Celebrity Lamp: sunglasses for the home

It's hard to know how to feel about this lamp. On the one hand, it's made of something we really like -- aviators. On the other hand, that's a lot of perfectly good pairs of sunglasses to use on a lamp -- when they could be making someone look cool while also shading their eyes from the harsh rays of the sun. It's a bit of a conundrum.

One way to justify purchasing a lamp this outrageous is to remember one thing: while sunglasses might be one of the few accessories that men use to make a statement, furniture is another. Maybe you don't think much about what your furniture says about you, but other people do. A great lamp like this is a total conversation piece, plus it casts awesome shadows on your wall. Yeah, it's a pricey -- but it could really tie the room together.

We had a great weekend. We danced our butts off, sang our hearts out and probably had one too many beers at the Glow in the Dark tour in illy Philly on Saturday night. But as always, we were thinking of our dear reader's and before we went in to enjoy the likes of Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco (heart!), N.E.R.D. and the brilliant Kayne, we took a tour of tailgate heaven to see what's hot and what's not for concert gear this year.

Here is a breakdown of the ideal concert attire:

Stylin' sunglasses from Marc Jacobs

Finally there are designer sunglasses that are affordable and great looking. Marc Jacobs has a great line of sunglasses this season from his Marc by Marc Jacobs collection. Most of the glasses in the collection are only $90.

$90 may not sound like an "affordable" to some but to those who are into designer sunglasses, you know that you can easily shell out anywhere from $200-$500 for a pair of sunglasses. Give your wallet a break and grab a few pairs from Marc.

Some of personal favorites are the over-sized wrap glasses that have the MJ logo splattered all over. I also love the aviator lenses, the plastic ones above are great for a casual ensemble and these metal aviators have a swankier look about them. This funky rimless design even comes in a variety of colors -- a new pair for every outfit.

You can find these glasses at Marc by Marc Jacobs boutiques, Nordstrom, and other fine department stores. Or if get lucky like I did, you can score a pair at the Nordstrom Rack for a cool $64 ... gotta love discount shopping.

Styles that Stick: Aviator sunglasses

Invest in a pair of classic aviator shades and you will not have to worry about your protective eyewear going out of style. I remember a few years ago during the most recent surge in aviator popularity, I found a pair of my father's old aviators from the early '80s and I marveled at how the glasses still looked like they came straight from the latest fashion magazines. It's true: For the past three decades or so, aviator shades have happily coasted alongside the more fickle eye candy trends, from Tom Cruise's Risky Business Ray-Ban Wayfarers to Nicole Richie's bug-eyed super-shades.

The glasses were originally made by Ray-Ban for military pilots back in the 1930s. The style has since been a staple to the military and law enforcement wardrobe, but has also found wide popularity in the civilian public's everyday wear, most recently during the 2000s' retro obsession.

Honestly, one can never go wrong with these glasses. Hipster holy land Urban Outfitters carries plenty and, if you're willing to pay more, labels like Dior carry aviators too.
