RayBan Erika Sunglasses ft. WatchShop.com

Most of my life I've hated sunglasses, I just didn't like them (apart from my polkadot minnie mouse ones I had in primary school as they were amazing!) but since learning to drive last year I wear them constantly and they've become a staple in my handbag and in the car too.

I have a few cheaper pairs and a couple of high end sunglasses too, I love my Marc by Marc Jacobs ones but when the opportunity arose to try some Raybans, I couldn't contain my excitement as I've wanted them for over a year now. They have so many classic styles that look amazing but the sunglasses that I really wanted were the *Rayban Erika Metal Sunglasses (£107, WatchShop.com) which I was very kindly sent a few weeks ago from Watch Shop. WatchShop.com is known for selling gorgeous jewellery and watches but they've recently started selling designer sunglasses.

The Erika style is just gorgeous, it's slightly similar to the wayfarer style but the frame is smaller, thinner and not as bulky, in my opinion. I love the classic style, design and the option I have is the unisex colour/style with black frames and grey graduated lens. The sunglasses come with the cute tan Rayban sunglasses case which isn't as padded as I hoped it would be. It also comes with a lens cleaning cloth and manufactures information note on how to clean, maintain and general information about the sunglasses and the level of protection.

I have been wearing the sunglasses constantly as they're perfect for driving, they feel more secure than when I wear my cheaper plastic sunglasses and even though they are composed of metal, they actually feel comfortable. They offer great UV protection, they are easy to throw in my bag or keep in the car to use when I need them and they go with so many outfits, unlike some of my other sunglasses.

They are my first Raybans and I love them, from the little Rayban logo on the lens to the style of the frames and case. They are surprisingly comfortable, lightweight to an extent and less bulky than my plastic sunglasses with thicker frames. Unlike some larger glasses and sunglasses, these don't tend to give me a headache. There are so many other Rayban sunglasses to choose from on WatchShop.com as well as other designer brands including Versace, Calvin Klein and others.
