I'm more interested in a different pair, the Jimmy Choo JJ Sunglasses.



They are by far the most interesting sunglasses I have seen in a while -- check out their joints! They're available in black and dark havana on Bergdorf Goodman's website for $345.

J'Adore

h, Paris! Charlize Theron would look great wearing the Gucci 2941 sunglasses no matter what, but there's something about the light in Paris that makes the image spectacular.

If Your Future's Not So Bright, You Gotta Wear Shades

ow I don't know about your tax bracket, but in mine, $750 sunglasses are not the answer to economic recession. The New York Times, however, begs to differ.

"They Go Well With Falling Stocks
PERHAPS, like falling hemlines, it’s an indication of a slowed economy, but this season, sunglasses are looking like face shields. Bernhard Willhelm’s collaboration with Linda Farrow yielded space goggles; and for his first eyewear collection, Martin Margiela offers a solid strip of polycarbonate across the eyes and nose. These Calvin Klein frames, like Yoko Ono’s signature Porsche wraparounds, resemble safety glasses, and that’s exactly the appeal. The future may not be bright. You may want to wear these shades. Sunglasses, $750 at Calvin Klein."[Source: NYTimes]

Below, the sunglasses as seen on the SS 08 Calvin Klein ready-to-wear runway and as advertised.

Le Sartorialist à Paris

ust like everyone else, j'adore le Sartorialist! At right, he has photographed Yasmin wearing the Ray-Ban 3016 Clubmaster sunglasses.

I love the Clubmaster model. It was my original "Flash of the Moment." They are available for $100 at campmor.com.

Marc Jacobs by Gwen

aving tried on these Marc Jacobs MJ 186/S this weekend, its safe to say that, sadly, I am no Gwen. But I love their funkiness on Ms. Stefani.

They are available in navy, turquoise and burgundy for £152 at London-Eyewear.co.uk.

Derek Lam Goes Downtown

hough Derek Lam's sunglasses preview at Soho's Ilori was peppered with New York socialites, his shades were the star of the fete.


'Or perhaps, like Lam, the Ilori attendees simply like the air of enigma a great pair of sunglasses can conjure. "It's like instant mystery," mused the designer. "There's no other accessory as transformative."'

Lam went on to say: "I had the glasses lined with mauve on the inside. That way, when you're having one of those mornings where you've got to run to the store to get milk for your coffee, and you've been out too late, and there's no time for makeup, the glasses themselves will give your skin a little pick-me-up."

Best of New York

udging by my internet history, nymag.com is my most beloved site on the entire world wide web. And this week they've released everyone's favorite edition, The Best of New York. The magazine named Oliver Peoples as the preeminent shades store:

"It’s been around for years, but Oliver Peoples takes the business of fitting frame to face seriously. The sales staff drills you on the clothes you wear, how tan you get during the summer, and whether there are parts of your face you want to downplay or draw attention to. While you’re answering, they’re watching your hair, face shape, and eyes to ensure they suggest glasses that enhance rather than detract. The handcrafted tortoise Ilsas ($350) are big, chic, and beach-worthy without being obnoxious, while frames like the eighteen-karat-gold, rimless OP-678s ($1,900) seem to float on the face."

Gemma Ward: Even More Bug-Eyed Than Usual for Dolce & Gabbana

f recent ad campaigns are to be believed, big is back. Was it ever really gone, though?


At right, Gemma Ward's SS08 campaign for Dolce & Gabbana, as photographed by Steven Klein.

Ms. Ward is wearing DG 6043, available for £172 on shop-com.co.uk.

Kat Von D Dons Jimmy Choo

'm no expert in matters of the heart, so I can't say one way or another if Kat Von D and Nikki Sixx are actually dating, as their MySpaces attest.

But I do know sunnies and I can state with complete assurance that Ms. Von D is wearing the newly introduced Jimmy Choo Jerry Sunglasses. Their sheer size borders on silly, but I am still strangely compelled by them.




Check them out at Neiman Marcus for $295.

"First of all, we’re crazy about the clip-on aspect. It’s very Brenda Walsh during her sophomore year of high school, in short, total perfection."

love it and I hate it when WhoWhatWear Daily does my sunglass blogging job better than I do. Its complicated. But I love them. And their pick for sunnies, L.A.-based designer Benjamin Montoya's line of Benjamin Eyewear.

I like the Kayne sunglasses in clear. They're $325 on leeleelunettes.com.

They tap in exceptionally well to this Spring's sheer trend.

A-List Flash

here's something natural about seeing Julia Roberts in New York City, wearing classic Ray-Bans. It just makes me feel like all is right in the world.

And just look at those curls!

Oh right, the sunnies are Ray-Ban RB 3309 available at Otticanet for $132.

Look What the Cobrasnake Dragged In

y the looks of things, Anna Wintour is none too pleased by having her photo taken by the "Cobrasnake." She probably just doesn't want to be mistaken for Cory Kennedy.

The editrix wears Chanel sunnies.
