Since sun finally arrived in Vancouver (I swear it’s the last place to arrive!), I thought I’d do a couple of sunglass shopping guides, starting with the classic wayfarer, but re-imagined with fun colours and patterns. First designed in 1952 by Ray-Ban, it was popularized by James Dean, JFK, Bob Dylan and other super cool amazing people.

Audrey Hepburn wearing Oliver Goldsmith in Breakfast at Tiffany’s


A BIT OF FASHION TRIVIA: Contrary on the popular belief, Audrey Hepburn did not wear Ray-Bans in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The famous green-lensed tortoise sunnies she wore were by Oliver Goldsmith, a style he named “Manhattan” that was re-released a couple of years ago. One can get the exact pair as Audrey’s or you can get the fun purple ones above.
