4 Must-Haves Under $50 for Summer

Every summer you’ll get this list and plus-or-minus it doesn’t change less a quick switch with something that is more pressing…like sunscreen. This summer’s list of must-haves is easy: a simple tee, handheld bag, sunscreen, and sunglasses.

An Eyeful of Chloe

I am lusting after these sunglasses by Chloe, the Carlina. I have a few pairs of Chloe sunnies and they are all characteristically round and slightly oversized but not so much that they eat up all of your face! They will remain on my Wish List until I can not break into a cold sweat when purchasing them (here). In the meantime, the round, slightly oversized, feminine, rose gold and brown, eclipse-looking sunnies will have to get some shade!

Pay Yourself to Shop

Sounds weird right? But it’s true ~ since you’re shopping, why not get a little back for what you spend?! If you shop using Ebates, you will! I discovered Ebates while at a conference earlier this year and even though I scooped these Chloe shades for nothing (gifted), I was enthralled by the concept of getting something more than a bill for shopping {sheepish grin}. Ok, so next you’re wondering if the stores you shop are available using ebates and

Giving Shade to the other Sunglasses

Blueprint for Style believes style dollars should not be blown on items that can either by sat on and destroyed, or dropped between a car seat and lost forever. With that said, I am a lover of sunglasses that have panache, great coloring, complimentary shapes, and wonderful coverage….Oliver Peoples, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Costume National, and Tom Ford are stellar examples! Right now, Tom Ford sunglasses are on sale at Beyond the Rackand although the price tag is pricey at

Sunglasses: The Ultimate In Giving People “Shade”

So sunglasses are the ultimate “I’m cool” accessory – they can say so much like “I’m cool and definitely know it”, “Not sure what the big deal is but I only wear them so I don’t squint”, “I don’t want to be seen”….and the list goes on. Whatever they say, you determine it by their shape, size, shading/gradient, material, and embellishments.
