Sunglasses, like lipstick, tends to change everything. Finding the right shade (punny right?) isn’t as difficult as you may think. As a matter of fact, there are no wrong choices when it comes to picking cool sunnies. Big and strange are as much acceptable as flattering and classic.

The general idea is to find glasses that flatter your face, but true fashionistas tends to skew away from conventional wisdom. We prefer the esthetic of something that offers ‘eye-popping’ intrigue. Generally, we are suckers for anything a bit different– from a cat-eye to a bright colored lenses.

Heading over to Neiman Marcus we found an entire assortment of glasses from cool indie brands like Kyme, Smoke x Mirrors and Prism.  Some of our favorites include, these Prism rimless rose gold frames for the seeing impaired or fashionable intellectuals, these Kyme flared-brow sunglasses have great lines and are also majorly on sale and these indigo lens sunglasses from Smoke x Mirrors are insanely beautiful. 

Online shoppers should take advantage of the free shipping and free returns offered by Neiman Marcus. If only all stores had such a great selection and were as easy to shop as Neiman Marcus.

Even as we shop for the hottest discounts it’s hard to ignore all the new arrivals coming into stores. We always like to take this opportunity to fall in love. After all, there’s nothing like living happily ever after with your sweetest desires.

Heading to Nordstrom’s newest additions, we started browsing and falling in love over and over again. We are especially taken buy JW Anderson’s collection, which features orbiting layers of colors. We also can’t get enough of Nordstrom’s edgy selection of Rick Owens jackets. Everyone Uptown and Downtown must own a funnel collar biker jacket like this or this.

Moving on to accessories and shoes, check out MCM’s new minimalistic shapes that add a bit of sophistication to the label that’s better known for it’s all-over logo. Alexander Wang is jumping on the guitar (bag) strap accessory trend. Check out this version with studs and grommets. Those attracted to Red Bull-like wings should direct their attention to Christian Louboutin’s Samotresse sandals or the Victorina flames. Talk about hot!

As always, online shoppers should take advantage of Nordstrom’s free shipping and free returns. If only all stores were as easy to shop as Nordstrom.
