These fashionable freebies are all the more reason to get beach-ready with a pair of trendy shades. The fashion-forward, trendy Carrera brand is perfect for the season with rockin' sunglasses that are a favorite of celebrities and consumers, alike.

"Summer Solstice is the perfect opportunity for us to celebrate the upcoming season by treating our loyal customers to rewards," said Rick Talmage, chief operating officer of SOLSTICE Sunglass Boutique. "The Summer Solstice offers a fun, interactive way to connect with our customers during the peak sunglass season!"

Unlike many other sunglass retailers, SOLSTICE offers a "hands-on" open sell retail format.  Instead of keeping sunglasses behind a counter or under lock and key, customers are encouraged to take control of their sunglass destiny by touching and trying on as many pairs as they like with maximum ease.

SOLSTICE's pioneering open sell retail concept and unmatched product assortment have helped the stores become a quick hit with fashion-minded customers and celebrities alike.  The specially trained sunwear stylists at SOLSTICE are always on hand to assist in selecting the best sunglasses for a customer's face shape, size, and lifestyle, not to mention keeping customers in the know about what sunglasses celebrities are wearing – particularly because many celebrities, as well as their stylists – shop regularly at SOLSTICE.

With over 150 locations nationwide, SOLSTICE Sunglass Boutique offers one of the largest selections of designer sunwear of any department store or sunglass specialty retailer, with over 1,000 pairs from which to choose in a variety of price points.  Highly coveted brands available at SOLSTICE locations include:  Armani Exchange, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Carrera, Diesel, 55 DSL, Dior, Dior Homme, Emporio Armani, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Jimmy Choo, Juicy Couture, Kate Spade, Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent, to name a few.
