An essential part to any wardrobe is your accessories. It has been noted, stated, suggested and implied that you spend your hard earned dollars on accessories first and apparel second. A great shoe, a gorgeous handbag and "oh so chic" jewelry make the conversation. The Honeymoon Stylist wants to add sunglasses "sunnies" to the list.

My love affair started back in 1994 when I purchased my first pair of designer sunnies. It was a pair of white logo Versace shades. OMG, I can't explain how I would rock them on my college campus, (of course they didn't match half of my outfits) but nonetheless, I wore them almost everyday for an entire fall semester. They were the most expensive accessory I owned and I felt like a million bucks.

One of my pet peeves is to see a beautifully styled woman and then she hits a style (road)block with her sunglasses, handbag or shoes. I don't like cheap sunnies. I can spot them across an airport terminal.

The sunnies in this guide came from my number one source of sunglasses, Neimans baby!! Every season, especially in the fall, they have such a great selection. I do have one rule. I don't know if it is because of the economy or just my good ole fashion morals and values, but I will not pay more than $300 for a pair. That's the rule. There are great options in that price range. You have to know your limits. Don't put yourself in debt or dip into your savings for an accessory, I don't care what a fashion magazine tells you.

In the August edition of ELLE, Joe Zee gives a fabulous report on how to look and dress like a fashion editor. He puts extreme interest on the accessories. We want to add our sunnies guide to the list.
