With all the summer sun, it's hard to make your eyes pop underneath your sunglasses. But with this season's hot trend of jelly-colored shades, you're covered eyes will get more attention than ever! Jellies for your feet, wrists and other accessories have already found their home in your mod collection, and now they're finding their way to your face! Jellied sunglasses' transparent nature make the sun's glimmer reflect right on through to bring a blingin' new glow around your UV-protected lenses. Their water-like lucidity make them a perfect surf-side beach companion! Cellophane-like colors such as subtle yellows and ash-grays are easy to toss on with your everyday summer look, while more the electric blues and pinks are a more spunky way to brighten up an outfit of the same flashy ilk. No matter what spectrum you choose, the almost-iridescent, icicle look always looks great with a tan! And when your obscured eyesight needs a little break, pushing those little sunnies up for a arest on your crown couldn't be a cuter headband alternative. Get some of the summer's most shimmering shades and peek through the slideshow at these crave-able pairs of see-thru sunglasses!
Shoe Of The Week: Melissa 'Coral' Jelly Flat

Nothing says summer style like the perfect pair of jellies. However, despite their season festiveness, they don't always have the best reputation. Too flimsy, too cheap, too over-priced, or too sweaty, it's hard to find a pair nowadays that you can rock comfortably without looking like a bad 90s flashback. While these Melissa 'Coral' Jelly Flats are a little on the expensive side considering they're, well, rubber, I appreciate them because they don't pretend to be something they're not. Inspired by a coral reef, the unique texture of these flats makes them perfect for beachy vacays and summer strolls because they embrace the fact that they're jellies instead of disguising themselves as normal flats or sandals or glass slippers like those Stuart Weitzmans. Just don't try to wear them all summer long -- they're not quite easily-replaceable as those Gap Kids ones used to be back in the day!
