Furla accessory line for summer 2009 is a collection of truly feminine and sophisticated items. No matter what the brand produces it always makes success.

And it just cannot be in a different way!



Furla handbags for this season come in a variety of colors but mostly concentrating on pastels – white, beige, soft brown.



For those who like brighter tones there are designs too - in vivid purple, green and scarlet hues.



Handbags are made of soft fabrics, patent leather and reptile leather – everything you would like! However, young girls who love shining details will barely stop at this range. The items are mostly more or less reserved and tend to be more of a classic fashion.



Speaking about shoes we can say they are made in the same rich materials as bags. But the form and style of the pairs is far more diverse.



There are flat shoes – perfect for everyday wear, high stiletto shoes – great for evening and office wear, and there are comfortable sandals as well - to don during summer walks.



Just look carefully, maybe there is a pair that is a must for your own wardrobe.















Beside shoes and handbags, there are belts, watches and jewelry pieces in the range presented by Furla for this summer. Everything is made very classy and exquisite.















I hope you like the post and find the collection interesting. Good bye!!!

As eyeglasses are a must for lots of people I think the information about how to choose the lenses will be very useful. It is not a secret that buying eyeglass lenses requires making decisions about the design of the lenses, the material, and coatings you may want applied to your lenses.



Lens design
If you are careful about your eyes and all concerning that I am sure you have already consulted with your eye doctor about the type of lens design. There are two general options: single-vision lenses or multifocal lenses.

Single-vision lenses are intended for correcting a single vision problem. Such lenses function as all purpose glasses for persons who have normal accommodations.

They can also be worn by those who normally wear bifocals or trifocals for distance or near (reading) lenses.

Single vision lenses can also be used as occupational glasses for certain types of work.

Multifocal lenses work to correct more than one vision problem (for example, nearsightedness and presbyopia). There are different types of multifocal lenses:

• Bifocals: These lenses are divided into two sections. The top part is for distance vision and the bottom part is for close vision. The two segments on the glasses are seen clearly as there is a line dividing the area.
The segment for close-up vision commonly has one of the following shapes at the bottom of the lens:

o A half-moon, also named a flat-top, straight-top, or D segment. This is the most popular type of bifocal.
o A narrow rectangular area, also named a ribbon segment.
o A round segment.
o A full bottom half of a lens, named the Franklin, Executive, or E style.

• Trifocals as well as bifocals come in a variety of designs. Flat top trifocals are the most widely used form. Visible lines divide the lens into 3 sections: the top is for distance, the middle for intermediate vision, and the bottom for close-up vision.

The added segment provides clear vision at arm’s length distance, the area that is usually blurred for bifocal wearers. These can be useful for people who need to work or read at 2 distances.
• Progressive lenses: Progressive lenses have a smooth transition between the sections of the lens with no line dividing the sections. Both bifocals and trifocals can be progressive. However, there is a drawback here - some distortion on the outer edges of the lenses.

But many people prefer progressive lenses for the cosmetic advantage they have - they never reveal the user wears bifocals as there is no line of distinction between the sections of the lens.

Materials

Glass has been the only material possible for many centuries. It has plenty of positive sides but there are disadvantages either.
• Regular glass lenses are not as easy to scratch as plastic lenses. Besides, they are used for many types of prescriptions. But they are heavier than plastic lenses.
• High-index or aspheric glass lenses are made of material that is compressed; as a result less material is used than for regular glass lenses production. High-index lenses are much thinner than normal lenses and can be ideal for people with a strong correction who would ordinarily need very thick glasses.

The purpose of using high-index material and special design techniques is to make the lenses thinner and provide built-in protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Plastic was invented not so long ago but it has become the primary material for many industries including eyeglass lenses production.

• Hard resin lenses are much lighter than glass lenses, almost half the weight. Hard resin lenses are more durable but more easily scratched than glass.

• High-index or aspheric plastic lenses have the same effect as high-index glass lenses. These lenses are manufactured from a compressed material to make lenses thinner and provide built-in protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays.



• Polycarbonate lenses are extremely impact-resistant that makes them popular with athletes, people who need safety glasses for work and kids. Polycarbonate lenses are light and comfortable, and have built-in UV protection.

Coatings

• UV coating provides protection for your eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. A UV coating can be found on both tinted and clear lenses.


If you choose polycarbonate and high-index lenses remember they already have UV protection.
• Scratch-resistant coating is particularly helpful for plastic lenses, because they are more easily scratched than glass.

• Antireflective coating : This coating is particularly effective for reducing eye fatigue for computer operators and anyone driving at night. Besides, antireflective lenses enhance appearance by removing all distracting reflections. However, be extra careful with such glasses as the coating can easily wear away.

• Mirror coating is popular with those who dislike anybody seeing their eyes. They can come in a variety of colors.


This coating protects the eyes of the wearer against glare from surfaces such as water or snow.

• Tinted lenses can be tinted in a range of colors. All lens materials except glass can be tinted in any color desired.

Shades of any color ranges from 1 to 4 with 3 being the most common sunglass shade ordered. Solid and gradient tints are available.

• Photochromatic lenses can be a good option for those who need to go in and out often as the lenses automatically darken when you go outdoors and return to normal when you go back indoors.



• Polarized lenses are perfect for outdoor wear. They tend to cut down on glare and give better clarity and depth perception.

Earrings make any woman look more charming and attractive. There are appropriate types for every occasion and any woman.


Due to the fact they are close to the face, earrings must compliment one’s face shape. There are also several basic styles that can be worn from day to evening and are appropriate for a variety of clothing options and occasions.

How to choose earrings?

You should identify your face shape first to decide what style of earrings will compliment your face best. Consider what will enhance your good features. Take into consideration the cut and color of your hair, your skin tone, your body size and clothes you’re wearing.

Round Face Shape(Salma Hayek)



If your face is round you better choose lean, long and angular curved lines. It will elongate and add a little angle to your face. You can wear drop earrings in dangles, ovals and oblongs. Square and rectangular earrings are also good options, as are angular earrings. But make sure that you avoid small studs and hoops and chunky large earrings as well.


Oval Face Shape(Megan Fox)



This is a classic shape that will work with almost any style of earring. You can always do some experiment with different styles and decide what looks good on your face. You can wear earrings with soft shapes like studs, ovals and teardrops. Spiraled dangly pair will look cute on you. Pearl, diamond, or gemstone studs can compliment this face shape if worn with a shorter hair style. However, avoid wearing incredibly long and thin shapes that will just pull you down.

Heart-Shaped Face(Jennifer Aniston)



Look for earrings that are wider at the bottom – tear drops, chandeliers, triangle shapes that begin with a point. Even circular and oval earrings will work with your face shape, so long as they don’t taper as they descend. Pyramid style earring will also look pretty. Steer clear of earrings that are heart shaped very short earrings.

Square Face Shape(Paris Hilton)



Earrings with a round and angular edge will work best because it will help in softening a square face. As long as you avoid harsh angles and square shapes, you can wear just about anything in the earring category. Hoops and curved edges will add the necessary roundness, and drop earrings, long tear drops, or multi-tiered dangling earrings will give a square shape some length.

Long or Thin Face Shape(Sarah Jessica Parker)



You are advised to wear simple studs and chandelier style earrings. Three dimensional earrings will add fullness to your face. To widen this face shape wear circular, triangular (with the point up) and square earrings. However, remember to avoid flat or dangling earrings.

Diamond Face Shape(Nicole Kidman)



Wear short and wide earrings. A straight line and curves combination will work well for you. Besides, try studs and small drop earrings. Be sure to avoid long and thin earring style.

Triangular Face Shape(Victoria Beckham)



If you have a triangular face you need earrings that will soften the sharp angles. Large oval or small circular earrings will work well for you. Prefer earrings with curves at the bottom and avoid ones that come to a point.
Now you have some tips to help you. Go ahead and choose a nice pair!
