Vintage Picks: Sunglasses
I love my specs, so I can't exactly pop on any pair of sunglasses and drive around town. Pity because I'm famous in my own mind and need to shield my eyes from the harsh light of reality. Since I have to get prescription lenses anyway, I think I'll buy a sweet pair of vintage frames. I'm thinking something big and Audrey.
