shining sunnies

Were I trying to survive the arctic tundra that is currently New York City, I'd be focused on warm coats, gloves (socks!) and the like. Probably the last thing I'd have on my cold-snap priority list is a pair of statement sunglasses. But after checking out these street style pics, I can see that I would be in the minority, and also that it's time to do some sunglasses upgrading, as spring, believe it or not, is just around the corner! Clearly, the next pair has to have some cool retro (photogenic!) spirit, such as these by Dior (above and last pic), Super by Retrosuperfuture, Ray Ban, Topshop, and AJ Morgan (similar to below). Oh, and you can find that most excellent (and spring-friendly) Isabel Marant jacket, above, here and here.

P.S. Speaking of cold weather must-haves, I spotted a slew of them on sale at Nordstrom, including this Rag & Bone cape, this Topshop coat and this Vince Camuto parka, plus a Dolce & Gabbana bag or two! Check it all out here.
