What type of sunnies do you have?

I've got a brown Oroton pair of sunglasses and normal Wayne Cooper specs that have tinted lenses so I don't have to keep whipping between glasses and sunnies if I'm going to work.

I do have one regret with the Wayne Cooper pair. They've got little plastic wotsits that sit on the side of the nose as cushioning. Well, I like to put my glasses on my head and generally fiddle around with them and the plastic bits are forever getting caught in my hair.

I have Roxy turtleshell ones, took me ages to find when we went to Noosa a few years ago. I would looooooooooooooove some Chanel sunnies.. I am v jealous of you Amy...
Maybe for my 30th in Feb I will put them on my wish list.

I wear glasses for vision. When I got them I thought about getting a pair of prescription sunglasses and the optomitrist said that I could get any frame and swap the normal lenses for prescription. That was going to be very expensive so I just got the Transition lenses on my normal vision glasses. It's not as dark as actual sunglasses, but it really helps with sunglare and it means that I don't loose any glasses coz I'm not swapping them around all the time.
I am looking forward to buying a nice pair of sunglasses, but I'll wait until I can afford to get contact lenses.

I luffs mirrored aviators, they scream 'rock star' even if the rest of you screams 'tired & crumpled'.

The mirrors also come in handy if you need to see if your darling child has smeared some foodstuff on your face, and people can't see the bags under your eyes, or your eyes at all if you decide a nap is in order....

I used to have a pair of oroton ones too which I loved dearly, but the frame cracked and the lense fell out and that was the end of them - I had them for years too. Then I moved onto a pair of RayBans which were equally as lovely, but toddlers and sunglasses do not mix so they only lasted a year I now have a pair of Bill Bass ones that I brought last Christmas in the Myer sales and they are still going strong, but a little scratched now, so they are nearly ready for retirement too. I only ever wear brown lenses, the black ones give me eye strain for some reason.

I've been through 2 pairs of Maui Jims I lost the first pair on the beach on my honeymoon getting dumped by a wave and DS broke the replacement pair. I nearly cried, they were my most favourite sunglasses. I now have some DKNY sunnies which I do like and they have sturdier frames so therefore better for life with kids. And they were much cheaper than my Maui Jims but I still mourn them LOL.
