Ouai Treatment Masque

Credit: Courtesy of Ouai

We’ve long been obsessed with celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin’s Ouai line, which smells like a dream (rose, bergamot, and lychee) and transforms dull, parched hair into silky tresses. Our favorite product in the range, the restorative Treatment Masque, is more travel-friendly than ever now that it’s been released in tube form (as opposed to individual sachets). This is a must for offsetting the moisture-starving effects of sun, chlorine, and saltwater.

There are so many things we love about this aviator-style frame from cool-kid optical brand Mr. Leight — and the rose-colored lenses are just one of them. Inspired by the patterns of traditional Kumiko wood screens and the geometric designs of Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake, the sunnies have perforated titanium rims with decorative details, polarized glass lenses, and acetate inserts.
