The sun’s out, you’re sitting by the pool, you’ve got your Kindle out (or you’re keeping it old school with a book). What’s missing? A pair of super fun readers to match the moment. Don’t be afraid to get a little more wild with it! The newest collab from Anthropologie and I-SEA features three different colors of checked frame, in pistachio, pink and red, and tan. Tortoiseshell gets a summery update when you mix it with color blocked sage green and brown in these Peepers frames.
If you want to match the vibe with your beach read, Next to Heaven by James Frey is the book for you. A sext, steamy book about the misdeeds of the rich and fabulous in New Bethlehem, Connecticut, I devoured it in a day and a half.
Maybe you’re looking for something a little more intellectual? Keep it classic with a pair of chunky tortoiseshell frames, befitting a magazine editor or art gallerist. And speaking of editors, pair it with Graydon Carter’s When The Going Was Good. It’s a delightful, dishy memoir about the life and career of one of our last great editors – and the expense account to match.
I’ve read every single one of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s books. They’re all fun, soapy books about (fictional) famous women, and her newest follows that formula. Atmosphere is about a female astronaut in the 1980s and the mission that all goes wrong. Get a pair of aviators to match the cover, like this I-SEA pair or CADDIS’s always-cool pink and rose gold aviators.
