Oakley goodies in soon

I'm expecting my Oakley gear to arrive within the next week to week and a half.  Ohhh I'm so excited.  From left to right (see above) Toolbox backpack, x-metal Juliet's with Ruby Iridium lens, Juliet Vault, and 2 Oakley Lanyards (cement and skull).

My gf gets a deal on it cause she's sooo special...heheh.  The order got put in about a month back.  Was worried cause they kept pushing back the ship date on the Juliet's.  I discovered about a week ago that the Ruby's were discontinued...was a little alarmed but found out (to my relief) that I may be getting the very last ones.  Was going to go with the Fire Iridiums with Plasma frame as alternate.  Toolbox - I've been looking for a backpack for the last year (for those of you that know me...i'm a whore when it comes to bags - backpacks, laptop bags, luggage).  My original choice was the 'Kitchen Sink' but *that* got discontinued before the order was placed.  Juliet Vault - when the Ruby's arent on my head/face they shall rest in the vault (these are +$600 sunglasses, yo).  Lanyards - My gf gave me her Nike/Bauer lanyard and I've been using it for a keychain for a bit....now i'll have the Oakley ones to rotate.

I love Oakley...

  1. ...because they make excellent sunglasses
  2. ...tres stylish
  3. ...status
  4. ...and i'm a consumer whore

Seriously, lots of technology behind dem sunglasses.  I wear my polarized XLJ's for all outdoor activites (physically demanding).  Optics are superb, lenses are shatter resistant, and they never fall off (Unobtainium temple socks and nose bomb).  You can see my fleetfeet photo (SunRun 06).  Oakley = *so* baller.  Nuff said.

I guess I should also mention that I collect sunglasses.  I mean i don't keep them on a shelf to oogle...no...i have many sunglasses cuase each one has a specific use.

Polarized RayBan - I use for driving and are my general/daily use specs

Half Jacket XLJ - Outdoor physical activites; Running, watersports, team stuff.

Versace - Seldom used, for formal wear only

A Wire - in retirement, keep in my sock drawer.

My first pair were the T-wire...they were stolen from my car, circa 1995.  Then i got the StraightJackets...stolen as well, home robbery.  Yes, the love affair with Oakley has gone (and will go) on for years.

I <3 Oakley  (oh yeah...you too bbgirl...erm i mean first....heehehe)
