Vacations, vacations, vacations

So I don’t know about yall but I am definitely down for vacation.  I am currently on a sort of vacation right now. In case you couldn’t tell, I am not from NYC originally, in fact I live across the river.  Don’t knock it quite yet.  As a commuter into the city (which some of you are, don’t deny it, I see you on the PATH train there), I am always on the look out for interesting sunglasses to share.  Most of the time, I see the classic Ray Bans and aviator styles.  Just to let you know there are other styles out there, so don’t be shy.  Let the summer vacation be the place to show your stuff! Check these out!

Cat-Eye for Women:

Personally, I’ve grown to love the cat-eye style that Tom Ford presented last year.  Well, let the trend continue!

Tom Ford Nikita

These are the frames I was talking about from Tom Ford.  I love these, but they are from last year.

Yves St. Laurent

These are more like it! Yves Saint Laurent has the classic style of cat-eye with a little twist. The cheetah print on the plastic as well as the gold arms of the sunglasses make the perfect combination!

For the Boys: Squarish Frames

Gucci

This pair from Gucci is super chic, for the boys.  I love the thicker side arms and the boldness they create.  If you can find a pair with a bright color on the inside, it would make the sunglasses much more bold! And you’d stand out from all the other boring guys in black shades.  Plus, you can let your aviators rest for a bit before putting them back on for work. 

Remember that vacations are your friend! Take a vacation! You definitely deserve one, plus you can try out your new sunglasses.  Like a test drive, but for your sunglasses.

P.S.

Take a picture in your awesome shades and share with me! I just might make a post all about you!

Sandra Bullock always seems to take everything in stride.  Even in The Blind Side, she fiercely puts on her sunglasses and walks away.  As we celebrate this lady’s amazing style, we also wish her a happy birthday! 

I love the Gucci 3034 sunglasses she sports in her movie The Blind Side.  Her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy was brilliant.  Above are clips from my favorite part where she shows that she can get the job done better than anyone else. And the way she puts on her shades and walks away is the icing on the cake.
