We’re riding on the coat tails of summer right now, and what better way to bring in the season than with some hot sunglasses?

You can’t have a collection of sunglasses without owning a pair of iconic wayfarers.

They’re favorites of Kanye and Pharrell who go for the classic look while adding in their own flavor.  Ray-Ban makes a mean pair!

Women:

Next up, oversized sunglasses. All you bomb chicks out there better not leave the house this summer without first copping a pair.

You rarely see Bey and Halle without a pair when they’re out shopping or jet-setting, or just blocking out the pesky papparazzi.  And Bey’s been rocking some interesting cat eye oversized sunglasses lately which are pretty hot! Here are a few pairs to bring out that inner Sasha Fierce:

Aviators will always be a constant for sunglasses fanatics.  They give off both a classic yet trendy vibe without overpowering the face.

Luda’s always donning a pair, and Cassie keeps it funky with her vintage Cazal’s and her hair.  Who knows?  Maybe Luda will be giving Cassie tips on how to keep that line-up sharp.

Vintage frames are definitely going to keep you stylin like the best of em:

Solange and big brother-n-law, Jay-Z aren’t strangers to the retro sunglasses game and both stay effortlessly fly!

And lastly, something we can’t stress enough this season. Color!  For those of us who have the luxury of hitting up the beaches this summer, put a little fun in your eyewear like Rih Rih and Amber Rose.

You can get a few ideas with these pairs:

PS: Is it just me, or has Amber been out of the limelight lately?  I guess we have to wait until another major fashion week.

Until next time!

Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta star Sheree Whitfield finally debuted her line She by Sheree last night:

Sheree went for classic silhouettes in muted colors like gray and black, and chose fabrics like satin, fur and chiffon. Seemingly simple designs were amped up with chunky jewelry and Southern flair:

Looks very Baby Phat, no?
Will you be rocking She by Sheree?

A few instances of chic from this week:

I love Michelle’s top. She’s always a winner in my book!

Who’s your pick?

Log on to Honeymag.com to peep their latest obsession:

Fanny Packs!

They say, “Not only did the pelvic purse serve as hands-free storage for your Lip Smackers (that waxy gloss that ended up all over his face instead of your lips), Walkman, and Gameboy, it was nothing short of a fashion necessity.” Read more here.

A handful of Fashion Bomb worthy celebs crept out last night for Maxim’s Annual Hot 100 Celebration. Some were looking hot and others, hmm…

Ciara took a risk, rocking clean cornrows with a strapless blue satin dress with a black belt and pumps. Though some may say cornrows should stay off the carpet, I applaud her courageous fashion spirit…hot!

Actress Dania Ramirez also went for strapless in a metallic number topped off with hot blue embellished pumps. Might we have a new style star on our hands? Hot!

Elise Neal kept the blue theme going in a turquoise spandex number. Toned shoulders and a subdued gold sandal makes this look hot!

Beauty Gabrielle Union chose a predictable Herve Leger dress and simple jewels for the fete. I’m totally over Herve Leger Gabby! Hmm…

Kim Kardashian looked simple in an off white thigh grazer brought to life by black accessories. Kim could make a sack look sexy, but what really makes her look hot is her alluring eye makeup. I’m taking notes!

Lastly crooner Raphael Saadiq stunted in a quirky red creation with a light pink button down and patterned tie. Though he blends with the carpet, I admire his unique steez. Hot!
What do you guys think?

A favorite of stars like Ciara, Alexis Bittar Bracelets are eye catchingly chic and edgy. Tap your inner fashionista with this $395 Cubist Mirror Hinge Bracelet:

Made of resin and rhodium, the sharp angled accessory will make any outfit extraordinary.
Pair it with the following for a high/low look:

The perennial problem of hitting the town with a clutch: It’s cute and looks great, but is never large enough to fit all you need (including that pair of flip flops you need to rest your feet at the end of the night!). Enter Rampage’s $68 Jenny Flap Clutch:

It’s compact enough to look chic, yet large enough to stow all your necessities. A drop chain shoulder strap offers ease and versatility, and the price makes it a must!
