Let’s start with Katie Holmes. Half of one of America’s favorite Hollywood power couples, Katie looks every bit the part in these rock star shield sunglasses.

Heidi Klum, our favorite German import, bundles up against the cold and protects her eyes with a sporty Aviator style frame. Take a style tip from the queen of the runway and don’t let a little snow rob your style!

Justin Chambers, one of the resident heart-throbs of Grey’s Anatomy, was caught dressing down in his Chrome Hearts “Erected.” Snow or Sun, keep those eyes covered!

Dr. 90210 (Robert Ray), the king of Hollywood cosmetic surgery, has been seen wearing his “Beast 3″ while working his rounds. Chrome Hearts go well with his stethoscope, don’t they?

Even the Country world is getting in on the Chrome Hearts trend. LeAnn Rimes has been crooning country toons since her early teenage years, but she’s proven she has more edge than we thought. Seen here in the “Double Tip.”

In case you need a second opinion, we have yet another doctor (albeit fictional) in our list. Omar Epps, one of the stars of House, is often seen in his Chrome Hearts glasses.

In addition to two fictional doctors and a real plastic surgeon, lets round out the list with a fictional plastic surgeon. Nip/Tuck’s Julian McMahon has been spotted in some great Chrome Hearts sunglasses.

Chrome Hearts most loyal Hollywood devotee? Paris Hilton. Here she is in her favorite, the “Queenie”

All Eyes on SF Optics

The streets of the Marina have a small town feel with eclectic charm that still resonates the aura of San Francisco. On a nice day, this is, by far the place to be – and what better way to enjoy a sunny day in the Marina than with a nice pair of sunglasses (or a pair of regular spectacles at that) from SF’s swanky boutique of specs, SF Optics.

The name of the shop may sound like an ordinary place to get some shades, but don’t let the name fool you. Under the tutelage of Alex Feldman, SF Optics has the fashionable mainstays in the world of glasses (Chanel, Gucci, Robert Marc, Prada, Marc Jacobs), but they up the ante and then some with pieces that are unique and will rest on your head with style.

Brands like Gold & Wood combine a sense of nostalgia with urban flair via frames made out of actual wood. But it’s the Ete glasses that will pull you in, the frames encase feathers – yes you heard that right – FEATHERS. But don’t worry, no birds were harmed in making the glasses.

If these uber-chic glasses aren’t your cup of tea SF Optics has a buffet of specs you can choose from including in-vogue Ray Ban wayfarers and aviators of all types (a necessity in everyone’s accessory arsenal). Their newest Oliver Peoples collection is indeed the hot item of the moment. Modeled by their newest poster gal Zooey Deschanel, the new line is sealed with a kiss by the actress – literally. Each pair has a “kiss” from the beautiful Zooey.

Examiner.com Editorial - April '09

Pictured below, Kyra is wearing her infamous Beausoleil frames. Unfortunately for everyone, her specific frame, model 410 color 300, is not only sold out, but discontinued. Another note to make however is that this frame in fact is originally designed as a sunglass, but the lenses were taken out of it so it could be worn as clear eyeglasses.

Kyra Sedgwick and Zachary Levi wearing Beausoleil Eyewear

 Another celebrity styled into Beausoleil frames is Zachary Levi, who is the star of the upcoming film “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel.” He wears model O365 color 300.

Frederick Beausoleil is a designer out of France and his Beausoleil collection is made in France. The collections is available for purchase at SF Optics.

Barack Obama wearing Ray-Bans on the cover of Ebony Magazine

No, not Ray Ban … Ray-Ban! As in the sunglasses.

Throughout his campaign, Ray-Bans were Obama’s choice for protection from the sun. He wears model 3217.

They help him with the cool factor and they are definitely an All-American look.

John F. Kennedy wearing Ray-Ban Wayfarer

Going back in time, you’ll find that John F. Kennedy also chose Ray-Ban, wearing the Wayfarers.

Britney Spears wearing Tom Ford Whitney

Britney Spears loves her Tom Ford frames! And not just one, but two of them. 

Although the Whitney has been a big hit for a while, she still wears hers.

Britney Spears wearing Tom Ford Angelica

She also shows Tom her love with the Angelica.

Sarah Palin wearing Kazuo Kawasaki

Everyone is familiar with the Sarah Palin glasses craze. She set a new trend by bringing class to the Kazuo Kawasaki frames that can be compared to Jackie O’s impact on fashion.

Kazuo Kawaszki is an incredible rimless collection with titanium chasis. You can customize your own shape lens, just as Governor Palin did, to create your own unique look, or use one of Kawasaki’s several pre-designed shapes. The frame hardware is pressure mounted into the lens, ridding you of all the discomforts of screws. This rimless design is fashionable and edgy, yet intelligent.

It’s definately the way to go if you want a pair of durable and comfortable rimless frames. And they definately made the books as an eyewear fashion must-have.

Also, check out Swissflex and 2.5 eyephorics, the sister collections of Kazuo Kawasaki, which are made of surgical plastic!

Kazuo Kawasaki, Swiss Flex, and 2.5 eyephorics are available at SF Optics.

Purchase Sarah Palin’s Kawasaki’s here.
