I ended up picking up some fabulous $12 orange sunglasses that now are permanently attached to my face during the drive home. These glasses are fun, they’re gaudy, glitzy, and glam, but not the type that I usually pick up. I’m usually that girl that gets the black or brown sunglasses.

Neiman Marcus

But, you have to break from your mold every now and then! Have fun! Do something different! It’s summer time! Take a risk! Try out these Dior Diorissma Sunglasses from Neiman Marcus for $295. They’re plastic, so be careful that the dog doesn’t get a hold of them or they’ll break. The red is just fantastic for the risk taker in all of us.

Gaudy But Glam Sunglasses of the Weekend

You can shop from Bvlgari sunglasses from their website, or from a variety of department stores and boutiques around the world. Here are two of my current favorites.

These Bvlgari red sunglasses feature a mother of pearl effect on the frame and gradient grey lenses. The delicate arms offer intricate details embellished with Swarovski crystals.

For a completely different look, these rectangular sunglasses feature brown frames with a Parentesi design in Swarovski crystals. Priced at $470, these gorgeous Bvlgari sunglasses look like they are worth every cent.

Beautiful Bvlgari Sunglasses

Versace Oversized Sunglasses

One of the nicest features of these pretty Versace shades is the cool detailing along the arms. They’ve got kind of a crisscross formation, highlighted by what looks like crystals. If you want more variety, you can get the shades in tortoise and shiny black, both featuring brown gradient lenses. For those of you who are as in love with these specs as I am, you can order them online from SunglassHut.com for $220.
