Sizzilin’ Shades

July 31st, 2007, 7:00 pm by Carrie Welch

A great pair of shades is an essential part of anyone’s wardrobe.  Especially in the Valley!  The sun blesses us with it’s rays for about 90 percent of the year.

They can be a great tool when working a hand in poker.  Looking good and playing smart.

Joan Collins looks fabulous with her classy shades.  No squinting going on here.  Just grace and ease as she smiles for the cameras.

Like making a bold fashion statement? Check out these bright trendy shades.  They even match that amazing purse!   

What a simple accessory can do for a look is just awesome.  It’s great to be able to complete your outfit with a pair of sizzilin’ shades. 

There are all kinds of shades out there and so many ways to use them.  I like to have a few different styles on hand.  It’s fun to be bold one day and classic chic the next.  What is your favorite style?  Do you stick to one style or have multiple pairs? 

Whatever style you choose    ———-   Have lots of fun!

Myopic Mode

Believe it or not, needing to wear glasses can be a cool addition to your personal style.

You never expect it.

That fated day when you suddenly realize you can’t make out the name of that new clothing store just ahead. Or maybe it was when you tried to read the washing instructions on an awesome top and you found yourself squinting.

Fear not my near and farsighted friends —– Look at the bright side of things, you have just added an accessory to your wardrobe!

There are plenty of fashionable frames to choose from. Some of the more daring frames that have animal print on them can be fun. (<eyecessorize> check these out)

Maybe you’d like some stunning black plastic frames to complement your look. (<eyeglasses> these too)

That’s just the color choice. You also get to choose from shapes like round, square, cat eye or funky boxy.

(<eyeart> and these)

Having fun yet?

I have even seen where people pierce the outside of the nose so that the lenses are screwed into the piercing on either side of the nose. That way all there is are the lenses. (<wow> check this out) I’m not that brave, but some of you may like the idea.

There is some pretty cool information on how many people wear glasses too.

According to the Vision Council of America 64% of adult population need vision correction. 46.9% are men and 53.1% are women. 64% of those sight challenged Americans chose to correct their vision with glasses. 19% wear contacts some of the time. That means that even if you do chose to wear contacts, you will most likely not wear them all of the time.

Don’t let that make you blue —–

Turn that frown upside down and make it a bonus to your style!

Here’s one more before you go —-

Happy Shopping!

Very Cool Exhibit!

May 22nd, 2007, 6:41 pm by Carrie Welch

There is going to be a very cool fashion exhibit in Brownsville!
I like to look at fashions from the past and modify them to look modern.  If you like to do the same, or if you just like to see what people wore back in the day,  you’ll probably enjoy this exhibit.

 A Walk Back In Time is the theme with the fashions spanning from the 20’s to the 60’s.  
Where? The Brownsville Heritage Museum. 1325 East Washington

When? From June 7 - July 30

How much? $4 for adults, $2 for children

 Sounds Very Cool to me! 

Mark your calendar!
