Your sunglasses get knocked around quite a bit, tumbling in your bag, floating with the change in your pocket, even your face is a wild ride. You have the propensity to swim in the ocean sunglass-ed, and boy do you ever wear them at night. In short, you’re kind of a badass, and you need some cheapies with an attitude like yours. Luckily, there’s one in every color that you can Knockaround.

If you live in New York City, you know the best part of Saturday and Sunday afternoon is basking in the warm sunlight with great food and strong drinks. If you’re not a fan of brunch, you apparently live in the wrong city – on every block there is at least one place you can get Eggs Benedict and a Bloody Mary to stave off hangover blues. As warm weather nears, more restaurants are opening their walls and outdoor seating for your enjoyment. But what to wear to this fabulous, yet casual occasion? Our guide below tells you how to dress for our favorite brunch spots in NYC.

It seems like every time I do a Fuck Ups it’s always about Hayden Christensen, but for good reason! He was spotted with his “style editor” (HA!) girlfriend Rachel Bilson at the French Open, and for being the boy toy of a style editor (again I use this term looser than Courtney Love’s skin) you’d think he’d look a lot better than he does. Now I know there is a Wayfarer craze currently going on, but people have to realize that they aren’t for everyone. Not that Hayden looks good to start, but now he looks like the demon spawn of Jack Osbourne and Neil Patrick Harris. God I hate celebrities.

Oliver Peoples decided to team up with the hipster princess Zooey Deschanel to design a few pairs of sunglasses. The shades are very Wayfarer-esque, but I don’t think anyone is really suprised by that at all. I think the glasses look great, but I think that the sunglasses market needs a make over. I’m concerned at how limited your options are when it comes to styles. I have been in the market for a new pair of shades since my Marc Jacobs from last year have taken quite the beating. Upon shopping around, I have realized I only really have two options, Wayfarers (no thanks!) or Aviators (I look dumb in 99% of them). BUMMER! Let me know if you indies have any suggestions.

Like Adidas, Vans, and even Fendi before them, Ray-Ban has jumped on the custom color bandwagon.
So if you can’t quite find a pair in your color, next year you can get the Colorize Kit: white Wayfarers, paint markers, and even little stencils.
No word yet on the price of the kit, but we know Kanye’s already pre-ordering 20.

“Many a poem, many a song, many an ode has been written about the human face, but I have yet to read one that suggests it might be improved by the addition of a pair of wonkily shaped plastic glasses in some kind of neon colour.”
