    What type of sunnies do you have?

    A couple of years ago, I decided to splurge on a good pair of sunnies for DH. He picked out a pair of Maui Jim's.. Ooh, how nice they are! I have been envious of them since he got them.

    The other week, I decided that I was going to get myself a good pair. Went to 2 different shops, and didn't like any of the Maui Jims that they had

    Then I walked around the cabinet and came across....DKNY...oooh, there were some pretty ones there. I picked out a pair to try on, and they didn't suit me at all Bummer!!

    So in the end I walked away with no sunnies.

    What sunglasses do you wear. What do you love about them?
    I'm not real big on the big 'bug eye' sunglasses. I prefer a more sleek slimline, black...absolutely must be black, pair.
    What's your style?

    I have some Jonathon Sceats that I absolutely love, but they are my going out ones. For everyday wear around the farm I have cancer council polarised ones, which are excellent for cutting out the glare and very comfy on my face.

    Ive had all sort over the years and my fav`s are probably the pair I wear the most purchased for only $40 from a pharmacy a few years ago.
    They havent broken or been lost or stolen (haha - some idiot broke into our car recently and only thing they took was a $5 pair I had in the glove box, spares for driving incase I lost my others. I call them an idiot cause they took cr@py sunnies - more than because they broke in), hardly scratch, they have always been comfy, go well with everything I wear...

    I have never forked out hundreds, mostly cause when I have tried those ones on they dont look quite right to me.... not sure why?

    i have magnetic clip on's to go on my everyday specs! they suit me cos i made sure of it - i wear them ALL the time when i'm outside (very light sensitive eyes)

    when i was using contacts all the time, i had a pair of black raybans - loved them, but the dumb cleaner at uni came into my room, knocked them off the bench and broke the arm off them - i was sooo peeved at her!

    I am useless with sunnies - even my $500 glasses get knocked around heaps so I just buy el cheapos from places like Sportsgirl or Target! Actually need to upgrade -thanks for the reminder!

    The Maui Jims have the polarised lenses as well. I couldn't believe how much glare they actually cut out and the colour of everything around you seems so much more vibrant.

    Thanks for the offer Dasharity we don't live anywhere near Brissie. Hopefully we will be getting a new car in the next couple of months from around brisbane, so might have to go for a drive with DH to pick it up and drop by DFO on our way out.

    The shop where I tried them on said they could order a pair like DH's in for me, I just have to get the number off the sunnies for them. I don't like my chances of convincing DH about a pair of sunnies after losing my purse for half a week and only finding it today lol!

    I have 2 pairs: a pair of black Oroton ones which I love love love which I bought before Olivia was born and they are still going strong.

    And my other faves are tortoise shell Bolle ones.

    Both are amazingly comfy, and have rose tinted lenses, so even the most dismal day looks beautiful.....

    I have mauis and love them...Mauis are also the only sunglasses to be coated on the inside so they also catch the glare and UV that reflects up into the inside of the lenses...very cool!!

    My Versace ones are my absolute favourite (I wear them most days and don't go anywhere without them) but I also love my Chanel and Gucci ones

    I have a black pair of Dolce and Gabbana's that I have had for 4 years now! I absolutely luuuurve them but they are getting quite worn now

    I did buy a pair of Prada's but someone stole them from my desk not even 2 weeks after I bought them I now have a black pair of Bvlgari's too which I'm slowly getting used to. My one and only love will always be my D&G's though!
