Maybe it's squinting at screens all day and all night, but eyewear, glasses, spectacles are making their way as this seasons newest, hottest accessory, according to the Los Angeles Times.

And while it sued to be that the specs of choice were as near to invisible as possible, rimless nothings that you could barely see, some of today's top designers are making big, bold glasses from retro to to metro and everywhere in between. Tom Ford's Havana style features oversized, oval Tortise rims and weigh in at about $200 online. Prada features several styles that look straight out of a Fellini movie.

But if you're happy with your present set of specs, perhaps you might prefer curling up with a good book about eyewear. In that case, try leafing through designer Moss Lipow's Eyewear: A Visual History, from luxe book publisher Taschen. The coffee-table tome offers a history of eyewear, tips for taking care of yours and a walk through the author's spectacular spectacle collection.
