Originally introduced for the United States Army Air Corps in 1937, Ray Ban has since become one of the top manufacturers of high-end sunglasses. Being one of the most primitive fashion icons, Ray Ban occasionally gets criticized for being “too old-fashion” and many believe that its styles do not appeal to the new generation. However, Ray Ban has sought inspiration from previous eras and re-invented its sunglasses so they have a modern and contemporary twist added to the original flare.
World’s most famous werewolf, Taylor Lautner, was spotted in a pair of Ray Ban Caravan 3136 sunglasses during the premier of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The Caravan sunglasses are the classic Aviators at the right size and right tint. Style 3136 is designed with a streamlined and geometric quality and features a squared frame. It possesses a sleek and sophisticated look. Ray Ban’s logo is subtly displayed upon the nose pads and across the top corner of the lens with lens colors including dark grey or dark green for an ultra chic and versatile finish.
Taylor Lautner is not the only one showing off his Ray Ban sunglasses; his Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have all been seen sporting Ray Ban’s characteristic and colorful Wayfarers both on-screen and off-screen. Ray Ban Sunglasses are classic and stylish; they have a timeless appeal that still makes girls scream and guys envy.

When it comes to making a fashion statement, eyewear is an important factor. It is no surprise why designer eyewear has become vastly popular throughout the last decade; designer eyewear not only offers great styles, but also guarantees quality.
A pair of replica sunglasses might copy the look of a pair of authentic designer sunglasses, but the quality is nowhere near the original design. According to the International Anti-Counterfeit Coalition (IACC), counterfeit eyewear can shatter easily. Designer brands such as D&G, Gucci and Marc Jacobs use better materials for their frames and lenses. Genuine frames’ hinges are sturdy but smooth, and the joints are strong. On the contrary, “fake” eyeglasses and sunglasses are really flimsy.
Moreover, the real danger of buying fake sunglasses is the non-polarized lenses. Most fake sunglasses claim to provide protection from UV and polarized light. The truth is, 100 percent of all polarized replica sunglasses have no polarization protection and most of them do not even protect against UV light. The dark lenses not only offer poor protection, but they also force the pupils to peel open to allow in more UV rays, which harm the eyes. When it comes to protecting your eyes, superior designer glasses are absolutely worth their prices.
Of course, not everyone has that kind of money to afford designer eyewear at retail prices. That is why online fashion stores such as Eyeglasses123 offer opportunities for you to purchase designer eyewear at a bargain. Eyeglasses123’s Discount Designer Eyewear enables customers to save substantially over retail prices without limiting your choices in colors, designs and styles, offering, among others, 2010’s hottest trends from Burberry, Armani, and Versace.
“How do I know if they are authentic sunglasses when they are purchased online?” one asks. Along with a certificate of authenticity, a native protective case and an original lenses cloth, Eyeglasses123 offers a one-year manufacture warranty and also promises an “all products are authentic or double your money back” policy. Online fashion stores have an endless selection and possibilities; choosing the right store allows you to find authentic eyewear at the most reasonable cost.
The following viral video was made for Eyeglasses123 as a way of showing appreciation towards the company. If this teaches you anything is that you should remember: Eyewear quality should not be overlooked – don’t fake to impress!

A day honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, June 20,2010 marks the 100th birthday of the “official” Father’s Day. The first observance of Father’s Day is believed to have been held on June 19, 1910, through the efforts of Sonora Smart Dodd of Washington. Even though historians have recorded that there was a tradition celebrating Father’s Day dated back to 4000 years ago, it wasn’t until the last century when modern Father’s Day Celebration was originated.
It took many years to make the holiday official. When Mother’s Day was met with enthusiasm, Father’s Day was often met with laughter. Perhaps it was due to the perception that mom has always been the backbone of the family, people seemed to be more appreciative towards mom than dad. However, we care and love both our parents; we just have different ways to show them. Statistically, it is easier to buy gifts for moms, anything from fashionable eyewear to relaxing spa dates. Dads don’t seem to expect as much. Father’s Day is a perfect occasion to express your deepest feelings for dad and pamper him with innovative and thoughtful gifts. Ties and wallets are nice but they have become cliché gifts over the years. So what are some good gift ideas for dads?
Understanding your dad’s hobbies and interests is very important. For sporty dads, golf set could be a nice idea. If he enjoys indoor games, a great poker set would give him a chance to host poker nights with his friends. For tech-savvy dads, anything technology-related gadgets could put a smile on his face. For bibliophile dads, a rare book with his subject preference in mind is always an unique gift. For trendy dads, a pair of cool sunglasses would help him carry his stylish statement. Maverick’s Ray Ban Aviator sunglasses have become such an iconic look ever since the 80’s; dads nowadays still dig the look. If you don’t have any specific ideas, clothes and accessories are always the traditional yet appreciated gifts.
There are many ways to express your love to your dad. Father’s Day is not just about gifts; it is a great opportunity to connect with him on a special day.

Perfect for spring and summer, Gucci’s 2846/S sunglasses are the newest hit this season. As one of Italy’s most powerful heavyweights, Gucci eyewear is amongst the best selling designer brands that are available in the market today. The brand is loved by countless people around the world and is often worn by high-fashion celebrities. Pussycat Dolls’ Nicole Scherzinger was seen wearing a pair of 2846/S just a few days ago.
The style has a contemporary but also classic metal frame. It features adjustable nose pads and plastic temple tips for maximum comfort. The temples feature the newly designed Gucci Sunglasses logo, a double overlapping G in the form of an oval that is inserted into metal tags. The scratch and impact resistant lenses ensure 100% protection from UVA and UVB rays. The color combinations are black ruthenium frame with shaded gray lenses, gold and dark brown frame with brown lenses, gold and dark tortoise frame with azure lenses, gold and black frame with gray lenses, and gold and haze frame with lilac lenses.
As retro style has made a fashion comeback in this new decade, many designer brands are coming out with new classic eyewear and they are sexier than ever. Clark Kent’s dark, chunky frames are the new fashion trend. People are choosing the big sexy eyeglasses with the over-sized lenses, reminiscent of yesteryear.

In recent years, accessories have become extremely important when it comes to personal style and defining an outfit. Retro, vintage, and being unique are some of the main qualities people look for in an eye-catching outfit. Accessories like eyeglasses poise the style of the outfits, completing the look.
The retro fashion eyewear is being seen worn by celebrities and fashion icons around the world. Sarah Jessica Parker was recently spotted in a pair of Ray Ban’s large contoured eye shape sunglasses. A black frame with grey lenses, the style offers comfort, simple yet elegant glare that can fit round, square or oval faces. It is designed with a saddle nose bridge and adjustable temples with Ray Ban’s logo featured on the frame arms.
Christina Aguilera also rocked Prada’s large, trendy frames at Soho House in New York City just last month. The Prada sunglasses present a good blend of classic and contemporary feel. The round frame has a flat edge with curved arms tapered over the ears and the Prada logo is etched into the metal layer over the arms.
These old-fashioned designs seem to find their new modern looks. Colorful saucer-sized frames can be fitted with prescription lenses, non-prescription lenses or sunglasses, matching every outfit and contributing to a chic appearance.
Celebrities are not the only ones who can work a retro-look. Eyeglasses stores such as Eyeglasses123 feature sophisticated high-quality frames for excellent prices. Brands such as Gucci, D&G, Versace and Marc Jacobs not only guarantee the quality, but also give a great sense of classic style that once took the 60’s and 70’s by storm.
