You know you're pushing thirty (well, on the bad side of twenty-five) when it's Thursday and the Bachelorette party from last weekend, at which you did not even drink, is still slowing you down. Feeling a little weak after late nights and watching those male dancers, I'm definitely in need of non-hangover "hangover shades". The right amount of sass with a dash of sweetness, I love the Scarlett from Anne et Valentin. Gorgeous in every color combination, this sweet sunny will not only cover up my dark circles, it might help me look innocent after the debauchery that was my big sister's Bachelorette! Cheers to beautiful shades and a quicker recovery.

This weekend happens to be my sister Susie's Bachelorette Party! In preparation for the big weekend I sent out an itinerary outlining all of the weekend's plans, including naked men in cowboy hats, really good Tex-Mex, a lingerie party, etc...in hopes of getting a few laughs I added the appropriate attire for each event and noted that Saturday night would be the big night out and let the girls know not to be afraid of "getting a little slutty"...I also thought it would be funny to say that "Susie said she would be wearing leather." I sent it out to thirty girls and apparently left a period or underscore off of a certain G-mail address and after several "Reply Alls" from the gang, an incorrect recipient responded by saying "I don't know who you are or why you are sending me these things, but you have the wrong person. I am not interested in your slutty leather"...

I applauded her response, urged her to spam my E-mail address, and apologized for the inconvenience. Moral of the story...not everyone likes slutty leather. Or jokes about slutty leather. Who knew???

So...here is some relatively conservative leather by DKNY that would be perfect for a rehearsal dinner or maybe a "Bachelorette Tea" - paired with Marry Me shades from Oliver Goldsmith, a clutch from Marni, and Charlotte Olympia shoes that make me wish I had better "stiletto endurance" - this one's for you, Sue. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! See you Saturday - I'll be the girl in the turtleneck and pantsuit or maybe something from Balmain. XO!

Good Morning, Texas!

There is always so much to say and never enough time to say it. Here is my television debut with Dr. Bank and Insight Complete Eye Care. Bottom line: Buy luxury from your favorite local optician. XO from Texas, Ya'll!

Just the right amount of pink on a walnut that every lady needs in her optical closet, I'm loving Jackie "17" from Xavier-Derome. Exclusive, hand-made, and with a little girl meets boy attitude, I love every frame in this collection.

Check out all of Xavier-Derome's Jackie shapes here.

You've been waiting and they are here...your favorite British eyewear designer has added sunnies to her fabulous optical collection. A great addition to the Goldsmith family of frames, the classic Oliver Goldsmith icons that you love are complemented perfectly by these Claire Goldsmith shades. Like converting your favorites sunglasses into opticals, Claire Goldsmith has added a sun lens to her perfectly British optical frames and the result is fab. A little quirk to balance out your classic sensibilities, these frames will take you from work to play with ease. For him and for her - I love everything Goldsmith.

Check them out here.

P.S. Remember to hashtag all of your CG pics! #Mycglife is awesome...How about yours?

There's something super sexy about an oversized cateye. Big, bold and beautiful, I am obsessed with Dita's Magnifique and this vertical ombre hue is close to perfect. Gorgeous on a blonde and sweet on a brunette, this frame has been seen on gobs of celebrities, but no one will look as fab in it as you! Paired with a gemstone clutch from Rauwolf that makes me want to play dress up, this pair makes me a little weak in the knees.

Find your favorites here and here.

What's not to love about a frame dubbed "Slutty" - this stunner from Thierry Lasry is oversized, super chic, and in the perfect color combo.

Black and white and with just the perfect amount of dimension, this frame is beautiful dressed up and gorgeous dressed down.

Matsuda Sunnie Goes Optical

Just because a frame comes one way doesn't mean you can't make it your own. I loved this sunglass from Matsuda even before I decided I wanted to wear it as an optical and with just a pop of the lens, I couldn't help myself. The newest addition to my optical closet, I can't wait to wear this one daily. Love.

Funky, chunky, and just the perfect shade of blue, I love this little stunner from Mykita. The Emil not only fits like a glove, it's shape gives any outfit an edge and it's color tends to just make you happy. With a work meets weekend tote from Reed Krakoff and Chloe flats that are almost as necessary in every color as my favorite Lanvin ballets, Jeans and a T-shirt just got elevated. Here's to being chic in blue.

Get your Mykita here, Reed Krakoff here and Chloe's here.
