EYE ON DESIGN TALKING SUMMER TRENDS WITH ROBERT MATTHEW FASHION. What colors scream summer to you? We are loving coral colors and the juicy orange shades of tangerine like our Hannah Shoulder Tote (pictured left). It’s fun and energizing, without being blinding. What three elements make for the ultimate handbag? Accents: We love the classic, clean look while still remaining unique. Our Emma Tote features small studded accents to add this unique style yet staying sophisticated. Storage: Accessibility and style are key. Our Stella Satchel looks small and chic from the outside, but inside there’s multiple zipper pockets, dividers and plenty of room for daily belongings. Convenience: We’re taking full advantage of the adjustable shoulder strap so handbags can be worn for a hands-free option. What is the “little black dress’ of the handbag world? A classic tote bag in tan goes with almost everything. Our Charlotte tote is all the rave this season. What’s the correct way to care for your handbags for ultimate longevity? Stuffing your handbag with old T-shirts is a great way for it to retain its shape. Spraying your bag with a protective spray once or twice a year is also advised. What are the most ontrend shapes and sizes for Summer? A structured design is trending amongst women this season. It’s professional enough for work but chic enough for happy hour. Our Hailey tote is a classic go-to mid-size tote. — RobertMatthew.com SIRE’S CROWN EYEWEAR DELIVERS GUILT-FREE STYLE FOR THE DISCERNING FASHIONISTA. Saving the world is all about making better choices. It’s the core philosophy of Sire’s Crown Eyewear. Co-founded by optician Chris Erven and designer CJ Thomason, the talented duo joined forces in 2007 to create eco-friendly, wooden eyewear and haven’t looked back. Produced in Downtown Los Angeles, the fashion-forward can choose from eight vintage styles of frames. Each made from a composite mixture of cotton fiber and wood pulp, and then customized with thousands of options and combinations of thin wood veneer. Each pair of glasses is a one-of-a-kind creation. Plus, Sire’s Crown Eyewear’s has teamed up with TreesForTheFuture.org, so for every pair of frames sold, 100 trees are planted. Sounds like a fashion forward choice to me. — SiresEyewear.com HEAVEN HAS HEELS summer 2015 | @HHHEELS
