GRAZ EYEWEAR

One of my favourite eye-wear brands - and former KSUBI alum (all those aussie's are intertwined!)






these are the 'Ellery' - It has killed me a little inside that I never BOUGHT a pair of these while I had the chance, as they are now prettttty sold out
They come in an amazing array of colours
and they have the nicest shape - a shape that can suit most faces - although since they are quite big you have to question whether they would suit your style..

what i DONT WANT my commercial to look like......................

Ray-Ban Sunglasses Commercial

If you haven't guessed,
i'm doing a brand stretch - sunglasses
for an Australian Brand - Sass and Bide.
Down in Australia there is definitely a very beachy kindof lifestyle so it seemed appropriate to do.

Sass and Bide are one of my favourite brands, and they definitely have a very unique style,
you don't usually find any other brands that 'look' the same. I think realistically, this would be a good thing for them to do. A lot of very good eye-wear comes from australian brands eg Ksubi, so they will definitely be a competitor


here are some of their sunglasses:






Importance of Sunglasses

-Probably my one true 'shopping' weaknesses are sunglasses. I love them, I have quite a wide selection. I remember I would usually not wear them out in the sun though because of maximum tanning opportunity.
But its now known that sunglasses are actually very important due to the damage UV rays can inflict on your skin. It's usually recommended that we use sun block every day (even cloudy days), or at least SPF tinted moisturiser (i dont do this)

But it's said to be important now to wear sunglasses as well everyday - not just if you're sitting in the sun to protect your eyes.

Many people find direct sunlight too bright for comfort during outdoor activities. Healthcare professionals recommend eye protection whenever the sun comes out[2] to protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation (UV) and blue light, which can cause several serious eye problems.
