8 Favorites: Modern Hand Mirrors

by Published: January 6, 2015

Once the essential vanity topper, hand mirrors have become almost obsolete–quaint relics to prop on a dresser or cluster on a wall. But for those who like to sit and reflect í  la fairy-tale stepmothers and mermaids, hand mirrors are starting to make a comeback in a sleek new guise. These eight are perfect for start-of-the year self scrutiny.
