Wednesday Wants - Sunglasses

I don't know about the rest of you but here in Sydney it is pretty damn sunny all year around. So sunglasses are always a must. I am always on the hunt for new pretty ones. So here are a few I have found.

Exhibit A

Dita - Heartbreaker A

I came across these a few days ago and just loved the simplicity of the design. 

They are by Dita Sunglasses.
They are a statement cat-eye sunglasses with black frames featuring thin arms and bridge  plated in 18-carat gold with Gradient grey UV protected lenses.

Whilst I love the basic simpleness of the the style, 
at a cool $505.22 USD ($662.60 AUD)..I just can't.

Exhibit B

Ralph Lauren - Cat-Eye Sunglasses

I really like this design, again lovely and simple. A classic cats eye shape but with a lovely little silver detail.

The frames are made of acetate with UV lenses.

Coming in at a cool $269 AUD, they are much more affordable, while still being a premium product.

Exhibit C

ASOS Fine Frame Cat Eye Sunglasses With Flash Lens

Again these have a really lovely classic shape, I really love the thinness of the frame.

They are a plastic frame and a UV lens as well.

At a wonderful $19.50 these are a absolute steal.

My Verdict, there is no way, as much I love them, I would ever pay over $600 for sunglasses. I am also a sunglasses killer so I would have to say that this week... C would win hands down. I really like B but I know I would destroy or lose them in a few days. Now excuse me while i go buy my new sunglasses.

What one caught your eye? 

Framed... My New Glasses

Guess What???

I got new glasses 

YAY

I have worn glasses on or off since I was 8 years old. 

Let me tell you, some of the frames I had as a kid.... ohhh were they pretty..

Awww poor little Jasmine... they are so wonderfully bad 1980's

I now like to think that my taste in glasses has much improved.

They are mainly to help with eye strain. Considering the fact that my day job and a lot of my favourite past times are in front of a monitor, I tend to be in them a lot.

Whilst playing around on eBay recently I stumbled something awesome.

I have always had a soft spot for Cats Eye frames. They just are too cute

The problem I have is...I have a wide face.. 

So most vintage cat's eye frames make me look like a demented cross eyed Siamese cat. 

They are too narrow. 

So when i saw these on eBay and realised that they were wide enough, I thought 'what the hell', Hit Buy Now and crossed my fingers. 

The Result....

They worked !!! 
oh and  I got them in two colours

They are actually on eBay from a few different sellers but here is a link to one store that has both colours. I got them for about $20 a pair... so cheap.

They are light but durable plastic frames. My Optician easily added my prescription lenses

Here is a better look at both colours

The Black Gradient

The Red Gradient

So they are my new glasses, I love them so and they go well with my Rockabilly / Gothabilly look I try to rock most days

I also had new lenses put into my favourite chunky black Red or Dead frames, which i am sure you have all seen before.

Do you wear glasses at all? if so do you have more than one pair??
