Fall 2010: Red or Dead

FYI: smart money has all things red as a significant trend this fall. Don't believe me? Ask Dolce & Gabbana.

Their fall 2010 campaign features Vlada Roslyakova, Olga Sherer and Zuzana Gregorova in every shade of fluorescent leopard print imaginable and Carmen Miranda-worthy headgear. And red-framed sunglasses.

Red Rules, Part Deux

must admit, Sienna Miller pulls the red trend off with aplomb. Take that, Hayden Panettiere.

She's making the press circuit on behalf of her new film, Interview. For me, the highlight of her New York Magazine profile was her quote:

[W]e did improvise some. One day, Steve [Buscemi] was looking at photos of me online and I said, “Oh, no! Don’t look at that one—I look like a slut.” And then I get new pages and he’s put that scene—with “I look like a slut”—in the script. After that, I was more careful about what I said to Steve.

Sienna calling herself a slag? I chuckled.

(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.

I'm Bringing Flashy Back.

oodness gracious! You may find yourself thinking, 'Quite some time has elapsed, FlashyShades, hasn't it?' And it has.


But I missed the old blog and want to thank those of you who have hassled/encouraged me to come back to it (especially ALLUREfashion, Rebel:FashionWithoutACause, Model Citizen, and, of course, my blogging BFF's, Lizze and the PublicityStunters.

Expect regular updates for the foreseeable future and a site overhaul in the coming weeks.

I've been sloppier than Lindsay Lohan without y'all:

These poor sunglasses are but two weeks old! 3/15/07: "According to sources inside the Manhattan hotel suite, La Lohan stuffed three bags full of gear from L.A.'s trendy Milk Boutique. She then snapped up not one, but seven pairs of new, limited edition Ray Ban shades, because, as she told our source, she didn't like wearing the same sunglasses every day."

Happy days are here again:
