I love sunglasses! They are probably my all time favorite fashion accessory. They have definite functional and fashion benefits which makes them an essential part of any wardrobe. They protect our eyes from sunburn and prevent early wrinkles by helping us avoid squinting. A good pair of shades can be used to glam up any outfit, enhance your features and flaunt new trends without getting overwhelmed. In short, sunglasses help you make an individual style statement and stay in vogue! I own five pairs of sunglasses and I am still drooling over the styles below! These sunglasses are a perfect way to dial up your cool quotient this summer. I already brought…
