How to Pick Eyewear to Match your Personality
Filed Under Fun with Eyewear, Eyewear Knowledge, Designer Sunglasses | Leave a Comment
The first thing in picking any accessory is to determine not only if it fits your needs, but also if it fits your style. Prada on an athlete, for example, is a classic mismatch. While you may fall in love with an item that is distinctly outside your normal range, try to resist buying it because inevitably you will have nothing to match it and will likely grow tired of the novelty of the object. Instead, stick to buying accessories that fit your personality, style and functionality.
When buying eyewear the absolute worst thing you can do is take a risk or be creative. With eyewear, which sit in the center of your face, you should be sure that you will not only like them, but that they will match your wardrobe, your lifestyle and the image you wish to project of yourself to the world. Often people will think of eyewear as a simple accessory, but it is much more than that. It is the first thing people see about you in regards to fashion, personality and style. While you don’t have to see them because they are sitting on your nose, everyone else who sees you is looking at your eyewear nonstop.
First, do a bit of introspection. Are you a creative person, an adventurer, a sports addict, a businessperson, a salesperson, a diplomat or a student? Think of the one word you would use to describe yourself and write this down. Second, take a peek in your closet and see what kinds of styles and colors you have, this is a good indicator of what your actual style is rather than what you wish your style was. Third, think about what kind of person you are in regards to confidence, creativity, functionality and athleticism. More confident people wear sharper lines and bolder colors while creative people wear more curves and intricate designs. Athletes are usually function-based and practical while businessmen usually present themselves more conservatively. Decide where you fall in these categories and try to pick eyewear that fits your personality along these lines.

Busy Moms and Eyewear
Filed Under Eyewear Knowledge | Leave a Comment
Every busy mother knows that their children watch their every move. While you may be running around catering your children to sports practice, music practice and school, be aware that they see what you eat, how you talk and how you dress. They also learn life-long habits from their mother, including how they will care for their hygiene in the future. A busy mom should make time to take care of her eyes by ensuring she wears sunglasses when outdoors and proper eyewear when reading or, if near-sighted, when watch TV or playing outside, and should explain to her children the necessity of protecting their eyes.
Spending money on high-quality eyewear that you love will show your children how important their vision is by demonstrating how important it is to you. Discouraging them from looking at the sun or other bright lights, encouraging the use of hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and other hygienic outdoor equipment will also help instill lifelong habits.
In addition to caring for your own eyes and skin, good mothers do likewise for their children in fun and creative ways. Buy your children sunglasses that protect their eyes rather than look adorable but lack UV protection. Much of a person’s eye damage later in life was caused in their youth. Many designers have exclusive children’s lines that are durable, reliable and focus on child-friendly fashion.
Finally, mothers should devise a system for their children that becomes routine. When going outside have every child’s (and your own) eyewear and hat by the door in individually marked baskets. Make sure each child takes their hat and sunglasses every time they leave the house and puts them back when they enter the home. This will keep children from misplacing them and instill lifelong habits of organization for everyday items.

Three of the top celebrity choices in eyewear forkeeping under the radar are Ray Bans, Dior and Prada, which all provide maximum coverage and ultimate fashion.
Edgy stars, like star couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, not only look amazing in Ray Bans, but they exude the confidence stars need to stay on top. Angelina, who cherishes her time alone with her children and likes to stay as anonymous as possible, wears Ray Ban Aviators with a large hat while out with her children. Her hubbyBrad Pitt does likewise, though with his tale-tell posture and iconic laugh it is quite easy to spot him, despite his Ray Bans.
Christian Dior, another celebrity favorite, has been keeping high-profile celebrities and politicians incognito for ages. With the large frames and dark lenses they are perfect for hiding a large portion of the upper face. The lightweight metal frames make it possible to wear the sunglasses for a length of time without causing discomfort. Meanwhile, the dark or gradient tinting offers maximum coverage. Dior is, also, especially popular with the singing community, namely rap and countrystars.
Prada, ever a favorite among celebrities, fashion icons, artists and singers, has been a favorite for remaining out of sight and under the radar. Where high fashion meets convenience, stars are on board. Prada, with her dark frames, dark lenses and lightweight plastic frames, are ideal for staying hidden. Likewise, since the release of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ the glasses have skyrocketed past popular and into the must-have category of the fashion world.
