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!

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

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

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!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mommies out there! In case you need a last minute mother’s day gifts check out Eyesave.com. Your mom can pick out any pair of sunglasses and you don’t have to pay an expensive price. 

If your mom needs readers, you should sign up for the Readers of the Month Club! I know I am always losing my sunglasses so when I need readers I’ll definitely get this.

It’s time for summer! And you know what that means! The perfect time for summer sunglasses trends to emerge.  I’ll be here reporting on all the trends, plus a couple of the classics that never seem to fade. 

Right now I’m going to enjoy my free shipping from Eyesave.com! I’ve got to get my complete summer look before school’s out and the summer job decides to beat me down.

This pictures cracks me up every time! Well if you are looking for great styled stunner shades to wear for Cinco de Mayo, look no further! And if you want the readers that this guy above is wearing, we’ve got those too.

In honor of this fantastic holiday, I present you with red, green, and white sunglasses! Personally, these are my favorite:

This pair is by Emporio Armani and it also comes in a variety of colors.  I just love the big round frames! Just like Mr. Farmer at the top.

Rock star in the making!

Every child deserves protection from the sun’s harmful rays and super cool style.  Whether we like to realize it or not, how kids dress when they are young reflects what they wear when they are older.  I know for me I still hate to wear shoes, hence my affinity for sandals. My mother remembers the time she had to go searching for that perfect pair of sandals for me…in the dead of winter.  I’m still pretty stubborn about my style, especially when it comes to sunglasses.  For me, they have to be chic yet affordable.  And not the kind that magazines deem affordable.  I’m talking about the pair that lasts forever that you got for cheap down near Canal Street. Those are always my favorite.  Hopefully, I’ll pass on my style to a small little tyke, or rather parents for children through this article!

These are perfect that daddy’s little girl.  The pink is perfect in that girly way for any little princess. The best part is that these have 100% UV protection to protect those precious eyes.  The plaid pattern on the side will help distinguish this pair from all the other sunglasses kids are wearing.  If pink is not baby-girl’s favorite color, the UrbanSpecs Kids Ella style also comes in red and yellow; both have a plaid pattern on the temple. 

These are the Solan style from Julbo.  These are great for that little man who just can’t seem to sit down! He’s always running around outside and getting into all sorts of mischief. They have a cool style so he’ll love them and always want to go outside and play.  Here’s a great plus: the lenses are scratch and impact resistant! That’s perfect for all those outdoor boys. 

This pair from Bolle reminds me of the ones in the photo featured at the top.  This just proves that the wayfarer shape is for anyone, young and old.  While these aren’t really on the cheap end for kids sunglasses, they do provide 100% UV protection and the most optimum clarity.  This way each kid will be protected and still super stylish!

Check out this week’s deal! Got to love Marc by Marc Jacobs!

One of the Olsen twins makes it clear that Aviators are here to stay.  They seem to just never go out of style.  They have that perfect fit for anyone who is in need of a wear-all pair of sunglasses.  These from Burberry are perfect for any season and any face shape.

While these have a brown tint, the very dark, almost black tint on the ones on Olsen are much more chic.  The Burberry ones do make a statement with their various colors. 

The above pair of sunglasses are a super sleek pair from Michael Michael Kors.  This Jet Set Mini Aviator is a polarized frame with adjustable nose pads, suited for complete comfort and style.  I love the detail on the temple that features the Michael Michael Kors logo.  The contrasting temple tips are perfect for comfort and style.

And if you are looking for some bright color this spring, you should check out these from Juicy Couture!

I love bright colors! Which reminds me that these are definitely going to be popular! They go perfectly with those colored jeans.  Can you picture it? A pair of bright colored jeans with a button down shirt and these sunglasses! This is the perfect combination to wear this spring.

Alternate Reality: UrbanSpecs Polarized Aviator, $16.99

Anyone up for some Tom Ford sunglasses? I love the new men’s and women’s lines for this spring! Mr. Ford always has something up his sleeve to set him apart from the competition.  I think it is definitely his effortless style that comes across in all of his designs.  But here the oversized bow frames are gorgeous! I can’t wait to see the rest of this collection!!

This is amazing and now I want the Tom Ford Nico sunglasses. Oi

^And now I have the Nico sunglasses. ;) Blogspot post soon! But for now an instagram teaser:

Sweet shades!! Love the new men’s and women’s collections!!!! Gorgeous!

I still love these after all this time.  No matter how the styles change I always tend to find my favorite pair of sunglasses.  They’ve weathered so many seasons with me.  The rough surf at the Jersey Shore to the sunshiny beaches of Myrtle Beach, these have seen it all.  I might be due for a new pair because mine are pretty beat up.  It probably would have helped me to keep them in a case, but every girl needs those knock-around sunglasses that you just throw in your bag and whip them out just in time to fend off harmful UV rays. 

The metal detail on the side of the frame is perfect for any fashionista wanting to add a little bit of flair to her personal style.  I love these and wear them all the time because they are a little different from the boring wayfarer.  Don’t get me wrong I love the Ray Ban Wayfarer style but sometimes a girl just needs to jazz it up a bit. 

You can get these and a few other stylish sunglasses just in time for the spring sunshine at Eyesave.com.
