I always wear a hat which works well for the sun coming down, but the glare off the snow is almost unbearable. Do you love your running sunglasses? Are there any that transition from running to everyday wear? Most of them look so sporty/surfer-ish.
I've been big on Native Eyewear (http://www.nativeyewear.com) since my beach patrol days, because they have a very good warranty policy. I have a couple styles that aren't made any more, and I also have a pair with interchangeable lenses that I think are the Dash XP's. (I don't like riding my bike w/o glasses in case of bugs, gravel, etc., but dark sunglass lenses aren't always right for the light.) They all have no-slip nose pads that I really like. I just wish they made more styles for smaller profiles.
I think Oakley has a women's line that might be worth checking out. I feel like with them you're paying at least partly for the name, but if they have more styles for your face size it may be worth it.
I currently wear a pair of "regular" sunglasses for both running and every day wear. I really need to get a separate pair, but like you, want something that is as sporty looking as more running glasses are. I'll be stalking this thread for ideas.
I've been wearing my Old Navy every day ones but they slide around my nose. Also, @sessalee I love those! Here is the question, my ON ones are like that and when it is cold like this, my breathe fogs them up because they come so far down on my face, if that makes sense. Does that happen with those?

I have a cheapie pair of Ironman sunglasses that I got at Academy that I really like. I don't know if its the same manufacturer as the Ironman ones from Target, but I had 2 from there that fell apart. Maybe I just for lucky with the Academy ones.

I have a pair from Target that are weirdly perfect for running, they don't move around at all. I bought them for fashion and then relegated them to sports when I got a nicer pair, so obviously I think they're not too sporty. They're a wayfarer style, not sure if that makes a difference in them staying put, and the material isn't shiny, slippery plastic which is probably more relevant. They're not these, but the fact that these are called "rubberized" makes me think it might be the same material: www.target.com/p/two-tone-rubberized-surf-sunglasses-black/-/A-14364213#prodSlot=large_2_3

I like the versatility of wayfarers. They can work with a range of looks. Ray Bans happen to fit me well, but I guess it's really going to be specific to everyone's particular face whether they will look good and stay put when running.
I have a pair of Coach prescription ones that I bought for everyday where, but they are tight enough on my face for running. They are very similar to THESE but not quite as cat eye-y.
I also love THESE for running. They are Oakley and much more sporty, but still great. Mine are not open on the bottom, but they probably don't make mine anymore. Oakley also has ones that are more fashioned style, but still tight so they don't budge while running.
