Eugenia Kim designs beautiful handmade luxury hats that are unique and fashionable, but also extremely wearable.  While a lot of famous hat designers create exaggerated statement pieces that might only look good on Lady Gaga, Eugenia Kim’s designs fit into the lifestyle of a real woman.

We won’t know which Eugenia Kim hats will be available on Gilt Groupe until the sale starts at 9am, so here are a few of my favorites from her full-priced collection at Net-A-Porter online.

Oliver Peoples Zooey $350

Oliver Peoples is one of my favorite sunglasses designers because they offer simple classic styles with amazing quality that are appropriate for women of all ages.  I wear both their sunglasses and prescription eyewear because the fit is amazing and I like that the designs are uncomplicated and have a tiny hidden logo.  I am crossing my fingers that the fabulous Zooey sunglasses designed by Zooey Deschanel will be on sale.

If you are not yet a Gilt Groupe convert, you can use my invitation to become a member and find out more about their designer flash sales.

Marc Jacobs Round Wayfarer in Dark Green $118 (reg. $330)

The Marc Jacobs sunglasses featured in the sale have thick colorful plastic frames and oversized lenses, which goes along with the styles that were popular this summer.  Many of the styles feature flashy embellishments along the temple sides with semi-precious stone mosaics, tortoise shell and gold buckles, and metal inlays.  I’m not usually a big fan of chunky pieces along the temple, but of course Marc Jacobs pulls it off.

A lot of these sunglasses styles are very unique and unlike any of the Marc Jacobs sunglasses that I saw at stores this season…

Earlier this weekend they had a Contemporary Summer Accessories sale. I caved, I bought a pair of DVF Diana Flats. And now, they have some snazzy and ridiculously cheap Ali Ro and Lauren Moffatt items on sale. Unlike some other sites, Gilt Groupe starts their sales off with all sizes. But be prepared to quick fire shop. The sizes do go quickly.But, there is a waitlist. Which is great! So, here’s a preview of some of my favorite items that just recently began.

Ali Ro High Waisted Pencil Skrt ($64)

Lauren Moffatt Silk Lazy Line Painter Jane Dress ($128)

I have been posting a lot about sales on Gilt Groupe lately because I think it’s a really great site, but if you are unfamiliar with it you can check it out with my invitation.

The Paul Smith sunglasses featured at Gilt Groupe are on sale until Sunday, July 5 at midnight.  I love the colored plastic frames with oversized lenses.  Here are my picks from the sale:

Paul Smith Gradient Sunglasses in Purple $108 (reg. $325)

I love this color!  Unique and vibrant colors are in this summer, so these are an amazing price for a great style.

Paul Smith Aviator Frames $98 (reg. $325)

This a great verions of the classic black plastic aviator that is in style this summer.  These are similar to the Carrera sunglasses that are so popular in Europe.

Paul Smith Oversized Square Sunglasses $98 (reg. $325)

Again, a ridiculous price for designer Paul Smith sunglasses.  I love the color combination in these with the deep forest green and the amber tortoise shell.  These are a smaller size so they would fit on many face shapes.

If you are drawn to simple wireless frames and delicate wire frames with colored lenses, then you will love the Barton Perreira sunglasses.

Barton Perreira Fair Lady $108 at Gilt Groupe (reg. $475)

These thin gold titanium frames with gradient grey lenses are a classic look that works for all ages.  The great aspect of metal frames is that the nosepads can be adjusted for maximum comfort and fit.

Barton Perreira Dame $108 at Gilt Groupe (reg. $575)

These oversized square rimless colored lenses are beautifully delicate.  The silver or gold frames pair with praline, purple, or carmel gradient lenses.

Here are my picks from the Proenza Schouler and Robert Marc sunglasses sale that is going on now:

Image: Gilt Groupe

Proenza Schouler Oversized Square Metal Bridge Sunglasses $98 (reg. $310)

I love these black simple square plastic sunglasses with just a hint of metal on the bridge and temple.  This oversized square style is very popular right now so this is a really great price!

Image: Gilt Groupe

Proenza Schouler Classic Wayfarer $98 (orig. $310)

These are a slightly different take on the traditional wayfarer style with smaller round lenses and metal details along the temple.  I like the white and silver color combination in the frames.

Image: Gilt Groupe

Robert Marc Nicole $138 (orig. $465)

What a great price!  I love the translucent light burgundy acetate frames and the elliptical lenses.
