How and Where to Style Every It Girl’s Go-To Accessory

Believe it or not, accessories, namely sunglasses, have the potential to make or break your outfit. Whether you’re running errands or meeting friends for coffee, you have to keep a few things on your radar, including what neighbourhood you’re going to and what style vibe you’re going for. That’s why having a variety of eyewear options—for fashion and function—on hand will help you select the right pair to pull your entire look together. Not quite sure where to begin?

"North Beach is commonly referred to as "Little Italy” because of the many well known Italian restaurants that have existed there for decades," says Engel. "We like to venture to this neighborhood for great coffee, visiting the famous bookstores, or hanging at Washington Square Park."
