Mirrored sunglasses are popping up all over the place this season, and it seems designers just can’t get enough of this fun trend. Ever since I purchased my Ray Ban mirrored aviators last summer, I’ve had a hard time convincing myself to wear a different pair. The shape of the aviators are universally flattering and the pop of color adds a little style to every look. The glasses also give a hint of mystery, since no one can see where you are really looking. I’m loving these Karen Walker glasses with the ultra-round lenses, and I think these Wildfox heart-shaped glasses are a must-have for the summer. What do you think of these mirrored sunnies?

Growing up an hour from the Florida coast, I spent every weekend on the boat soaking in the summer rays. I practically lived in bikinis and the idea of sunscreen seemed optional, rather than necessary, since I tanned easily and never burned. As I got older, I began to understand the importance of protecting my skin. We read all the time how sunscreen will protect our skin from wrinkles and sun spots, but my sisters and I learned the hard way that the sun can cause much more damage than what meets the eye. After losing our father to melanoma in 2010, we decided to take serious action to protect our skin. As a girl who was constantly bronzed in all the warm seasons, the idea of being “pale” was a little difficult to get used to, so I took action and tested out a plethora of fake tanning methods. Though I always love a good spray tan, I occasionally leave looking more like a pumpkin than a beach babe. While the Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer is great for slowly building a base color, I am more of an instant tan kind of gal. After a few failed attempts of store bought tanning lotions, Blair discovered this Sun Laboratories Ultra Dark Self Tanning Lotion and I instantly fell in love. This endless jug of Caribbean color will give you a fresh glow in a matter of minutes and continues to soak in over a few hours, leaving your skin streak-free and perfectly bronzed after a quick shower. We’ve shared this little secret with our friends in Dallas, but now it’s time to share it with all of you. Go ahead and give it a shot. Trust us, you will not be disappointed.
