Their shaped frames are still made the old-fashioned way, in-house, to flatter multiple face shapes while making the most of natural wood grain and texture. Not only can you get polarized ones, but there is going to be a custom engraving program and a limited edition set coming up next. [via limited hype]

Shuttered sunglasses could be the death of your most favorite outfit, but only if you’re not confident enough to pull them off post-hype. Mykita’s 2010 spring/summer version by Romain Kremer are available in several colors, complete with metal shutters and some fine detailing. Designed to protect against brilliant sunshine, they are angular and bold. Do you dare? I’m thinking sky trip, Sahara, or both. [via flylyf]

Wider sides than many can complement a thicker face or frame, so if you’re sick of all the vintage-style aviators with skinny metal frames, they’re the pick. Robust and packaged up in a protective gift box. [via superflydeluxe.com]

One of my top frame choices this year has got to be the Super RSF Bread & Butter Berlin Edition with straight top frames in a nice butterscotch shade. Clear lenses by Zeiss combine forces with that drool-worthy Italian construction and tortoiseshell effect. Mmmm… vintage-y, with 180 made and individual numbering. Out of stock at Caliroots, no surprise there. [via high snobiety]

Nothing like a pair of reflective beauties to get you in the mood for sunning!
