A new collection of shades from Prada will come complete with tiny letter, number and symbol squares that can be inserted into the sides of the frames where the brand’s logo normally sits. There is a heart, a star, a dollar sign and an exclamation point among other characters, and you can use them in any combination you want, if of course you have the $365 to spend on a pair of these sunglasses. {The Cut}

Sunglass Hut will have them on sale in black, tortoiseshell and white. The earpieces come apart to allow insertion of the personalization characters, but you can choose only two to put in each earpiece at a time. {stylemebad}

What do you think – are customizable shades cool or too teeny bopper? Do you like them but have no interest in paying $365 for something as fragile as sunglasses? We’re not sure what to make of it, but don’t think it will be a big enough hit and pump up Prada’s sales. Let us know your thoughts!

Over the Heart On Your Sleeve? Try Bones on Your Wrists: If Everyone Jumped http://198.46.88.49/style/jewelry/over-the-heart-on-your-sleeve-try-bones-on-your-wrists-if-everyone-jumped http://198.46.88.49/style/jewelry/over-the-heart-on-your-sleeve-try-bones-on-your-wrists-if-everyone-jumped#respond Wed, 06 Oct 2010 21:21:16 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=16187 What is with body parts suddenly becoming appropriate to wear as fashion? First Lady Gaga turns the world on to wearing raw meat, and now apparently bone-inspired pieces are being sold as accessories.

This morning, Elle Accessories posted photos of Shaun Leane gold and silver vertebrae ball bracelets, so you can wear a spine around your wrist if you want to. We have to admit the irony of using body parts as clothes and accessories is kind of interesting, but visible bones are a bit creepy. And we don’t want them crawling around our arms all day. Sure skulls and crossbones can be kind of cool and rocker-ish, and the gold and silver take some of the morbid edge off, but that is where the line needs to be drawn. Unless it’s Halloween, or you’re a 14-year-old going through a goth phase.

If you disagree, or you want to luxe up your Halloween costume, you can get one of these pieces of fine jewelry here for about 1,162 U.S. dollars.
