From pre Oscars primping to presenting awards, two of Hollywood’s hottest male leads were spotted in Oliver Peoples yesterday. Gerard Butler was out in Beverly Hills wearing the Connolly while getting ready for his night at the Oscars. Later in the evening, Robert Downey Jr. stepped out onto the red carpet in Sheldrake Storm Grey with a custom blue tinted lens to compliment the blue in his chic Lanvin ensemble! Robert Downey Jr. also wore the Sheldrake while presenting the award for Best Original Screenplay alongside actress and comedian Tina Fey and even later that night at the infamous Vanity Fair Oscar party. They were inseparable!

Nothing is better to compliment the red carpet than a hot pair of shades!

That’s right … not the 411, but the 944, as in info on what’s hot!

The editors of 944 Magazine came to us, knowing our reputation for being the top stylists in fashion eyewear, to find out what the 2010 sunglass trends are. And we were more than happy to let them know and provide a few examples such as frames from Orgreen, Gold & Wood, Oliver Peoples, Ray-Ban, and Mykita.

Check us out in the March 2010 issues of 944 Magazine: San Francisco and 944 Magazine: Las Vegas, where we show you some of our favorite shades…




Lady Gaga does it again and again – scantily clad in sparkly getups. Accompanying her almost at all times are glamorous whimsical frames. 2010’s eyewear trend release a breathe of fresh air. Color, shape, and oomph scream “wear me.”

The Orgreen sunglasses are totally Gaga-licious … large, with sharp angles, and a cat-eye uplift. The Danish designer takes titanium eyewear to the next level with edgy designs and many vibrant fashion forward colors and finishes.

Oliver Peoples has entered the world of suspended metal – hand-laid wire encased in two layers of plastic and remaining visible, resulting in a floating metal wire that appears suspended. You’ll look like a celebrity hiding from the paparazzi in these sunglasses.

Mykita, the handmade German collection, is taking their designs to the next level, entering the world of colorful plastics! Their chic women’s sunglasses are sexy.

For the luxurious type, Gold & Wood’s buffalo and precious metal sunglasses define class.

Or go with the simple and classic Wayfarer from Ray-Ban. Yet again, another rebirth with the newest dual-sided colorful designs displaying adventurous backsides.

As each season changes it’s your chance to step outside of the box and try a new look.
It’s Spring baby, and it’s on!

Get Closer to ‘The Closer’ with Paul Smith PS-3008

Kyra Sedgwick, star of the television series 'The Closer,' wearing Beausoleil Sunglass Model s212.Paul Smith Spectacles Model PS-3008 Color Onyx Gray
Paul Smith’s PS-3008 is a perfect replacement for the DISCONTINUED Beausoleil S/212 that Kyra Sedgwick wears on ‘The Closer.’ Not only is it similar, but its even better, and its available for online ordering!

So, we have been getting a ton of email inquiries about Kyra Sedgwick’s sunglasses on ‘The Closer,’ and a little web analytics has revealed many hits on our site for people searching for this frame. So we are going to do what we do best and give you the inside scoop on your favorite eyewear.

The frame that Kyra is wearing is a sunglass by Frederic Beausoleil, model S/212. Frederic Beausoleil is a French eyewear designer. And yes, we do carry his line. The ‘bad’ news is that this frame has been DISCONTINUED; It is no longer available. In fact, we sold the very last one that Beausoleil had.

The GOOD NEWS is that we have put our skills to the test to find the ultimate replacement for you. In the picture above to the right of Kyra in her frame, you can see Paul Smith’s PS-3008. This frame is very similar to the Beausoleil S/212, but perhaps even better ;) .

A ‘closer’ look reveals that the Beausoleil frame Kyra is wearing is in fact slightly to shallow (not enough depth in the frame vertically) and to boxy on the edges. This makes the frame run slightly wide for her face and boxes her up.

On the other hand, the Paul Smith PS-3008 is actually a much more attractive version of Kyra’s frame. You are going for the same look, but with finer details that will accentuate all of your best features. It is slightly narrower and with a little more depth, making it a much better fit size-wise for the average woman. It also has a little more of an outwards angle on the edges which in addition to the slight cat-eye, gives more of an upward lift (very inexpensive face-lift, right?) as opposed to the Beausoleil’s boxiness. The Paul Smith would definitely be a much better fit with its beautiful shape.

Why simply look like Kyra when you can actually look better? Purchase the Paul Smith PS-3008 below.

$279 (includes applicable taxes and shipping)
