Discotheque Confusion: Choose or Lose

ere at FlashyShades, we've been a bit fixated on the Chanel 5018 sunglasses: from their runway debut on Agyness Deyn to magazine editorials featuring Ashley Olsen to their many Nicole Richie paparazzi shots.

Yet somehow, we missed this sighting of Pharrell Williams donning the Chanel shades. Who owns the look, Nicole or Pharrell? Make your way over to one of our favorites, Discotheque Confusion, to cast your vote.

(Lindsay Lohan, You Can) NEVER HIDE

uch like the slogan of her latest and greatest favorite shades, Lindsay Lohan can, in fact, never hide. She was photographed earlier this week at her rehab facility, Promises.

Who knew Ray-Ban's advertisements were such astute commentary on our paparazzi state?

The good news for Wayfarer lovers is that these Ray-Bans have hit the Italian wholesale sites.
Cost: $105
Colors: Red, Black, Orange, White, Havana Brown, Dark Havana
Retailer: Otticanet

I, for one, think Wayfarers have reached their saturation point, but our pretty young things seem to feel differently. Ashlee and Nicole will no doubt have keep this style on top all summer long.

Cool Like MK

n Sunday of this week, Cool Like Chloe speculated that Ashlee Simpson was emulating Mary-Kate Olsen's unique style, but not quite hitting the mark.

"I'd take [MK's] Rayban's with seventies stripes over [Ashlee Simpson's] punk-pop stripes any day."

Who wouldn't? But it seems Ms. Simpson is catching on and was seen this week donning MK's signature Ray-Ban Wayfarers while shopping in L.A. What's next? The Balenciaga boots? Although, I guess this is better than when she was just copying her sister's look.

A Little Linkage

veryone knows that link posts are the lazyblogger's post of choice. That said, without further ado:

SuperiorPics: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are hot. FYI.

Haha: Discreet ogling advisory as Polaroid sunglasses ad campaign.

DigitalSpy: Madonna as fashion-ignorant sunglasses advocate.

TastefulCelebs: Predicts Ashlee Simpson's sunglasses future.

GossipWord: Targets the Wayfarer trend in "Kirsten Dunst, The 80s Called. They Want Their Sunglasses Back."

TheDarkHat: Does not appreciate Lindsay Lohan's sunglasses, tights.

CNN: "Barbie Bandit"'s Mom speaks out in daughter's defense. After reviewing the sunglass-less mugshots, "Barbie" may have been an overstatement.

A Vast Improvement

et's give Ashlee Simpson a big round of applause for looking much, much better than when we last checked in with her. She still has a bizarre penchant for those knitted hat things, though. Below, she was photographed while shopping in Los Angeles on Sunday.

She is wearing Marc Jacobs Scott MJ 016 sunglasses:
Cost: $167 - $180
Colors: Grey, Black, Brown, Blue, Gold
Retailer: Otticanet


Once again, it seems she's taken a page from big sis Jess' book. Jessica Simpson (along with a slew of other celebrities) was photographed wearing these Marc Jacobs aviators earlier this fall. [See: Who Doesn't Have These MJ's?, Heidi Strolls For Two, Lindsay Takes Her MJ's Out For a Spin]

Na Na Na!

f you've been keeping up with the web this morning, then you've certainly already read of Angelina Jolie's headline-worthy interview with Vogue, in which she provides details on the beginnings of the superfamily now known as the Jolie-Pitts.

Ms. Jolie is currently here in New York with Brad Pitt and their lovelies to promote her new film, The Good Shepard, with photographers carefully documenting their every move. Below, she was captured arriving at their hotel.

Sometimes, her looks approach sensory overload and these Tom Ford Whitney Sunglasses are not helping matters. I have to say, I like how she does not stop and pose for the cameras. In fact, I doubt she broke stride.

Oh, Ashlee.

eople's "Star Tracks" photographed Ashlee Simpson in dire need of that cup of coffee she was lined up for at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in Malibu on Saturday.

Yikes! You can't hide behind those Tom Ford Whitney sunglasses, Ms. Simpson. Don't you have an assistant to get that coffee for you?
