4 Must-Have Fashion and Beauty Essentials For Thriving In Joshua Tree
If you’ve spent any time in southern California, I’m sure you’ve heard of the celeb-favorite getaway to Joshua Tree National Park. The otherworldly high desert travel destination has built up an impressive reputation for beautiful views including stunning Mars-like rock formations and unique vegetation. As a California newbie, I’ve been dying to see the iconic destination for myself, and recently I did just that.
Eyebuydirect, a popular online destination for affordable prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses, recently launched its RFLKT Desert Dreaming collection, and I attended a quick desert getaway in celebration of the new launch on behalf of WWW. I fell in love with the range of stunning frames from the collection, so I decided to share some personal favorites and other must-have essentials for a luxe desert getaway ahead. Shop everything from buildable, chic layers to desert-friendly beauty recommendations ahead.

Sunglasses
Yes, sunnies get their own category—they’re that important. Whether you’re on a hike through the gorgeous terrain or taking a dip in a pool, your eyes need protection from the intense desert sun. As a daily eyeglass wearer, I’ve become a bit of an expert in the category. Whether you need a prescription pair or not, the pairs from Eyebuydirect’s Desert Dreaming collection are so versatile and crafted with sustainable materials. On top of that, you can customize the frames with virtually any lens shade or color you want.
Buildable Layers
From traversing Joshua Tree’s Mars-like landscape to dining at places like celeb-favorite Pappy and Harriets, you’ll need a range of buildable, stylish layers to take on any activities. Mix and match pieces like a sweatshirt, leather jacket, or oversized button-down for night and day.
