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!

Totally Rad Ray Ban Wayfarers

FabSugar — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 15:06:08 -0800

These throwback, 50-year-old Ray Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses made quite a strong comeback in '06. We all remember a young Tom Cruise dancing around in these bad ass glasses in the cult flick Risky Business. And I distinctly remember crushing on Robe Lowe sporting these when I was a wee lassie.

Wayfarers were also the shades of choice in the music biz once upon a time. Famous singers such as: Madonna, Johnny Cash, The Blues Brothers, Bob Dylan and The Smiths also helped made these sunglasses iconic. Nowadays several the hot young celebs like Mischa Barton, Sienna Miller and Kirsten Dunst are wearing them.

The original black, smaller frame style caught the eye of Mary-Kate Olsen who apparently traded in her immensely over-sized ones for this more feminine frame. Coming this January, the smaller frame model will be back on the shelves selling for $130. Try calling your local Ray-Ban retailer to place a pre-order for the smaller frame originals. In the meantime, the the larger frame Ray-Ban Sunglasses are available for $114.99.

The Look For Less: Ray-Ban Wayfarer

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.

Mkoesnadi pulls off denim on denim so effortlessly. Her ode to the '80s is comprised of an acid-wash jean jacket and a splattered DIY skirt - hot stuff. Black booties, scarf, and Ray-Ban Wayfarers finish off her old-school vibe. Is that a Gucci bag I spy in the background?

Here's what she has on:

Denim Jacket: Unknown
Tank: U2
Miniskirt: Armani Exchange
Bangles: Forever 21
Ankle Boots: Zara
Sunnies: Rayban Wayfarers
Scarf: Unknown
Bag: Unknown

Congrats to mkoesnadi!

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.

It may be Labor Day, but Michelle's keeping white pants in her rotation. Sometimes minimalism can be so refreshing - peel away all the layers and capture simplicity. That's what Michelle achieved while out and about with adorable daughter Matilda. She opted for a chambray shirt, white cropped jeans, light pink flats, and a brown messenger bag. The Ray Ban Wayfarers round out the look - too cool.

Is it just me or are the stylish mommies out and about? Check out Michelle Williams and her little one Matilda. The adorable duo were spotted taking a leisurely stroll on the streets of Brooklyn. Motherhood certainly hasn't affected Michelle's casually cool style. The actress is nonchalant in her black and white gingham shirt and dark denim shorts. Classic white kicks are the perfect choice for all that walking, and of course, her Ray-Ban Wayfarers top off the look. Simple, chic, and cute. On another note, that green drink looks yummy!
