4 EYED AND FABULOUS: INTO IT AND OVER IT THE SUNGLASS EDITION

Well spring is upon us again. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and we are starting to make plans for our summer vacation. This all usually means we start thinking about new sunglasses. Even though we should be thinking about sunglasses year round because even on over cast, cloudy winter days we are still exposed to damaging UV rays. OK so that was my little side bar PSA. Now to the fun stuff...FASHION! My two top passions in life are fashion and food. I'm totally obsessed with this new show on Food Network called the kitchen. They do this segment at the end called Into It and Over It. So I'm going to "borrow" the idea for this week's blog post. By the way Chef Geoffrey Zakarian, one of the show's co-hosts, has more Tom Ford frames then I have in my office!

SPORTS SUNWEAR

I am totally over Oakley! They have completely saturated the market and I think people are just buying them because they don't know any better. That is about to change. There are so many other cooler looking, better performing lines out there. Also why would you want to look like everybody else walking down the street? Let's have some originality people! That leads me to what I'm into. DRAGON! This line was just released under parent company Marchon NYC on a larger scale but has been around for several years. They have an action sport foundation and a hip, fresh look. They even have frames that floats! Here are some of my favorites.

Another company that I'm into is Kaenon. This 100% polarized line is not only the number one optical lens on the market but all of their frames come in unique fun colors. The shapes are very fashionable too!

The last sports related line I'm into is Rudy Project. They have a definite sports look but the coolest thing about them is they offer a wide variety of custom tints. Every rider on the Tour de France wears these.

LUXURY SUNWEAR

I am 110% over the Prada Baroque! I loved them when they first came out but everyone and their mother seems to be wearing them.

On the other hand I am 110% into the Jimmy Choo Flash. Also Jimmy Choo's parent company, Safilo, who also manufactures Carrera, has melded the two together in one amazing mash-up!
