STYLISH LITERATURE


There is nothing like reading a good book with some rad frames on, and for those of us who aren't necessarily in need of prescription glasses, we fake it. There is something about wearing readers that makes me feel focused, as silly as that may sound, and they actually are a great fashion staple. They can make any casual look I little more stylish.

I get a lot of questions about where I get my readers from and I say Urban Outfitters is the best place to get them, as that is where I got both of the pairs shown above. Honestly, you can't go wrong with UO Eyewear in general.

On a side note, I am enjoying one of my favorite authors, Vonnegut, lately so I am re-reading one of his masterpieces, Slaughterhouse-Five. His writing is so odd but I love the style and I love a book with a fast pace.

I cuddled up in bed re-reading Gatsby last week, and of course I was wearing my readers ;)

Actually, I might go do that right now.

YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL





Blouse : LovelyWholesale
Shorts : Sheinside
Shoes : JustFab
                                                           

I've had this blouse sitting in my closet collecting dust for a while because I was waiting for the right thing to pair it with. I was also waiting for spring/summer to hit so that the print would seem acceptable, even though there are no rules in fashion right?!

These "leather" shorts came in from Sheinside the other day and I knew they would be perfect with this blouse. I like the play on hard and soft, gives the look a simple contrast.

Off to eat my mother's yummy steak salad. Gotta love home cookin.

BLOCK OUT THE RAYS


Here is sunny Las Vegas, I can't go outside without sunglasses on unless I want to already be looking for good Botox doctors in my area. We haven't hit the peak of summer of course, but it is still in the 90 degree zone here and with that comes so much sun.

I have always said that the number one anti aging tip is to wear sunglasses. If they are any good, they protect your eyes from harsh rays and they keep you from squinting (premature wrinkles). Alright, I will stop talking like a 2am paid-per-view salesman.

I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite pairs of sunglasses. Check your local thrift stores! They always have great, unique bits in the UV eyewear department.
