With the spring time heat-wave that's sweeping the country, I thought it would be a great time to round up the best shades to shield your peepers from the sun. This season, it seems like the retro Ray-Ban wayfarer style is the chic shade of choice for celebrities such as Beyonce and Jessica Alba. Although, my favorite styles are the classic oversized Jackie-O shades, I have entertained the idea of trying something new for those bright, sunny days. No matter what your style preference, a great pair of sunglasses can instantly make you look pulled together even if you're not wearing a bit of makeup!
What's your favorite frame style? Oval, Rectangular, Color-Tinted, Cat Eye, Aviators, Oversized, or something in between?

I love love LOVE shades. And not just to be all chic and stylish but to protective my eyes---they tend to be sensitive to light. I can't even jog outside w/o shades. I'd love to invest in the pricier ones but I am forever loosin' them so $10 or less it is!
I love shades. I love the way they compliment my face, and just set the rest of the out-fit off.
I love whatever looks good on me. LOL! Nice shades though.
My faves are the Jackie-O big hide your face style. I like to pretend to be incognito.
I really dig oversized frames. They took a while to grow on me, but I'm hooked now. I also like animal print (usually leopard) frames.
BGG, I love the look of sunglasses but when I wear them I find myself trying to look out the sides. I feel like someone has turned the lights out on me! ahahaha Yes, I have issues. I do think they complete a look though so I suffer through it. I love cat eye glasses. Go figure!
Awesome post. I love big round shades but always end up with aviator/wrap-around types. Congrats on the Sam Fine interview!
cute! it's so hard for me to find shades that look good on me. i'll try some of these out.
I love the oversize Jackie O inspired glasses, but try as I may I never seem to be able to pull them off!!!!
i love big oval shades...i think they tend to look best on my face...not really feeling the wayfarers...tres 80's
Great pix as always BGG... I am definitely going to look into a couple of these.
The colored ones are super cool...
nice post...i like my color-tinted shades
Hi BGG!!! I got my Vaseline Aloe Body Gel today and I can't thank you enough!! I look forward to trying it out!!
As far as shades go, like one of the ladies mentioned, I have to try them on and see how they fit on my face. I can't judge by the size of the lenses. And as many lenses as I go through, I couldn't imagine paying close to $300 for a pair. I'd be sick if I lost them!!!
im loving the AX shades
aviators are my lens of choice
@Miss Mika - So glad you received your Vaseline Gel Oil! Enjoy! :-)
@Naki - Thanks for your compliments!!
Now we all understand why Jackie love the her glasses.
I have a similar pair and I love them.
My faves are the Armani glasses.
My favs are the Jackie O's and the Armani Exchange...I love, love, love shades!
I found a website which is an Optical Lab that probably has the lowest priced sunglasses, glasses and eyeglasses at http://www.SimplyEyeglasses.com. They provide sun glasses, safety eyeglasses, eyewear, eye glasses with prescriptions lens. They have the biggest selection of prescription sunglasses, prescription glasses, prescription eyeglasses, and prescription safety glasses. When I bought my pair of glasses and had a question about them they responded to my email right away. I highly recommend them to anyone.
I'm not a fan of Janet's sunglasses, but I like the other three. Beyonce's are great. Are they Ray Ban?
