POETRY - SHOPPING FOR YOUR MOTHER ON CHRISTMAS

I don't know about your mother but mine is pretty impossible to buy for. It seems most mothers enjoy scented candles or soaps but not mine. Luckily when it comes to buying gifts for females of any kind Poetry has it covered. It's not normal for me to post anything women related but Poetry recently invited me to check out the new stock so I could choose a few goodies for my mother. I am being very sincere when I say their selection made it super easy. They carry all the soaps and candles but they also stock home-ware, clothing and accessories. Plus the sales ladies made it even easier to shop. Seriously, I was in and out in 20 minutes.  Check it out in person or peruse their website so you can see what you can buy on your budget. Pretty clever. Go take a look.

"spark" - note the clear frames painted black in front. a subtle modern upgrade to the classic shape.


"provence" - inspired by the paint scheme seen at Paul Ricard High Tech Test Track in Southern France which is in turn inspired by the vast rows of lavender which dominate the Provencal countryside.

RAYBAN BLOKS 1083/32 AT SUNGLASS HUT

I popped into Sunglass Hut last week while they unpacked their new stock and I was a little surprised when I saw these new Rayban Wayfarers. Although I doubt their objective was to make the frames look wing-like in any way it reminded me of dragon fly wings. This new special series is meant to give you a three dimensional pair of shades. They look like they could be quite loud, but in fact don't look out of place at all, in fact they look rather cool. 

These new shades are only R1890 at Sunglass Hut stores nationwide.
