It wouldn’t be summer without cheap sunglasses! And it’s not summer without a good batch of summer movies too.  For this post we’ve brought them together.  (Bonus points if you recognized all of these classics.)

If you are of a certain age, you may start singing “Cheap Sunglasses” by ZZ Top in your head.  I certainly had it rolling through my head when we were photographing the sunglasses and I’m singing it again as I put this post together.  I wish that the songs that got stuck in your head were the ones that you really liked but it doesn’t seem to work that way.  One day, I was shopping with my daughter and she was just humming away and singing la, la, la.  The sales person turned to me with a look of horror on her face and said, “Is that the Smurf song?!”.  I replied, “Yes, in fact it is.  It’s our gift to you today.  You’re welcome!”.  We just have to share the love.  Although I hope by now the song is out of that poor girl’s head.

Enjoy what’s left of the summer.  We’ll see you soon.
