Over the years, Payless and its shoppers have raised millions of dollars for breast cancer awareness through their “Taking Steps to Fight Breast Cancer” program. This 2009 bracelet features adjustable elastic pink multi-bands with floating silvertoned balls. The highlight of the bracelet is a dangling charm with the iconic breast cancer awareness ribbon.

Purchasing this $2.00 bracelet is a great way to give back to a worthy cause without having to spend a fortune. Pick one up for yourself, or a few to give as gifts. The limited edition bracelets are sold online at payless.com and at local Payless stores.

Also be sure to check out other Payless items that are supporting the cause, including a $1.99 resusable shopping bag and adorable slippers priced at $12.99.

The Valentino Town Sandals that coordinate with the bag are also top notch. They offer bronze metallic leather in a sexy, strappy design.

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 other hand are a little more realistic (though still pricey) at $695.

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.

Tom Ford Raquel Cutout Oversized Sunglasses
These sunglasses feature cut-out sides to enhance their simple shape. You can get these sunglasses, which offer 100% UV protection, at Nordstrom for $380.

Marc Jacobs Oversized Square Sunglasses
If you are looking for a unique pair of sunglasses with a little color, check out these oversized sunglasses from Marc Jacobs. These sunglasses feature tortoise shell frames and red arms to add a little style to your beach look. You can get these glasses for $90.

Giorgio Armani Gemstone Sunglasses
If you want to splurge on a pair of big sunglasses this summer, check out these from Giorgio Armani. They have a little bit of a “bug eyed” look, which is quite trendy these days. You can get these glasses, which feature obsidian gemstone temples, at Neiman Marcus for just under $700.

Beach Hats

A wide-brimmed sun hat can protect your hair, scalp and face from direct sunlight. Hats can be a fun addition to your summer wardrobe.

Kokin Leopard Print Beach Hat
Take a walk on the wild side with this oversized leopard print beach hat. This hat will definitely garner some attention on the beach this summer. You can get this sun hat at Bloomingdale’s for $295.

Helen Kaminski August Silk Scarf Hat
This hat features a silk scarf along the top and a sophisticated design. It comes in off white or black. You can purchase this hat from Nordstrom for $195.

Floppy Straw Hat
For a more economical option, check out this oversized floppy straw hat. This Bloomingdale’s exclusive folds easily and is great for travel. You can get this beach hat for just $38.

Summer Sandals

If you are headed to the beach or pool, don’t forget your cute shoes! Here are some of the summer sandals that we have featured here in recent weeks.

The result is this very unique looking shoe.

The shoe features shiny grey patent leather and a great silhouette. These Mary Jane Slides are both comfortable and chic. You can order them right now at Saks Fifth Avenue for $595.

If you are looking for a complementary bag, Marc Jacobs has one but it’s quite expensive.

The Marc Jacobs Venetia Leather Satchel is $1,025.

A more affordable option is the grey patent Botkier Bella bag from Revolve Clothing at $445.

If you are going to wear grey shoes and accessories this season, pair them bright colored fashions, including red, yellow and jewel tones.
