Cheap Sunglasses that Don't Look Cheap

Let it be known, I love cheap sunglasses. Nothing beats the amusement of walking up to an open rack of shades and trying every single pair on. Some of the sunglasses are of the variety that make my friends crack up just by donning them and some are the kind I could seriously wear. The beauty of inexpensive sunglasses is that you can have a variety and if they get lost it's no big deal. The cruelty of life is that I can't wear cheap sunglasses. Being a prescription glasses wearing girl I have to buy frames that will hold up to putting the prescription lenses in. Few cheap sunglasses frames are up to the task. Le sigh...well at least I can peruse endless amounts of inexpensive frames online. Most of the ones I am drawn to are tortoise shell they look instantly posh. The floral ones on the bottom are just because.

Fashion Finds: My New Favorite Hat

An ideal hat; flatters, protects and adds an air of mystery.
A couple weeks ago while I was fashion daydreaming I created this drawing of my ideal hat.  Wide brim deep cocoa color and thick band.  This is what I craved before I even went looking anywhere in store or online.  Hats are everywhere now, but even with the profusion of hat styles flooding the accessory market I have trouble finding the right one. Why?  Because they don't always fit my pint size (but larger than child size) head.  I need a hat that comes in sizes.  My last hat, a navy blue fedora, from J. Crew is a S/M and works perfectly for my petite noggin.  After the frustration of searching in store, I turned to online shopping.  There was an exhaustive search, but I finally found it.
