TASSELS ET AL
Local designer Hannah Ren has been known to do classes on working with silver, but it’s all about the silky pops of color in these flirty earrings. Each tassel is capped with a sterling silver post for a glimmer of chic shine.

STEALTH FRAME
A Scandinavian spin on the traditional aviator, these new STEALTH frames from Dienastie’s Ace collection are light and simple, but with exceptional quality and fit. Brighten up a gray winter with a splash of ocean-colored tint or keep it classic with black on black.

BOOK
Rfactory’s handbags are growing popular with local celebrities and are usually reserved for classic, leather looks, but “Book” goes well beyond the basics. Playful pompoms dress up its front in canary yellow and other textures are available in moreish maroon and glittery silver.
