Breaking!

Trusty New York magazine has the insider scoop on Proena Schouler's Fall 2008 sunglasses , including some sweet cat-eyes and the oh-so-trendy John Lennon-esque round frames.

"These sunglasses are so fresh, they don’t even have a price tag yet. This is the first glimpse of the shades; they’re not being presented to insiders until August market week. Though it's as yet unknown which stores will be stocking these little lovelies, we can tell you that they’ll be hitting the streets around October/November. So mark your calendars now."

DualStar and Uncle Karl

ome sunglasses just won't fade into obscurity. Here at FlashyShades we've been chronicling the ascent of the dual-tone Chanel 5018 sunglasses from their runway debut on Agyness Deyn to their ubiquity on 1st trimester Nicole Richie.

And it seems the Olsens are just as fixated. Ashley brought and wore them for her photo shoot with Marie Claire and now Mary Kate is elbowing in on her sister's sunnies this week in Paris. Do you think they share or they each have their own pair?



Appropriately enough, MK wore them to the Chanel show. Not to be outdone, Ashley wore the Chanel 5117 sunglasses. Check them out at SunglassesItaly.
