Linda Farrow recently said: “It’s easy to see that his satin, silk, and taffeta collections are narcissistic without apology, theatrical beyond repair, and designed for women who love to dress up and play the part of the ultimate diva.”  Okay that’s a pretty good description…now I definitely get the picture.  Linda Farrow teamed up with Jeremy Scott to create a unique sunglasses design that is available at Opening Ceremony.

Jeremy Scott x Linda Farrow JSSunvisor Frame in Turquoise $150

The Jeremy Scott x Linda Farrow jssunvisor frame is, as expected, completely unique and unlike anything we have ever seen before.  The colored plastic sunglasses have thin oval lenses and thick plastic frames that curve around the temples and protrude out from the upper edge of the frames like a visor.  The idea of a visor on sunglasses is actually quite practical because it combines sunglasses and a hat into one piece.  But just like the rest of Jeremy Scott’s pieces, it’s harder to decide if you love it, hate it, or if you’re just not cool enough to pull it off.

The Jeremy Scott x Linda Farrow visor sunglasses are available online at Opening Ceremony in black, purple, red, turqoise, and pink.

Jeremy Scott Visor Sunglasses

The Beryll unadorned sunglasses with richly colored frames and lenses are extremely popular right now in Cali and are being worn by celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Lenny Kravitz, and Katie Holmes.  The handcrafted frames are made from surgical steel or hand polished Italian acetate and have 100% UV protection.  Here are a few of my favorite styles:

I absolutely love the color on these!  The saturated bordeaux frames pair well with the oversized round brown lenses.  These are a great example of the simple, but well-designed, style of Beryll sunglasses.  They also are available in rich color options of brown, peach, and stone.

This is a limited edition style that would work well equally for men or women.  The rectangular black acetate frames have thick sides for a surfer-inspired look.

These are a more unique style with the use of a combination of metal and plastic in the frames.  I would love to have a pair of these too!  I love the design with the metal piece that wraps and turns into the sides of the frames.  Fabulous.

Luxury Beryll sunglasses are available online at Beryll or in stores at Barney’s, Henri Bendel, and Fred Segal.

Karen Walker Derby Doomsday Sunglasses $180

The sunglasses in the “Celebrate Sun” line have an exaggerated statement look, which perfectly matches Karen Walker’s designs.  The frames come in many different shapes, but still have a cohesive look as a collection with a oversized thick plastic and unique colors and patterns on the frames.

Karen Walker Sunglasses for Vampires

My new discovery is the OuchlessFlex Claw Clips.  I call these things “banana clips” but I guess they are really called “claw clips.”  Again, I have always loved them and thought they were the easiest way to do a great looking updo, but they were so uncomfortable.  These Goody OuchlessFlex clips are made from a flexible plastic that actually squishes when you push on it.  This allows you to do things like comfortably lean back in a chair or on the ground, which you definitely couldn’t do with a hard piece of plastic attached to your head.  I love finding products that are super affordable, easy to find, and mix fashion with function!

The Goody OuchlessFlex Claw Clips are available in three sizes and are available at most drugstores.
