Prada: A Hot Trend in Sunglasses

2010-03-02T08:25:00.000-08:00

One of the hottest trends on runways has been the influence of the type of1960s fashion showcased in hit television series Mad Men, and Miuccia
Prada's recent collection, which just hit the runway in Milan, is no
exception. These are womanly, classic styles that include sheath dresses,
frilly and feminine cocktail dresses, and the type of classic cropped
pants Mary Tyler Moore wore on The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Another change from recent years with Ms. Prada was the use of slightly
curvier models, who often look best in these tailored-yet-simple 60s
styles. It all distills down to femininity, and that is also reflected in
this year's trends in women's designer sunglasses: womanly, generous,
curved, and classic. The oversized styles of the past few years are as
evident as ever, though they, too have taken a more classic turn. Only
this time the classic turn is in terms of color. Palettes in oversized
sunglasses are trending more neutral: dark brown or black frames with
lenses in grays and browns.

Two perfect examples of the oversized shades that should be considered
pending classics are the Prada SPR 09L 7ZK-4V1 and the SPR 18I 1AB-3M1.
Both of these fall into this oversized, feminine, classic colored
sunglasses that perfectly complement the clothing shapes that have been
taking the runways by storm the past couple of seasons.

The first style (SPR 09L 7ZK-4V1) comes in Bilberry plastic frames with
violet gradient lenses. Note that in this case "violet" doesn't refer to
pop-art light purple, but rather to a gray that is just kissed with a bit
of violet, and which is very flattering to a wide range of skin tones.
These top quality sunglasses are made in Italy and have 100% UV
protection. The frames are a little heftier than some of the oversized
styles have been, so they look fresh and new. They've been spotted on
singer Christian Aguilera who in recent years has adopted a more grown-up
look.

The second style (SPR 18I 1AB-3M1) has frames that are both square and
curvy in glossy black. Gray gradient lenses provide great viewing comfort
as well as 100% UV protection. These beauties are made in Italy as well
and have been seen on Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie, two very feminine,
fashion-forward women.

The oversized, womanly sunglasses trend isn't going anywhere soon. They're
just too perfect for accenting work clothes during commuting time, yummy
jeans and cashmere on the weekends, and any swimsuit during the summer.
Colors for these styles are trending more classic and neutral, which makes
it easy to find styles that go with a variety of wardrobe colors.

And speaking of colors, the world of sunglasses hasn't forgot about them.
Colors in frames and lenses are showing up in some of the old-school
classics like the Ray Ban Wayfarer. The Wayfarer is making somewhat of a
comeback - "somewhat" because the style never goes away completely. There
are always going to be people who go for the reliable style and function
of these awesome shades. But now you can get them in candy-pop colors like
bright turquoise, pink, and blue. The Ray Ban Aviator is showing some more
color these days too, including a yummy bubblegum pink that is sure to be
coveted by stylish women everywhere who want a bit of fun in their
sunglasses wardrobe.

Bottom line? Sunglasses are more beautiful than ever, so there's no better
time to protect your beautiful peepers from glare and UV damage while
looking fabulous.

Invest in some Ray-Ban Wayfarers! No, seriously!

2010-02-17T21:16:00.000-08:00

In today's economic state, many fashion-lovers are trimming their shopping budget and are closely monitoring what they spend their money on. One of the first places that takes a blow is the accessories wardrobe, which includes sunglasses.

However, with winter on its final run and spring about to sneak up on us, that means that its time to think about finding an incredible pair of sunglasses to help combat the glare of that lovely warm spring sun. Instead of buying an array of various cheap and weak sunglasses, you should think about grabbing a pair of Ray-Ban wayfarers.

The great thing about Ray-Ban Wayfarers is that are so versatile! They can compliment almost any look, no matter how casual or professional, Wayfarers work.

When it comes to an outfit as casual and cool as a white tee, sneakers, and jeans, Wayfarers can pull the look together and make the whole look appear effortless and chic. However, if you find yourself in need of a pair of shades that can look professional and protect you from the bright sunrise on the way to office, but still look trendy enough to guide you through the sunset of rush hour to happy hour, then Wayfarers are just what you need. Not to mention, they look simple and classic enough to wear all year round.

Not only do they compliment many looks, but also many face shapes. A couple of years, ago when Wayfarers were started to make their comeback, I received a black pair as a birthday gift. I was super hesitant about wearing them, because I didn't think they would compliment my round face. However, after seeing them on others with various face shapes, I decided to wear them and I they have become one of my go-to sunglasses.

They just look so cool and retro, on men and women!

Last, but not least, Ray-Ban Wayfarers are available in multiple colors and prints. No matter your personality, there is a Wayfarer out there for you. Trust me! If you want to keep it simple with a pair of all black or tortoise or go all out and crazy with a pair of animal print or neon, you can't go wrong with a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers!

One Life Stand by Hot Chip | Song of The Week

2010-02-17T13:18:00.000-08:00

Share

Starting today, we have officially kicked off our "SONG OF THE WEEK" section on the official ShadesDaddy.com blog. We know style and music go together and who doesnt appreciate learning about a great song, or band for that matter.

This weeks song is "ONE LIFE STAND" by Hot Chip.

"Warmer, deeper and more stripped back than their previous record, ‘Made In the Dark’, ‘One Life Stand’ is still conscientiously crafted and informed by the kind of intelligent evaluation that is now second nature. The seductive and surprisingly glossy finish they can deliver when the mood takes them and the song demands are replaced with an emotional honesty and an open-hearted optimism that is disarming and often unexpectedly affecting.With both feet in the Jack Track underground roots of classic house and techno, and a heart in candid song-writerly craft, this record, in its entirety, is convincingly inspired by Joe Smooth, Marshall Jefferson, Derrick May, Theo Parrish, Bill Withers and Bill Callahan all at once. ‘One Life Stand’ seeps through to your soul while defiantly striking a pose (albeit in a jumper and glasses) in the middle of the dance floor called Now!"
