Tracy Reese Weighs in on the Trayvon Martin Case: Like most of the country, the designer is outraged at the shooting of the innocent, unarmed teenage boy. She talked to Huffington Post's Black Voices about the matter, articulating her views on the troubling assumption in our society that People of Color are always up to no good:" The whole thing is just so sad, and the excuses are so lame... White people wear hoodies too," she said. "It's so sad that people want to be in fear of you just because you're a young man of color." Couldn't have said it better, Ms. Reese. {Huffington Post} Vogue UK Editor-in-Chief Alexandra Shulman Releases Her First Novel: It seems every writer, journalist, or editor has a secret dream of publishing a novel, and we're happy to see that Alexandra Shulman is one of the few who have made it a reality. Can We Still be Friends, is the story of three friends fresh from college, trying to figure out post grad life in Eighties London. Expect the novel in stores April 19. {Vogue UK} Fashion People Show off Their Tats: Refinery 29 rounded up a group of fashion notables (including jewelry designer Pamela Love and our very own Hayley Phelan) tell us the stories behind their ink. {Refinery 29}

The sunglasses that went down the spring runways were anything but boring. Labels like Prada, Dior, and Jil Sander showed colorful, eccentric shades that were out of this world. We've rounded up a mix of cool cat eye, retro, and '60s-style sunnies that anyone can pull off as things brighten up.

We're Fashionista. Of course we like sunglasses. But this year, it seems to be the accessory of choice: The Thing everything wants to get their hands on. Who cares if they're from The Row or Target? As long as they look good, we're happy. So we've rounded up the season's best. We'll be following up later today with a few longer features on the world of sunnies, so stay tuned. **All graphics by Steff Yotka.

Shield Your Eyes: This slideshow of ugly jeans will probably make you feel sick. It's unbelievable what designs exist. {Refinery 29} Shades to Die For: New sunglasses line Illesteva seeks to produce the illest shades ever. Their campaign models are old men from Miami. It's unclear what definition of "ill" they're going for. {Style.com} Summer Love: Behati and her real life boyfriend, Jamie Strachan, get intimate for the summer issue of i-D. It's steamy, sexy, and probably NSFW. {Fashion Gone Rogue} Tyra Does McQueen: Tyra created a tribute spread to Lee McQueen in her online magazine. It features André Leon Talley, and Tyra, of course. {Tyra.com}
