Item 8: Statement Sunglasses for Summer

Today's post features sponsored content for Item 8 sunglasses. We're approaching the height of sun season so that means I'm prepping with one of my all-time favorite accessories: sunglasses. If you look at my outfits and my Instagram, then you might have noticed that I tend to wear sunglasses quite a lot. One reason is because I have sun sensitivity and my eyes simply don't work properly if it's too sunny out. Another reason is that I'm not a fan of squinting -- no time for crow's feet! But my main reason is because I seriously love the look of sunglasses and the way they frame my face.

I've been a fan of Foster Grant sunglasses for a while, so I'm really excited to introduce you to their Item 8 sunglasses line. The Item 8 line includes sunglasses in the shapes that you know and love. They have a variety of mirrored lenses, modern frames and more. With their unique collection, I'm certain you'll find the right pair for your face and taste.

Item 8 is an elevated brand from Foster Grant that adds a fresh and trendy spin.  All sunglasses have 100% UVA-UVB protection as well. These trendy sunglasses are the perfect bag accessories for spring picnics, boardwalk bike rides and beach days. They're also quite affordable ranging between $58 and $68, while also featuring timeless and classic shapes infused with designer elements without the designer price tag.

Below, check out six pairs of Item 8 Sunglasses that I really adore. You'll notice that each pair is different from the rest, which really highlights all the unique styles. I can think of a perfect occasion to wear each pair this spring and summer. My favorites at the moment are the MS.3, BG.6 and SM.3. What about you?
