yep, i got the black one don't have a digicam at the moment, but it looks exactly like this it has a part of the NYC subway map printed on the inside. i found the idea very original, that's basically why i chose this model

^^Those are great! The subway print is my fav of the line.

I've been the hamptons this week - and all I see are ray-ban's of different colors and shapes. They're still really hot. I think they've moved into the "classic" category now.

p.s. I finally found the wayfarer skinny's in a polarized version!

[beauxgoris]

These but in a polarized version. Now that I have polarized sunglasses, I can't wear anything else!

I'm looking for these sunglasses but it's hard to find them. Have you ever seen them in light havana?
And beauxgoris can you tell me what are the difference between usual glasses and the polarized ones?

^^Which ones are you looking for?

As for polarization, yes it costs more - but it's TOTALLY worth it. Polarization can be in grey, grey-green, or brown lens - but in addition to cutting out UVA and UBA rays, it eliminates glare. For example when you're driving on a sunny day and the cars coming towards you all have bright reflected windshields facing you - well polarization gets rid of that so you can see right in the car. It's like x-ray glasses. haha. It's great for snow as well and also when you're at the beach or on the water: it takes the glare off the water so you can see beneath. Once you have polarized you won't want to be without it.

thanks for explaining. i was always wondering why there is such a big prize difference between polarized ones and others
that sounds great it'd be great esp. for driving; maybe i'll get a pair

[beauxgoris]

^^They're really great for driving, actually I can't imagine driving now without them. I have a lot of sunglasses, and I'm passing by even my "nicer" Chanel sunglasses that aren't polarized in favor of all my polarized pairs.
