Golden Butter and Caramel

I know I keep saying I'm not a huge collector of sunglasses, but I did work in the corporate offices of Sunglass Hut for a time, so I guess I'm predisposed to appreciate them.

I love the color of these Lilly Pulitzer sunglasses made from a lovely golden horn.



They'd be great paired with the Michael Kors watch, which I also love and still want.

Seeing the World Through Rose-Colored Glasses

There were only two things I really really wanted from Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2008 show - the tea cup heels and these stained-glass sunglasses.



Well, I got the heels and I LOVE them but I'm now very sad. I've had my name on a waiting list at the New York Miu Miu store for months. I was going to stop by one of the stores when I'm in town next week to try them on, if they'd come in by then. But when I called the store on Friday I found out they they are not going to be making these because they are too challenging.

Bummer!

I can't imagine why that would be. I know some have been made because I've seen them in pictures and the store said a UK store (???) got them. I'm sure whatever they cost they would get back. So why, oh why aren't they making them. Especially when they were featured so prominently in the campaign.

If anyone sees a pair for sale or has any feedback I'd love to hear about it.

Miu Miu, I love you

I am so smitten. I must must must get these sunglasses. I think I love these even more than the Chanels.



And when, oh when will I be able to wear this dress. If I had the opportunity I would find a way to buy several of these adorable little dresses.



I mean, I just don't get that much lying around time.

Pink French Sunglasses

Here's a better picture of those last pair of sunglasses.



Love them!

Rose-tinted glasses

So I have this very bad tendency to see something on someone or somewhere, fall head over heels in love and then go absolutely crazy and overboard trying to incorporate whatever it is into my life.

Case in point - large sunglasses in pink and/or round with gradiated lenses. I lurv Miss Gala's glasses here. It's back to that desire for pink hair and color coding.



Another big part of it is the Chanel sunglasses. I bought these and then ended up selling them. For more than I bought them for at least but, even thought they looked somewhat comical on me, I kind of miss them but, damn!, they were expensive.



So off I went trolling on eBay to see what I could find searching pink, round, gradiated, vintage, etc. Here are some of what I found and bought.

You think these look crazy here? You should see them in person.



These are kind of a pinkish-peach color frame with amber gradiated lenses, but the arms don't go very wide.




This last pair are the best and this picture is totally useless, I know. I was going to swipe the picture from the auction and they're all down so I need to take some more. I promise to do so asap, but it would be remiss to not include them because they are the best of the bunch. They are HUGE and the lenses are a gradiated pink. I look like I have a giant pink butterfly on my face. I luv them mucho.



I promise, more pics to come soon. Maybe I'll dress all in pink tomorrow. That would wake you up in the winter!

Finally!

Me and my glasses cruisin' down the road...

Baby did a bad bad thing...

All I can say is - Chanel 5018 Round Half Tint Sunglasses.









Yes, I got them! More images to follow when they are in my hot little hands!
