Sailor Husband and I went to the mall over the weekend, and I decided to quickly stop in Forever 21 for a peek at the sunglasses. I usually don’t go in, but I was looking for a pair of new aviators (incredibly hard to find a pair that isn’t too square-ish). Besides those, I also found an amazing pair of sunnies that are a pretty good facsimile of 1940s sunglasses (at least in my opinion!). They were less than $6–far less than the real thing sells for! I snatched those up and have been happily sporting them since. They had a Heritage 1981 tag, although I can’t find them anywhere on the website. But if these are up your alley, I’d suggest swinging by your local Forever 21 to see if you can find them!

Hi Casey,

I really love your blog and I adore your new design. That’s why I nominated your blog for two awards! Hope you like it…

Love, Betsy.

Ah sunglasses, the other bane of one’s existence (the first being bathing suits, of course!) I have a terrible time finding any, as I have a very wide face, but these look great on you. Don’t you love finding stuff like this?
I wish I were in Florida right now! If I want to wear sunglasses, I have to wear them with a tuque…not very comfortable or good looking.

P.S. I love your blog’s graphics! You did them yourself, I think.

Those glasses are great! I didn’t look at anything but blouses when I went. Shame on me! My fav glasses of all time are my classic ray bans, but I’ve been lusting after a pair like that. Have a great day! :o )

Oh, I must get myself down to Forever 21 for a pair of these! I’m always on the search for vintage or vintage-inspired sunglasses and can only find those huge bug-eyed ones. These are so classic looking. What a great find!

These are such a special find! The more I look at them, the more I’m tempted to go see if they are in my local store. :) Love the Gene Tierney capture. It’s amazing how similar yours are to hers!

Oh how perfect!

The sunglasses look great on you! They are a nice size too. I spotted some lovely aviators on the Forever 21 website, but didn’t get to purchase on time! (Put off by the international shipping charge). I have a small face and most sunglasses today look silly on me, hehe.

PS Thank you for your sweet replies through e-mail :) they are such a lovely personal touch.
