Seeing Blue

January 11, 2010 by WendyB

I like!

Marni shades. $356 at mytheresa.com.

UPDATED TO ADD: How could I mention blue sunglasses without mentioning Anne Slater, who’s famous for her blue glasses? The shame! Thanks to gorgeous blogger Belle de Ville for jogging my memory.

    I don’t like — I love! I’ve got some old Max Mara’s w/ blue tints. Everything looks so clear and bright through them.

    How appropriate — my anti-spam word is “darling”

    I wonder if these sunny blue shades could clear up the grey day today. It would really lift my mood so would be well worth it.

    I love these and what annoys me most I had an original 50s pair like these and they got lost!

  22. Denise @ Swelle says

    I love Marni and I love blue. But coloured lenses have unfortunately been tainted for me thanks to an ex who wore them every time he went out. He was a major wang.

    Anne Slater is awesome!

  29. Miss Peelpants says

    January 12, 2010 at 11:00 am

    You’ve reminded me that I ought to buy some blue lightbulbs, they’re very flattering!

    Nice specs, although I think I still prefer rose-tinted ones…

  30. Sally says

    January 12, 2010 at 11:17 am

    I LOVE. Although Husband Mike has been threatening to get some everyday eyeglasses with yellow lenses, and I fear he’ll look like a Bono wannabe.

    January 12, 2010 at 12:47 pm

    I need to come up with a quirky signature hallmark for my twilight years….but what?!

  32. Mish Dish says

    January 12, 2010 at 1:12 pm

    I love them. I heard Anne Slater purchased 100 pairs of those blue cat eye glasses in the 60’s so she would have them her entire life. Now that is planning a signature look. xo Mish

    January 12, 2010 at 1:12 pm
