Nooka's glow in the dark sunglasses for those of you who wear them at night.

Is this some kind of trick? On Wednesday, The Fashion Spot tweeted a sneak peak of a pair of Nooka Glow in the Dark Mercury Sunglasses to be made available in March on nooka.com.

The shades are pretty cool if you like the swallowed-up face look (which these days, most people do), and we admit it did take us a minute to figure out the problem here. This is it: What is the point of glow in the dark sunglasses? Aren’t sunglasses meant to be worn in the bright light? Isn’t that their purpose? To shade your eyes from bright sun light?

We know celebrities like Usher and other Joe-cool types like to wear their sunglasses at night, but we can’t really see Usher wearing these to the next big awards show or Hollywood event he attends, and the average person doesn’t go out with shades on at night.

No word on how much the glow in the dark sunglasses will cost yet, but regular Nooka Mercury Sunglasses – which come in neon colors as well as black and white – go for $130. Why do all these IEJ products always have such a hefty price tag? Save your pennies for something that makes more sense.

How Big Are Your Jewels? Trend Alert: Bigger is Better http://198.46.88.49/style/jewelry/how-big-are-your-accessories-trend-alert-bigger-is-better http://198.46.88.49/style/jewelry/how-big-are-your-accessories-trend-alert-bigger-is-better#respond Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:00:34 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=9850 When it comes to fashion bigger isn’t always better, but the same may not hold true for  accessories. Chunky chains and jewels have made quite a comeback over the last year or so, with many celebrities, designers and stylists all seen sporting the trend. We’ve seen roundups of runway inspired pieces {Style Bakery} and big rings {Fashion Bomb Daily} from some of our favorite blogs.

Spring/Summer 2010 Jewelry from Lanvin (L), Vera Wang (Center) and Dolce & Gabbana (R)

Whether you fancy long, bold necklaces or eye-catching rings, there is a statement piece with your name on it. Designers like Vera Wang, Lanvin and Dolce & Gabbana all sent their models down the catwalk with bold, yet beautiful and intricate, accessories for spring and the trend will continue for a few months. The clothes of FW2010 may have lost their rock chic edge in favor of minimalist silhouettes, but that can  offer the perfect backdrop to strong jewelry choices.
