on 12/15/2008 A great place to buy designer sunglasses is www.popularglasses.com. They have pretty much every designer you can think of, from Chanel to Oakley, and Prada to Ralph Lauren. Plus, they always sell at a pretty good discount, and the shades are guarenteed authentic. I've used them a couple of times, and have always found what I want.
