In Love With . . . Kate Bosworth's Céline Shades

Hannah Weil — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:30:21 PST

There's one common denominator unifying all of Kate Bosworth's street style - and it's not just the fact that it's all crafted flawlessly. Topping off every perfect snap is a pair of killer shades - the kind so insanely cool, we had to know just where to find them. Turns out, Kate's selected Céline's awesome wayfarers ($239, originally $360), to lend the finishing cool-girl touch on just about anything. The proof is in this batch of artfully assembled looks - from a dressed-down day in Sundance (and even with a few flurries!) to a sunny LA stroll, these shades are a testament to the power of great accessories. In the market for your own pair? Get shopping before they sell out, or your best bet may just be eBay.

There's more reason to love Rebecca Minkoff now that the designer, who currently helms a handbag, clothing, and footwear line, will be adding sunglasses, jewelry, and scarves to her growing fashion empire. The new lines, which will make their debut during New York Fashion Week, will range from $50 to $350 for her jewelry collection and $125 to $250 for sunglasses. So what should you expect to see?

For eyewear, Minkoff experimented with different colors and embellishments. "If I’m going to do this, I don’t want it to look like anything else,” said Minkoff, referring to the studded sunnies, seen above. "They are downtown with a definite point of view.” The 75-piece jewelry line is said to appeal to the “girl next door” and the “fashion girl," with pieces like studded earrings and perforated metal necklaces. “I love mixed hardware," said Minkoff. "There’s a lot of the two-tone effect, so she doesn’t have to worry about mixing and matching." Are you excited about these new Minkoff collections?

Skin Saving Protection From Summer's Harsh Rays

LilSugar — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 04:45:40 PDT

Take cover! A significant percentage of our exposure to sun occurs by age 18, and with Summer in full swing, beaches, pools, and other outdoor activities rule the day. While avoiding the sun completely just isn't an option for most families, Mr. Golden Sun's dangerous UV rays can be avoided with the right accessories. Infants' thin skin and underdeveloped melanin can cause their skin to burn faster than older kids. To celebrate UV Safety Awareness Month, we're looking beyond sunscreen and the rash guard for the best products to protect even the littlest tots' precious skin now, and throughout the year.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Oliver Peoples

Noria Morales — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 09:48:05 PDT

Oliver Peoples defines understated cool. They're not flashy sunglasses, and never will be. But somehow, the line based out of LA has become super fly, for the best reasons: the shades are really well-made and always seem to hone in on just the right shape. So just who is Oliver Peoples? We spoke with founder and creative director Larry Leight to get some good dirt on this quietly awesome brand. Here are five things you didn't know:

Oliver Peoples was a man before a brand
In 1986, optician Larry Leight purchased an estate collection of vintage, American-made eyewear, which included beautiful filigreed frames and clip-ons from the American machine age. With this purchase was a receipt signed by "Oliver Peoples," who was presumed to be the original owner. According to the estate seller, the man had no known living family, so Larry decided to name the store (and later the wholesale company) Oliver Peoples in his honor.
