Can We Talk Prescription Designer Sunglasses a la Joan Rivers and LensCrafters Posted: 25 May 2011 09:56 AM PDT Things happen when you are old enough to have grown up laughing along with comedic genius Joan Rivers on TV. One day, you start to need glasses, if only to read Heidi Abromowitz's little black book (purportedly the size of an encyclopedia). LensCrafters had a sunnies soiree last month-- with special guest Joan Rivers, a self-admitted sunglass whore-- to help discover your inner eyewear personality (the "style maven," the "classic," the "connoisseur" or the "adventurer") from a quicky quiz and then to select a glam pair of RX-friendly, multi-tasking designer sunglasses. Secret: These are actually prescription sunglasses! No surprise, I ended up a cross between "the nothing is too good for" The Connoisseur and "nothing comes between you and your Fashion Police" Style Maven, which pointed me in the direction of nabbing a giant pair of Tifffany & Co. tortoise shades that could be turned into prescription designer sunglasses! You know I'm a sucker for anything in an orange, red, or turquoise box. WATCH: How to select sunglasses for your face shape Our uber cool (and talented) art director, the filmmaker Vincent Gagliostro, ended up as a "level-headed traditionalist" Classic with some Ray-Bans that he had tinted a fab shade of noir to wear as his evening eyeglasses. Gentlemen, take note: Adding a bit of tint to your lens is a great way to style up without going overboard. Now, I've been slow on my LensCrafters visit to check my prescription, which I may say was one of the better eye exams that I've ever had, but all good things do take time and although I would probably never on my own try prescription sunglasses, I'M SOLD. They are fab!

Urgent Notice- Kate Middleton's $340 Dress, Stalls the Reiss Site- We Have Alternatives Posted: 25 May 2011 08:16 AM PDT Yesterday, we wrote about how much we loved Kate Middleton's $340 Reiss dress as compared to what Michelle Obama was wearing in the same photo. Guess, Sharon was not alone in her sartorial choices, because we received the following urgent notice email from Reiss: Due to incredible demand for the Shola dress as worn by the Duchess of Cambridge yesterday, we are experiencing huge volumes of traffic to the site, causing some instability. I can assure you we are doing all in our powers to rectify this, and normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. In the short term, we have posted a holding page, to reduce negative experience to your valuable visitors. We will be back in touch as soon as we have further information. Please bear with us, we appreciate your patience. Don't worry, if you are hogwild mad to get your hands on the "Kate" dress and cannot wait for the Reiss server to catch up to the demand, consider some of these other, equally as lovely dresses to help you look Princess Chic!
