4 Fashion Essential Lifesavers for Everyday Style
DETAILS: SUNGLASSES | WHITE SILK TOP | FRAYED DENIM | SUEDE BOOTIES | TAN FEDORA | SILVER WATCH | LIP (SHADE: MULLBERRY KISS) | BURGUNDY VELVET CLUTCH (OLD – SIMILAR HERE)
Cody always teases me that I have way too many sunglasses! They clutter my cup holders and you can find random pairs in just about every nook and cranny of my car. But sunglasses are like lipstick: you can never have too many and they are all so different! I feel like they can make the most basic outfit pop and – as a mom – when you don’t want to do your make-up they are a life saver! Gotta hide those under eye bags 🙂 I have so many over-sized round frames and I’ve been trying to find the perfect more delicate round frame for that everyday California vibe. I just got these from Zenni Optical’s new LA Collection and love them! I’ve put together my list of 4 small essential fashion lifesavers for everyday style.
- Sunglasses: Sunglasses are the best secret weapon. For those mornings after you stayed up too late finishing a deadline or are still getting over that jetlag from your latest getaway (my sleep schedule still isn’t back on track!), there’s no faster fix than a cute pair of sunglasses. Just got these with amber tinted lenses and also loving these and these.
- Lipstick: You may not always have time for makeup, but between your sunglasses and a swipe of your go-to shade of lipstick, you’ll be the only one that knows you traded in a full face of makeup for those 10 extra minutes of sleep. 😉
- Gel Manicure: With regular nail polish my nails always chip in 2 seconds, and who has time to worry about touching up your manicure every other day? A fresh manicure always looks put together and gel polish will last the longest.
- Designer Bag: Another small detail that will always go a long way is a designer bag. They will elevate even the most basic jeans and tee combo.
I’ve partnered with Zenni to give one lucky reader up to $150 towards a new pair of Zenni sunglasses up. To enter, check out Zenni’s LA Collection video and comment with your favorite spots in LA. Winner announced next Thursday. 🙂 Good luck!

My fave spot in LA is the observatory.
We love Huntington Beach and of course Disneyland!! Both places where sunglasses are a necessity. 🙂
Cute casual vibe!

Yes, gel polish last definitely a lot. I suppose that I should have to go for it if I want to have a nice manicure everyday!
I need a new designer bag, actually I need my very first designer bag!

The Grove and Farmer’s Market!
I totally agree with all of these but especially the get polish point. I get my nails done every 3 weeks and it is just the best. When my nails are done and not chipping I feel like my outfit is complete! I’m currently wearing Ocean Nail Supply chrome pigment and it’s fricking awesome!!!

Couldnt agree more with all of these, a gel manicure always goves me a confidence boost, sunnies are just a general essential and good bag, well it speaks for itself right?

The Grove!
Never been to the West Coast so I can’t say I have a fav from personal experience but from seeing pictures of it, the observatory, is definitely on my spots to visit when I get to visit one day!
I’ve only been to LA once but Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier were two of my fave places that we visited! I love the pair of sunnies you chose too, they’re so retro-chic!
Love the glasses! My fav spot in California is San Francisco. My husband just got a job there and we are long distance for the next few months… 🙁 My favorite is getting to see him. LOVE!
I think the lipstick and fun sunglasses combination is a great way to enhance any outfit. It’s amazing how a little color on your lips can make you look dressed up. What is your favorite every day lip color? I’m like you and don’t have all the time to get get ready in the morning, so this my become my go-to disguise for when I’m running late. Thanks for sharing these essentials! http://asparklingstickystyle.com/p/about.html
You look so stylish! Your look is perfect for every day, thanks for inspiration!
