy, boho chic and cool-kid vintage. Proof that these go with every outfit you can dream up!

If you've got to get your hands on a pair (and you know you do), we've got a great selection to choose from. Still on the fence about making a pair yours? Let's have a chat about why you need your very own pair of Thierry Lasry sunglasses.

1. Yes, they are pricey but think about how often you'll wear them (that would be everyday....seriously). A must-have investment piece that you'll wear year-round.

2. The classic shape never goes out of style. No regrets about them looking dated in a season or two.

3. Universally flattering. We have seen people of all shapes and sizes try these beauties on, and they look good on every single person. They are magical like that.

5. Each pair is handmade in France. These aren't your typical el cheapo sunglasses. The quality of craftsmanship is evident right from the get go - the sunglasses are sturdy, well made, and come with a hard case and printed protective fabric sleeve so nothing comes between you and your flawless Thierrys.

4. Accessories make or break the outfit. Luxe little details like a high-quality pair of sunglasses, a rich leather bag, or a great pair of shoes instantly make a big impact, and pair well with classics or less expensive trendier items. 

5. Tons of celebs like Rihanna, Anne Hathaway, Nicole Richie and Dita Von Teese are fans of the line. Plus, cool French girls with impeccable style like Betty are wearing them. Enough said.

The epitome of the perfect (sexy) LBD in faux leather from Velvet.

As if the pattern wasn't cool enough, the button back detail on this 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent blouse takes it to the next level.

Velvet, you outdid yourselves with this faux leather and ponte blend jacket.

Everyone needs a lightweight layering sweater in a cool camel color. This Rebecca Taylor one is perfect.

Like we said, leather is big for fall. Patterned leather panels on this Cynthia Vincent dress are simple, sweet and unexpected.

We were instantly smitten with this adorable zebra print top from Alice + Olivia.

Swooning over this luxe coat from Cynthia Vincent.

A cozy but light henley from Vince; Colorful lightweight cotton polos from Alternative Apparel

If butter could be spun into fabric, this is what this super-comfortable Joe's Jeans shirt would be made of.
