How To Get Kristen Stewart’s #1 Best Dressed “Rock Chick” Look
Kristen Stewart is one in-demand actress who rock chicks it out to the max with neutral t-shirts in her own reinvented brand of grunge, but also consisitently glams it up in classy bombshell dresses on the red carpet. For the second time, she’s made Glamour magazine’s 50 Best Dressed Women’s list in the number one spot! Glamour just goes wild for Kristen’s amazing “rock chick style” as they call it. Well, let’s check it out to see what all the fashion fuss is about — while digging up some amazing Zenni glasses similar to the Twilight star’s:

Who knew that an alphabet bra could help you make the best dressed list? Or, that shopping in the men’s department for undershirts means that you just stuff the hem into one pocket to create more of a fit? Let’s face it — the glasses she’s wearing do a lot of good in this outfit! Her gorgeous mane of hair doesn’t hurt either.
Zenni 246421 $19.00
Get Kristen’s look by customizing the Zenni 246421 lookalike frame your way to create stylish sunnies. Clip-on shades are only $3.95 added on to the already low prescription glasses price of just $19.00 for this fashionable, medium-fit, quality frame. (Click on the frame image above for more info.)

See — it’s all about Kristen Stewart’s choice of glasses and her stunning reddish mane of hair. Wow! Both emphasize her creamy skin and lips that aren’t overly made up, but done in a very natural shade of light pink.
Zenni A8608421 $22.95
Not only does Zenni have all the cool summer looks in prescription eyewear with various customizable options (clip-on or magnetic sunshade add-ons or transitioning lenses), but there’s a wide range of non-prescription sunnies too. Have a scan through the Zenni online catalog by using the search box on the right side of any page and scrolling down to select “Wmns NonRx Sunglasses.” (Just click on the sunnies image above to get into the system.)
There are a lot of fabulous non-RX sunnies there that would suit the Kristen Stewart wardrobe of casual-glam, ‘rockster’ (rock star-hipster) pieces. For example, these Zenni A8608421 sunglasses with gradient gray lenses look a lot like Kristen’s $200 shades but for a fraction of the cost!

Geek chic is still going strong for 2013 and Stewart struts her stuff looking like she’s headed to math class. This could be one inexpensive casual summer look to put together. Black ankle socks, anyone?
Zenni 286015 $12.95
This Zenni 286015 frame is a new arrival ready for the popularity of the Geek Chic trend this summer. Criss-crossing on the temple arms makes for a unique, arty-preppy effect just right for Kristen’s style. The same frame is also available in black (Zenni 286021), but we like the brown version with Kristen’s frayed-edged, brownish-red shorts.

“Don’t nickel and dime me” Kristen Stewart’s shirt says. Um, okay, we won’t, but we will save you money on eyewear to be sure. It seems that the “rock chick style” lesson here is novelty saying, baggy black and white sweatshirt, plus black leather jacket, plus long messy hair and square sunglasses equals ready to brave the crowds.
Zenni A8608421 $22.95
Here’s a pair of non-prescription, amber-tinted sunnies just made for a rock chick with class like Kristen Stewart. The squared cat eye shape is glamorous with a cream background that features a unique black line pattern. We love the red tips at the temple arms.
Zenni 767011 $29.95
This hip(ster) to be square frame would make awesome sunglasses either by ordering a sunglasses add-on tint, or a matching clip-on or magnetic sunshade. The stainless steel, full-rim. prescription frame has flexible plastic temple arms and adjustable nose pads for extra comfort.

“Frame Friday” Roundup: Gearing Up the Right Way
Did you have a great run on June 5, National Running Day? Even if you missed it, it’s probably about the time of the year when you’re really feeling the urge to get out there and exercise. And as with any makeover, the right glasses can help you no matter where you are in the process. Whether you want a new pair of frames to make jogging easier and more comfortable or are starting to like what running does for you and want some fantastic frames to accent the changes, this Frame Friday Roundup is all about the right glasses for a summer runner.
There really is nothing like the clean lines of simple, refined frames on a freshly fit body. No matter where you are in your training, if you’ve already taken some time today to get outside and enjoy exercising, donning a crisp pair of glasses like these can’t help but make you feel even better. They’re the perfect motivator if your last run was more of a difficult slog, and equally fun if you’re beginning to feel the effects of stronger lungs, legs, and heart.
What is you did miss National Run Day and you’re not feeling too hot about shedding layers for Summer? Don’t worry about it! A splash of style and color that suits your face is just the thing you need to draw attention to the parts of you that you like best. These frames offer subtle accents, creative takes on popular trends, and the dash of color that differentiates them from the blandest, most common and unremarkable glasses.
That’s the beauty of how Summer makes most people feel. It’s warm so you want to get outside, soak it up, breath in the air, and enjoy nature, especially early in the day and the season before the heat gets unbearable. Even if this didn’t lead you to go for a run on National Running Day, it’s a great reason to check out some awesome new glasses and head out the front door. You just have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going and you’ll find something you love, something that makes you glad you’re wearing hip, comfortable new frames.

How To Order Awesome Photochromic (Self-Tinting) Glasses
Ordering tint-changing, light-adapting photochromic glasses from Zenni is a piece of cake. First, determine whether this type of lens will work best for your needs. Photochromic lenses are also called variable tinting, automatitic tinting or transition lenses, among other names. If you decide that self-tinting glasses are the way to go, then all you have to do is select your favorite frame, be guided through the simple Zenni ordering system and wait for your awesome, auto-tinting eyewear to arrive at your door!
1. Determine If Auto-Tinting Glasses Are Right For You
Photo Credits: Voglue
*Photochromic lenses are ideal when you’ll be experiencing different lighting conditions outdoors such as on a hike that will likely include both open, sunny areas and deep forest. You wouldn’t want to use them if you’ll only be in canopied forests or just in overcast conditions. Auto-tinting glasses/sunglasses are also not a good choice for inside a vehicle as the UV blocking property of glass windshields will prevent the lens from darkening adequately. But, for varied outdoor light conditions though, you just can’t beat photochromic sunglasses for helping you see objects standing out in your environment — like that snake on the nearby hill! (Eek!)
*Self-tinting glasses can be a great choice for children as they eliminate the need for both prescription, non-tinted eyeglasses and tinted prescription sunglasses. For many parents, this means one less pair of glasses to lose.
*Photochromic lenses don’t transition from different degrees of light very well in extremely hot or very cold weather, but are an excellent pick in more moderate temperatures as they will lighten and darken much faster.
2. Choose Your Frame
Here are some frame ideas for turning Zenni regular prescription glasses into also having a photochromic prescription sunglasses capacity. Their overall style is similar to the one shown in the photo above.
Zenni Women’s 420611 $23.95
This breezy, yet glamorous women’s rimless frame is available with 37 lens options — including photochromic lenses. It offers a fresh, airy style for auto-tinting sunglasses!
Zenni Women’s 477519 $23.95
How much fun is it to have pink-framed, self-tinting glasses? (Answer: a lot!) This medium-fit, pink stainless steel half-rim frame also has spring hinges for durability.
Zenni Children’s 429721 $9.95
A lightweight, small-fitting, metal alloy frame with spring hinges is ideal for creating auto-tinting glasses for little ones. The adjustable nose pads add to the comfort and durability of this stylish kid’s frame.
Zenni Men’s 210021 $15.95
Titanium memory-fit temples are featured in this lightweight, black metal alloy, full rim frame for men. It’s a medium-large size just waiting for photochromic tinting!
For more ideas, this time in a larger and different lens shape, consider choosing one of these Zenni frames as prescription photochromic glasses/sunglasses:
Zenni Women’s NEW ARRIVAL! 286117 $9.95
This new, transparent purple-patterned, women’s frame offers such awesome summer style at only $9.95! It’s available in single vision, bifocal and progressive prescriptions and seems to be just waiting for photochromic lenses!

With simulated wood arms in a thick design, and a fashionably geeky wayfarer shape, this new women’s frame would make a contemporary, yet outdoorsy, statement as photochromic glasses/sunglasses. We likey!
Zenni Children’s 230517 $6.95
Here’s a super-inexpensive, yet sturdy, wrap style of kid’s frame with a fun, watercolor style of finish. This Zenni frame works with prescriptions less than +/-2.50 Spherical.
Men’s 230831 $12.95
Wouldn’t this stylin,’ narrow-fit, medium-size, men’s frame with such a unique, transparent and black pattern make great photochromic glasses? But of course!
3. Fill Out The Easy Zenni Order Form
(Just click on any of the glasses images above to get into the Zenni frame catalog and ordering system.)
*Fill in your prescription information and the ordering details for photochromic lenses to determine the cost with the model of frame you’ve chosen.

How To Easily Order A Great $3.95 Polarized Clip-On Sunshade That Fits Your Glasses
Since a Zenni Polarized Clip-On Sunshade will give your prescription glasses double duty as sunglasses for just $3.95, it’s undeniably great value. It means you don’t have to bother with separate sunglasses, but just simply attach your clip-on sunshade to your prescription glasses whenever you’re outside and that big, bright light in the sky makes an appearance. The sunshade is cut to exactly fit each pair of Zenni prescription glasses, and it attaches simply at the front of your glasses with a metal clip and two rubber tips. The polarized lenses will work more effectively than regular sunglasses at reducing the glare of sunlight off of surfaces such as snow, water, sand and windshields to allow you to see objects more clearly. (Yes, outdoor safety is always a good thing!)
Here’s how to order a matching polarized, clip-on sunshade to your choice of almost any Zenni frame, for just $3.95:
