Shop It NowScore Free BonLook Sunnies With Our Special R29 Code!
A new set of frames shouldn't cost a fortune — especially if you're like us and you manage to sit on every pair. So, when we discovered BonLook we seriously stocked up like a day at Costco. In addition to the lower-than-low price tags (seriously, we spend more on groceries in a given week), the company offers scores of unisex styles. What more could you ask for?
BonLook has gone above and beyond our wildest eyewear expectations by including a virtual app that allows customers to try before they buy. Plus, the brand donates a portion of the proceeds to charity, which tickles us in just the right way.
So, not only are we super stoked to reveal our latest frame find, but we're also partnering with BonLook to give away two new items from its solid stock of specs. Named after our favorite Faye Dunaway flick, the Bonnie & Clyde shades come in either midnight blue or turquoise and manage to look ah-mazing on both guys and gals.
How can you score these splendid sunnies? Just head over BonLook's website and enter the code LOVEREF29 to automatically receive one pair of Bonnie & Clyde sunglasses with your purchase. Now all we need is someone to share 'em with!

Swap Your Current Moisturizer For The Crème De La Crème
Admit it: Your daily moisturizer isn't up to snuff. Sure, the jar promises healthier looking skin, but it has yet to deliver on that celeb-endorsed glow.
We know where you're coming from — since the seventh grade, finding the end-all, be-all lotion has been our ultimate conquest. We're tried-and-true drugstore-beauty shoppers, but while we hate to admit it, sometimes the good stuff carries a heavy price tag.
So what's a gal to do? Sacrifice good skin for her rent check? Think again: Visit Saks Fifth Avenue this Thursday and exchange your current moisturizer (even if it’s been used!) for a complimentary jar of RéVive’s Moisturizing Renewal Cream.
Need proof that this stuff works? Trust us, we're not the only ones hoarding those free samples (valued at $87.50). And this is one swap we ain't skipping!
When: Thursday, May 24, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Where: RéVive counter at Saks Fifth Avenue, 9600 Wilshire Boulevard (at South Peck Drive); 310-275-4211.

Discover Accessory Heaven At This Project Runway Alum's Sweet Sale!
We practically kissed our TV screens when Gretchen Jones avoided the dreadful auf Wiedersehen on Project Runway. Sure, her boho-luxe designs won us (and the judges) over, but it was the winner's appreciation for in-your-face turquoise jewelry and stacked, mismatched bangles that caught our accessory-obsessed eyes.
So, imagine the squeals of excitement when the news of a trunk show, hosted by Gretchen herself, landed in our inboxes. As if we needed another reason to ditch our regular Tuesday night date with New Girl, the sale is taking place at our fave Echo Park boutique, Myrtle.
Expect loads of indie summer dresses and exotic prints that will be the best thing to happen to your seaside wardrobe since the cover-up. As for jewels, it'd be wise to get there early to gun for those pendant necklaces and porcupine-quill earrings (we're positive there will be a mad rush!).
When: Tuesday, May 22, 6 to 9 p.m.
Where: Myrtle, 2213 West Sunset Boulevard (Between Rosemont Avenue and Mohawk Street); 213-413-0004.

Local Love Fest: Score Sick One-Of-A-Kind Wares At This Sale
You’ve just made a grand entrance at a friend’s soirée, when all of the sudden every girl's worst nightmare happens: The exact same top you have on is hanging (unattractively, we might add) on some other chick. Should you run? Should you hide? Should you rip the clothing off her back? While we all have our fave spots to shop, our old haunts can sometimes be hazardous for this horrifying predicament. True, thrifting can steer this “Who wore it best?” ordeal away, but sometimes we just want a new, beautifully crafted article of clothing to call all our own (because, really, who likes sharing?). That’s where this rad new company comes in. Based on the Eastside, Populous helps support local artisans by offering the public amazing finds that you won’t see elsewhere.
Tomorrow, you can shop, snack, and mingle with uber-cool up-and-coming artists and you’ll find fresh gems for your closet from designers like 69, Shaina Mote, Osei Duro, and many others. If their sites are any prediction, you're totally going to like what you see! All of the merch in this renovated '30s electrical factory will be either handcrafted or produced locally, which means you’re getting cream-of-the-crop quality and being a virtuous consumer.
And, as if you need another reason to be there, homemade refreshments will be served by several of the designers straight from their own recipe books. So, leave behind that matching mishap and come meet and support some of the most innovative players in L.A. design.
When: Sunday, May 20, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Pieter Performance Space, 420 West Avenue 33, Unit 10 (near Artesian Street).

Shop Like An Egyptian: This Label Looks Back For Modern Inspiration
Here in L.A., we're used to cultures clashing and mashing together like nowhere else on Earth – but our latest fashion find recalls a magical time and space waaay outside this city. Edith Palm designer Sarah Aaronson released her new collection, “Le peignoir égyptienne” (translated: “the Egyptian bathrobe”), and we're seriously pining after the show-stopping, Ancient Egyptian wonders. This Saturday, the label's hosting a trunk show featuring their new line, and you'd have to be in some serious de-Nile to think it's okay to miss out.
You can watch the Edith Palm collection come alive in this amazing surrealist-worthy stop-motion vid, but once you're done, you'll definitely want to take a closer look at what's in store, in our gallery ahead. The lovely bespoke pieces, which range from delicate sheer tops to stunning dip-dyed dresses, evoke the scorching heat of Ancient Egypt, while showcasing luxe craftsmanship that even members of the pharaoh's court would've envied. Forget Priscilla: You'll be the new Queen of the Desert in these made-to-measure garments.
When: Saturday, April 28, from 1 to 5 p.m.
Where: RSVP here for the sale location.
