Luxottica owned Sunglass Hut has been holding a contest for a Full-Time Fabulous fashion blogger. One of their top ten finalists Brianne featured an interview with our good friends Dee & Ricky. Of course they shouted out their favorite store Silver Lining Opticians where they get all those fabulous frames from. Read the interview here.

I had the pleasure of meeting Brittany Kleiman this weekend in Denver. Great style. I’m glad there were glasses in there somewhere.
At his recent store opening in NYC, Pierre Hardy can be seen wearing an awesome pair of vintage frames that look similar to the style Arthur Miller wore, and a style coming out in April from GLCO by our friend Garrett Leight.
This blog is amazing. I highly recommend it. Check out the post about Lapo Elkann wearing his Italia Independent Wrap Glasses–So Weird.

I had a dream.
I was Italian.
I was the stallion of steez.
I was the consigliere of crisyness.
I matched my Ferrari’s to my Stubbs.
I matched my speedboats to my ascots.
My women were bespoke, just like my suits.
Double breasted.
Always.
I took hard drugs on holidays.
And holidayed on hard drugs.
Seersucker in the coldest of winters.
Wool flannel in the most sweltering of summers.
In all my sartorial splendor I ravaged the world.
And broke every single rule I saw fit.
Shopping sprees with Willow Smith in Milan.
Racing dirtbikes through the Tuileries Garden with Shia LaBeouf.
I made him cry.
I was your favorite blogger’s favorite blogger’s muse.
Sat front row at fashion week, but I was on my Blackberry the entire time.
And they still invited me back.
Year after year.
Year after year.
Year.
After.
Year.
I had a dream.
I was Italian.
I was the stallion of steez.
I was the consigliere of crisyness.
