Cat Eye Sunglasses: Sexy Eyes

Kourtney Kardashian

Looking for some new shades for the season? The cat eye style is the new in look. They are super flattering for most face shapes and are oh so stylish. They can add a high fashion look to any get up.

Celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian, Scarlette Johansson, and Nicole Richie have all sported these funky shades. They can go perfect with any outfit, but I personally think the cat eye glasses are a bit more on the dressier side. This look also goes great with red lips!

Cat eye sunglasses are also very unique because you can pull off funky colors like red or white. Black, brown, and tortoise shell are basic colors that will always look fab. There are also certain levels of the cat eye shades. All three of the glasses below shows the different extremities.

Urban Decay Naked: Dazzling Eyes



This palette is undeniably one of the best! It has all the right shades of colors for any kind of look. Whether it is for a natural daytime look or you are going for a  smoky eye at night, this palette has all the right colors.

Naked by Urban Decay comes with 12 different colors, a brush, and an eye primer. The eye primer is a great addition to the package because it keeps the eye shadow on for hours without any smudges or clumps.

Natural Colors

These colors are the lighter, more natural colors. They are perfect for any daytime look, but can even be played up for a sparkly nighttime look. My personal favorite color is Sidecar; it is so sparkly and girly. I think it looks great as a basic daytime color, but I also always try to use it with my nighttime look as well.

Dark Colors

This end of the palette is definitely geared more towards a smoky/nighttime look. With colors like Gunmetal and Darkhorse, you can either go for a black/silver or brown/gold smoky eye.


You can purchase this palette at either Ulta, Sephora, or the Urban Decay website. This product has been flying off the shelves and is very often not in stock, so get it when you can! This palette goes for $48, which is a great price considering these eyeshadows individually go for $17 each.

Patterned Leggings: Get Funky


BDG Abstract Legging [$39, Urban Outfitters]

Out with the boring, solid colored leggings and in with the funky prints. No longer are we just seeing black or brown leggings in the stores, but we are seeing aztec and leopard print leggings as well.

These leggings allow you to spice up any plain sweater or shirt. Instead of a just a black legging on the bottom, try a fun printed legging and you'll be sure to turn heads.

Leopard Print Leggings [$14.99, Necessary Clothing]

This trend can be applied to your everyday wardrobe, or for a going out look. During the day you can wear the printed leggings with a chunky sweater or loose top. Throw on some combat boots or booties and you have a trendy outfit. At night, pair these leggings with a tight black dress and heels and this makes a perfect party outfit.
