I can't see. Okay, that's not true, I can see but you take my glasses away and I can only focus on something 2 inches from my face. I'm use to having a really high prescription of glasses and up until recently I was only wearing glasses. (I got lazy in college with contacts and just stopped wearing them.) Sunglasses just were not something I wore and I tried those "awesome" transition lenses but always got stuck with dark lenses for awhile after I came back inside from the sun. It's super cool to be in a dark office building with sunglasses on while you wait for them to turn back to clear lenses. I'm pretty sure I've tripped walking up some stairs.
For many years I did't go outside during the day much so I think my eyes got really sensitive to light. My skin is already super sensitive. I really do feel like a vampire with my eyes and skin sizzling the second I'm in sunlight. So now I live in California! The sun is always out! And I actually really love it but my eyes and skin don't, so I've been searching for lots of sun protecting products lately. I think I may have a small obsession with sunglasses now. I'm on the hunt so if you have any companies you like please leave me a comment. I would love to find new products to share.
I just ordered these shades from Nasy Gal. These are made by Quay and I love the shape and color. Because it wouldn't be me if I didn't do this, I've added a list of sunglasses of all prices, shapes, and colors that I found while hunting around.
Quay Mia Shades available here
1. / 2. / 3. / 4. / 5. / 6. / 7. / 8. / 9. / 10. / 11. / 12. / 13. / 14. / 15. / 16. / 17. / 18. / 19. / 20.
Hope you're having a great day!

I love your sunglasses! The selection you shared are so fun! Love all the colors and shapes! I'm a LOT like you, with terrible eye sight. I'm currently wearing glasses more but miss wearing contacts and having the option of sunglasses. Like you I'm pretty light sensitive, skin & sight. I tease about being a vampire all the time too! I'm about to go to Florida & California later this year and I dread it cause someone ALWAYS comes up to me asking if I'm wearing sunscreen cause with skin as pale as mine I'm going to burn! Haha as if I didn't know how to care for porcelain skin. I don't have any sunglasses recommendations since I currently wear glasses however if you're looking for some great sunscreens I recommend checking out Vanicream Broad Spectrum SPF 35 or CeraVe Sunscreen SPF 50. For the face & neck Cotz Face Natural Skin Tone SPF 40. My dermatologist recommended them. I love the Vanicream and the Coltz feels like a silky face primer under makeup. Very lightweight.
ReplyDeleteThank you Heather! That actually really helpful because I'm so sensitive with products that everything seems to irritate my skin. I'm never able to find the right products for my skin so advice on good sunscreen is always welcome! :)
ReplyDeleteLove everything you post and your style. How much creative girl you are x>.
