Sun Cheaters

About a month ago (or maybe longer than that) Corporate decided to let our little store carry a few models of the very exclusive, hand-assembled-in-France, and of course, pricey spectacles of Louis Vuitton to let us get to know the line a little better before moving to the new store (in October). We all got excited to see the sunglasses and try them on ourselves, but we were a bit overwhelmed about selling them, as they are so different from the leather goods that we're so used to showing customers.

Part of selling your products well is knowing what goes with what face. So with the print-outs we were given we tried to determine whose face is what. While some of us were obviously round, and some square, it was particularly hard for everyone, myself included, to determine what shape my face was. To be honest I can't even remember what we decided on, but I know some thought I had a diamond face. Who knew there was such a thing?!

All of that was settled tonight when a friend from Sunglass Hut confirmed that I, indeed, had a diamond face because of my prominent cheekbones-- "a model's face." Haha. Funnier yet is that a customer agreed when she heard this comment.

So tonight I am researching what shapes go with a diamond face and I am finding out that oval, square and rimless are the best frames to go with. So will my next Louis purchase actually be sunglasses, and not a handbag? We'll see :) But for now here are the contenders.

My first entry!!!

This month, the 26th to be precise, marks my 7th year here in the US. While I did live in Florida for a while and New York for an even shorter while, Chicago has been my home of choice for nearly 7 years now. Or not! I will probably elaborate on that later but for now let's focus on my introductory blog.

Growing up I've always tried to keep a journal whenever I can, but life happened and it became a major task. Lately, however, whenever I get those days when life does not seem to not make sense at all I wish that I had somehow written something, anything, that I could go back to and tell myself, "Ahhh...life is beautiful!!!" So this is the very purpose of this blog.

Rekindling my love of writing would be reason number 2. And for this I'd like to specifically thank two people in my life who for some reason would not lose faith in me, and would always encourage me to write again. Geda and Les you know I always hold a place for you in my heart. Thanks for being true amazing friends all these years despite the great distance!

Reason number 3 is to reconnect with family and friends, meet new ones and hopefully provide inspiration and entertainment to everyone who happens to stumble upon my entries. So please read away! :)
