Time to get the sunglasses out

Yes, all of this beautiful weather has put me in the mood for talking about something summery, and what fashion accessory screams "SUMMER" more than sunglasses? Both a fashion must have and a sun protection neccesity, every girl knows the importance of finding the right pair of sunglasses, and each girl has her own preferance on which style of sunglasses she prefers. However, you don't want to become a fashion vicitm and pick up anything that is the flavour of the season.

At the moment, it is all about Mary-Kate Olsen, oversized bumblebee glares. However, just because big is in, this look is not for everyone. If you have a classic round face, stay clear of them. Rule number 1: Steer clear of frames that match your face-cut. Instead, opt for sleaker shade, in square or other angular shapes, as this will add length to your face, making it look leaner.

If you have an oval face, go with angles rather then round frames. Bold frames can flatter you and add fullnessto the central portion of your face. Heart shapes can pull off round shapes, but bumblebees are not for you either. This fashion trend is really only suited to square faces, whereas rounded frames are a big no-no for you.

Remember, sunglasses aren't just there to look good, they are also needed to protect your eyes from the sun. Make sure your glasses are atleast 99% UV protected protection.
