"She left pieces of her everywhere she went ..

.. it was easier to feel the sunlight without them, she said."


I recently lost my favorite pair of sunglasses, big surprise! I know all my faithful sun glazier's have had this problem, one, two, yes even three + times. Having said that, I kept agonizing over visiting the Sunglass Hut* and reinvesting in my troubled pieces. Now, as a faithful economic stimulator aka shopaholic, I wouldn't have bothered thinking twice about the purchase; although it pained me to know I had to drop another couple bills for the same pair of shades that I had barely had the pleasure of seducing for a mere 10 months. LONG STORY, not yet so short .. I went to the mall, picked up my lost lover's brother and admired it, looked at the price tag and said I'll pick you up on pay day. Later that day, I got my fingers to googling and was able to find the exact pair of shades for a fraction of the price. Now, I know what you're thinking, REPLICA, right? Well, NO! It turns out you can find any most AUTHENTIC** designer shades online for a fraction of the cost. So in summary (now a long story, short), visit your favorite chain, jot down the style number and give your fingers a little exercise. 

Glaze safely, my friends!

*Dear, Sunglass Hut: I apologize ahead of time for putting you out of work, but it's a shitty economy & every superficial gal for herself

**As always, be sure you inspect the item for authenticity, tags, boxes and sometimes a receipt for original purchase are great indicators of authenticity
