Every fashionista wants to look good wherever the summer breeze takes them, and we all know that the smallest accessory can make the big difference.  A cute pair of sandals isn’t the only thing you are going to want when you take off for a day at the beach.  Don’t forget your favorite pair of funky sunglasses… a summer must-have.

Luckily, these eye-catching shades in every shape, size, and color (and price range).  Looking to accessorize and make a huge statement?  You’re bound to run into a little romance with these red hot Lolita heart-shaped frames ($7.56). They are great for any true girly girl.  Searching for a little blast from the past?  Grab a pair of these funky cat eye glasses from Etsy ($37.00) to add to your vintage wardrobe. Their purple and green frames will add a little color and a classic style to any summer outfit. 

If that isn’t enough color for you, then you can look fresh bringing back the 80’s with these 1980’s retro lenses ($18.00). You’ll definitely show off your inner diva with these vibrant shades available in Glowing Orange, Electric Blue, Yellow Submarine, and Hot Pink.  Buy them all and have a color for every look outfit.  Whatever your preference is, your summer outfit won’t be complete until you pick up your own pair… or three!
