From The Band of Outsiders look book to Beyonce’s rockin’ street style, Illesteva’s stylish specs are popping up everywhere (and the sun isn’t the sole reason for their perpetual presence). The young brand’s new model, the Albert frames, which are charmingly inspired by the 1970’s French comedy “La Cage aux Folles,” are surely to maintain the popularity their sibling frames induced.

Yesterday the clocks rolled ahead an hour, and with it the sweet reassurance that we are, in fact, moving forward into the glorious days of warm weather and eternal sunshine and bliss.

The pairs boast of seamless sophistication that only further exemplify the signature Armani way of design.

When given a Tiffany’s box on a day like Valentine’s Day, a girl is bound to think it’s for a certain finger. For those who are yearning to add a flair of Tiffany’s to their accessory collection but aren’t interested in blinging out that finger, why not wear diamonds near your eyes instead? The iconic brand has released a line of eyewear included both spectacles and sunglasses as a part of its Tiffany Key and Tiffany’s Signature lines.

No matter the weather, sunglasses are a welcome addition to any look.

In case you haven’t heard, Gucci’s got a new perfume. And what better to accompany the sultry brand’s even sultrier fragrance, wickedly named Gucci Guilty, but super sleek sunglasses?

In a chilled atmosphere, it’s important to maintain a look of chic confidence with just a hint of playful elusion. Dior’s new line of oversized sunglasses, Dior Striking, provides that look.

Emporio Armani and (PRODUCT) RED recently launched a new style of sleek sunglasses that provide a vintage feel perfect for strutting the crowded city streets. The sunglasses emulate the perfect balance of both worlds – a fashionable mix of the old with the new.

Aviator frames are already pretty rough and tough on their own (think Marlon Brando in The Wild One and you’ll get the idea). Add a bit of leather to the mix and you’ve got shades meant to wear while straddling a Harley. Though we don’t know if that’s what Gucci had in mind with their new eyewear collection, we’d like to imagine ourselves urban cowboys in these new frames.

A good pair of shades is just as much of a necessity throughout the fall as they are in the summer months, and this season Juicy Couture’s “Create” collection gives you two reasons to pick up a pair: each of the wonderfully over-sized, vintage-inspired frames comes with an additional set of colorful temples, so you can switch up the specs to match your outfit (or mood). The interchangeable temples come in contrasting colors—think pink with teal, coral with tortoise—retail at around $120 a pair, and are available at Juicy Couture Boutiques, Solstice Sunglass Boutiques, and select department stores. Now that’s out of sight.

Forget seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. Instead, see RED. This August Emporio Armani and (PRODUCT) RED are debuting a new style of sunglasses and a watch for both ladies and gents. Both his and hers sunglasses will retail for $180 each and feature a vintage square frame style for the women and an 80s teardrop frame for the men. The unisex watch retails for $240 and features 43mm black ion-plated stainless steel quartz (read: chic and functional), and is water resistant. For all three items a gracious portion of the proceeds benefit (PRODUCT) RED—a global fund dedicated to eliminating HIV/AIDS in Africa. Fashion, function and philanthropy, what’s not to love?
