These are the coolest thing ever! French label, Waiting for the Sun, makes a range of ubersmart shades from wood. There are heaps of styles to choose from. Very Grace Kelly and French Riviera. I can just imagine wearing them with a scarf around my head and the top down on my convertible as I wind around the streets of Monaco.

They live on planet C and B, two kooky and creative 20 year-old twin sisters, who are taking the human world by storm with their fierce brand of sunglasses. Coco and Breezy create studded and bullet-holed over-sized signature shields, but a recent trip to Paris inspired a wearable art, glow in the dark accessory line, and most recently, they rolled out a children’s collection. These kids are alright. And wear their sunglasses at night.

Kerin Rose has a sick sense of style. What you are looking at, if you could actually see, are the W.O.W. sunglasses by the accessory designer. Inspired by Wendy O. Williams, these glasses have six sterling silver spikes drilled through a clear band. Perfect for a night in of cuddling with your cutie in the dungeon.

The rough and frantic style of French graphic novelist Antoine Dode gives his panels an expressive and interestingly textured feel. Can’t wait to read hard copies of his work.
Canned fish is a staple for me on the road. High in omega-3s, high in protein, and generally low on cost, sardines, mackerel, and wild sockeye salmon out of a tin help keep me healthy when I don’t have access to a kitchen. In the States, I prefer the Bar Harbor brand of canned seafood. If I ever tour Sweden, I’ll have to try Garant based on their label design alone.
How many times can we play the same song in different settings? Hmmm, I don’t know. But it is a hell of a song, from a hell of a band, as that uniquely English oddity, Jules Holland would no doubt concur.
