Eyeglasses As a Fashion Accessory

Have you ever thought of fashion with or without eyewear? Or how can one style with eyeglasses? Doesn’t this sound interesting? In the world of contact lenses, eyeglasses have become a necessity for the fashion industry. With various eyeglasses, people look different and fashionable. For example, aviator glasses for women and men have been famous for a long time. Still, people are loving the new variations of aviators from eyewear. 

Eyeglasses contribute a lot to the fashion world. Some people love to have various eyeglasses in their wardrobe. The style of the eyeglasses is made according to their attire. Various shapes and sizes of the eyeglasses made us look modish. Eyeglasses are not only needed for fashion but are required for a better vision. People wearing glasses should wear anti-glare glasses to save their eyes from the glare.

Eyeglasses not only include spectacles but also include sunglasses. People wearing both glasses and sunglasses look smart and experience a new look every time they wear different eyeglasses. Previously, people who used prescription glasses used to wear sunglasses and glasses simultaneously to see things. But with the advanced technologies, sunglasses are now available with a prescription for people who wear prescription glasses.

Types of lenses for glasses

There are various types of lenses for different people wearing prescription glasses. Doctors recommend various lenses according to the needs of the patient. But it is important to note that wearing various lenses does not stop them from doing their fashion.

  • Single lenses- People who need glasses either to see distant objects or near objects. In this case, people face difficulty in seeing things in front and distance and doctors recommend them to wear glasses with these lenses.
  • Varifocal glasses- People who face difficulties seeing both near and distant objects are recommended to wear the varifocal lenses. These lenses help people balance the three visions, far, near and intermediate. Thus glasses varifocal are a modification of the bifocal lenses and help people for a better vision.
  • Blue light glasses- The glasses with blue light coatings are recommended to almost all people wearing glasses or not. These are especially recommended for the ones who spent most of the time in front of the screen. The blue light emitting from the screen is harmful and thus blue light glasses are required.
  • Reading glasses- These are recommended usually after the age of 40 when people experience a vision disturbance with small prints. These glasses are required for reading purposes only.

These are a few common lenses that are recommended by doctors for prescription eyeglasses. With lenses comes the question of choosing the right frame for fashion purposes. Let us see what frames can help us to solve the vision problem and also follow the latest fashion trends.

When it comes to considering eyeglasses as a fashion accessory, it’s worth exploring the benefits of blue light glasses. These specialized glasses are designed to mitigate the potential harmful effects of blue light emitted by digital screens.

Frames for fashion

  • Oversized glasses- The hype that these glasses have created among young people are commendable. These glasses are smart and look very stylish when worn. They are unisexual glasses. The oversized glasses are available in various shapes and sizes. They are slightly bigger than the usual glasses and thus termed oversized glasses. They are also available in different variations. These glasses can be paired with denim and shirts or any casual outfits.
  • Geometric glasses- The geometric frames are new in the industry but are slaying the fashion industry with their uniqueness. Different geometric shapes look amazing on the faces and are very different. They are available in various shapes and sizes and are unisexual. These are also available in full-rimmed, half-rimmed, and rimless glasses. Wear different geometrical glasses with various outfits to get the proper look you want with your glasses.
  • Tortoiseshell glasses- The name says that these glasses were originally made from tortoiseshells and were a little heavy. But with the development of the eyewear industry and technologies, these glasses are made comfortable for people to wear. The uniqueness of the glasses lies in the colour pattern. The colour combination of the glasses is attractive and is suitable for everybody. These glasses can be styled with formals, casuals, and semi-formals. They are available in various shapes and sizes and are suitable for every face shape. 
  • Clear glasses- The broad borders and the nude colours of the glasses do not add any extra feature to the face but uniquely highlight the face. These glasses are available in different shapes and sizes and are best suited for casual wear. Wear any coloured casual t-shirts or tops with blue denim and the clear glasses in the pub will grab people’s attention.
  • Square glasses- These glasses are one of the smartest glasses. They are a perfect fashion accessory with almost every outfit. Wearing formals in the office or casually at a party or a friends’ meeting, these glasses are your best friend. Wear them anywhere and at any time.

These are some of the frames that one can buy as a fashion accessory and for their eyes. They are ready to wear everywhere and will compliment your every look.

How To Find The Top Bitcoin Casinos Online

Bitcoin is nothing new, it’s been around for a while now – yet some people are still pretty skeptical when it comes to it. Science the price of one singular bitcoin reached a certain peak, many can’t obtain it – technically, not fully, there are lots of ways to get your hands on a piece of bitcoin! For various reasons many people shy away from bitcoin or other forms of cryptocurrency and deemed them as unattainable while that is not entirely true. Here’s how to find top bitcoin casinos online!

Do research

The best way to find a good bitcoin casino, it’s to do a bit of research. It’s generally not a good idea to jump into something without having prior knowledge. The same can be said for bitcoin casinos and your possible time and money investments. Knowing how those casinos work can save you both the time and the money. A lot of things go into this. It’s definitely far from a regular kind of casino, but it also holds some of the same principles. Before jumping into it and choosing the first website that pops out, make sure you know what you are dealing with beforehand!

Pick reputable sites

Picking reputable sites is essential in order to have a good experience. Nowadays anyone can open up a website and claim whatever they want – this can lead to scams and possible cyber attacks. And no one likes to be in that kind of danger, so making sure that the bitcoin casino is legitimate is key. Whilst some people are too skeptical, others are too trusting, falling for fake websites and losing money and personal data along the way. But not all websites are like that, check out this list and see some of the reputable casinos you can choose from. It’s all about making this experience safe and fun, as it should be! 

Take a look at what they offer

Some betting websites offer lots of rewards and bonuses for their new clients – this is a great opportunity to get something beneficial out of it. If you have a few online casinos in mind, check out their policies for new clients, and how big and useful are the bonuses. These bonuses can be essential when starting your crypto journey, everything you get for free is a plus! It’s a good idea to take two or multiple casinos and compare them – see what option suits your needs more and what’s the most lucrative option at the end of the day! This goes hand in hand with doing research and reading reviews – it’s the best way to see what are the odds you’ll win, if others succeeded and how to get there!

Popular websites

Probably the easiest way to find a good casino online is to search for the most popular ones! This might seem like the only sane way of doing this. It’s also the quickest – all you have to do is google it! Some bitcoin casinos are popular since they are fair and square, whilst others are not as much, there is a reason why people tend to gravitate towards the same casinos all the time – so a good reputation and popularity is definitely a plus! Also, if you don’t find any of the most popular casinos interesting, the sky’s the limit when it comes to it, feel free to find something that truly speaks to you. 

Laws and regulations

It’s essential for you to check out if you can even legally start your bitcoin journey. Some places welcomed bitcoin with open arms, whilst it’s not so welcomed in other places. Every state or country has its own rules and regulations when it comes to it, and not every country will have its own designated bitcoin casino. This might be just another thing to think about, but it can also be helpful in the long run. The last thing you want to do is get in trouble with the law by indulging in this behavior – seeking rules and regulations is way better getting started, not to mention that you can learn more about the law in general! 

Reviews are key

Nowadays, the easiest way to test if something is worth your while is by reading the reviews, regardless of whether it’s food, a club, or something like a beautiful vacation resort. While this should always be taken with a grain of salt. It’s still pretty useful to know what other clients think about the casino, are there any bad reviews, and are they serious? This is crucial, especially if it’s your first time, before jumping into it it’s a good idea to truly take a look at the website and examine it a little bit. Seek blogs or basic reviews in order to get a sneak peek before investing your time, it’s best to know what you are getting yourself into!

Ask around

Are your friends and coworkers into cryptocurrency? They might know a thing or two about bitcoin casinos, and this is the best way to ensure that the casino is actually good! If you have someone who is experienced in something like this, try to ask them for recommendations, tips, and tricks, all to make your experience better. If you sadly don’t have anyone around you with similar interests, try mingling online and join a community of bitcoin casino regulars, and befriend them. Infiltrating into this kind of setting can be beneficial for your bitcoin journey. And you’ll also learn a lot of things in the meantime!

At the end of the day, there are lots of reasons why people should be alert and should pay attention to where they leave their sensitive information and money. While a casino might sound like lots of fun, it still has some serious things that can ruin your experience. Instead of just jumping into something like that, see other options, test out everything and enjoy the free rolls as much as you can! When it comes to bitcoin casinos, it’s all about having fun, but also gaining a bit in return, so pursuing it isn’t such a bad idea – especially when you are just starting and still enjoying the benefits.

I shot the video in Los Angeles with Allyson from Pear Juice and a cast and crew of all women (besides our amazing producer Al!).

Pussy Riot Release New Song ‘Laugh It Off’

Pussy Riot have released a new song called ‘Laugh It Off’, which features New York-based artist VÉRITÉ and the rapper LATASHÁ. Check it out below.

Talking about the release, which coincides with International Day of Gender Equality, Nadya Tolokonnikova said in a statement: “Women-identified and LGBTQ+ people don’t need to be empowered, we need tools and funds to empower ourselves.”

VÉRITÉ added: “Laugh It Off is such an appropriate title to this song because as women existing in male dominated spaces, we’re constantly expected to be accommodating and deflect strange, presumptuous behavior gracefully and without ruffling any feathers. Collaborating with PussyRiot & Latashá, these unapologetically strong women who don’t give a fuck about playing nice and who’s mission is supporting and amplifying female, non-binary and LGBTQ+ voices in music and beyond feels right and I’m stoked for the world to hear it.”

‘Laugh It Off’ follows ‘Punish’, a song co-written by Tove Lo, who serves as executive producer on Pussy Riot’s forthcoming project. In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Tolokonnikova launched Ukraine DAO, a new digital organization that sold NFTs of the Ukrainian flag to raise funds for Ukrainian civilian groups.

Bob Dylan Announces New Book ‘The Philosophy of Modern Song’

Bob Dylan has announced a new book titled The Philosophy of Modern Song, which will be released on Tuesday, November 8 via Simon & Schuster. It marks his first book of new writing since 2004’s Chronicles: Volume One and his first since winning the Nobel Prize for literature in 2016.

Dylan began working on The Philosophy of Modern Song in 2010. The collection includes over 60 essays that Dylan wrote about artists like Stephen Foster, Elvis Costello, Hank Williams, and Nina Simone. According to a press release, Dylan “analyzes what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan’s unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150 carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work’s transcendence.”

In a statement, Simon & Schuster’s president and CEO Jonathan Karp said: “The publication of Bob Dylan’s kaleidoscopically brilliant work will be an international celebration of songs by one of the greatest artists of our time. The Philosophy of Modern Song could only have been written by Bob Dylan. His voice is unique, and his work conveys his deep appreciation and understanding of songs, the people who bring those songs to life, and what songs mean to all of us.”

Bob dylan released his most recent album, Rough and Rowdy Ways, in 2020.
