About Last Night... David Yurman Eyewear Launch
By Rebecca Suhrawardi Austin
There are more photos in this gallery. View them all.
How could we not say yes to David Yurman's rooftop fiesta last night? A hot summer night on their Tribeca rooftop surrounded by their chic new sunglasses collection was an invitation I could not refuse. While sipping mint mojitos, I perused the sexy new lineup of shades and have to say that I liked what I saw. Sophisticated and clean, and sometimes rock-star fabulous, the line proved to be a serious contender in the sunglass department. And it was definitely a family affair as the Yurman clan (David, Sybil and Evan) turned out in full force. I asked Sybil, who co-designed the line, what her vision for the shades were, to which she replied, "It's jewelry for your eyes."

By Mickey Boardman
Mr. Mickey was recently a guest at the extremely high-fashion Mido Eyewear show in Milan! MM knows all you cuties LIVE to accessorize so here is a little report on what's shaking in the world of specs!
Pictured above is the lovely Lynn Yaeger wearing Mr. Mickey's favorite frames from the entire show: Miu Miu. Isn't Miu Miu just feeling like the most fabulous brand these days? Mr. Mickey wishes he was a cute young girl so he could carry a Miu Miu bag and rock these heart shaped frames.

Booty Call: Oakley and Supreme Frogskins
By Carol Lee
I'm going to get a little shady here for a sec. It dawned on my one day that my favorite shape of shades for the summer is the classic Ray-Ban à la Risky Business. I find the oversize Jackie-O's too Nicole Richie and the Olsens, the wraparounds trés Posh Spice and the aviators, well, very Brangelina. But I didn't really want the classic Ray-Ban because that seems so cliché and also, they've been making the rounds since Chloë Sevigny was photographed rocking a pair of white Ray-Bans at the As Four show during Fashion Week a few years back -- this incident also ignited a white frame fad that was hot for a while.
Then I stumbled upon the perfect alternative. Oakley and Supreme teamed up and came up with these super-cool shades called Frogskins. They come in five Lifesaver colors -- my favorite is red (see picture) -- and only a limited edition of 2,000 pairs were made ($168). You can get them at Supreme stores and via www.supremenewyork.com and they come with a Supreme logo printed elastic band that basketball players use with their glasses which I think is a total bonus!
