Jumping On The Ray Ban Bandwagon

Seems like, nowadays, you're not a celeb if you don't own a pair of Wayfarer shades. From coast to coast, D List through A, stars are rocking Ray Ban's best-selling style.

For the past year or so, I have been in a monogamous relationship with a pair of oversized Gucci shades - but this summer, I'm feeling like I need something a bit more streamlined. So I'm currently contemplating hopping on board the Ray Ban bandwagon.

Yesterday, during a routine trip to Lord & Taylor, I decided to try on the iconic style made famous by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's. I was very surprised by how well they flattered my face. Typically, I'm the Goldilocks of shades; I have to try on about 25 pairs before I find one that looks halfway decent. But the first pair I picked up was Ray Ban's new Wayfarer style 2132, a smaller take on the original...and they fit like they were custom made.

Had Mr. Spoiled Pretty not been with me - watching me like a hawk and cautioning me from giving my Visa card too much of a workout - I would have bought those sunglasses on the spot. Now, as I sit here typing, I'm singing the shoulda woulda coulda's.

I'll probably end up going back to the store tomorrow. Lord & Taylor is having a sale right now online and in stores, and almost everything is 20% off*. Which means that the Wayfarers will only cost me $87.20 - as opposed to the $109 regular price.

Brace Yourself For This Week's Sales at Ideeli.com

I was very tempted to keep the following information to myself...

Ideeli is having some off-the-chain sales this week...and some of my favorite handbag designers are all up in the mix. I've been craving a new bag lately, so I think I might just break down and adopt a new one. Just don't tell Mr. Spoiled Pretty - he seems to think that when you acquire a new purse, you have to throw an old one out. I know, I know...but he's a man and, therefore, knows no better.

Anyway, when it comes to handbags, I'm a little cutthroat. I considered keeping these amazing Ideeli sales a secret, lest I risk a lot of competition come buying time. But I've never been one to hold out on y'all, so I'm going to share the deets. And hopefully, my good deed will be rewarded with the extra yummy handbag I've been jonesing for.
