It’s summer so I’ll definitely be spending some time in LA. I don’t particularly care for sunglasses, but I will definitely have a few pairs of these to take with me.
I'll be by the pool listening to Les Baxter in these tiki bamboo frames!
Great women's frames
These are my favorite!

Rebellious youth, loud jazz, sex, drugs, and cigarettes! Let’s jive Daddy-O! Opening credits from Edmond T Gréville’s 1960 British film “Beat Girl”. Gillian Hills is SMOKING in this clip!
Beat poet William Pryor had some amazing photos of him and his friends running around Europe in the 1960’s. They are definitely very cool.
I love the bidet
The Euro-Invasion was also full blown with French teen pop singers like Francoise Hardy and France Gall.
