Find the Sunglasses for You

Hello everyone!

Summer is a dream that is running through all of our heads right now.  With this magnificent season approaching, beach and pool days are in the near future.  I wanted to show several styles of sunglasses to help you get thinking about what accessory will best complement you this season.  I will show several of the popular sunglass options, but I want you to keep in mind that these options shown are not all that exist so keep your eyes open.

When choosing a color for your sunglasses it is always fun to mix it up with a crazy color.  When choosing between gold or silver though, one color often complements your skin tone more than the other.  Often gold complements people with the warmer skin tones while silver complements others with cooler skin tones.

When choosing a size, it is also recommended that you choose a pair that fits you face.  People with larger faces can pull off more of the big style sunglasses, whereas others with slim faces look best in the more regular/smaller sized sunglasses.

Here are the basic styles:

Tortoise AmberTortoise SmokeGoldGold Gradient

Black Gold



Gold AmberTortoise


All of these sunglasses came from shopzerouv.com along with many more unique and fun styles.

I hope at least one of these styles peaked your interest so you can go out and look for some sunglasses that will be of good use this summer season.  I want to reiterate that these are the simple, classic styles.  I wanted to show all the classic styles so if you find a structure that you adore, you can then go to the next step and look for specific colors and patterns.

Thank you for reading and I would love if you would tell me your favorite sunglasses in the comments below.

Out With The Old and In With The New!

Happy New Year everyone!

With the holidays passing I am positive that everyone is showing off their new clothes and accessories they got.  With this new wave of clothing, everyone's new year resolution should be to go through their clothes.  I know this resolution might sound time consuming and difficult, but it is extremely worth it if you want an organized and functional closet to display all your new clothes!

I will be providing some tips on how you can organize and go through those piles of clothes.

Try everything on:
It is easy to think one's favorite t-shirt still fits but it is very beneficial to try on the majority of their clothing items on in front of a mirror to help decide what they should really keep or not.

If you haven't worn it in over a year, toss it:
Many people cling to clothing items for no reason at all.  If one wants their closet to be flawless, they have to be brutal and realize that they must get rid of it if they have not worn it in a long time.

Divide your clothes into YES, NO and MAYBE piles:
A great way to sort through your clothes is to make piles of the for sure yes and no's.  The maybe pile can pose a problem though because it is usually the biggest.  Instead of throwing your whole maybe clothes pile into the yes or no section, divide half of it up.  By dividing half of it among the yes and no groups, you are able to still keep some maybe clothes without throwing them all away.

Organize your clothes by warmth and color:
By organizing your clothes in your closet by warmth and color, you will be able to see all your clothes easier and locate the section best for the weather faster.  Put your tanks at one end and color coordinate them by the rainbow, then add your t-shirts after them and color coordinate them, and so on and so forth.

Donate all the clothes that are leaving your closet:
Once it is decided which clothes are being kept and which ones are being discarded, donate the ones that are being thrown away.  What no longer fits or follow the latest trends could be exactly what someone else needs so give back and donate the clothes that would be going to the trash.

Thank you for reading and I hope these tips benefit everyone's resolution to go through their clothes and clean out their closet.  I would love to hear what you have to say so comment below if these tips helped you or if you have any additional tips to add.
