Well hello there, sunny day!
I am delighted to welcome one day of sunshine into a week that will turn very quickly from what the weather network has predicted.

my new sunglasses!
So I got an early stocking stuffer from santa this year--I musta been real good this year! lol. I know it's 4 degrees right now and barely a hole in the clouds to indicate any kind of sunshine, but I always get things out of season anyways lol so it's nothing new to me!
I've been wanting a good pair of aviator sunglasses for a long while now, and although my first choice was to get the coveted pair of ray-bans, I opted to go another direction when the opportunity popped up....

uncovering the shades.
It's been non-stop day after day of beautiful weather here in Vancity, and I thought since it is summer and the sun is going strong daily that I'd blog about sunglasses!
Popularized around the 1940s when it wasn't only cool to have them to guard yourself from the prying eyes if you're a celebrity, it became more important to guard damage against the eyes. There are tons of choices and and name brands, its virtually impossible to not own at least one pair!
Those who know me well know that I am attached to my Chanel sunglasses. I love the shape--it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and the lenses are big enough to cover my eyes and not let the rays through...They have helped me shade my emotions on the most difficult of days in the Philippines and have shaded my eyes from the intense rays at Lonsdale Quay on a sunny afternoon.
How does one choose a pair? Does it even matter what brand or if one buys a pair from the cheap stores? Why invest in a pair like Oakleys or Ray ban?
Good question!

Tis' the season...for Sunglasses!!
beats:: eh eh (nothing else I can say) - lady Gaga
outfit of the day:: same as below (what!? i blog alot during the day lol)
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my CHANEL sunglasses =)
LOVE, Love, love the most beautiful, sunny day on a friday afternoon!~*
simply awesome is what I say!~
I thought that what better time to blog about sunglasses than a sunny, gorgeous day like today!?
During spring and summertime, one of my most fave accessories are my sunglasses...To be able to whip 'em out on a day like this is just pure happiness! I've got two sunglasses at the moment (far less than the 5 or 6 I used to have....) Though I owe fewer pairs than before, they are more expensive, and therefore better cared for than my 5 others which, combined, totals to just my one pair of Chanel Sunglasses. I splurged last winter (lol odd time to buy sunglasses eh!?) for a nicer pair instead of opting for a cheapie once more...I'm glad to say that it's quite worth my $$$. It's even gotten me through the toughest time, like at my Grandma's funeral...I mourned a la Audrey Hepburn, breakfast at Tiffany's style...
My other fave of the moment, which I have to say, it's been tougher to find than my normal plastic frames, is the Aviators. I would really like to one day own a pair of Ray-Ban's....In Gold Frames would be preferred! lol...Unfortunately, i've hit my quota on my sunglass purchases for the time being lol, so even though a pair of Ray-Ban's wouldn't set me back alot, I had to walk away... I bought a cheaper (albiet just as pretty!) pair of Marc Jacobs Aviator frames....I luv them dearly, though they are abit lighter in shade than what i'd like, not to mention they may not be polarized....
Now, I'm not against' the cheapies by any means....I've even bought so many in the past, it's a nice substitution while you find the perfect pair of frames to invest in. Unfortunately, if you're like me, who doesn't tend to take care of the cheaper ones, it will tend to end up seeming like disposables than for keeps...It's all in how you care for them and how much usage you'll get out of them...Someone that works outdoors and during summertime would require wearing them alot would be better off investing in a good pair with polarized frames and heavy-duty quality to them, as opposed to an indoor domesticated office gal like me, who is lucky to even see the light of day from my office window most times!
My past worthy sunglass purchases have come from various stores...I've often ventured to Aldo or Le Chateau for a quick pair of shades a time or two. They can range from about $15-$30 for a good pair of stylish sunglasses...I should warn you that though they are cheaper, they don't come with the sweet extras that a pricier one would come with...namely? a case! Yep, a case. I have sat on a pair of sunglasses before, and trust me, it ain't pretty....
