Spring Florals & a Polette Giveaway

Top // Pants // Similar Heels // Glasses c/o // Similar Handbag // Similar Bracelet

I've been a huge fan of Polette glasses for a long time, (you can read my first review of them here), but these ones take the cake. They are definitely my new favorite accessory! The light gold frames are perfect for spring. Polette is an online optician that offer's designer frames from $6.99-$49.99 with anti-reflective and anti-scratch coated lens options as well.
 
As you know from last week's post, I love to make my work looks more spring-like with the top I choose to wear. This Kate Spade top is feminine and I love the big floral print. For work I wear this with a blazer on top; but it's great to bare some shoulder (and get some sun!) over the lunch hour.

Today I am giving one lucky reader the chance to win a pair of glasses or sunnies from Polette! Enter below for your chance to win any frames of your choosing (open to US & Canadian residents 18+, for full general details about my rafflecopter giveaways see this post)

Have a great weekend everyone! I've got a fairly low-key weekend planned, unfortunately I have to work a fair bit to get on top of my case load for work next week, but I definitely plan on getting at least a bit of sunshine relaxation in!

Winter at Work

Similar Faux Layer Sweater (& a more affordable tan version) // Pants // Similar Boots // Handbag // Necklace c/o (love this one too) // Glasses c/o

I've had this faux layer sweater for years now and it is one of my favorite items (see another way I styled it here). A faux layered sweater keeps you cozy without adding bulk, and is great for a casual (non-suit) office. I paired it with some bright pants to warm up a wintery look.

I also still love my Polette E-glasses. These glasses protect your eyes from computer glare & eye strain. I have been doing a lot of research this week (... and binge watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix in my downtime, haha) so they have been a life saver!

Enjoy your weekend everyone. I am off to candlelight yoga tonight, and a Mexican themed house party on Saturday night. See you back here on Monday for another post!

Polette Eyewear: Glasses for us "screen addicts"

A few months back a friend told me about an online eyewear retailer; Polette. I made a mental note to check out them out when I had time - just to see the pretty glasses - but I had no intention of buying anything as I haven't worn glasses since I got laser eye surgery in 2009!   I completely forgot about them for a while until one day I was complaining to a co-worker about how much I had been staring at my computer screen that day, and how my eyes hurt. It was then that she mentioned "E-Polette" - a non-prescription collection of eyewear designed by Polette that reduces blue light/glare in order to PROTECT YOUR EYES FROM COMPUTER SCREENS!

How cool is that?!?

I immediately went and checked out Polette and was so glad that I did!! The entire process of selecting my glasses was fun! As you can see below they have a really cool feature where you can add a photo of yourself (and then size it as directed) to see what the various frames would look like on your face.



I decided to go with the "E-Brooklyn" glasses. I love em! They are a bit oversized which I feel a little "trying to be a hipster" while wearing... but I secretly really enjoy that. 

Glasses: Polette c/o 
Wall Letter: Chapters. Similar: here and here 
PJ Set: H&M. Similar: here
Over-the-Knee Socks: Forever 21 

 Coffee Mug: Chapters

Phone Case: Michael Kors

I find myself wearing my E-Brooklyn's whenever I am stuck spending a day out of court (ugh)... which means sitting in front of a computer all day. I also wear them on lazy weekend mornings when I curl up in bed and catch up on tv shows (I am loving Vampire Diaries & Girls right now) and blogs.

Needless to say, I LOVE these glasses in particular, but also the entire concept of E-eyewear. I would highly recommend it to anyone who, like me, has wayyyy to much screen time in their day!

The one thing I have to tell you though that I did not love about Polette is that it is very slow shipping. ...We're talking molasses at Christmas time here. It was just over one month from when I ordered my glasses to when I received them. I still recommend these glasses (and will still totally be ordering another pay myself!) but I just wanted to point this out to all of you so you are aware.
