I have a new obsession -- big round sunglasses. It all started after I saw the amazingly quirky film, The Brothers Bloom. First of all, it was one of the best movies I have seen in a while. Not only did the plot and acting captivate me, the fashion drew me in as well. The characters Penelope Stamp, played by Rachel Weisz, and Bang Bang, played by Rinko Kikuchi, both had wardrobes I would kill for. Penelope was innocent and demure in her stylish dresses, black tights, and interesting coats. Bang Bang was simply a badass. She had an outfit to fit every occasion. The item she wore that I coveted the most was, of course, her sunglasses. I found similar ones on the Free People website and bought them immediately. And recently, I discovered Jenny Lewis' new video for "See Fernando," in which she plays a spy and also wears big round sunglasses! So obviously, I'm in good company. These sunglasses were made for con-women and spies. Which one will I be?
