As seen on ............Mary Kate Olsen

The Olsen twins are very rarely referred to separately, however in this case, Mary-Kate is the only one that has caught my attention. Having what I consider as great style, she manages to blend very grungy vintage pieces with quite glamorous designer items, which in turn has coined the term "glunge".

With Mary-Kate's style carrying such interest among the fashion world, this, I am sure won't be the only time that I refer to her, however on this instance I think that her choice in sunglasses is quite intereting. She has rehashed the "lennon" sunglasses. The round sunglasses, that John Lennon made famous and fashionable, with Janis Joplin, Ossy Osborne, and many other musicians following in suit. In May, Mary-Kate Olsen went out in her flannelette best, doning a pair of round sunnies, not the ones by Ralph Lauren, or Chanel (even though they are very nice) but a very traditional 70's inspired pair.

Since the 70's the round sunnies have made a few apperances, shortly in the 80's and even in the 90's (check out 90210, I think I had a pair in high school). However, in the last year, a number of designers have re-invented this classic style, Chanel, Karen Walker, Ralph Lauren and even Marc Jacobs have taken the round sunglasses and made them fashion forward (and expensive). Even Lady Gaga, the our current Style "No No" person has been seen out wearing them (and not a whole lot else).

The hot eye wear look of 2008 was pretty much defined by the plastic Wayfarer knock offs or it was Shutter Shades popularized by Kanye West. This summer however, the memo for sunglasses says: CIRCLES ARE IN! Ruby Red Dress stores have a small range of cirlce sunnies for $25 - go in and try them on - you never know, you might like them.
