Kate Middleton in Dior Sunglasses

This princess keeps herself busy when her royal husband is away on Valentine’s Day. While Prince William was off on business, Kate Middleton spent her Valentine’s Day doing some charity work. She exuded class as she made her way to different charities including one that she is actively involved in called Action on Addiction. Even though Prince William was away Kate was still getting red roses, but they were from the eight year old son of the woman who runs Action on Addiction. Supposedly Jaqson Johnston Lynch gave her a dozen red roses and a card that said “Happy Valentine’s Day, your Royal Highness. I’m sorry Prince William can’t be here.” Kate charmingly assured him that Prince William had made sure that his lovely wife had a card and some flowers earlier. Kate’s wonderful Valentine’s Day continued as she made her way to some more events.

Tyra Banks in Burberry Sunglasses

Tyra Banks shows that she isn’t just another pretty face; she has the smarts to match her staggering beauty. Tyra Banks is a multi-talented woman with job titles that include: model, actress, T.V. host, and bestselling author. In addition to all of these accolades, Tyra Banks has also graduated from the I.V. League Harvard Business School with a certificate she earned from the Owner/President Management program that the school offers. Banks actually dropped out of Loyola Marymount University when she made the decision to dedicate her life to her modeling career. She decided to go for the higher education opportunity when she decided that it would further validate her spot in the business world. “In order for my company to grow and be the best, and to reach these women, and to serve them, I needed the best….So I went to the best.”  Some could view her decision to go to Harvard Business College as a lost cause at the age of 38. “When people have low expectations, you’re just constantly going, ‘Ta da!’ And they’re like Wow!” She said.

Cute Megan Fox wearing Ray Ban Aviators

As the new face of Giorgio Armani’s beauty, fragrance and skincare campaigns no one should expect Megan Fox to look anything but plain gorgeous but, surprisingly enough Fox revealed in the March issue of Miami Magazine that she doesn’t always feel beautiful. The actress told the magazine that she “was never the pretty girl”, and described her teenage self as abrasive and obnoxious. She went on to say that she often felt like a loner especially because her interests weren’t main stream. She had a fascination with ancient civilizations and loved to go on digs, sometimes she would even like to uncover government cover-ups saying “Come on! You don’t think everything that’s learned is released to the public, do you?”

Even though Fox might believe that her interests might be a little on the odd side I’ve always been one to believe that uniqueness adds to beauty and that is definitely the case with her. The actress who is now married to Beverly Hills, 90210 star, Brian Austin Green is soon going to appear in the ensemble comedy Friends With Kids featuring others such as Kristen Wiig, Jon Hamm, Maya Rudolph, Chris O’Dowd, Jennifer Westfeldt, Adam Scott and Ed Burns. About the cast Megan said that she’d rather be with good people in a movie than the other way around. She also added that she always likes “to choose something different than what I’ve done before”, which would probably explain the variety of movies and TV shows that she’s featured in. Megan Fox definitely is an actress where’s there’s more than meets the eye especially with her casual and cool personality which matches her style perfectly. She’s casual with a touch of glam just like her Ray Ban aviators.

Pregnant Snookie in Christian Dior Sunglasses

After four weeks of rumors flying around about the most famous guidette being knocked up, it’s finally been confirmed that Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is indeed pregnant. US weekly reported the news that the star is 15 weeks pregnant and is also engaged to the father of the baby, Jionni LaValle. The newly engaged couple who first met on the show Jersey Shore are both fully aware that many haters might be thinking that neither of them is prepared.

In response Snooki stated “I have different priorities now” and that she “doesn’t care what anybody else thinks. As long as I know I’m ready and he’s ready”. LaValle also added that “we are not going to screw this up”. Their responses do sound promising and Snooki seems to already be thinking motherly thoughts when she said she was worried about the fact that she’d been drinking on New Years. Although Snooki’s pregnancy was surprising news to some, it wasn’t the first big news that she announced. Back in January she reported to People Magizine that Jionni LaValle is “the one so the rings gonna come soon”. And you best believe that Jionni was well aware that he would be buying a big rock the minute he decided to put a ring on it.  He should know that he shouldn’t expect anything less from a true guidette like Snooki who replied that “He knows it should be big, ’cause if it’s small, I’m saying no. Like, ‘Get another ring!’”.After all Snooki will have to have an amazing ring to match all her animal prints and Christian Dior Shades.

Sexy Sofia Vergara in Tom Ford Sunglasses!

Sofia Vergara is one of the most watched women running around in Hollywood.  Having just snagged the number one slot on AskMen’s Most Desirable Woman of 2012 list, her fashion choices are being copied by women everywhere.  At nearly 40 years old, that has to be a huge ego boost.  The Modern Family star sports a long list of famous ex-beaus and joins an equally famous list of women to have attained the most desirable woman spot.  Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have both topped the list.  She was number 3 on last year’s list, and age has just made her better now that she’s in the number one spot.  We all knew that Sofia is an amazing Colombian hottie, but it’s a tribute to older ladies that she beat out Victoria’s Secret models, young musicians, and actresses like Scarlett Johansson who are well known for their beauty.

Sexy Sofia Vergara in Tom Ford Sunglasses

Sofia Vergara wasn’t well known until Modern Family became a big hit.  This fresh face is one of the things that makes the hit show successful.  The show focuses on three families and the way the families handle the trials that come their way.  While it sticks to the classic sitcom formula for getting laughs and growing an audience, main points of the show stray from the norm and give recognition to non-traditional family types.  Sofia stars opposite acting veteran Ed O’Neill, who is most famous for playing Al Bundy on the sitcom Married With Children.

 

Sofia is seen here wearing Tom Ford sunglasses.  Tom Ford is a relatively new label, spawned by a man who designed for both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent.  After lending his creativity to such big labels, Tom Ford stepped out on his own to create a wildly successful brand that includes clothing, accessories, cosmetics, and fragrances.  One vein of his line that thrives is eye wear.  Tom Ford paired with the Marcolin Group to create this line of sunglasses and frames.  Marcolin Group was a great choice for Tom Ford.  Marcolin also pairs with Diesel, Kenneth Cole, and Roberto Cavalli.  Tom Ford’s eye wear collection includes both sunglasses and frames for prescription glasses.  The styling on both the sunglasses and vision correction frames carry a distinctly American look, which is no surprise.  A native of the southwestern US, Tom Ford was born in Texas and raised in New Mexico.  The stark look at American design and sensibility combined with training and design for European design houses gives the Tom Ford brand a unique look.  The sleek and classic designs carry an easy appeal.  For example, the 2012 line for women carries patterns that mimic the southwestern style that Mr. Ford grew up with along with some expected snakeskin to pair with it.  The sleekness of the look comes when that southwestern look is paired with European styling and details.  The down-home prints paired with chic details gives a look that is beyond chic for women who enjoy both a tough and professional look.

Ashley Greene from Twilight sporting some Raybans

Ashley Greene is one of several rising stars to come out of the Twilight movies.  Her startlingly beautiful eyes and easy personality make her a sought after star.  Her dating history proves it too.  She’s been with like Chace Crawford, Jared Followill (bass player for Kings of Leon), and even Joe Jonas.  She plays Alice Cullen in the wildly popular Twilight movies.  This Florida native is not known for dressing up, which is a relief to those of us who like to see people in something other than unreasonably expensive ballgowns at every event.  While elegant, she describes herself as a tomboy and took martial arts lessons as a girl.  That attitude follows into her fashion choices, and we see her here wearing some very down-to-earth Rayban aviator shades.

While a tomboy, she does know how to walk on the wild side.  She recently told Lucky magazine about her experiences filming Butter, a new comedy.  In the movie, she gets to kiss Olivia Wilde, which makes her more lucky than most men!  She didn’t get overly flustered about the role and said that filming the scene was easy and fun, saying that it was fun laughing between scenes.  While filming such a wild role, she has a steady beau in Reeve Carney, who was in the Broadway version of Spider-Man.  Romance doesn’t keep her from work, which she seems to focus on more.  She’s branching out from the Twilight movies into roles with stars like Tom Felton (of Harry Potter), Miley Cyrus, and Demi Moore.  You can even see her on the ABC hit show Pan Am.

 

The Rayban sunglasses she’s wearing are typical of down-to-earth people from a more normal income bracket.  The company wasn’t exactly founded for the social elite, after all.  Rayban is the child of Bausch and Lomb, who responded to the need for sunglasses that keep the eyes from being damaged during flight or sports activity.  Adopted first by a balloon pilot, they were quickly picked up by the military for the use of pilots.  The idea was to have sunglasses with an elegant aesthetic that also provided superior protection from glare and sunlight.  The company developed several types of frames and lenses for different situations, and the brand took off.  It was after Douglas MacArthur was photographed on the beaches of Normandy, France in Rayban Aviators that the Rayban name was seen outside of the military, becoming quickly popular in the civilian world.

 

Later, Rayban designed styles for movies and television, but never losing it’s blue collar American look.  The most famous Rayban glasses might be the Wayfarer style seen often on the movie screen but most memorably in the Blues Brothers movies.  The hip style was adopted and re-adopted by several generations.  The hip, rebellious look is popular now with the hipster community as well as everyone with a love for vintage American style.  Today you can find re-releases of some of Rayban’s bigger style successes in ever evolving materials like leather and titanium.  The quality is unsurpassed.

Khloe Kardashian in Gucci Sunglasses

Who are the Kardashians?  If you don’t know the answer to that, you must have been living under a rock for the past few years.  Even if you aren’t a fan of these, famous for being famous, socialites, their images are plastered everywhere, their fashion choices are watched, and they made insane amounts of money.  The money comes from a slew of reality shows, designer clothing line, endorsement deals, a prepaid debit card, perfume, and pretty much anything else they can sink their manicured claws into.  Their choice of sunglasses is even monitored and copied, so it’s no surprise to see Khloe here wearing a pair of hot Gucci sunglasses in a casual rectangle frame.  The Kardashians wear a lot from this mainstay designer who has outfitted the richest and most posh celebrities for years.

 

Khloe Kardashian in Gucci Sunglasses

Khloe Kardashian in Gucci Sunglasses

Now that Khloe Kardashian is headed to Texas, where everything is bigger, she’ll likely dress down more to fit in with the local culture.  Don’t expect to see her shopping at Walmart though!  She’ll probably take advantage of the label’s more conservative clothing since she’s a working woman now.  Khloe announced to her fans that she’ll be returning to radio.  Her first radio stint came while she and her sister were in Florida filming a reality show.  The new radio show will air on Mix 102.9 everyday at noon, and it will last for an hour.  Despite only working an hour a day, she’s the only one of her sisters to take a real job.  The reality shows have kept the other sisters in the lap of luxury, though I’m sure Khloe’s husband Lamar Odom will be happy to get away from the cameras for awhile.

 

Those cute Gucci sunglasses Khloe is wearing are hip right now, coming in a casual rectangle framed American style.  It’s a surprise to see a luxury Italian designer delving into such a casual arena, but we aren’t complaining.  Italian quality leather goods are staples at Gucci, but their sunglasses have really taken off.  At a few hundred dollars a pair, they are the most accessible thing next to handbags in the brand’s line.  That means if the average person is going to pick anything up with a Gucci label on it, it’ll probably be eyewear.  These cater to the hipster set with a vintage look that reminds us of the “Wayfarer” sunglasses by Rayban that were featured in the Blues Brothers movies so long ago.

 

This departure from the luxury look is thanks to the hipster set and those who love the vintage look.  Vintage items have taken over in the past few years, and the best luxury designers are pairing vintage styles with modern cuts and fabrics to create amazing and artistic pieces.  As old and respected as Gucci is, this just means dusting off some old patterns and rethinking their shape and style.  The original shoulder bag, now called the “Jackie” because of it’s connections with Jackie Kennedy, is now the inspiration for the New Jackie line.  The bamboo bags made during the war because of materials restrictions imposed under Stalin are the inspiration for the New Bamboo line.  The old designs were rethought and retooled for modern use.  Their sunglasses are following this flow, marrying old frame styles with new materials.

Heidi Klum and Chloe Sunglasses – How is she doing after Seal divorce?

In one of the first outings since her divorce was announced, Heidi Klum was seen out and about in a messy ponytail and Chloe sunglasses, doing a little shopping.  There are so many on again- off again couples in Hollywood that it is sad to see a long term couple like Heidi Klum and Seal split up.  It seems they are divorcing in the most classy way that one can.  No mud slinging here, there hasn’t yet surfaced a tell-all magazine article, cheating scandal, substance abuse problem, or any of the normal fodder that surfaces during a celebrity break-up.  It would seem that both of them are just quiet people going about the sad business of ending their marriage and protecting their children.

 

These days, seven years of marriage with very little in the way of scandal is rare, even in non-celebrity society.  Let’s face it, divorce is still very standard among everyday citizens that don’t have every shopping trip and outing photographed.  The rate across the board is over 50%, so making it work for 7 years with a heavy travel schedule and demanding work might seem like an overwhelming victory for anyone in that position.  Heidi and Seal have four children together, one of which is from a previous relationship of Heidi’s.  They seem to be mostly focused on shielding the kids.  The separation was a surprise to a lot of people, who saw the couple as strong and solid.  They even renewed their vows each year as an anniversary tradition.

Heidi Klum Chloe Sunglasses

Heidi Klum spotted wearing Chloe Sunglasses

Heidi seems to be in good spirits during this early outing.  She’s dressed casually, presumably in an effort to remain low key and just continue her life.  Her Chloe sunglasses were spotted, and it’s nice to see that she’s still fashionable.  The shades she picked come in three different frame colors, and are typical of the Chloe style.  Chloe centers it’s designs on modern femininity combined with classic style, and these sunglasses fit in with that aesthetic.  The vintage look of big sunglasses has been a staple in the past few years, and this represents one of the more elegant styles in this type.  A lot of bigger glasses come off as sporty, futuristic, or bug-eyed, though these scream classic diva in the most tasteful way.

 

Chloe’s warm looks come from their history.  The company was founded in the 1950′s by an Egyptian born French woman’s rejection of the stiff and formal fashions of the day.  Born then was a line of flowing feminine clothing and accessories that did not require special cutting or tailoring.  This off the rack couture caught on quickly and celebrities like Jackie Kennedy were lining up for the brand’s clothing.  Their sunglasses carry on the same style as their clothing, exuding confidence and femininity for those women who wear them.  With a relatively small line of sunglasses ranging from 100 to 300 dollars a pair, the beautiful line is actually on the more reasonably priced end of the spectrum.  Some of their clothing and accessories come more accessibly than other designer lines, which quality pieces in accessible stores like Neiman Marcus.

Marc Jacobs: High Technology and High Fashion

In the varied world of fashion and accessories, there are many name brands that come to mind, but few possess the trend-setting powers of Marc Jacobs.

The fashion powerhouse first opened its pilot free standing store on Mercer Street in New York’s Soho district in 1997. In 2001, the company expanded its repertoire by adding a secondary line, Marc by Marc Jacobs as a diffusion line. This allowed them to make high-end designs available at a more moderate price. The first multi-brand store became available in Boston in late summer of 2004, quickly followed by three more opening their doors in Los Angeles that following May. Since then they have enjoyed considerable growth and now boast over one hundred boutiques and stores open to the public in several cities across the United States and countries worldwide. Little Marcs, their children’s line launched in 2007, rounding out their offerings for the entire family proving that fashion isn’t just for moms.
