Eye wear that lasts
My tendency is to buy one pair of sunglasses and wear them daily for several years straight, or until I've dropped them so many times that the lenses are scratched to the point where I can barely see through them anymore. Most recently I had a pair of gold-rimmed Ray-Ban aviators, which I loved and wore religiously for the last couple of years even though they were constantly slipping down the bridge of my nose and actually fell off my face numerous times as a result (am I the only one this happens to??). I recently resigned myself to the fact that it's time for a replacement, and after looking around for a while, this Chelsea style by Oliver Peoples is it. They're chicly pared-down but oversize (I've always subscribed to the bigger-is-better belief when it comes to plastic frames) though the rims and bands are quite thin, which gives them a delicate, ladylike twist. There are no logos and/or bulging hardware-a pet peeve of mine-and happily, they fit so snugly I'll never have to worry about them nose-diving off my face. Though they're expensive ($325), if you plan to wear them as often and for as long as I do, they're worth it.
