Sunglasses are more than just a way to keep the sun out of your eyeballs. They are fashion accessories. At least the right ones are. Take Quay sunglasses, for example. Owned and operated by a family business in Melbourne, Quay sunglasses are a far cry from Gucci and Chanel in way of price, but definitely don’t lack style.

But what makes them so popular? Why are indie brands like Quay taking over the sunglass market at an alarming rate?

Celebrities Wear Them

We all know that brands pay celebrities or give them freebies if they are caught wearing their stuff. That’s actually where Quay is different. They don’t pay celebrities to wear them. Despite this, people like Gwen Stefani, Cara Delevingne, and Shay Mitchell have been spotted sporting them on several occasions. And when celebrities wear a brand you can guarantee people will follow suit.

Quality

Of course, there’s a reason celebrities choose Quay sunglasses over other brands—and it doesn’t have to do with the price. Quality lenses are a staple for this brand, and you can wear them for months on end without so much as a scratch.  People recognize quality, and when they do that brand is likely to take off.

Style

Funky shapes, unique prints, and bright colors are Quay’s signature. People love to stand out, and at just $50 -$60 a pair, you can afford to grab one or two—or five without breaking the bank! Regardless of your personal style, these amazing glasses are bound to be right for you.

Protection

Harmful sun rays damage eyes. Luckily, Quay’s lenses aren’t only affordable and stylish—they also protect your eyes! You never have to sacrifice style for protection again if you snatch up these stylish sunnies.

What are you waiting for? These incredible lenses have everything you could want or need from a pair of sunglasses.

These are the best pants ever! I got them at a fabulous shop called Metallic Gift in Sydney. I am not calling it fabulous because I work there, but because it simply is. At Metallic Gift you can find a great selection of very stylish and affordable (!!) clothes and jewellery that you won't see in most other stores. I had been working in the shop for several months and had heard people rave about how great these black pants were, but I really had no interest in buying any because I already had plenty of black pants in my wardrobe. My interest in them started to peak after I had seen several women try them on and regardless of size or shape, they all looked incredible in them. The pants seem to magically suck everything with it's thick, stretchy, great quality fabric. They are slightly high-waisted, covering up those annoying muffin tops and creating a sleek line from your ankles to your waist. After hemming and hawing (again, I had plenty of black pants) I caved and tried them on, just to see. Within seconds I was ripping the tag off and paying for them so I could wear them for the rest of the day. They not only look great but they are incredibly comfortable. Such a nice fabric! The best part: only $50. I'm very happy that I finally caved and can only assume that I will get a lot of wear out of them -- I have already worn them all weekend. The only down side, in terms of my bank account, they also come  in navy. Uh oh...
