Filed Under Brands Wave, Designer Sunglasses, Eyewear Knowledge | View Comments



If you are living on a limited budget, there are ways to stay fashionable and chic without compromising your budget planning or bankrupting yourself buying Prada or Dior clothing. Here are a few tips to looking beautiful for less. First, fashion isn’t always obvious. You’ll need to focus on accumulating a ‘key accessories’ collection for your mainstream or vintage wardrobe. For example, if you can’t afford designer clothing, don’t worry! Instead, focus on the key stand-out pieces, like your sunglasses, purse and jewelry. Here’s why. The first thing people see when they look at you is your face, correct? So, that is where you should focus. Designer sunglasses tells people you are hip and cool, and know whats what in the fashion world. It is the first thing they will notice and you can’t fake fashion when its that close to the eyes of everyone who stands face-to-face with you.

Designer sunglasses are a must for even the most basic wardrobe. Try to find a picture of a fashionable celebrity outside without sunglasses from a key or aspiring designer. I bet you won’t be able to! It is the most important aspect of your wardrobe because it is the first thing people will see and thus their first impression of you is determined by this one small accessory.

Next you’ll want to focus on the frosting, check out your jewelry collection and put aside anything that looks cheap, gaudy or overly delicate. On a limited budget you need every piece to count, and work with multiple pieces in your clothing wardrobe. So, you’ll want to spend a bit of time and money finding a jewelry collection that works for you. For darker skin, golds and silvers really stand out and look beautiful. On lighter skin, you’ll need a bit of color, perhaps beading or charms. This is your chance to be creative and infuse your look with a bit of personality.

Holiday Gift Ideas

Filed Under Brands Wave, Designer Sunglasses, Eyewear Knowledge | View Comments


This year, if you do what everyone else only dreams about and get your Christmas shopping done early, you’ll not only be ahead of the game but you’ll end up with items people actually want for gifts. Here are some early shopping ideas that are healthy, helpful and will get used year-round making you the gift-giving hero of the year.

Sunglasses. While this might not seem like a winter gift, you’d be surprised how useful sunglasses are year round. You need sunglasses in winter almost more than in summer due to the fact that in winter there are no trees for shade, and the sun does not feel as hot so people don’t take precautions. Meanwhile, the sun reflects off the snow or puddles from rain and damages your eyes and skin. It is a healthy, thoughtful gift that your loved one will keep, use and think of you often.

Lotion Kit. For women, nothing is more important in the hygiene department than skin care. Buying high-quality, designer skin products for a loved one means you are treating them to a gift they’d love to treat themselves to but don’t. We’re talking high-end lotion, sun screen, fragrances or night cream. Anything skin related will get used, and will make a difference in your loved one’s health. Don’t worry about offending your loved one, just don’t buy acne cream and you’re good to go.

Fragrances. Every man and women, even if they don’t want to admit it, loves to smell nice. But, fragrances can also carry harmful chemicals. This year, get a gift that smells nice but doesn’t kill brain cells. All-natural fragrances are a bit expensive, but the smells are authentic and vibrant, and it is an item your loved one can use year round.

Finding Identity in Fashion

Filed Under Blogroll, Fun with Eyewear, Uncategorized | View Comments


Many people try to find their identity through fashion. They use bright colors, designs, logos and print to express who they are and how they feel. Some people, like the woman in the image here, has taken self expression to a whole new level, but you can’t but feel happy that she seems content to be expressing herself. You may think that wearing designer clothing and accessories can’t change who you are, and that if it did it would make you shallow and pedantic. But, consider that self expression is an animalistic hangover surviving evolution. Bears preen, monkeys preen, even insects are concerned with their hygiene and appearance. Birds are notoriously self-conscious about their appearances, why not humans? Is it not counter-revolutionary to avoid thinking and working towards your best possible appearance?

Women dress to impress to secure a mate, find comfort and security long-term, and to please the mate and thus keep him interested in protecting, feeding and comforting the woman. This is obviously a base concept that operates on the subconscious level. Men are no different. They dress in such a way to inspire strength, show wealth or intellect, or demonstrate knowledge or aptitude and thus attract a mate, keep her interested and thus close by, and earn the respect of fellow (competing) males. So, when you think about it in this light, is it strange than men and women spend so much time thinking about fashion?

Designer accessories are a great way to demonstrate your knowledge of fashion, protect yourself from the idea that you may be forging your appearance (like fake sunglasses or fake designer clothing) which can only end up hurting your overall appearance.

Sunnies for Sunshine

Filed Under Brands Wave, Designer Sunglasses, Eyewear Knowledge | View Comments


For some reason, many Aussies stop wearing sunnies when the weather isn’t blazing hot. A great pair of designer Prada sunglasses are necessary even when the summer sun isn’t baking us to crisps. The most harmful type of sunshine is that which goes unnoticed. You’ll still get burned and your eyes will still strain as with extreme sunshine, but you’ll be unprepared because you are less aware of the light. Don’t be fooled by mild sunlight, always wear sunglasses and protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays.

Designer eyewear is a great way to stay fashionable and chic while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you buy designer sunnies you’ll be less likely to forget them at home as they will become a staple part of your wardrobe. Moreover, the better you feel in them and the better they look, the less likely you’ll be to misplace them or damage them. In the long run, buying designer sunglasses can even be cheaper as you wont have to pay for replacements as you often do when cheaper sunnies get damaged or lost.

And although sunglasses are not a key element in the fall or spring wardrobe, when you wear your sunnies out of season you are making a health and fashion statement on par with wearing a hat year round. It isn’t an awkward look, it’s a healthy one that keeps your sight and skin safe and wrinkle-strain free. So, even if the weather looks grim outside, keep in mind that the sun is ever present and the UV rays that can wreak havoc on your skin and eyes will be there even when you are not wholly aware of it.
