Musicians Rock Versace Sunglasses
Looking for something to wear for your next music video? Try the Versace VE2120 Sunglasses. But only the Gold version. Celebrities don’t wear the Silver version. At least Lady Gaga, Omarion, Kid Cudi, Ciara, Flo-Rida and Cyhi Da Prynce don’t.
Versace 2120 Sunglasses are popular with celebrities of both sexes.
So why these sunglasses?
To begin, the inspiration behind the sunglasses in the collection is actress January Jones, the face of Versace accessories, who is known for her fashion-forward choices.
These cat-eyed frames look different from traditional sunglasses, and they look even more different from traditional cat-eyes. The lens shape is highly unique, forming to the shape of the bridge. The combination of the lens and frame front looks like two wings, which can give a whole new meaning to the idea of leading with your best asset but instead letting that asset lead and fly away with you.
Probably the best feature of these sunglasses is that the iconic Versace Medusa head, bolted through the lens in the top corners, has the illusion of traveling through the air. Going along with the flying motif, when viewed from the side, the gold or silver of the temples looks like wind left behind by Medusa.
The details on these Versace sunglasses give them a beauty and complexity that make the frames popular with so many celebrities.

Vuarnet Sunglasses – Don’t Call it a Comeback
Quality never goes out of style and the new collection of Vuarnet Sunglasses illustrates this perfectly. Between the 1960′s and the 1990′s Vuarnet was synonymous with top-quality and stylish eyewear for the outdoor athlete. They were made popular by their namesake, skier Jean Vuarnet, but were soon ubiquitous in the world of downhill skiing, snowboarding, boating, and almost any other outdoor activity. In fact, Corey Shapiro, competitive skier, sunglass aficionado, and blogger remembers that “all the coolest dudes on the ski hill were wearing . . . Vuarnet Sunglasses.”
Vuarnet Sunglasses are now available online at FramesDirect.com
One of Vuarnet’s new lenses is the Citylynx lens which is a revolutionary lens crafted to provide visual comfort perfectly suited for life in an urban environment. These lenses are perfect for both fashion-minded urbanites on the go or and for those extreme urban athletes who practice the art of parkour. The Citylynx lens brings the style and quality of Vuarnet off of the ski slopes and down into the Urban Jungle.
Vuarnet is proud of its new lens technology, but it is also proud of its newest designs and styles. Vuarnet is not just a sports brand but an actual lifestyle that combines tradition, comfort, modernity, and fashion. The new styles range from retro wayfarer designs and new takes on aviators to modern wraparounds and unique playful designs.
The new Vuarnet collection will be sold in the United States exclusively with FramesDirect.com, so the quality will run straight through from the service right to the brand new Vuarnet frames and lenses. Outdoor sports fanatics, urban adventurers, and fashionistas alike can now join FramesDirect.com and Vuarnet to fulfill Vuarnet’s goal to have everyone enjoy life everyday.

Steve Jobs Eyeglasses…Or Should That be iGlasses?
So you’ve been inspired by the late Steve Jobs to change the world in breathtaking technological ways that will forever shape and influence the course of humanity? Great! But before you start tinkering away in your garage on the next big hi-tech wonder gadget; let’s make sure you look the part.
Steve Jobs was not only known for spinning out a string of creative gadgetry and businesses, but also for being quite a snappy dresser, if by snappy you mean predictable. By wearing the same thing every day, Jobs was able to ensure that none of his brain cells were wasted on answering questions like “Do these cuff links match this belt?” but were all focused on answering questions like “How can I make a telephone play Scrabble?”
Jobs will be forever remembered as the mega genius in jeans and a black shirt, but there is another part of his daily wardrobe that shouldn’t be overlooked: his eyeglasses!
Steve Jobs’ iconic rimless eyeglasses with round frames were the perfect complement to his personal style. They blended in so effortlessly with his appearance that you probably didn’t even know he wore glasses at all until you read this. Well guess what…he did! And you can too!
With the Savile Row Round Diaflex Rimless Eyeglasses from FramesDirect.com you can grace your face with the elegant brilliance of the Apple mastermind and be well on your way to inventing the next big world-changing innovation.
While Jobs’ eyeglasses were a custom made design, these classy Savile Row frames are nearly identical. They are made by hand in London, England and you can get them with single vision or progressive prescriptions. Added bonus: these were also worn by Eric Clapton!
With these frames you’ll be well on your way to changing humanity for the better with fantastic, computerized gadgets. I would recommend staying away from the smartphone market, though. That one is pretty well covered. What other unassuming device could you turn into a technological wonder that people would wait in line for all night? How about a toaster that’s also a universal remote!

Tom Ford Sunglasses are Back!
Tom Ford Sunglasses are back! The styles are unmistakably appealing: full of geometric shapes and large oversized frames. A relatively even blend of male and female styles make up the collection and the price point is going to put each frame around $300. Women in particular will be interested in the collection due to its high volume of unique and highly modernized styles. Many of the male styles are straightforward aviators or rectangles, while women will see oversized squares, rounds and cat-eyes.
Tom Ford was born and bred in Austin Texas. After working with Gucci he began his own brand, which quickly took off and now remains one of the leading designer names in the industry. His frames take some risks but maintain a classic and vintage style, which can give the collection a unique feeling but maintain a sense of nostalgic class. We have male, female and unisex styles populating the collection and the design choices are very unique to the brand. Bold choices are a key trait of the Tom Ford brand and his sunglasses line is no exception to the rule.
Tom Ford Sunglasses are highly popular among celebrities as well, with Brad Pitt and Gwen Stefani being huge supporters of the brand. They are seen often wearing various Tom Ford styles.
Here are some of the more unique and popular frames:

Spy Optic Signs Mike Montgomery
Spy Optic goggles and sunglasses will be endorsed by MTB freestyle/freeride standout Mike Montgomery.
“Mike’s slope style runs leave spectators either fist-pumping or slack-jawed and speechless, and his jumps push the limits of the sport so far that it hurts,” says Victor Sheldon, SPY motocross and cycling marketing manager. “He’s a rider’s rider, a guy that other competitors cheer-on because he’s legit, he has absolutely no fear, and he’s a solid dude on and off the bike.”
Montgomery won the Pinkbike Best Trick Throwdown at Ranchstyle this past May, followed that up with a win in the MTB Slopestyle event at the 2011 Teva Mountain Games on June 1, and clinched another Best Trick title at the Jump Ship Dirt Jump Invitational in Canada, held June 10-12.
“Mike casually made his way into the top 20 in the FMB World Tour Rankings this year, and we’re looking forward to supporting him through more stops on the calendar so he can wage a proper assault on the top of that leaderboard,” says Sheldon.
Montgomery joins the family of SPY mountain bike riders, including reigning UCI Mountain Bike World Champion Sam Hill and UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup standout, 17-year-old Troy Brosnan.
“I’ve been a SPY guy from the start and I’ll be a SPY guy when I retire 100 years from now,” says Montgomery. “They make the best goggles around, their new Performance sunglasses are insane, and the people at the company are the real deal. I’m stoked to be officially on board with the team, and I’m looking forward to going big in my SPYs.”
Next-up for Montgomery is the Kokanee Crankworx Best Trick Showdown, July 21 (following the Jeep Air downhill and Hill and Brosnan appearances). Thereafter Montgomery will attempt two distance world records at Mammoth Lakes, Calif., Sept. 23 and Sept. 24.
