Trend Alert: Two-Tone Shades

Kate Moss's cropped leather moto pants were bitchin'.

Kate Moss's cropped leather moto pants were bitchin'. But, admittedly, not for everyone. Two-tone shades on the other hand, are an inventive way to mix up your optical inventory. This dip-dyed style creates a cool illusion for the face. Kate opted for black and caramel, but there are numerous color combos. In other Mossie news — we can't wait for her sizzlin' photo book with Mario Testino . . .

Elijah Wood and Shirley Manson Are Bored on Sundays, in Oliver Peoples Shades

We may admire some Fab ads, but if you really want to stand apart, produce a charming minimovie with random celebrities — Garbage's Shirley Manson, Elijah Wood — bored on Sundays.

We may admire some Fab ads, but if you really want to stand apart, produce a charming minimovie with random celebrities — Garbage's Shirley Manson, Elijah Wood — bored on Sundays. Frenchly named "Les enfants sennuient le dimanche" (the children are bored on Sundays), this wonderfully adorable, Royal Tenenbaums-esque movie, narrated by a simple guitar riff, is thoroughly amusing. Watch the couple sip Rosé, play golf (sorta), swim (sorta), kiss (sorta), and lounge around in retro gowns and dapper suits. All the while wearing Oliver Peoples's latest specs. Directed by Autumn de Wilde, it's wildly fabulous and not boring at all.

I felt a little bohemian this morning and pulled out my Summer maxi dress. It was windy day, so I layered up with a knit sweater and leather jacket. Though you can't see it, fleece lined tights keep me super warm underneath it all. Part hippie, part punk.

Trend Alert: Mirrored Lenses

Drew is a kid at heart.

Drew is a kid at heart. That is why we love her so. She sported some cutesy pink mirrored lenses in NYC and, while her outfit was super casual, they reminded us of her perky personality. I suspect hers might even be the Oakley for Paul Smith limited editions. Plus, Proenza Schouler sent mirrored shades down their Spring runway. I have a super fun vintage pair — they were my mom's ski shades in the '80s — that are turquoise with silver mirrors. People seem to love them, maybe it's because they can admire themselves in the reflection while attempting to pay attention to me . . .
