Astoria Small Biz Owner Spotlight: Nicole of The Brass Owl Summer is in full swing; BBQ’s, Rockaway beach days, picnics, music festivals, and more. It’s important to complete the perfect summer outfit with the best accessories. We asked Nicole from The Brass Owl to give us the lowdown on her favorite summer fashions & trends. () Nothing says summer like a new pair of flip flops! Nicole loves the black & gold color combos and t-straps. The Brass Owl carries Ipanema flip flops which according to Nicole are both super comfortable and durable! These would look great from the beach to the bar. () In my opinion you can NEVER have too many totes. Stuff them with snacks for the picnic, wine for movies in the park, swimsuit for laps at the pool, and everything in between. Show off that Astoria pride with a Brass Owl exclusive “Astoria, I Love You” bag, and take it to all your summer events. () Protect your eyes from the sun with a new pair of sunnies! The Brass Owl has tons of fun options available; flat lenses, colored lenses, and rose gold. Nicole’s favorite frames for the summer are Le Specs, The Prince style which covers all 3 trends! (BTW I want these so bad!!) () This summer chokers are making a comeback (I see you 90’s child Emily) and one of the biggest trends in jewelry. Who can you thank for this angst necklace return, Taylor Swift, she has rocked them hard on the festival scene. According to Nicole these look great with dresses, tank tops, just about anything! () Nicole loves flip flops for the summer, but according to her the Gladiator sandals are the hottest trend in footwear this summer. They look great with skirts, maxis and shorts. Aren’t these Dolce Vita gladiator on a cork wedge adorable? Note to self pick up a pair of these soon!! () If the trends above aren’t your personal style, head over The Brass Owl, Nicole can help you find a perfect accessory for this summer. P.S. Don’t forget to take advantage of our Brass Owl deal.
