Spot the Carrera?


Since I figured out that all these celebrities were walking around in Carrera sunglasses I have realized that now I can't seem to go anywhere or watch anything on television without spotting more.

Seriously. It's become a pretty amusing habit. I was even watching the Olympics the other day (or every day, who am I kidding?) and the winner of two gold medals in ski jumping, Simon Ammann (the one they keep referring to as a Harry Potter look-a-like even though I don't see it, aside from the fact that they both happen to wear glasses), was rockin' the Carreras after his big win.


Know who else has some serious Carrera love? Usher.


He also follows in the fabulous footsteps of Lady Gaga and Alicia Keys by sporting these:


The 'Endurance' style in his latest video - Daddy's Home.



So, shall we play a little game? See who else is a Carrera fan?

Well, it's my blog, and I vote yes! So, here goes...

I spy with my little eye...

An heiress-slash-amateur-porn-star with nothing better to do with her time or money than match her sunglasses to an atrociously ugly bathing suit.


A rap star at the Grammy Awards lookin' way more serious than one ever should while attending an awesome award ceremony and while wearing bright blue sunglasses.


A tiny, blonde Disney starlet, with her super-cute boyfriend, wearing sunglasses that swallow half of her face.


A former boybander turned solo star/producer/clothing designer with way too much scruff for my liking.


Okay, that's enough Carrera spotting for now. What do you guys think? Maybe I can make this game happen more often. A 'spot the whatever' type column? Let me know if you're as highly amused by any of this as I am.

Excuses, excuses...


Okay, I admit it... Between work, schoolwork, fashion week, and my obsession with watching every single sport during the entire duration of the 2010 Winter Olympics... Everything else has kind of fallen by the wayside. I offer you my most profound apologies and sincerest promises that I will try to get my act together.


These promises, however, come with the stipulation that I cannot be held accountable for my actions, or lack there of, during the Olympics. I've been this way since I was a child. The entire event just captivates every last bit of my attention. I find it very difficult to focus on other activities when I know there is a very important hockey game I could be watching, figure skating routine I could be critiquing, downhill skiing run I could be cringing at, or hell, even curling competition I could be trying to figure out.


Never fear though... I have managed to pull myself away long enough to write a little somethin'-somethin' on fashion week. A post about my favorite looks from all the shows will be up soon, but in the mean time I'm going to mention some fab nail polish spotted on the runways of the Chris Benz show.

This is "Sweet Nude" by Lancôme and it looks like the perfect companion to their latest Pout-a-Porter shade, Chris & Tell. The shade is a lovely peachy-pink and it will be available later this year.

By the way, I hurried over to Saks Fifth Ave last Sunday to get my very own tube of Chris & Tell and let me tell you - the verdict is undeniable elation. This little baby really lives up to the hype. I'll try to figure out how to make some decent swatches, since I haven't quite mastered that art yet, and post them up as soon as possible. Seriously, the color is gorgeous. It lights up your entire face, makes your teeth look whiter, and just makes me smile. I'm not sure I've ever had such love for a lipstick before.

"I wanted the color to feel really fresh, youthful, and quite sporty. The color very much embodies the spirit of the Spring collection in its cheerfulness." - Chris Benz

That it does, Chris. Two, very enthusiastic, thumbs up for you and Lancôme.
