Alex & Chole Santa Cruz Eyewear

ACSCglasses.jpg Alex & Chole Santa Cruz Sunglasses: Love the classic aviator frames but can do without a shiny gold or silver frame? You may want to check out a pair of the Santa Cruz Sunglasses by Alex & Chloe. Made of Italian acetate these luscious chocolate frames are stylish & understated without blending in and becoming invisible. The gradient lens adds an extra touch of sexiness and mystery to those who wear them. Who wants to wear glasses that others aren’t noticing? Also available in black and grey. Price: $190. More Info

Blinde-Ga Ga Galore Sunglasses

blindeglasses.jpgBlinde-Ga Ga Galore Sunglasses: Can a girl have too many sunglasses? I don't think so. But I am getting worried as my obsession for more sunglasses may be growing a tad bit out of control. I figure that since I don't wear all them, I really don't have as many as it seems - right? So, I need more glasses that I will wear rather than collecting dust on my shelf. Yes – the obsession continues. I came across Blinde’s Ga Ga Galore Sunglasses and love it’s slightly devilish yet ultra fashionable look. I love the hint of gold that peeks through on the front. It gives a bit of flair without it seeming gaudy and overly trendy. And yes, I know that the oversized glasses are in itself trendy, but it's a trend that I love and will last forever- at least in my eyes. Price: $388. More Info

Tom Ford Anouk Sunglasses

anouk.jpgTom Ford Anouk Sunglasses: One of my all time favorite movies is Grease. What girl doesn't love watching the ultimate high school love story? Remember the song "Summer Love"? It brings me to tears every time. Well these Anouk Sunglasses by Tom Ford are reminiscent of that time period but with a modern feel. Cat eye tortoise frames will certainly differentiate yourself from the always popular oversized shades. Also available in black. Price: $345. More Info

Mosley Tribes Sentinel Sunglasses

mosleysunglasses.jpg Mosley Tribes Sentinel Sunglasses: A bit on the structured side, these hard edge glasses by Mosley Tribes seem like they would look awesome on Brad Pitt rather than on me – but we women have a way of wearing masculine accessories and making them ultra sexy. Do you remember in Diane Keaton in Annie Hall when she wore baggy khakis, a vest and a tie? How gorgeous and ahead of her time was she? I am hoping that I too have the Annie Hall power. The Sentinel Sunglasses are a gold frame with polycarbonate interchangeable lens (available in brown and brown gradient). Wear these with a flirty dress and heels and watch heads turn. Price: $250.

Ksubi Willy Sunglasses

redglasses.jpgKsubi Willy Sunglasses: The days Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club come to mind when I see these Ksubi Willy Sunglasses. It is a definite change from the trendy oversized and aviator style eyewear we have been seeing, but I can’t say that I am ready to go back to the 80’s for sunglasses. The boxy and flat structure does not compliment my face at all. But I can't be completely opposed to them as I have seen accessories that I thought were awful, but then someone pairs it with an outfit that perhaps I would never have thought of and they make it work. You gotta love fashion for that! It's all about a new perspective. They are also available in white. Price: $180. More Info

Old Navy Circle Sunglasses

oldnavysunglasses.jpgOld Navy Circle Sunglasses: These are such fun glasses that even if you are not completely sure if you like them or not, they are so inexpensive that you could take the chance. Old Navy has accessories that are well made, considering how much they cost, and in a variety of styles - either way you can't go wrong. Seen here in green, they were also available online in a caramel color. Looks like they are all sold out online, but I was able to grab one in the store so you may want to try going to Old Navy and search through the sale racks. Price: $5. More Info

Oliver Peoples Harlot Sunglasses

oilverglasses.jpg Oliver Peoples Harlot Sunglasses: Among many other accessories, I am a sucker for oversized sunglassess. It is very possible that when the trend moves to something smaller in size that I will also follow that - but for now I am stickng to my extra large eye wear. The Harlot Sunglasses by Oliver Peoples are playful and the grey and white stripes add a bit of a quirky feel. Price: $340. More Info

Black Flys Flyliscious Sunglasses

blackflyglasses.jpgBlack Flys Flyliscious Sunglasses:Show your love on Valentine's Day with the Flyliscious Sunglasses by Black Flys. OK, so it may be a little cheesy to wear these on V-day but they are ultra cute. If they seem a bit overboard in red, the Flyliscious Sunglasses are also available in brown (my personal favorite), black/smoke and black/pink. Price: $100. More Info

Ferragamo Crystal Ganchini Sunglasses

fsunglasses.jpgFerragamo Crystal Ganchini Sunglasses: These glasses are fierce! Very Martix "kick your butt" with a mix of Lucy Liu high fashion warrior from Charlie's Angels. Does that make sense? I have a feeling you know exactly what I mean. The Ferragamo Ganchini Glasses are made of resin and metal, and they are minimally desinged with crystal studs on either side. Price: $310. More Info

Tsubi Metal Sunglasses

tsubisunglasses.jpgTsubi Metal Sunglasses: A bit futuristic, the Tsubi Sunglasses have a more hard core edge than your larger than life yet feminine sunglasses that practically everyone is wearing (myself included!). It seems odd to me that I wore any other type of glasses in the past. I can’t wait to see the next trends in eye wear. Although they are called Metal Sunglasses, they are made of 100% plastic with the edge of the lens made of metal (hmmm). They feature a smoky lens with tortoise shell in the interior. Price: $206.

Oliver Peoples Vertigo Sunglasses

opvertigo.jpg Oliver Peoples Vertigo: The Vertigo is ultra chic yet unassuming. The flashiness that has come with oversized glasses are definitely not found here (I still love my oversized glasses though - flashy or not!). It features a brushed light gold front frame, wide translucent tortoise shell patterned stems and gradated brown tint lens. The front measures at 5¼'' across x 2'' tall. Seen here in brown tortoise, it is also available in black metal frame and in brown with a pink undertone. Price: $210. More Info

Chloé Aviator Sunglasses

chloeeye.jpg Chloé Aviator Sunglasses: These cool shades are pure 70"s funk! I could totally see my mom, being the fashion savvy woman that she was in the 70's wearing these. If you have a small face, you will easily get the Mary-Kate/Ashley effect - whether that is a good thing or not is up to you. Regardless, the Chloé Aviator plastic frames are pretty darn cool. Seen here in a deep chocolate, they are also available in white. Price: $275. More Info

Blinde Now and Zen Sunglasses

blindeeye.jpgBlinde Now & Zen Sunglasses: Sometimes the oversized ultra trendy glasses can be a bit too much and you need some variety in your look. Blinde's wire frames are slightly bent to follow the contour of your face allowing for a clean and flush look. For those who actually take care of their glasses (myself not included), these come with a storage case and cleaning cloth. Seen here in chrome, they are also availble in a shiny gold. Price: $395.

Gucci Horsebit Sunglasses

guccieyes.jpgGucci Horsebit Sunglasses: I think that Gucci has got to be one of the most popular sunglasses ever. Whether real or the knock offs, they seem to be the one that I see most often. I love the shape of the frame and its clean modern look. White may be a bit outdated, but they are the some who can pull this color off without looking silly. It features the well known horsebit decorative accent on temple. Seen here in white, they are also availble in a shiny black with gray gradient lens, or in brown opal with brown violet gradiant lens. Price $290.More Info

Tom Ford Whitney Sunglasses

tomfordeye.jpgTom Ford Whitney Sunglasses: As you can see, BST has just added sunglasses as a new product to review. I suppose timing wise, it would have been better to start this in the summer, but I figure in the fall and winter seasons the sun is still around - so people will wear sunglasses. I came across Tom Ford's Whitney Sunglasses on Shop Bop (a great online fashion boutique – but I'm not sure if they have a physical store). Price: $300. More Info

Marc Jacobs Square Open Temple Sunglasses

marcglasses.jpgMarc Jacobs Sunglasses: When I came across these sunglasses by Marc Jacobs, I had to chuckle to myself because I apparently bought the knock off from Aldo - which by the way has very affordable accessories. I always knew that the items from Aldo are inspired by more high end designers, but I always get a kick out of buying an "inspired by" item and not realizing it till later. Call me weird but the little things in life make me laugh. Anyway, what I like about these MJ Square Sunglasses are that they are just big enough without overpowering your face and sit so comfortably. They are made of plastic, so you are totally paying for the name and the great design - what else is new in fashion? See here in coral opaline, it is also available in dark tortoise with brown gray lenses, or pink opaline with brown gradient lenses.
Price: $260. More Info
