It’s been raining cats and dogs here in Florida
lately, so I haven’t had the need for sunglasses for about a week. But we all know that this is only temporary. Since I’ve moved back to Florida, I’ve owned several
pairs of sunglasses to get me through each year. I have a couple pairs of
designer sunglasses (bought on a deep discount) that I don’t wear all the time,
because I’m afraid that I’ll either lose them or break them. And I definitely don’t run in them. For my run days, I grab a pair of my cheap
glasses or wear a sun visor instead.
I’ve always thought about investing in a really
nice pair of designer sunglasses, but then I think to myself is it really worth
the price? I recently read an article that suggested that they are not. For starters, did you know that most sunglasses are made by the same company? One company, Italian manufacturer Luxottica,
makes some all of the top brands like Burberry, Chanel, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tory
Burch and Donna Karan. Luxottica
is one of the biggest consumer companies that many consumers have never heard
of before. Another thing that I learned
is that in many cases, the same company
is also selling you the glasses. Luxottica also owns LensCrafters,
Pearle Vision and Sunglass Hut. Who knew right? Check out this article here
for more information about sunglasses.
Anyways,
for this week’s Fresh
Picks to Follow, here are my top 10 sunnies that I’ve been
eyeing lately. It’s a mix of high-end
designer brands and low end designer knock offs. Do any of you have a pair of sunnies that you
can’t live without? What’s your favorite
pair? Do you splurge or try to save money when it comes to sunglasses? Let me know in the comments.
Today, I’m linking up with AV’s Friday's
Fancies over on Long Distance Loving.
