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.

I'm Feeling Yummy Head to Toe

orget fall's looming duldrums. Its Spring/Summer 2008, baby! Well, in the Ready-to-Wear world, anyway.


I (ticketless, of course) walked by the Bryant Park shows last night at 8 PM, eager to catch a peek of Miss Gwen Stefani and her L.A.M.B. show, but to no avail.

Here's what I would have caught inside: models Georgia Frost and Ines Crnokrak keeping the white wayfarer trend alive both on the runway and in their standard hamming-it-up-backstage photos with Chanel Iman.

Upgrade B

n case you're into this kind of thing: Beyonce's music video for her new single, "Upgrade U" premiered yesterday. While B waxes poetic about all things costly, her face is adorned with some Cazal vintage frames. That's sooo 2006 Gwen Stefani, B; you might as well bouffant your 'do, slather on the red lips and slip into your leopard print jacket while tossing Kingston to your roadie.


I kid, I kid. Lord knows I love the Cazal. (And Gwen Stefani for that matter.)

These aren't the precise model Beyonce is wearing, but you can't argue with these Cazal Vintage 946 Sunglasses.

Cost: $255
Colors: Rose, Grey

Gwen Stefani in Black & White

ere in New York City, Gwen Stefani was in town to perform on Saturday Night Life. As is her habit, she brought baby Kingston along with her on her travels.


And just like another blond singer showed us this week, Ms. Stefani buys her sunglasses in bulk. [See: Paris Redux, Refuelling Paris]


You may recognize her Louis Vuitton Bindi Sunglasses from her Wind It Up video. Click the image for a clearer view of the flash. [See: That Gwenny]

Out Like a Lamb

ho do you think is cuter: Gwen Stefani? Or her son, Kingston? Sometimes it is just too close to call!

PS - Dior makes a pair of sunglasses called Diorito. Ha! And I like them a lot! But, maybe they were designed for Britney Spears? I just don't know, y'all. Check them out HERE.

That Gwenny

wen Stefani is insatiable! She just cannot stop herself, can she? Her Wind It Up video alone features two really sweet pairs of sunglasses.




The sunglasses worn with her nun outfit (and on her album art, at right) are so special, she's taken to wearing them to her little hearts content.

She wore them to the American Music Awards last week to complement her blond banged, Michelle-Pfeiffer-in-Scarface look, which -- coincidentally -- was the theme of L.A.M.B.'s Spring/Summer '07 collection. As always, she is her best model.

Here, she is wearing them in the U.K.'s Sunday Times:

They are vintage Cazal sunglasses, model 905 and I would be wearing them all over the place if I was their proud owner too. Cazal makes some wild shades! Check them out at cazalsunglasses.com, but like anything vintage, they aren't cheap.

Ms. Stefani is also seen in the video wearing Louis Vuitton Bindi Sunglasses, so named for the gem dangling from above their nosepiece. They were shown in LV's Fall/Winter 06-07 campaign, featuring Pharrell Williams and Kate Moss.

Cost: $875
Colors: White, Black
Retailer: Louis Vuitton stores

Yodeling aside, those are some lovely sunnies.

She and her husband, Jordan Something, were captured leaving London's private members' club, Home House. Though her luggage and trucker hat (really, Christina? Trucker hat?) were Louis Vuitton, her shades were all Valentino. See below.

Earlier this month, I was perplexed by Gwen Stefani's flashy gold sunglasses that she was photographed wearing on several occasions. Were they a prototype of her own design? (L.A.M.B.'s website currently does not offer any sunglasses.) Did she pick up a rare vinage pair with her Don't Speak royalties a decade ago?

But, then it struck me: I had seen those jeweled arms before! The answer had been on my own site this whole time! Blast!
