When I was in elementary school, I faked an eye exam because I really wanted glasses. Less than a week later, I admitted I couldn't actually see through the cute Coach frames I'd picked out (they had little hearts on the sides), and we quickly returned them. Both of my parents have worn glasses for as long as I can remember, so I'm sure there was some connection there.

All these years later, I still love eyewear. I've always been a sunglasses person and can't leave the house without them. Whenever I forget them, I insistently remark, "I wish I had sunglasses." Lately, I've been wearing my now-sold-out bug-eye Chimi Giadas every single day, and I also have the sportier Split. My dream additions to my collection are from Celine, Chanel, Khaite x Oliver Peoples, and Prada.

For eyeglasses, I sometimes wear the Baby frames in black from Bonnie Clyde that got extremely popular a few seasons ago, and I've also been trying out The Meg from Jimmy Fairly. I stopped by Miu Miu's SoHo store in New York to try on the best-selling oval eyeglasses every fashion person knows and loves, and more recently, I visited the Akila store in Silver Lake during a trip to L.A. to see how Zoë Kravitz's go-to Alien frames looked on me. Now, I want a pair. Shop these and more below.
