Charlotte is here modeling these completely adorable sunglasses by Eyes Cream Shades. We were lucky enough that they sent over these, in shade “Strawberry Ice”, and two other pair, one in Vanilla Malt and one in Choco Rasberry. That’s where you come in. Charlotte said there was no way she could keep all three pairs, although she LOVES sunglasses and has, oh, i don’t know, 10 pairs of them, she wanted to give these to 2 special kids out there.

Eyes Cream Shades caters to kids in the cutest way. Not only are their colors perfectly balanced with funky ideas and classic shades, but the names are fun to pick out as well. Blueberry Ice, Pineapple Patch, and Cotton Candy make my mouth water!! More importantly though, sunglasses have a purpose.

After having the sunglasses on hand, I can honestly say we have broken our fair share of Gymboree sunglasses and these glasses from Eyes Cream Shades are NOT flimsy at ALL. They are a solid pair of glasses that are going to last you through some drops on the ground and thrown in the car seat. (not that I suggest that).  They are shatter resistant and have 100% UV protection lenses. They even come polarized on select styles. Before I recieved these, I wouldn’t have thought there was a difference between the ones I get at the mall and other kinds, but now that I have both on hand, there IS a difference. Its in the weight, the feel, the look, and how they protect. I’m not sure if Charlotte’s sunglasses wardrobe will ever be the same.

Sunglasses are important YEAR ROUND. While they are a fashion accessory, Charlotte wanted me to remind you that your child’s eyes are very important and deserve to be taken care of from the beginning on. Healthy sunglass habits will keep them going for life and keep their eyes safe.

About Eyes Cream Shades:

PROTECT OUR CHILDRENS’ EYES
Sunglasses are not “toys” or novelty items, but serve an important fuction- protecting our eyes from harmful uv rays. The cumulative effects of longterm exposure to such rays can contribute to the following:
cataracts, macular degeneration, photokeratitis, ptergium, as well as skin cancer around the eyelids.

Children must wear quality sunwear with polycarbonate lenses that provide 100% UVA&UVB protection.
Eyes Cream Shades styles are fun, comfortable , and trendy…… Here are what a few of our customers have to say about the importance of kids wearing adequate sunwear…………….. ( FaithSmith – Founder, Eyes Cream Shades, Inc – ” The Kids Sunglass Expert”)

“I think that parents understand the importance of 100% UVA&UVB protection, but they need to know that lenses must be polycarbonate, and not plastic.”
Amy Reasoner; Eyes 4Kids, San Diego

” I prescribe Eyes Cream SHades for all my younger patients because you’re never too young for protection from the sun.”
-Dr Quinton; Henderson, Las Vegas

“It is important to start early in protecting the human eye from excessive sunlight. Therefore, parents should urge children, even young ones, to wear sunglasses. Remember, radiation effects are long term and accumulative. Start the protection early in life to help prevent cataracts and sun damage.” – Malcolm R. Ing MD, Professor and Chair of Ophthalmology, John A Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii

“All kids need to be wearing polycarbonate lenses in their sunwear. We have carried the Eyes Cream Shades line virtually from when they began.”
- Robert Silva, A Child’s View, Mission Viejo

“Ultraviolet radiation has been implicated in cataract formation and macular degeneration. It is estimated that 80% of a child’s lifetime sun exposure occurs before age 18. Sunglasses are useless unless children wear them. Well fitting, good quality and comfortable children’s sunwear should be an absolute priority to reduct the ocular effects of ultraviolet radiation later in life.”
- Robert Lee, OD; Assistant Professor Southern California College Optometry

Eyes Cream Shades have appeared on kid actors in movies and magazines, and well, lets not forget get the Charlotte approval stamp.
