It’s been a long time coming, but we of the weak eyes are finally getting our due.

It started on the runway: Natasha Poly looked sexy with her chignon and frames walking Michael Kors for Fall 08, and then Charles Anastase accented his sweet but sexy Spring 09 collection with black glasses.

Now they’ve gained real momentum. Terry Richardson (whose big frames we love) hilariously chronicled Lily Donaldson’s visit to the eye doctor (a process that ends in the always uncomfortable eye drops that we are all too familiar with) for US Vogue and the new Dolce & Gabbana and D&G ads include shots of bespectacled models.

Apart from advertisements for their actual glasses collections, this is the first we can remember them being used so very prominently in fashion advertisements. And boy, did pictures of Justin in those black frames at the CFDAs get our hearts pumping.

There are some serious fashion idols that rocked frames (Yves Saint Laurent and Iris Apfel come to mind) but now glasses have become a versatile accessory, and even our friends with 20/20 are joining in.

Those of us who suffered through elementary, middle and high school embarrassment eventually coming to self-acceptance and love of our glasses, felt a little bitter at first towards those who just threw on the frames now that it was cool. But ultimately, we feel rather proud that glasses are being embraced.

Alexa Chung is quickly taking over as the number one girl about town since her move to NYC from London.

From TV hosting to DJing to extremely prolific Tweeting, the girl is everywhere - not that we mind at all.

And now she’s starring in Wren’s holiday lookbook along with her buddy, drummer Tennessee Thomas from The Like.

The girls couldn’t look cuter in the party frocks and what we like even more is that we’re certain they’ll actually be wearing them out on the town. Alexa wore Wren last night to the CFDAs and to the Men.Style.com party last week.

You know how we love seeing like-minded fashion people come together for projects that actually make sense.
