Crystal Wrap Sunglasses
Valentino
www.valentino.it
Ward off the sun or curious paparazzi with these celeb-worthy shades. The trend has gone towards huge sunglasses, and in this case, bigger is better. These wraparound frames will provide definite coverage to your precious eyes as well as protect the area surrounding your star pupils, staving off crows feet and the consideration of a botox appointment. With Swarovski crystals adorning each side of the frames, you’re sure to bring the bling.

Heritage linen two-button blazer
Banana Republic
www.bananarepublic.com
The layered look can conjure images of the slovenly dressed indie boy, but rest assured, this two-button blazer can work wonders. Go dress down casual with a t-shirt or spiffy it up with a button up shirt and clean shave. Linen has always been a summer material favorite, and this one’s 100 percent, allowing you to breathe in air and breathe out cool. Details like edges with pick-stitching and pockets galore—one chest and two flap pockets on the outside, three interior pockets including a pen pocket—show that even though it’s summer, your wardrobe can consist of more than just sandals, shorts and sunblock. Also, this is quite the bargain as Banana Republic makes room for their Fall line.

Tunic coverup
Dolce & Gabbana
www.dolcegabbana.it
After lounging at your infinity pool, a t-shirt and shorts won’t suffice as cover up material. Instead, this Dolce & Gabbana tunic cover-up is another late summer steal that allows you the airy feeling of a summer’s breeze. The sheer polyester still lets your bikini strut its stuff in a sexy, subdued manner. The material is sky blue, the side slits and it has a drawstring keyhole neckline and cuffs juxtaposed with three quarter bishop sleeves that make this tunic naughty and nice.

Silk Scarf
Emilio Pucci
www.emiliopucci.com
Whether it’s fashionably holding back your coif as you sail on the yacht or scream down the coast in a convertible, no one likes flyaway hair. Versatile and luxurious in 100% silk, this scarf measures 34 x 34 inches, letting you also wear it around the neck or accessorize a belt or bag. In true Pucci fashion, this scarf is a diametrical delight with eye opening colors of blue, green, black and shades of white, as well as shapes that will have you wondering what kind of fantastic world existed within Pucci’s imagination.
$240

Time Tank Leather Strap Edition
Oakley
www.oakley.com
If you could wear a Hummer on your wrist, this is it. This ultra-lightweight titanium watch might as well spray testosterone with all of its macho gold plated 13-jewel quartz movement glory. Brain plus braun is met with its 10-bar, water-resistance (equivalent to depths of 330 feet); chronograph measuring 1/10 second up to 30 minutes; cumulative time, intermediate time and split time functions; as well as a 48-month battery with power saving mechanism. The genuine leather band lends a more comfy feel, but a titanium bracelet edition is also available. Feel like you’re blazing an SUV without the gas guzzling guilt.
