Musicians Rock Versace Sunglasses

Looking for something to wear for your next music video? Try the Versace VE2120 Sunglasses. But only the Gold version. Celebrities don’t wear the Silver version. At least Lady Gaga, Omarion, Kid Cudi, Ciara, Flo-Rida and Cyhi Da Prynce don’t.

Versace 2120 Sunglasses are popular with celebrities of both sexes.

All of these musicians, including the men in these sunglasses originally intended for women, claim the Gold Versace VE2120 Sunglasses as a bold fashion statement.

So why these sunglasses?

To begin, the inspiration behind the sunglasses in the collection is actress January Jones, the face of Versace accessories, who is known for her fashion-forward choices.

These cat-eyed frames look different from traditional sunglasses, and they look even more different from traditional cat-eyes. The lens shape is highly unique, forming to the shape of the bridge. The combination of the lens and frame front looks like two wings, which can give a whole new meaning to the idea of leading with your best asset but instead letting that asset lead and fly away with you.

Probably the best feature of these sunglasses is that the iconic Versace Medusa head, bolted through the lens in the top corners, has the illusion of traveling through the air. Going along with the flying motif, when viewed from the side, the gold or silver of the temples looks like wind left behind by Medusa.

The details on these Versace sunglasses give them a beauty and complexity that make the frames popular with so many celebrities.

Vuarnet Sunglasses – Don’t Call it a Comeback

Quality never goes out of style and the new collection of Vuarnet Sunglasses illustrates this perfectly. Between the 1960′s and the 1990′s Vuarnet was synonymous with top-quality and stylish eyewear for the outdoor athlete. They were made popular by their namesake, skier Jean Vuarnet, but were soon ubiquitous in the world of downhill skiing, snowboarding, boating, and almost any other outdoor activity. In fact, Corey Shapiro, competitive skier, sunglass aficionado, and blogger remembers that “all the coolest dudes on the ski hill were wearing . . . Vuarnet Sunglasses.”

Vuarnet Sunglasses are now available online at FramesDirect.com

Vuarnet’s popularity skyrocketed and reached an unbelievable pinnacle when, during the 1984 Olympics, the radio station DJs would refer to the best days of The Games as “Vuarnet Days.” The 1990′s introduced Vuarnet to surfers on the west coast and made an even bigger name for itself in the water-sport scene when it sponsored the America’s Cup in 1995. Vuarnet has remained on the eyewear scene and has been working on developing new and improved lenses and frames that are made not just for the extreme sports enthusiast but for the Urban Adventurer as well.

One of Vuarnet’s new lenses is the Citylynx lens which is a revolutionary lens crafted to provide visual comfort perfectly suited for life in an urban environment. These lenses are perfect for both fashion-minded urbanites on the go or and for those extreme urban athletes who practice the art of parkour. The Citylynx lens brings the style and quality of Vuarnet off of the ski slopes and down into the Urban Jungle.

Vuarnet Sunglasses Collection Vuarnet is proud of its new lens technology, but it is also proud of its newest designs and styles. Vuarnet is not just a sports brand but an actual lifestyle that combines tradition, comfort, modernity, and fashion. The new styles range from retro wayfarer designs and new takes on aviators to modern wraparounds and unique playful designs.

The new Vuarnet collection will be sold in the United States exclusively with FramesDirect.com, so the quality will run straight through from the service right to the brand new Vuarnet frames and lenses. Outdoor sports fanatics, urban adventurers, and fashionistas alike can now join FramesDirect.com and Vuarnet to fulfill Vuarnet’s goal to have everyone enjoy life everyday.

Flex Dollars for New Eyewear

Many Americans have flex spending or medical savings accounts as part of their health coverage. Any money remaining in these accounts after December 31 are forfeited. Don’t let that happen! If you have extra Flex Dollars in your account and aren’t sure what to do with them, use them for a new pair of prescription eyeglasses!

Even if you already have a pair of glasses, you could always use a spare. Spring for an extra pair to keep in your car, at the office, or in your favorite golf bag. Instead of losing your Flex Dollars put them to good use by ensuring that you’re never without a pair of glasses. Better yet, if you do already have a pair of eyeglasses, then put your Flex Dollars toward a nice pair prescription sunglasses.

Or if you’re a contacts wearer you could stock up on contacts for the entire year!

About the Yellow Submarine:

The Yellow Submarine was released in 1968. It is an animated musical fantasy based on the music of The Beatles. The film received mostly positive reviews from audiences and critics alike and is credited with bringing more interest in animation as a serious art form.

The Beatles, themselves, make a live action appearance at the end of the movie as Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, but the voices for their animated counterparts were actually performed by actors. In the movie, Pepperland, a cheerful music loving place guarded by Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, is besieged by the music-hating Blue Meanies, who lock the band away in a music-proof bubble. Pepperland’s mayor sends Old Fred out in a yellow submarine to get help. Old Fred travels to Liverpool where he finds Ringo, John, George, and Paul. He brings them back to Pepperland to free the land from the Blue Meanies.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
We’re eager to hear what some true fans think of the new Beatles Sunglasses. Let us know!
