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!

Get the Perfect Pair http://198.46.88.49/style/shoes/get-the-perfect-pair http://198.46.88.49/style/shoes/get-the-perfect-pair#respond Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:27:27 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=3711

Over the past few years Converse has rapidly widened the selection of colors, patterns, and textiles for the iconic Chuck Taylor shoe (the most successful shoe in history), and now the company is offering an option for consumers to design completely original Chucks, Jack Purcells, or other sport shoes via the Converse website.

We were hooked for about an hour creating multiple shoe possibilities, and with over a dozen individual shoe sections to play around with, there is certainly a combination that’s right for everyone.  Prices vary depending on make and fabric (we absolutely love the leather option for low- and high-top Chucks!), and shipping takes approximately 2-4 weeks.  But sorry, international readers: for now this feature is only available to ship within the US.
