SUNGLASSES, SANGRIA, SAND AND SEA !

[fiona hayden]

Summer has arrived, so now ladies is the time to turn up the heat and glam factor a notch or several, with a new pair of sunglasses. Personally if I had enough chutzpah, I would live in them! For now though, I will avail myself of every possible opportunity to add a little style and panache to my summer wear. Sunglasses,large straw hat and of course bright red lipstick (it has to be red), and I am all set for the day. Hmm, might even hit the beach later with my latest copy of WQ mag !

No dark circles to worry about, and I know my mirror is lying, crows feet (note to self, soft lighting from now on ) all safely hidden by sunspecs. No daily battle with hair that droops at the merest hint of humidity, hat solves that little dilemma. Then the icing on the cake, not to be eaten of course, I'm watching my weight, time to indulge in one of my all time favorite hobbies, admiring the view! Now much as sunlight dancing across the waves is undoubtedy picturesque, for me, it is the allure of sun oil shining on a gloriously toned 6 pack!

Drum roll please,as you see where the sungalsses come in handy. Not only do they in my case, hide a multitude of sins, but with the darkened lenses, it is impossible for anyone to see who or what I am feasting my eyes on.

Scene set; sunglasses on; straw hat hiding my hair, which now I come to think of it, bears a striking resemblance to said hat; sangria in one hand; magazine in the other; I can drool away to my hearts content. ( note to self,must not fall asleep this time, drooling fine, dribbling not, oh the embarrassment)

Well moving on briskly, with today's large bold designs, taking us back to the golden era of Jackie O,we can all up our glam factor and become stlye icons.

Just consider it, retail therapy that is good for our health ! We can look amazing, while knowing we are protecting our eyes from the very damaging effects of U.V. radiation. Now tell me that isn't appealing.

If by any remote chance someone has the temerity to question your teeny weeny spending spree, just disdainfully raise one eyebrow,( you know the look ) and put them firmly in place, by pointing out that it is considerably cheaper than cataract surgery and or a face lift. ! After all no squinting in the sun's dazzling glare, equals fewer crows feet !

By the way, the life guard at the red hut on Siesta is mine, he just does not know it yet !

So back in the real world, why not enter our drawing to get a free pair of Lulu Guness signature sunglasses.

Then go ahead and enjoy the views !
