AVOIDING BOREDOM @ RED CARPET

When women make an effort, they're projecting their healthy self-worth onto the world. Red carpet can be so dangerous. But playing safe is so no no. Sticks to the same boring color palette every single time hits the red carpet (black, white and nude)? It won't be memorable. It's so boring that you can't even remember a single one unmemorable looks. The playing safe formula is simple: hair down, monochrome outfit, one piece of gold jewelry, be feminine and voila you just literally look beautifully dull. Get out there and play with color, texture and silhouette! Find your own signature style!

But these pictures from In Style can show us that red carpet can be fun too, without being so safe and dull.

CARRERA

There's gotta be something special if Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Usher decided to use Carrera sunglasses in their music videos. I know, I know it's must be an endorsement. But still for me personally to see four of them using the same sunglasses at the same period of time is quiet shocking.

Let's see Carrera was born in 1956 after Carrera Panamericana race. They patented the optyl material for glasses in 1964. Optyl is material that is considered as hypoallegenic and lighter than plastic. They started the snow products in the seventies. They also released the Porsche Coleection in 1979. Since then they were known on sports events. Check their long history on Carreraworld.com.

So I guess after 5 decades are well known in sports area, it's time for Carrera to move on in fashion stardom. It's sporty and elegant. It's simple and fashionable. You can check their designs on hi sunglasses.com.
