Black Friday Survival Kit: Finding the Perfect Gift with Sunglass Hut




Black Friday is the start of the holiday shopping frenzy, but it doesn't have to overwhelm you. Inspired by Sunglass Hut, here are my tips to help you find the perfect gifts for the stylish ladies on your list.

Start with a great pair of shades. Designer sunglasses always make a great gift. Think about the recipient's personality: Is she classic with a twist? Bohemian chic? Or all-about glamour? Pick a frame that speaks to her.

Sparkle always makes a fab gift. Whether it's a shimmery nail polish or timeless gold chain necklace, a glittery accessory is guaranteed to put a twinkle in her eye.

Think cozy-chic. It's cold outside, so get her something warm! Studded leather gloves or an embellished sweater are totally indulgent and sure to be appreciated.

Surround her with little luxuries. A beautiful candle, velvet pumps or chevron tablet cover will liven up her space.

Shop the look:
Vogue Sunglasses, $89.95 // With a classic and modern design these Vogue sunglasses offer a sophisticated timeless look. They feature brown plastic frames and brown gradient lenses. For added detail, there is unique hinging near the temples and the Vogue signature sits on the arms.
