THIS WEEK: Circular Sunnys.

I guess its true what they say, everything comes full circle. Thats easy to see especially with sunglasses that have lenses each shaped in a perfect circle. I remember owning a pair in the 90's when I was 9 or 10. I might be telling my age but on the sunny side, even then I had my very own sense of style. Although my parents never favored them (and even today give my spectacles distasteful looks) I happen to like these glasses for my own sentimental reasons. Growing up I was definitely an individual and bought the shades for myself and absolutely loved to wear them with a red plaid dress, black lace up boots and a fossil hand bag that I used untill the zipper told me "no more". I'd imagine if it weren't for my memories of these John Lennon reminiscent sunglasses, I may not really be into them as much now. Beyonce has recently donned them as her favorite without exactly saying it, as she has been seen in them a lot lately. Check the photos!

Love,

P.S. sunglassesonstage said, "When Proenza Schouler introduced round sunglasses in spring 2008, the designers were actually so far ahead of the trend that they were at a disadvantage. Circular frames are not face-friendly, Ms. McCabe said, and usually look best on women with strong jaw lines, so the line’s initial styles were difficult to sell. But newer versions, which are slightly larger and more angular, with the stems positioned higher on the frame, have been a success.
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the designers of the label, said in an e-mail message that they had been bored with the prevailing Wayfarer look and that, while looking at images of midcentury factory workers in goggles, “something about the simplicity of that shape against the face turned us on”.
Me too Mr. Hernandez and McCollough ...me too.
