Pick the right sunglasses to suit your face as you brave the summer.
Oval -
If your face is longer than wide and chin is slightly narrower than forehead then you have an Oval Face. This is the most versatile face shape because of its balanced proportions. Most frame shapes work with Oval face. However, it is advisable to look for frames which are wider than the broadest part of your face.
What will suit best: Square, rectangular and geometric shapes which add angles to soft curves.
Avoid: Frames that are too long for your features.
Square -
Strong jawline, a broad forehead and wide cheekbones define a square face. This face shape is usually proportional in length and width.
Because square faces are so angular, Reduce the angles with soft, curvy styles that will give the face some definition. The classic ovals also works well for this face shape.
What will suit best: Choose round, oval or cat eye glasses to soften and add contrast to the face.
Avoid: Geometric and square shaped frames that accentuate angles of the face.
Round -
A rounder face has an equal width and length and is characterized by soft curves with few angles, if any. For round face, choose sunglasses equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part of the face. Angular frames with rectangular or geometric shapes create balance, minimise the curves and add definition to a round face. These frames als help to minimize the fullness of the face.
What will suit best: Wider frames with angular/rectangular styles. Rectangular and horizontal Frames.
Avoid: Round frames as they make your face rounder and large frames as they shorten your face.
Heart-shaped Face -
High broad forehead and a narrow jaw line define the contour of a heart-shaped face.
What will suit best: Narrow rounded or square frames, aviators.
Avoid: Styles wider at the top.
Small Face -
If you have a small face, don’t wear oversized sunglasses because they’ll make your face look smaller.
Tip: As a general rule of thumb, you should always choose a style that is opposite your face shape.

From the Sketchpad - Fall 2010
Fall 2010 is in full swing here at Stacia. I know it's weird, Spring has just hit the sales floor and yet I'm wrapping up Fall 2010 which is in showrooms now. Even my head is spinning. The design cycle never ends. Now that Fall 2010 is a wrap, I've just completed sketching Spring 2011! Yikes! But let's get back to Fall, which is most relevant now and what you'll be seeing in stores this July (why stores insist on presenting Fall merchandise in the height of Summer is beyond me!)
Once again, my brilliant 6 year-old son Campbell has come to my rescue. His artwork has always inspired me (see previous posts) and his little water-color creations that come home from kindergarten never cease to trigger endless color combinations for my space-dye palettes. This one in particular (see above) inspired my Fall 2010 bamboo/cotton color "Solstice." I always do well with multi-colored space-dye patterns featuring a base color of black with pops of vibrant colors. They go well with jeans and your everyday black. It's an easy way to wear "color" but still grounded by your basic black.
I love to share my design process with my customers so you all can see it's not some mass-produced churned-out designs, but rather a very personal design process. I can't wait for the Solstice hoodie to hit stores this Summer. I think you're going to love this new color combination and as always, feel completely comfortable and cozy in my scrumptious bamboo/cotton knits. More inspiration to follow...!
