Ladies, are you such a fan of Hello Kitty that you want to look like the adorable feline? With these iCat Sunglasses, you'd be one step closer.

These adorable iCat Sunglasses were designed by GuiltyFreeCandy, who modeled it after Sanrio's most beloved character. The shades have a white frame with whiskers on both ends and of course, a red bow on the left. Cuteness aside, these are practical in the sun as they feature UV400 Lens Technology, which absorbs over 99% of harmful UVA and UVB spectrums.

This is a well-executed design that replicates the character perfectly. It'd make a great collection item for anyone who loves Hello Kitty, especially for kids who are looking to own their first pair of sunglasses.
