No, we are not talking about wars between countries but the
automobile wars...

Depending where on these rain-soaked isles you call home, this weekend may well be your last taste of toasty sunshine until 2013.
And if you’ll be dusting off your sunnies for one final time, remember these essential rules…
01. Indoors or at night?
If you’re not wearing your shades alfresco, you’ve probably got about a 30-second window before everyone thinks you’re a complete tool. So, no.
02. Size matters
Big glasses are proper glam, but strike a balance between your style and what you can pull off.
03. Perv check
Covertly checking the ladies out is one of the great joys of summer. But double-check the opacity of your eyewear beforehand.
04. Round face
North Korean moon-face Kim Jong-il was an expert at matching sunnies with face-shape, donning square frames to angulate his pudgy features.
05. Mirrored lenses
It’s proper disconcerting talking to someone in mirrored specs only to see your own mug staring back at you.
06. Match glasses and garms
Match the colour of your frames with your shoes; keep it subtle and you’ll look the money.
07. On top of your head?
A proper opinion divider. If you’re wearing them as some sort of weird, posy UV protecting tiara, then no. If it’s because you don’t own pockets, yes.
08. Upside down?
Don’t ever wear your glasses upside down, you’ll look like snooker player Dennis Taylor.
09. On trend
Retro, as opposed to the techy ’90s styles, are this summer’s main attraction. Tortoiseshell is a winner as are smaller frames.
10. Save your sunnies
Invest in a good pair of shades and don’t ditch ’em. You’re pretty much guaranteed that the style will come around every 10 years or so, so it’s good to play the long game.

I like this site very much, Its a really nice spot to read and get information. “Success is 80 attitude and 20 aptitude.” by Funmi Wale-Adegbite.
I’m only 15, but i’m trying to raise money to go on a expensive trip next year. I am planning on getting a summer job, but it usually only pays minimum wage. I just want other people’s opinions on whether its safe and a good idea to become a blogger to get money. thanks!.
