    Suggestion

    Hi! It's Mark from Heavyglare here. I hope I'm not out of line, but when our name comes up in posts and blogs, we try to pay attention, and help where we can.
    I forgot about an Oakley that you might like. It's called the Commit. There are two lens shapes for it. It works like the Half Jacket or Flak Jacket and is designed for women. It has a much less aggressive look than the Half Jacket, Flak Jacket or Jawbone. With regard to the Rudy Project Girl line, it's the same as the regular line with regard to frame shape and construction, just in softer colors. Parts and lenses even interchange with the non-girl versions.
    I hope this helps!

    I just purchased a pair of Liberty Sport MX20's from Lenscrafters. They are a cool dark blue shiney metallic looking frame and I put polarized silver mirror coated lenses in them. They are pretty hot! They have all size ranges of these. They had them with the RecSpecs which are usually ugly as sin but this particular style looks like normal sporty sunglasses. Check them out, the price was great.

    I have a small, narrow face so most glasses are overly large on me. I have Smith's that work well - I think they are Toasters or something like that....

    +1 for Oakley Commit
    I have the the YSC edition, they're white and pink with a little YSC ribbon on the sides. Love them! They fit great and look somewhat feminine without being girly. They're currently being held hostage because I'm finally able to have the Rx Transitions lenses put in them or I'd post a picture.

    Every 2 years i seem to lose a pair of prescription sunglasses while kayaking. I just got replacements at costco - $100 or so for a pair of polarized prescription lenses with a curved metal frame. I put transitions lenses in the glasses that I bought at the same time figuring that'll give me a backup for 2 years from now when I lose this pair.

    And I went ahead and got some contacts, figuring what that at least I'd have them for using regular contacts - think it wouldn't suck so bad rolling the kayak and losing non-prescription sunglasses, but then realized getting river or ocean water in my eyes with contacts is not the best idea ever either.

    I have Rudy Projects because I have a really bad astigmatism and can only get wrap sunglasses with an insert.

    Another option, for those with just "bad" vision as opposed to bad eye shape, is Zeal Optics. I have non-Rx sunglasses that I wear with my contacts and love them. They do make Rx glasses, but are a bit pricey, and my insurance covered the Rudy's from my eye doctor.
