Oh hey summer, how nice of you to show up…it’s about damn time (we are half way through June after all). Now that it seems like we’ll have consistently warm weather (at least for the next week or so) I think it’s time we discuss summer essentials.
Some people are shoe addicts, others are bag addicts…I, however, am addicted to sunglasses. It’s something that started when I learned how to drive.

But enough about Gilt, and more about Vaunte.
