Weird time to launch sunglasses, but I guess people wear sunglasses all year round.

The duo known as Mary-Kate and Ashley are expanding their high-end fashion line, The Row, to include a collection of sunglasses. They’re said to be teaming up eyewear designer Linda Farrow and the line is expected to be ready in time for next spring.

They’re said to be creating only four looks, which would include aviators, oversized, vintage-inspired, and round rims– all of which reflect both of the girl’s personal taste in shade-wear.

The Olsen Twins finally have every fashion base covered! Mary Kate and Ashley recently teamed up with sunglass designer, Linda Farrow, to launch their new collection of eyewear for their accessories line, The Row. But the question is, are you ready to dish out $325 to $390 for these relatively basic shades?

Thanks NY Mag!

I would probably punch someone in the face if I saw them wearing these sunglasses in real life, especially if they were inside. But I am supporting their career in the world of editorials and rock stars. So, if you are a stylist, or a singer, get on these please because I really can’t justify wearing them myself. They are available here for pre-order.

Maybe I should just quit fashion and get my pilot’s license because, as of late, anything somewhat aviation related has tickled my fancy. I’ve got a feeling that these tortoise, stainless steel detailed, Lanvin aviators would go really well with the 3.1 Phillip Lim bomber I fell in love with last week. Totally obsessed with the double bridge and the big screws.
