Prada Wavy Temple Sunglasses $245

From the front these sunglasses have a classic vintage look with thick acetate frames and oversized round lenses.  The side of the frame reveals a unique wavy temple detail with a silver stripe.  My favorite pair has a thin purple rim inside the black frames and violet gradient lenses.

Prada Butterfly Sunglasses $245

I gushed over these sunglasses back in April when I first spotted them on every celebrity in LA, but I couldn’t resist an opportunity to mention them again paired with the Wavy Temple Sunglasses.  Prada took the classic oversized acetate black sunglasses and made a tiny wiggle in the side of the lens to create a beautiful butterfly-inspired design.

Again, how creative, subtle, unique, and successful.  I must have these.  Oh to be a Prada designer…

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…

Betsey Johnson “Vintage” Oversized Sunglasses $85

Betsey Johnson is pretty new on the sunglasses scene so I haven’t had a lot of experience with her designs, but these are a definite hit!  This style is exactly keyed into what is fashionable right now.  I also completely love that these sunglasses are only $85.  At under $100 you’re not going to get complete UV protection (these only offer 60% UVA Protection and 95% UVB Protection) but they are great as a fashionable item.

Fendi Rose-Detailed Oval Sunglasses

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 only $24.

With contoured arms and UV protected gradient lenses, how can you resist a pair of shades that are so cute yet so fantastic for your pocket book?

If you’re into a calmer, cooler style, take a look at these Women’s Aviator Sunglasses from Old Navy. They’ve got metal frames and UV protected gradient lenses. Who doesn’t love this simple and classic style?

Additionally, you can get the shades with a red metal frame and red tinted lenses. Order these online for an amazing price of just $9.50.

Looking for drama? Take a look at these Dana Buchman Snakeskin Sunglasses. These sassy shades have a cute oval shape to their frames which kind of have a retro feel to them. Then, along the arms we have a crazy snakeskin design which makes the sunglasses so fun to look at.

The color shown above is natural but you can also get them in gray and brown. The shades are actually on sale right now at Kohl’s. Original price was $36 but now you’ll get them for $25.

The AE Breeze Sunglasses are perfect for the spring and summer when you want to hit the beach or spend the whole day doing what girls like to do (shopping!).  The frame is a fab square, oversized shape. Along the edges of the frame you’ll see some gold accents that really give the shades more dimension.

Another great thing about the sunglasses is that they’re really versatile. You can wear them with a sundress, with jeans or with anything really. Order them online for $19.50 from the online American Eagle store.

Fashionable Shades to Fit Your Budget

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 and brown-silver with silver detailing. All of them feature gradient lenses.

You can order these from FramesDirect.com for $325.60.

Nicole Scherzinger in Cavalli Sunglasses

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 get a hard case included. What’s not to love?

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 at the temples on the V903, which has a thicker plastic frame. Both are priced at $375.
