BrandHabit: Super cool: Super Sunglasses

by Carlina Harris

I'm the first to admit I love to try ostentatious trends whether it's turban inspired headpieces a la Carrie in SATC 2, or obscenely flamboyant harem pants, which Parisians pull off so well. But one thing which I usually like to keep neutral is my eye-wear. I tend to be attracted to classic shapes, colors and name brands glasses which have been around for ages, they are protecting my eyes after all! But last week when I ran across underground Italian label Super, most of my sun-glass notions went out the window. And I wanted to get Super, bad! With Summer here already, I just might have to don a pair of these fashion forward glasses asap.

Super makes extraordinary shades in candy colored hues, and interesting shapes, yet also caters to the more classic- ladies who lunch crowd. Not only are the shades so totally bad-ass, but they are hand-made in Italy with the best materials possible, including Zeiss lenses, which guarantee an extremely high level of eye protection.

Celebs, fashion socialites, bloggers, and those in the "know" have been wearing Super since its inception in 2007. If you wanna jump on the bandwagon and get some Super, check out their website here, or peruse their extremely large list of US distributors. Check out my picks for the season below.
