Congratulations!
I don’t know about you; but when I go to the store and I see a cool pair of glasses or sunglasses, I have to try them on and style and profile. Smartbuyglasses have a “Try It On” download application that allows me to virtually try on the glasses. You will need to have a webcam on your computer for the application to see your face. Once you download the application from the site, a window comes up and you have to position your face in the oval window. It will tell you if you are in the right spot. Once you are positioned right, you can try on eyeglasses to my hearts content and take pictures to see how you look in them afterwards.
The glasses attach to your face once you select your frames. The amazing thing is that you move your face from left to right and the glasses move with you. I can also make the frames larger or smaller to coincide with my face shape.
My hubby and I took a couple of sample pictures of some frames we like.
So realistic.
My hubby in some cool frames
Very cool.
I like the frames hubby had on too.
My hubby and I had a lot of fun trying on the sunglasses and shades from Smartbuyglasses. If you get a chance, check out the site, download the application and try on the really neat glasses and experience a very unique experience.

Empowering women is an important cause for me. A great company, MarketPlace Handwork of India, contacted me with an opportunity.
MarketPlace Handwork of India is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing economic opportunities for women artisans in India, and empowering them to bring about changes in their lives, the lives of their families, and their communities.
Since MarketPlace began in 1986, women who were formerly unemployed, “unemployable” or desperately underemployed have been building new lives around rewarding work, educational opportunities and social support. Over this period, MarketPlace has developed, refined and expanded its model of supported self-help, which involves the artisans directly at all levels of decision-making as they form and manage their own independent cooperatives.
I was blessed with the opportunity to try one of their beautiful creations. I chose this lovely Irla Dress in black and white, made by Nirmaan. It makes me feel good and special to wear a handcrafted garment. The picture below is the image from their website and how the dress was styled with leggings. I want to show you how I rocked this chic dress.
Irla Dress, Black, White
I wanted to style this dress in a way that would be uniquely me. So I folded the dress in front and added a thick black Anne Klein belt and Markon black wedges. It is the same dress; but with a totally different look.
Irla Dress w belt and black wedges
This look just clicked for work and the cotton is so soft.
I added a mulit-coloredpaper wood necklace and Aerosoles red wedges to add a pop of color. LOVE IT!
Irla Dress
I added my bordeaux Dooney and Bourke bag to finish the look. My doggie, Vinny has to always get in the picture.
Side view of dress
By adding the belt it made the dress have the appearance of dolman sleeves. Transforming this dress is such a chameleon effect. My doggie Gio making an appearance.
Perfect!
I truly had so much fun styling this dress. I have a few ideas up my sleeve for this dress in the future. Stay tuned!

A big shout out to Jackie Clark with the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance for writing such a wonderful and inspiring message to all the women who are battling cancer, to let them know that they can still look pretty and fashionable in spite of what is going on.
