Do you feel it in your fingers, feel it in your toes? That's right, love is all around in summer street fashion, and seen in the form of heart-shaped sunglasses. Channeling Stanley Kubrick's Lolita (1962), many ladies are taking on the iconic poster with a certain wit, wearing the plastic frames in red or white, with a jokester-romantic look that says, "love at first sight." Part 99-cent store party favor, part cartoon, the sunglasses are both fun and humbling, canceling out any seriousness to an outfit. We're sure the Humbert Humbert's of the world will still feel the shady love.

What a great accessory to have back in style. Kudos to the author for noticing!
Ooh, so refreshing to see Kubrick's influence on a trend that doesn't include codpieces!
Making sweet a little sexy! Way to go Ms. Hoffman on picking up on a trend that's sure to be huge! These glasses are adorable, and will certainly bring out the Lolita in any person daring to wear them. It's amazing the influence Kubrick has had in fashion, still waiting for a 2001: A Space Odyssey inspiration, but I'm sure you, Ms. Hoffman, will be the first to pick up on it!
