Derek Cardigan Fluoro Frames

I love presents. Who doesn't, right? But presents are super awesome to me, because my family doesn't exchange gifts anymore and hasn't for years. I basically become a four year old on their birthday whenever I am at the receiving end of an unexpected surprise. So when I got a pair of surprise frames from Coastal as part of their Style Ambassador program, I was ecstatic.

The frames are matte, purple, yet kind of clear. Super modern and fresh, and perfect for summer. Like all of my other Coastal frames, they are also super comfortable! 

Although I have worn them with bright colors and neutrals, I adore how they look with my new favorite cream romper from Forever 21 (still sold out online). Aren't they fun?

A huge thank you to my friend Tammy for taking these photos, and a huge congratulations to her on her new job. Yay! 

More Love for Derek Cardigan and Coastal!

I am a huge fan of glasses and anybody who knows me or reads my blog knows that coastal.com is one of my favorite things! If you really know me, you also know that Derek Cardigan is my boy. My DC frames are on trend, affordable and versatile. What could be better?

When coastal.com named me one of their Style Ambassadors (fun!) and asked me to review a pair of designer frames, I briefly hesitated over a pair of Balenciaga cateyes before ordering the pair I've had my eye on for a while - Derek Cardigan's 7008 frames in Ice. Clear frames. Plus DC? How genius! They go with literally everything, are really comfortable and give off a fresh and modern vibe. Also, I ventured away from my round frame and cateye comfort zone to try a more rectangular shape. Here is how I wore them:

Jacket: Gap navy boucle with black leather trim ($32.99, reduced from $88), this season

Pants: Gap window pane ($7.18, reduced from $54.50), this season

Shoes: thrifted, $5

Necklace: Stella & Dot Estate Bib, sold out (available on eBay)

Earrings: diamond studs, gift to myself

Rings and cuff: Silpada
