Diane Keaton Victim of Optical Crime →
Eye can’t believe that the actress Diane Keaton’s eyewear did not have anti-reflective coating. This optical crime happened on November 14, 2011 during her Today Show interview. She is wearing a flattering trendy frame but you can’t see her beautiful blue eyes due to all the light reflections.

Trend Watch: Three Favorite Flat Tops
This is a statement look for the year 2012, an aviator or wayfarer inspired shape (usually) with a flat browline. I love the way the French designers Anne et Valentin bring an elegance to the flat-shape in their optical style Factory 10, worn beautifully in the image above (www.anneetvalentin.com).
