Spectacle Loves Raf Simons

Designer extraordinaire Raf Simons has paired up with style maven Linda Farrow for the co release of some super fresh sunnies this season.

Our fav frame is the RAF14, a model that makes you think leather driving gloves, convertible sports cars, collard shirts on guys named Chase and a weekend in the Hamptons.

Not having access to any of those we went with the next best thing, Spectacle's own Eric as a model for all three colors of this frame. Check it out

Freda Loves Mosley Tribes

Its finally Freda's turn to tell us about her "Staff Pick" of favorite sunglasses.

Having worked as a Spectacle stylist since way back in '06 and having designed her own menswear collection for Toronto's fashion week just last year Freda knows a thing or two about what it takes to look good and thankfully for us she isn't afraid to share that knowledge.

"This frame is creative, expressive and oh so beautiful! These limited edition Lyndells are most defiantly my favorite sun specs from 2010! They have a beautiful hand laid beaded detail on the temples- inspired by Native American hand woven blankets. The colourful beads on the temple adds a modern twist to this retro inspired frame. I love the contrast between a rainbow temple and solid black keyhole frame front!"

These Mosley Tribes Lyndel's handed beaded by American Jewlery designer Jenny Dayco are available at Spectacles West Queen West boutique and in Freda's dreams.

"Per il Sole," it's Italian for Persol!

A staple of Hollywood fashionista's and inspired Italian designs, there's no mistaking a Persol Sunglass!

The classic "sword" pattern hinge is a dead give away while the glass lenses, many polarized to block glare, are why Persol sunnies aren't just pretty, they're exceptionally comfortable to wear.

Spectacle Lawrence Park, on Yonge Street has got you covered with iconic styles by one of the Godfather lines of Fashion sun specs.

The Famous Folding 714 in Black

Three Words Beyonce: "Pulling. Them. Off."

Some new additions to our collection include the sleek and sexy Model 2991 available in tortoise, black, and olive tortoise as well as another Persol trademark, the 2355 squared aviator in gunmetal and black.

The 2991 is a style often imitated but never duplicated, much like other fine Italian exports like Sophie Loren and the delicious taste of Brio...

The 2355, so sleek your friends will mutter envious things under their breathe...but no one will hear them over how cool you look.

And for that pure, timeless cool factor, the 2761 (available in two sizes) sums up everything the Persol look has come to represent.

The 2761 in stock in classic black and tortoise shell, this is the kind of frame you toss on and hop into a Porsche...or Maserati for that matter!

George knows how to keep it real.

With many more models than we can show here in stock at Spectacle Yonge Street, why not grab an espresso, and step into a Federico Fellini film - you bring the glamor, we've got your shades!

Thanks to one of our favorite all time stylists Lee "Hot Stuff" Sullivan Spectacle is all over this years Harry Rosen catalog.

Lee went with two of his and our all time favorite Cutler and Gross', the 0772 in Blk and Dark Tort for the majority of these shots and the results are quite handsome if we do say so ourselves, take a look see................

Equal thanks to Mr's Rosen and Sullivan, Spectacle Loves You
