Those big, white sunglasses are being replaced by darker framed styles, with black and tortoiseshell plastic holding the over-sized lenses in place. White glasses are attention-grabbing on their own, but a less assertive color needs a hint of sparkle to grab the spotlight. Bulgari's Parentheses Bling Sunglasses have the requisite large size in an attractive square cut and are adorned with Swarovski crystals at the temples. They are available in three colors: tortoise/brown lenses, black/gray, or eggplant/gray. The trim is gold on the tortoise frames and silver for both the black and eggplant. Price: $400.

The Bulgari special edition Flower Sunglasses hit all the hot sunglass style points of the moment. They have black acetate wrap-around frames, large lenses and are loaded with sparking Swarovski crystals. The flower detailing makes them unique in the bling department, since many other sunglass designs this season took a more abstract approach to their ornamentation. Variations on the theme include glasses without frames and colored frames, like the pair shown here in Bordeaux. The lens shades vary slightly with each color. To get a pair yourself, look for a retailer in your area.
