Prada has produced two unique must-have sunglasses designs this summer:  the  Prada Butterfly Sunglasses and the Wavy Temple Sunglasses.  Both of these designs take the vintage oversized Jackie-O inspired acetate frame and infuse it with a creative little twist to create a stunning and recognizable shape that is sure to become iconic.  I absolutely love both of these styles and applaud the creativity to create a sunglasses design that is so classic, yet subtely unique.

I wrote a few months ago about my Top 5 Sunglasses Styles for Summer.  The Betsey Johson Octagonal Sunglasses are pretty amazing because they fit in four of the categories:  Bold Colors, Vintage, Unique Shape, and Oversized.  These oversized frames have a really unique design.  The resin frames are black with a beautiful marbled texture in a dark turquoise (they call it “jade”) at the edges of the lens and wrapping around the temple.  I’ve never seen this style before by another designer!  There is also the tiniest fuschia heart at the temple as a logo.

These vintage-inspired Fendi Rose-Detailed Oval Sunglasses are just gorgeous!  I love everything about them.  The oversized frames are acetate in a translucent plum color with the most delicate etching of tiny roses along the front of the frame.  The oval-shaped lenses are oversized and in a smoky brown shade.  These sunglasses are understated and elegant with small details and delicate colors.  The vintage and subtle styles of this design are exactly what I am interested in this summer.  No more huge logos and rhinestones!

Spring is approaching so we’ll be in need of beautiful sunglasses more and more (yay!).  Having a variety of shades to choose from is ideal, but sometimes cost can get in the way. Here are some fabulous shades to make spring and summer that much more fun and affordable!
These Octagon Sunglasses from Urban Outfitters are bright and playful. Their sunny color is complimentary to the unique shape. I love the octagonal design! This look is young and fresh and unbelievably chic. If the dandelion color is not your thing you can also get an edgier look with black frames for …read more

Lead singer of girl group, the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger was seen in these extravagant Roberto Cavalli Sunglasses. They’re the RC 443S Perla sunglasses and they’re meant for someone, like Nicole, who wants to stand out and be noticed.
This is one of the newer RC styles and it’s one of my favorite. It’s got beautiful metal detailing along the temple and front of the frame. Those are little snakes (Roberto Cavalli loves using snakes on their shades) along the temple.
The round, oversized frame looks great on her! This style also comes in other beautiful colors including silver-black with gold detailing …read more

These sunglasses are perfect for the girl who likes to look super feminine. On sale right now are these all pink Derek Lam “Emma” Sunglasses. They’ve got beautiful, round plastic frames and pink gradient lenses which are 100% UV protected.
These shades are great. The design itself is not too overwhelming and would look cute on the beach or in the mall. However, I understand that this color is definitely not for everyone. Too much pink for you? Try out the ones in black, chianti or tortoise-green. Down from $320, you can get these for $146.25 right now. Plus, you’ll also …read more

Go for something unique this spring! John Varvatos has released two new men’s sunglasses for spring, which will be released at the end of March. The two styles, shown below, are the V902 (top) and the V903 (bottom).
These shades were created to celebrate the opening of the John Varvatos boutique on the grounds of the music club, CBGB.
They are both limited edition styles and are only available in Solid Midnight Black. I’d also like to point out that if you look closely, you’ll be able to see the studding along the top of the frame on the V902 and studding …read more
