Le Specs, the Solution to the Murphy's Law of Eyewear

We have all been there: you’re at Neiman’s or Nordstrom and you find that pair of designer sunglasses you can’t live without. Maybe it is Gucci or Prada, but when you put them on you look like a movie star, or if not a movie star, at least a version of yourself that’s 10 years younger. Problem is, these are undoubtedly the one pair of sunglasses you will either throw in your bag accidentally and get them scratched, or your toddler will stretch them out while you’re not looking, or your dog will eat them for breakfast, or you will leave them behind in an Uber, at a restaurant, or maybe in a dressing room. Who knows really, because if you knew you would go back and get them, every last one of the perfect-pairs-of-sunglasses-you-had-back-when.Then there are the cheap ones you buy at maybe a truck stop or Claire’s when you are there with your daughter that cost maybe $10 and you can’t lose them to save your life. If you drop them in a swimming pool, someone else retrieves them. If you’re in your car, they’re always in the console, where they’re supposed to be. They don’t look great, but you literally could have them in your possession for years.It seems like it is the Murphy’s Law of eyewear.After this cycle repeats itself a few times, you get gun-shy on spending real money on sunglasses, right? Especially if you are like me and you have strategically stationed a couple pairs in your car, your purse, and your pool bag -- there are just too many to make them all expensive. But you want to look cute, right?We have found the perfect line for The Hive, Le Specs. Created in 1979, it is an iconic Australian brand that seems to be popping up in boutiques everywhere these days. It seems like the Aussies have the corner on the market for all things beach related. The price and styles are great; everything is less than $100, a price that may be cheap enough to magically keep them around.Don’t worry, we still have Krewe at The Shoe Hive and they have great new styles for spring that we just unpacked.
