Outfit Of The Day (The Sweet, Sweet Shades Of Fashion)





Taking a quick moment in the holiday craziness here!  I hope you all had a great Christmas, and I'll be back later with a bit more of an update with pictures on Christmas in The Chloe Conspiracy household.

When I noticed that one of my very favorite bloggers, Anh of 9 to 5 Chic, was in the running to become Sunglass Hut's pick for Full Time Fabulous to win money, a gig, and an apartment in Manhattan for a year I was absolutely elated!  Not only is she incredibly down to earth and THE nicest and sweetest blogger out there, but she is one of those girls that could wear a paper bag and still look classy & stylish (and it has nothing to do with her fabulous collection of Chanel handbags OR her amazing shoes- trust me!).  Anh is also a huge CU Buffs fan, as is Husband- and those can be pretty hard to find anymore.  ;)

So when Anh decided to do a bit of a "Fashion Bloggy Sisterhood of the Traveling Sunglasses" and asked me if I would like to take part, I immeeeediately said YES!  Who wouldn't want to try on a few fabulous pairs of sunglasses at home and have a bit of fun with it? She sent a box full of shades my way (on loaner only, darnit!) from brands like Burberry, Tory Burch, Ray-Ban, Versace, and Prada and I had the chance to snap a quick few pics wearing them all.  

Here's a small sneak peek of the photos I snapped, shot beneath my (not) very bright and newly-hung living room light:

And since I live in Colorado and it IS one of the sunniest states on the map, I have quite the collection of sunglasses myself and so I also threw in a picture of my favorite pair of shades, my vintage Yves Saint Laurent Cat-Eye Sunglasses that I scored off of Market Publique a few months back:

Want to see pictures of me AND Anh wearing all of the shades? There's also a little surprise involving Husband and Petunia, too!  Hop over to Anh's blog on Full-Time Fabulous for the rest of this post and PLEASE comment and vote for her- every little bit will help her towards a much-deserved win!

  2. Cute, Chloe! and are you going back to blonde or just rocking the ombre hair trend? (which I'd love to try if I could figure out how to use those damned box hair kits to do so. grr.)

  12. You look great in the Aviators! I had to get them in the lighter lenses-- I can't pull off the dark lenses, for some reason I wind up channeling the cop from Terminator 2.

  15. I have been reading your blog regularly for a while now and these pictures have (finally) prompted me to comment on the following;
    -Love your hair!! LOVE.
    -Love your shades!! Hello, pretty sure not everyone can pull off looking so good in cat-eye glasses.
    -LOVE your ceiling lamp! I must get one!!! If you start featuring home accessories on your blog I fear I will never leave the house and spend all day online shopping (even more than I do already).

    XOXO

Likes fashion, broccoli, ice cream, clarifying that she does not eat ice cream with her broccoli as to not cause worldwide panic, hoarding beauty products & pretty shoes, tickle fights with her husband (he would like to clarify that he does not like them back, OKAY?), anything covered in sprinkles, any alcoholic beverage made with Tang, live music, clicking the camera, sarcasm fonts, vases stuffed full of pretty flowers, and laughing hard until her belly hurts. Wants an adventurous life, lots of puppies, to never obtusely wander around with her fly down, and to be an iconic Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress with a bright, festive print when she grows up.
