  • Coffee Break – Butterfly Sunglasses

    Without opining on the celebrity or her brand (I’ve actually never watched The Hills!), I like the look of these butterfly sunglasses from LC Lauren Conrad. An oversized shade s always a fast way to add glamour to a summer outfit, and for the inexpensive price point plus ultraviolet protection, these don’t disappoint. Were $30,…
