"It's 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses!...................HIT IT!!!"

Two addictions...the ombre effect found on Balenciaga's sumptuous shades...and the kind of over-sized sunglasses found on aging matrons in Miami Beach...

My latest fix? These vintage Ray Bans...swampy green...large enough to cover half my face...and $12 at a local resale shop...

* Today's quote...which, once again, was too long to credit in the title...is from The Blues Brothers...
