A reason to get out of bed: Face À Face Eyewear

- Babydoll's Nuts and Bolts!

Today was the worst. Why? I'm hot, hungover, and sick. Worst combination ever.

Though I knew I had to drag myself out to bed to post about these sunglasses by Face À Face (Style Name: Betty2; Style #: 53 23). They are metallic and the most amazing shade of purple in real life. I love the curvature and this is a piece that breaks the mold with the scrolling on the lens. You can search for a place near you that sells this particular pair here on their website.

This French based brand has some amazing eyewear. These just happen to my favorite, so you would be remiss not to check out the rest of their collection here.

The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

Today I was browsing through my google reader and I came across this post from Young, Fat, & Fabulous. In in it, Amelia Pontes (guest blogger from Sound Bites) talks about her love of taking fashions risks despite being plus size.

It got me thinking about my own wardrobe and where I could use an injection of fresh new style.

Then it hit me. Sunglasses. I love them more then life and I had a pretty eclectic expensive collection that got lost in a previous move. I was devastated, because like all truly valuable items they were rare. So, in short re-buying them was never an option and they were never to be seen again.

I just did not have the heart to start collecting all over again, and as such my sunglasses assortment suffers to this day.

I think that is all going to change now, because some of these sunglasses I cannot see myself living without. I know I will have to chose just one, but I know in my heart of hearts that each one of these deserves a place in my collection! So, don't fret sunnies that don't get picked - when I win the lottery you are all coming home with me!
