Q: Where can I find sunglasses online that look expensive, but aren't?

A: If you're like most people, your sunglasses take a beating. I drop mine, stuff them into my purse, lose them in the water when we're down at the islands, you name it. It can mean spending a pretty penny on a designer pair isn't the best option, but don't worry. Plenty of stores carry fashionable styles for so super cheap. My first stop is always Urbanoutfitters.com, which carries virtually all the major trend shades for under $20. Bananarepublic.com has equally fashionable offerings for those who want to spend a tiny bit more, with most styles clocking in around $100 or less. My favorite pick? Classic Ray-ban avaiators. At just $130, they're the perfect combination of coolness, durability and price.
