Chic Shades

I've been loyal to Tom Ford sunglasses for years but I'm thinking it might be time for a switch. Or at least some new additions so I can mix things up. I ran across the German brand Mykita today on Style.com and might have to check them out. Their sunglasses are not only favored by rock stars like P.Diddy and Katy Perry but their frames are also worn by Daniel Craig in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I have to wait until they email me back to find out the stockists in New York but a little internet research reveals that you can find them at the Bergdorf Goodman Men's Store. If anyone needs me today, that's where I'll be.

Geek Chic

There really isn't anything geeky about these bespeckled beauties including Carrie Donovan above but there is definitely something about a pair of glasses that makes the wearer appear smarter. I had a cab driver ask me today if I worked at Citibank. A random question to say the least but I chalk it up to my new glasses that apparently make me look really, really smart. I had a lot of readers ask me where I got them after seeing them in my last post so I figured why not compile a few iconic images of those who wear glasses and a few that probably will be someday. For the record, my new glasses are Ray Ban Wayfarer Square and they definitely make geek chic.
