Mary-Kate Olsen still loving round sunglasses

The Olsen twins are still pushing round John Lennon-esque sunglasses as a sunglasses trend, though we’ve seen very few other examples of the style.

Going for a Solar Trend in 2009

So being empowered is cool, but how about generating your own power? Late last year one of our Christmas desires was the Logan bag from Noon Solar. It wasn’t the prettiest thing in the world but I thought it was pretty cool.

Spectacles, Glasses, Sunglasses Trends 2008

Unlike hair trends and clothing trends, spectacles and sunglasses trends seldom undergo any major change and flux. Looking back over the past 5 years, it’s really only the re-emergence of oversized sunglasses which have caused the biggest stir. But that doesn’t mean that that you can wear any old pair in 2008. While last year’s pair will get you by, that’s not to say they’re…
