BLUE LIGHT GLASSES

Many recent studies have proven the negative effects of blue light that is emitted from electronics. Given that I work on a laptop nine plus hours a day and use my phone incessantly, the amount of exposure to blue light is a lot. I wear glasses regularly, but all of the lenses that I own don’t protect against this type of light. So, I recently got new lenses from DIFF Eyewear that are SUPER cute!

I’m loving thin frames and circular shapes in fashion lately. It’s very 90s, and, truthfully, more harmonious with my fine bone structure. DIFF Eyewear is a brand that carries the latest trends and styles and also gives back to those in need with each purchase. I love when my dollars can be used for good, especially when I’m getting a good product in return.

I highly recommend DIFF eyewear. If you use the code EVJEN at check out you will get 10% off your purchase from now until February 26th, 2019.

Oversized Sweaters

It’s winter! It’s actually cold here in Arizona, and staying in the 50’s as a high and getting down into the 30’s. So, I’ve been taking advantage of these cold temps snuggling up with my cozy sweaters (one of my favorite pieces of clothing to buy).

With the fashion trends leaning towards oversized shirts and sweaters it can be hard to figure out how to wear them without looking like a bag lady or looking overweight. How exactly do you maintain your shape while enjoying the trend?

Balance. Bulky paired with form fitting pieces creates the perfect balance. I like wearing my bodysuits with my skinny jeans and my sweater over it all. Make sure you can show a bit of skin somewhere and you should be good to go.

Lifetime Leather Co.

Merry Christmas to me! I got my hands on a brand new Lifetime Leather Co. tote that I’m absolutely in love with.

Now that I’m traveling a lot, I found myself in need of a nice tote that can hold my laptop and a bunch of other things for the plane. The only other tote I had was a deep cranberry color, and though it’s beautiful, it doesn’t really coordinate with a lot.

This tote is made with quality leather, and runs the fine line of being casual and professional. Just my speed! Plus, it goes with everything I own.

The tote comes in 10 different colors of leather. You can also get a smaller version and or a style with a zipper if you are concerned about the contents falling out.

I love supporting local, and this family owned business is Arizona based. They source all of their leather here in the states, and they guarantee their products will last a lifetime and commit to repairing their products if you need it. Talk about great customer service!

Be sure to check out Lifetime Leather Co. if you’re looking to purchase a quality bag. They also have some amazing backpacks that I have been eyeing.

Marigold

Madewell is having a great sale on their summer clothes right now. So many of them would be perfect for fall transition. For example, if you just add a cozy grandpa cardigan with this dress you have a fall outfit in a split second.

The marigold color is hot for fall. In fact, mustard yellow, burnt orange and shades within this color family are all SUPER hot for fall.

I always look for a good sale on quality clothes and J.Crew and Madewell are good spots for me. You will also find some cute denim skirts on sale too!

New Glasses from Eyeconic

It has been almost a year since I started working at a marketing agency. I can't believe it! It has been a big growth experience and brought about change in many ways (all of that for another post), but one things is for sure...My eyes have changed. 

Granted, my eyesight could have also changed because I grew another year older, but as of now, I need glasses to see both near AND far. Whoa! I have only needed glasses for reading up until this point. We happen to have a client, Eyeconic, that sells prescription frames. So, I used my trusty eye insurance to get an exam, and ordered these RAD Chloe frames.

I love it when a pair of frames made a statement. I guess you could say I am at a point in my life when I'm ready to look through rose colored glasses. =) These frames were easy to order. I tried them on virtually! It was a new and fast experience for sure. 

These babies are not only helping me see clearer, but they are also helping me see life in a more positive way (or at least trying to). Check out more of their styles on their site. They have a TON to choose from.
