Not sunglasses (well they could be) but I really want the Oliver Peoples Tycoon XL glasses (as worn by Ashley Olson). I can get them on eBay but I'm nervous about spending the money if they look weird on my face....

Are Chanel boutiques the only place you can buy Chanel sunglasses?

No, well at least not here in Australia. You can get Chanel at department stores & sunglass boutiques.

uniq - there are actually 3 sizes of ray-ban classic aviator (56, 58 and 62 I believe). Most online retailers carry the medium. I'm petite and have an oval face and find the medium the perfect fit. They fit my face but still maintain a kind of oversized quality I like. I found the small a bit too small personally.

 

[UNiQFashionista]

Thanks meg, I have a tiny oval/long face, so you think i should get the medium? 58?

 

[Meg]

well for comparison, I would say Nicole Richie almost definitely wears the mediums. Not very many stores stock the smaller or larger sizes. If you want her kind of look than get them, if you want something a bit more fitted to the size of your face, get the small.

thanks again Meg
one last question
here are two aviators, first from shopbop.com 2nd from nap, they dont state the specific size, but what do you think are the sizes?
NAP says 14.5 cms / 6 inches horizontally and 5 cms / 2 inches from top to bottom. , is that a medium or small?

pics from shopbop.com and net-a-porter.com

 

[Meg]

shopbop carries the medium for sure because I contacted them about it and it's where I ordered mine from I wasn't sure about NAP which is why I ordered from shopbop

 

[lostinemotion]

does anyone know of anywhere in NYC, I can get chloe sunglass cases? I received some and accidently had the cases tossed with all the unwrapping
Let me know.

you could try the boutique and see if they have any spare cases from display models. Other than that, you're best bet is just to go to an optical shop and get one of their free cases. Most people don't just have spare designer cases.

Okay, I am SO behind the ball here, but I just now found out Rayban Wayfarers come in two sizes? Do the celebs who wear them usually wear the smaller or larger size? I feel like I've only seen one size on most people...

 

[Gleam]

Does anyone have the "new" Rayban Wayfarers? Apparently it's an updated style (and also about $30 cheaper than the classic 1952 version).

How do you like these compared to the classic?
