I don’t think I’ll be springing for this Valentino handbag any time soon. It’s available on pre-order at Neiman Marcus for $3,495. The sandals on the …read more

With summer almost here, I’m sure many of you will be heading to the beach and pool. Be sure to protect yourself from the sun with sunscreen, sunglasses and even a wide-brimmed beach hat.
Never spend any time in the sun without sunscreen. Skin cancer is serious and you must protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays. You can also protect your eyes and skin with fashionable accessories.

Sunglasses
Sunglasses are fabulous fashion accessories, particularly right now since the trend is such big, bold glasses. Oversized sunglasses offer UV protection while looking glamorous too. Here are a couple of my favorite oversized sunglasses.
