SUNGLASS HUNT

Designer trends this year-what's old is new again!
Whether you spend a small fortune on a pair of designer sunglasses or find a clever look alike, sunglasses are the ultimate summer fashion accessory. They protect your eyes from the sun's harmful rays, and look fantastic too! 


I am still mourning a pair of Tom Ford Whitney sunglasses (a big splurge!) that I accidently left in a taxi cab.  In the market for a new pair, I thought it would be fun to see what celebrities are sporting this summer and a few big trends appeared-


Gwyneth Paltrow

Classically framed Aviators are hot this season.  Remember Tom Cruise in Top Gun?  The wire rimmed, dark lensed sunglasses have a teardrop shape that seems to flatter nearly everyone's face.

Bigger the better-hello dahling! Oversized and super chic shades first became popular with Jackie Onassis, who favored round large frames.  I am a huge fan of big shades-they are so glamorous and offer great protection from the sun.

Ray-Ban Wayfayers-retro favorite of young celebs like Sienna Miller, the Wayfarer is a super sporty frame that comes in classic black as well as lots of fun, bright colors. Once popular in the 50's and early 60's (remember Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's ?), this frame made a huge comeback in the 80's. I love the Wayfarer, but I think that if you rocked a pair in the 80's (like me) you should take a pass on wearing them today!

So many fabulous choices.  So little summer! What's your favorite shade?
