Fab Body Guide: Sunnies For Every Face, Part I

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

How many pairs of sunglasses do you own? I'm in the midst of a sunglasses clean out, actually, so you don't want to know how many pairs I have accumulated over the years. Let's just say I'm trying to be more selective and smarter with my purchases. But yes, we have to protect our precious eyes from those harmful UV rays. When buying the new sunnies, considering certain factors can help narrow your search and results. Here are some suggestions on finding your perfect pair of sunnies.

To learn tips on finding the perfect pair of sunnies for round, oval, and square shaped faces, read more

Round Shaped Face: Look for angular, dark lenses and avoid anything round.
Oval Shaped Face: Lucky you! Your face shape can handle just about any frame shape. Square and rectangular shapes are your best bet.
Angular Shaped Face: Offset sharp features with softer shaped frames such as oval and round shaped lenses.

The day after Fab got to meet LC and Whitney at LA Fashion Week, Lauren stepped out again - this time for a little retail therapy with BFF Lo at Madison LA. If I didn't know better, I would think it was Spring in LA, the way the weather has been here! Lauren must agree, breaking out a tank and flip-flops. To give her cute casual outfit a bit more Fall appeal, I threw in a blazer and some ballet flats to match her D&G bag!

Ray-Ban Wayfarers Get Painted With Fun

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Ray-Ban and the Sunglass Hut have partnered for a fun cause. The latter started the Sunglass Hut artist series, hooking up popular brands with up-and-coming artists. One of them is Brooklyn- and San Francisco-based Maya Hayuk. She has customized and hand-painted 150 pairs of Ray-Ban Wayfarers exclusively for the Sunglass Hut, seen below. Starting Nov. 30, you can pick up a pair, retailing for $140, in the Ray-Ban section of the website. I want them all, but that's not so bad because 50 percent of the proceeds will go to the charity OneSight.

Ray-Ban's First Ever Online Store

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:30:22 -0700

Thanks to Rachel Bilson and other Wayfarer-loving celebs, Ray-Ban is experiencing a major resurrection. To keep the momentum flowing, the brand has (finally) decided to launch its first ever online store. "The online store is a natural extension, a logical step for the brand, providing the loyal customer with limited access to the brand," said Pierre Fay of Ray-Ban. The online store, slated to launch this month in the US, will come equipped with an abundance of awesome features including a virtual mirror where any user with a webcam can "try on" Ray-Ban's selection from the comfort of her own home. Coolness.

The Look For Less: Ray-Ban Wayfarer

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

As I've preached, sunnies are the coolest accessory. Like so many, Kirsten Dunst has fallen back in love with the Ray-Ban Wayfarer ($139). This '80s revived trend is still going strong; only problem is I'm a stickler for shades and can't fathom spending that much on such a trendy piece.

These Forever 21 Sunglasses ($7) have the same fun shape and styling as the Ray-Ban's but at a tiny fraction of the price. The bright-colored frames are red hot and I love the polished metal accents.

On Our Radar: Ray-Ban Wayfarers Get Two-Toned

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 09:00:22 -0700

This news couldn't have come at a more opportune time: Just when I was growing tired of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, the company is set to release its classic style in two-tone frames. What's more, a new slew of colors - candy apple red, ice blue, and lilac - are being created. Stores like Nordstrom, Barneys New York, Bloomingdale's, and Sunglass Hut will start selling them in April for $140 a pair.

Paris Hilton already has hers. I can see Sienna Miller, Kirsten Dunst, Drew Barrymore, and Mary-Kate Olsen also going ga-ga for these . . . get ready for yet another Wayfarer craze!
