Ban the Rays

For as long as I can remember my dad's choice sunglasses has been Ray Bans. When I was a little girl, I thought he looked like the coolest dad in his aviators and I would always try and steal them from him (despite the fact that they were 14 sizes too big...now that I think about it, perhaps that's when the obsession with giant, bug-eye sunglasses began). Anywho, roughly 20 years later I got my very own pair of Ray Ban Aviators and I love, love, love them. They've become my go-to accessory. I'm like Corey Hart, wearing my sunglasses at night.

They're the first (and to date, last) pair of good quality sunglasses I've ever had. I think that plays a huge part in why I like them so much; I've dropped them and sat on them countless times and they're still as good as new, whereas my $10 pair of Aldo sunglasses, while real cute, lasted about a summer (and a Canadian summer at that...so like 3 weeks). It's to be expected, you pay for what you get.

I really like the company and if I were to buy another pair of quality sunglasses, I would definitely go with Ray Bans. These are the models I've set my sights on

Wayfarers, I know. I'm so behind, right?

I'd totally be channeling Holly Golightly in these

yeah, I know. I already have these.

I want them in silver with the mirrored lenses, but the website doesn't have them pictured, so let's give our imagination a go, shall we?

First order of business, though...Ray Ban Cats and we'll see what I can afford from there.

Since I'm on the subject of praising Ray Ban, I though I'd share their virtual mirror program. You download it and you try some sunglasses on to see how they'll suit your face. It's fun!

GO RAY BANS!!!
