Skinny Love

Again and again, I see fashion articles declaring skinny jeans as démodé, but I don’t care – they are still classic and look great with a pair of pointed toe kitten heels and a longline vest. Not to typecast, but today’s look reminds me so much of French fashion. Maybe it’s the simple black and white pairing, or maybe it’s the stripes, but the outfit exudes the perfect blend of casual and elegance that the French seem to have mastered on a daily basis. Throw in an unexpected pair of black aviator sunglasses like this one from Polette Eyewear, and you’re ready to run your errands like a fashion pro.

You may remember my mentioning Polette a while ago in a past post. To quickly refresh, Polette is a leading eyewear brand on the French market that’s currently expanding into North America. First launched in 2011, the Polette team today is comprised of a young dynamic staff intent on making the eyewear purchasing process as smooth, fun, and budget-friendly as possible for customers – and it’s working. With pages and pages of different high-quality styles available for purchase, there’s something for everyone. When you’re browsing Polette frames, take advantage of my favorite feature – the “Virtual Try-On” – where you can see the frames modeled on an actual face. It certainly helps in the decision-making, especially since different frames complement different facial structures.

As a special treat this week, Polette is offering one lucky reader the opportunity to score his/her favorite frame! All you have to do is follow the steps below:

1. Like Polette’s Facebook page and follow Polette’s Instagram and Twitter
2. Follow Jayeeaych (here’s how) and follow on Instagram

Simple, right? The winner will receive the frame of his/her choice adjusted to his/her sight, complete with a cute white Polette microfiber soft case and cleaning cloth (example here).
