3 Fashion Blogger Tips for a Stylish Summer

StyleCandy Washington3 Comments

Hi lovelies,

It’s officially Memorial Day Weekend, which means that summer is about to officially kick-off!

If you’re ready to unleash your inner fashionista while soaking up some sun, living poolside, and making lasting memories with your friends and family, then check out my top three style must-haves to have your most stylish summer yet.

#1: Have your go-to summer style uniform

I always love layering, even in the summer. My go-to summer style uniform is black tights, denim cut-offs, a black tank top, black studded heels, and a printed kimono.


#2: Have your go-to signature sunglasses

One of my favorite accessories to complete any outfit is a pair of signature shades. This summer, I’m obsessed with the iconic Aviator silhouette by Ray-Ban.


#3: Have your go-to sunscreen

We all want that bronze and golden glow, but we have to make sure to protect our skin from sun damage, lines, wrinkles, and aging, by layering up with a sunscreen that leaves your skin smooth and protected without any oily, flaky, or white residue.

My favorite sunscreen for summer has to be Supergoop Super Power Mousse SPF 50.

Have a bright future with Nectar Sunglasses

Hi lovelies,

I've had a busy and whirlwind last few days, with three back-to-back auditions! The first one came down to me and one other girl, the second one I booked (we film tomorrow), and I'm still waiting to hear back from the third.

I'm very grateful for these opportunities, and I'm also super grateful for finding my new favorite sunglass brand, Nectar. 

Since my future's so bright, I just had to rock Nectar Sunglasses in Baltic.

Whether I'm in the car driving in the LA sun from audition-to-audition, relaxing on the beach in Santa Monica, or just being silly and playing dress-up at home, Nectar Sunglasses are the perfect accessory to protect my eyes while adding a stylish flair to any outfit. 

Check them out here and let me know which pair is your fav! Also, let me know, what's looking bright in your future? 

Let's celebrate together and comment below or hit me up on Twitter here. 

Garrett Leight California Optical Runway Show with Ruffian

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

One of my favorite ways to accessorize any look and make a fashion statement about our personal style is with a unique pair of sunglasses. Luckily for us, Garrett Leight California Optical just created an optical accessories design collaboration with the fashion label Ruffian. I received the insider's information and a front-row seat at their runway show. Read below for the behind-the-scenes fashion scoop on the show and the latest designs from their Spring/Summer 2015 collection.

Garrett Leight California Optical is pleased to introduce its newest collaboration with New York lifestyle brand Ruffian.

The capsule, which includes limited-edition custom frames, successfully debuted last week at Ruffian's Spring/Summer 2015 runway show during Los Angeles Fashion Week.

Hosted at the Sarah Gavlak Gallery, Ruffian’s exquisite ready-to-wear collection was unveiled alongside a mix of classic frames exclusively created in custom bright and neutral hues for the brand.

"We are thrilled to be collaborating with Garrett Leight California Optical," says Brian Wolk and Claude Morais, Ruffian's creative directors, in a joint statement. "American made luxury and the spirit of entrepreneurialism is a cornerstone of the Ruffian brand, much like it is for Garrett Leight, which makes this original collaboration particularly exhilarating for all of us."

The Garrett Leight California Optical x Ruffian collection frames will include the following styles: pink crystal Dillon 50 with rosé mirror lens, black Dillon 50 with black solid mirror lens, ivory Pacific 48 with pink flash on clear lens and black Pacific 48 with pink flash on clear lens.

A selection of the capsule collection is currently available for purchase on www.garrettleight.com.
