I had a semi-lousy day yesterday, salvaged only by a sleepover with my favorite girl friends. Half the day was spent arguing with my boyfriend while I waited for my sister for over an hour at the grocery. The searing summer heat did nothing to improve my mood. But I didn’t want everyone to see that I was annoyed, so I slipped on a pair of sunglasses as soon as I stepped outside and wham! Instead of pissed, I looked glamorous (okay maybe not, but I didn’t look angry, at the very least).
Funny how sunglasses can change your look, and sometimes even your mood, in a split second. One moment, you’re an angry young punk, and in the next, a sophisticated could-be rock star. Just with a pair of giant sunglasses! Before, I never used to wear them (I like seeing colors for what they are, and I don’t usually like talking to people when I can’t see their eyes unless I’m wearing sunglasses too), but the scorching sun made it necessary for me to bring a pair wherever I am.

For sunglasses, it’s hard to beat the classic styles of Ray-Ban. My brother loves his Wayfarers, while my boyfriend uses Aviators to protect his eyes from the sun’s glare when he’s out on flights. I like Wayfarers too, but recently, I’ve been lusting over their Jackie O. shades. I think they’re the perfect summer sunglasses.

As promised, I’m holding another contest this week. Want your own pair of Jackie O. or Aviator Ray-Bans? Read on for details! (To people who read the entry earlier, I changed the mechanics to make them simpler).
