The art of light and shade
In her charming coming of age love story, Last Chance by Sarah Dessen, the character Norman collects sunglasses and does paintings featuring them. We thought it might be fun guessing which brands historic artists would be drawn to. Picasso for instance must surely be a Jimmy Choo man - wild, reckless but perfect in their simplicity whist Austrian eccentric, Egon Schiele would be a fan of organic shapes of these crazy Roberto Cavalli shades.

Secrets to choosing the right sunglasses
There’s great article on the Women’s interest blog, Womens Passions at the moment entitled ‘Sunglasses: sectret of choice’. We’d sugest you read the full article for yourlseves, but here’s a quick excerpt to give you a flavour:
“Sunglasses - essential thing during warm season. Moreover, it is an additional accessory that underlines your individuality and unique style, if they are chosen correctly. You can easily learn secrets of choice.
Comfort is the main thing
You need to pay special attention to such details, as mobility of nasal support - remember that hard nasal supports often pressure on nose bridge and cause rapid wear and tear.

You should like frame - when it comes to glasses not only as a device for vision correcting, but also as a means of image and personal style, the role of correctly chosen frame is undeniable.
Sunglasses as a part of image
In addition to functionality and convenience, which must surely stand in the first place when buying any glasses, even sun, their appearance plays no minor role in choice of decent glasses.
It is not only the image. Glasses can change your appearance beyond recognition, and they also can disfigure it. Recall, for example, a legendary Ugly Betty and horrible spectacles that were main focus on her not very attractive look.
Choose form of glasses and frame carefully, taking into account peculiarities of your face.
Glasses depending on the form of face
The main rule - form of glasses should contrast with facial oval. Straight arch between lens also affects physical appearance: thin, light straight arch of dim color (eg, silver) visually increases the distance between eyes, while bright broad straight arch visually pulls together straddle eyes….”
