Karen Walker's Spring Eyewear Worships Sun Gods
I remember thinking how cool Karen Walker Eyewear's vampire-inspired look book was.
I remember thinking how cool Karen Walker Eyewear's vampire-inspired look book was. And now the brand has outdone itself twice over. The Spring '10 selection, deemed Sun Gods, is genius. The rich gold hues, ornate headpieces, portrait-style photography, and of course, totally cool sunnies all make for one of the snazziest Spring look books. Bow down to the sun gods . . .

The three-day festivities will be held in Indio, CA, so it's going to be hot and dusty. I asked you to create the perfect music festival 'fit. Kate Moss was a great source of inspiration — we love her boho-cool vest and effortless shorties.
Let's see what you came up with!
Look #1, by Catoon, is girlie cool. I love that kitschy playsuit.

Look Book Love: Karen Walker Eyewear, Fall '09
You know a look book is spot-on when you wish you could grow vampire teeth to replicate it.
You know a look book is spot-on when you wish you could grow vampire teeth to replicate it. Karen Walker's Fall '09 eyewear Look Book had that effect on me. OK, I'm a little biased considering my ongoing obsession with the gothic vampire look. Aside from the rad teeth, the sunnies are stunning. You would most definitely do a double take if you saw someone wearing a pair. Cobalt blue frames, orange lenses, rectangular tortoise, and perfectly round styles are the coolest ways to shield your eyes from the sun . . . especially if you're a vamp.

Trend Alert: Tortoise Shades
I have always been keen on tortoise shades.
I have always been keen on tortoise shades. The marbleized brown and black has a cool retro flavor, and is less severe than black frames. It's the perfect grab-and-go-anywhere sunnie. When I spotted the always-fabulous Cate Blanchett in her tortoises in Perth, Australia, it cemented my love for the frame style. I'll take her shades, and a trip to Perth, please!
