I can’t exactly recall which came first: Buying my new rad vintage sunnies or singing Rocketman repeatedly in my head, and aloud. Either way, I can’t help my insatiable appetite for fantabulous frames to Sir Elton John. He is the fore-fairy-godfather of wild sunglasses, and for that (along with countless hours of music), we thank him. Let’s take a gander at some of his greatest specs.

There’s a funk quartet somewhere in world kicking themselves for not snatching this name sooner. Retrosuperfuture, therefore, makes sunglasses. And they make them just how it sounds they would: they take classic shapes we know and twist ‘em through time. Take a look:

In the midst running off to the Hamptons from Memorial Day Weekend, FashionIndie editor McArthur Joseph grabbed my beach bag and dumped it out in the loft! In prompt reporter style, he documented the mess before I hopped in a car and ran off for the weekend. Here’s what he found, hope it helps you pack for your weekends away!

Minus this week of horrible drenching weather, the sun is finally starting to peek its head through the spring clouds. But what to do when you need a fabulous pair of sunglasses AND prescription lenses? If you don’t want to be squinting all summer, LensCrafters has the solution. Luckily, FashionIndie was able to attend LensCrafter’s RxHIBITION where style goddess Joan Rivers was giving advice on eye wear DOs and DON’Ts. We all took a personality quiz to determine if we were the style maven, classic, connoisseur or adventurer. Finding out how to look your best even when dripping sweat in the subway was priceless, especially from an icon like Rivers. We even got the perfect pair of prescription Ray-Bans so we can wear them at all hours of the day, both inside and out. See more photos of the event after the jump.

The sunglasses I wore all winter* have taken a break. Literally, they broke in my pocket. Sad, and a reminder to always use a case. With a heavy heart and eyes on the horizon, I spent the day compiling the 20 shadiest shades of the season for me, and for you.

In a collection sprung from the forties, Miuccia Prada has downplayed the playfulness in the clothes, morphing to a more austere silhouette. Where a glamorous modesty thrives throughout, the new Miu Miu sunglasses embody the ludic quality that could not be entirely contained. Shown first with the cat’s eye furrow, tortoise shell frame and yellow lens, they spell optimism. The shades that follow have a less exaggerated cat’s eye, but wilder frames – crystalized crimson, and glittering silver and gold. These shapely shades are some seriously covetable sunglasses for the Fall 2011 season.
