To Infinity and (N)eon!
WHAT: ash&dans Mesh Cutout Infinity Scarf
WHY: Neon meets mesh in a winter blues banishing combo that is this ash&dans Mesh Cutout Infinity Scarf. This chunky loop of color and texture is anything but muted and the pop of intergalactic neon yellow will enliven any wardrobe (or soul). You had us at yellow, ash&dans; now we're going to keep you for infinity. Well, hopefully, as your dear Daily has had some recent snafus with colorful circle scarves going MIA while out on the town. What gives?! Thankfully, this peppy shot of brightness looks pretty difficult to lose in a crowded boîte. #Winning.

Harem Renaissance
WHAT: My Pet Square Bamboo Print Silk Harem Pants
WHY: Ready to float your way through Fashion Week?! Like a shiny wrapper of a chocolate bar, these My Pet Square silk harem pants are just the ticket. Glossy nude-colored silk shimmers with a delicate bamboo print for a mellow trip to the tropics. Plus, a touch of the practical! Open slit sides reinvent the classic shape, and offer much-needed ventilation for overly aggressive indoor heating situations, whether you're catwalk or cubicle adjacent. Now all you need is that piña colada!

Face-to-Facets
WHAT: Mimi So Faceted Rutilated Quartz Switch ring
WHY: Faceted stones? Sure, a karat a dozen. But a seamlessly facet-on-facet situation, featuring gleaming 18K gold that cuts the same luscious angles as the enormous quartz nestled atop is an entirely different story. Take in a glance (or two...or a few...) of this dramatically-scaled Mimi So stunner. The quartz isn't your run of the mill sparkler, either: this rutilated hunk of milk chocolate-hued stone is shot through with threads of toffee. It's (Mimi) So delicious, darlings!

Textured, straightforward noir leather uppers complete the minimalistic design. Strap into these color-block stripes and stride under the palm trees with style!
