Faded Days Sunglasses + Giveaway

via

I've already talked about how I consider sunglasses to be an essential to my wardrobe here and here. If you feel the same way, you should be excited about today's post. One of the biggest complaints about the sunglasses options these days is the lack of uniqueness in design. Most sunglasses give you the same options time and time again. And if you were to find a style that pleased your fancy, it often comes with a huge price tag. That's why I decided to partner with Faded Days. 

The story behind this company is pretty unique - nothing breakthrough but something that most of us can relate to. And supporting small businesses borne out of passion is always a good thing! Aside from the affordable and durable sunglasses, you can create your own custom sunglasses design at the website. You get free rein on choosing every detail of your sunglasses from the frames, to the lens, and arms! The choices are endless and you can unleash your creativity!

To reward that creativity, Ben (owner of Faded Days) and I would like to challenge you, my readers, to a fun and creative giveaway! Visit the Custom Sunglasses section of the website here. Create your custom design for sunglasses and when you are done, screenshot your design and post it to Instagram. Here is how the customization works:

When you post your creation, tag @fash_chronicles and @FadedDaysSunglasses using the hashtag #MyFashDesign and #FadedDays. You have 7 days to submit your design (contest ends June 15th). By the end of the giveaway period, we will be choosing the best design and the winner will get the pair they designed!

How simple is that? Make sure to get designing now & send in your entries for a chance to win your own customized Faded Days sunglasses! So excited to see your designs!

Summer Essential: Sunglasses

If there is one accessory that I can’t live without during summer, it would be sunglasses. In fact, it is an essential all year round. I always carry a pair with me when I step out of the house because it serves two purposes. First off, it makes for a great complementing accessory to your outfit. And second, it protects your eyes from the heat. When you’re living in a tropical country, you will understand what I mean by this.

I’ve collected a few sunglasses from Sunnies Studios (get 15% off with code ZBAPZD4H at Zalora), which is a local sunglasses designer. But I would like to opt for higher end brands to ensure more quality, durability and timeless style to complement my summer outfit. Below are just a few of the sunglasses that I’ve had my eye on:

Sili Sunglasses Tortoise Shell with Brown Polarised Lens / Sili Sunglasses Frosted Blue and Ice Blue Lens

Cole Haan Women's Cat Eye Sunglasses / Fendi Women's Acetate Sunglasses

Derek Lam Women's Greer Sunglasses / Jason Wu Women's Nadya Sunglasses

Escada Women's Aviator Sunglasses / Tom Ford Women's Paloma Sunglasses

Stella McCartney Women's Two Tone Sunglasses / Roberto Cavalli Semi Cat Eye Sunglasses
