I've always wanted a nice pair of name brand sunglasses. Something that was classy but not too over-the-top and it wouldn't cost a small fortune either. A couple of weeks ago, Gilt Groupe, (see my post about them here) sent out a mass e-mail alerting their members to the upcoming Kate Spade sale. I had purchased other Kate Spade products from Gilt Groupe in the past and have always been more than pleased with my purchases so I was extremely excited to learn that it would be the sunglasses this time around.

On the Gilt Groupe website there were about 30 different pairs to choose from with the lenses and frames ranging in various colors and designs. Some of the choices to choose from were purple, pink, brown or black lenses and frames, just to give you an idea of the variety that was offered. Which believe it or not makes it quite difficult to choose just one pair. Ha Ha! Anyway, I knew I had a budget to stick with so I chose the Evan Square frames. I chose them not only for their cost (I think these were about $45-$50) but also for their size and wear-ability as well. In other words, the sunglasses will pretty much match any outfit that I own and they are nice enough to been worn in a professional setting too.

P.S. I love the green leather bag that came with these sunglasses! A definite "Must Buy" more in my book if they are ever offered again!
