About Urban Girl Squad
Amanda Hofman created Urban Girl Squad, a community-based social group for women in their 20’s and 30’s in New York City, in January 2008. Urban Girl Squad creates opportunities for these women to try new things, spend time with friends, and meet new people. Our events include food and wine tastings, beauty and fashion nights, dance and fitness classes, sports, events, cocktail parties and more. We provide special, discounted access to the city — you’ll meet store owners and designers, taste gourmet food and drinks, receive personal attention from popular venues, and score some amazing gift bags. The welcoming atmosphere at our events makes it easy for members to attend on their own or with friends.

Stay Fashionable in the Heat

The heat and humidity can mess with people, I am proof positive of that fact, turning into one raging bitch as soon as the humidity kicks up. As soon as my hair starts rising five inches above my head and my face breaks out in prize-winning acne, I need something to make me feel sexy again because all women know that if you feel sexy, other people are going to look at you and think the same thing.

It’s the little things that make a woman feel like a million bucks–New underwear, her “skinny jeans,” a manicure; a lot goes into how a woman feels about herself and what she puts on her body when she goes out in public. One thing that is not to be forgotten in the spring and summer months are a very small item that not a lot of women even give much thought–Sunglasses!

In addition to shielding your eyes from the harsh sun, sunglasses come in so many designs, colors and tints that they are a true fashion accessory. Being a fashion accessory, many labels are getting away with robbing women all over the world blind and charging ridiculous, designer prices. These prices may suit a movie star’s budget just fine, but if you’re a regular, middle-class, working woman, you know that a pair of sunglasses, or any fashion accessory at that, isn’t going to compel you to tragically break the bank to that degree. It is because of this that so many people buy online, either through eBay or through other online vendors specializing in the product they want.

It is important to find a trustworthy, cheap and quality online retailer to purchase from; you don’t want to spend your good, hard earned money on cheap accessories that are going to break in a few days, or even in a few months. Sunglass Warehouse knows what women want and stock women’s sunglasses in every color and style imaginable, striving to match the eclectic style of every woman who purchases from them.

Frankly, because I despise the heat and humidity of summer and find going outside on the hottest day of the year unbearable to begin with, I will not leave the house until I have my sunglasses already on so there is no opportunity for the sun to aggravate my eyes and cause headaches, which I am also prone to having. One of the top priorities for women when buying accessories are that the items are going to have to fit not only their attire, but their style in general and since designers everywhere are striving to expand their collections with accessories and because their styles are so versatile, Sunglass Warehouse stocks designer sunglasses at a highly affordable rate. Every woman who wants to look fashionable and hot this summer deserves the chance to do so and luckily, it doesn’t have to cost your kid’s college tuition to do so.
