A Whole Bunch of Crap: My Fave Affordable Sunnies

Crap eyewear came into my life about 7 years ago when I started frequenting the west coast for work.  My intern back in the day showed up one day to drive me to showroom appointments (before i had a license or a car again) and she had on these super awesome tie dyed looking oversized way-farer type sunnies on.  I was all "GIRL, where'd you get those dope sunnies?!" And she was all "My neighbors make them!".  The next week when I saw that intern again she brought me all of these killer custom sunnies from her neighbors the CRAP guys.  Inside the arm of the sunglasses, one of the owners had written in sharpie "For Sally".  And on the other arm it said "The Beach Party".  This is when I officially started my love affair with CRAP eyewear.  I consider them my sunnies sponsor, even though I tend to buy from them as much as they send me over care packages of their awesome new styles.  I love CRAP because they say CRAP on them number one.  But also because the shapes of the sunnies are perfectly large and off and usually out of proportion exactly how I want my sunglasses to be.  And they are affordable.  At about $60 per pair, I am not going to kill myself if I sit on them in the car on accident or if I leave them on set in the photo studio.  I can just buy a new pair.  Versus my Celine sunnies which are $500 so I am petrified to wear them because I will lose them.  Plus CRAP hits all of the right eyewear trends at all of the right times.  I love their aviators, the cat eye, the TV shape, the Nudie Mag, the Beach Party, basically all of the eyewear they make.  So go get you some CRAP!
