Trust Me, These Under-$30 Frames Are So Much More Than a Cute Accessory


As a freelance journalist, I spend all day in front of my computer. (Psst . . . when I say all day, I mean it! I am usually online before the sun comes up and close my laptop shortly before bedtime.) But, as much as I love my job, I have to admit that spending so much time in front of the screen can give me a big headache . . . or make my eyes feel super strained . . . or make it hard for me to wind down after a long workday. There are a lot of measures I take to stay in top shape during the workweek: I go for walks outside, drink plenty of water, and exercise regularly. But, my favorite? These Peepers by PeeperSpecs Oversized Blue Light Filtering Reading Glasses ($26, originally $27).

There's a reason why Peepers glasses have graced Oprah's Favorite Things List year after year. You see, all screens - be it your television, tablet, smartphone, and, yes, computer - emit blue light. We might be used to small doses of blue light here and there, but too much can strain your eyes, cause headaches, and make it more difficult to fall sleep.

Fortunately, Peepers glasses feature proprietary, blue-light blocking lenses that work overtime to alleviate headaches and those tired, strained eyes. Plus, each pair has UV400 protection, a dual anti-scratch lens, as well as a seven-layer, anti-reflective coating. (Translation? These glasses are built to last.) Though Peepers glasses offer a prescription-free way to protect your eyes, you can select a magnification strength should your eyes need extra oomph.

While the blue light-blocking design is the main attraction, I have to admit they're pretty fun to wear, too. Though Peepers has a selection of subtler options - round, rectangular, thin-framed (you name it, they have it) - I picked up this ultradramatic set of oversize, tortoise glasses. As someone who has always wanted to wear glasses - but never needed to - I love how these glasses are extra in the best way possible. Another thing to love about Peepers glasses is the fit. This pair comfortably stays on my face without being too tight or restricting. (It's basically the Goldilocks of glasses.)

Best of all? They're super affordable. Though the price of Peepers glasses varies by style and color, you can find most pairs for under $30. (I don't know about you, but I've definitely spent more on sunglasses, which I only wear for a fraction of the time.) So, if you want to upgrade your WFH setup or pick up something for your screen-savvy inner circle, I couldn't recommend these more.

(Psst . . . since these frames are eligible for expedited shipping with an Amazon Prime membership, they could make for a great, last-minute stocking stuffer. Just sayin'.)

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
