Girls with less than perfect vision have one up on those with 20/20 -- they've got an accessory that, these days, couldn't be cuter (and who knows, perhaps with our generation's reliance on the right-there commodity of the computer screen, maybe no one will be without a pair of eyeglasses one day). With designer names that have now perfected the eyewear industry, a pair of glasses has more of a jewelry-like allure than the more practical advantage of sight. Yes, many glasses-wearers prefer the non-accessory route of contacts and only keep a pair around for lazy days. But near and far-sighted girls alike should embrace the freedom their four-eyes give them with the right to style themselves silly. And you can achieve more than just the "smart" look. Mundane becomes mysterious, clever becomes classy, and wholesome becomes haute with the simple change of face eyeglasses provide. Different shapes, materials and designs make shopping for a pair of specs more like shopping for a pair of shoes, and the ways they can play up an outfit are endless. Give people another reason to look into those beautiful eyes of yours and highlight them with some luxury frameworked flare. Nay shall anyone wearing glasses these days be considered a nerd but rather envied for sporting and styling some much-admired eye accents! See the slideshow and become enamored with some savvy-looking spectacles!

There's at least one in every group -- the girl who loves all things designer. Maybe it's you, or maybe there's more than one fashionista in your pack of friends, but no matter how many pals you have with high-end taste, you can't simply afford to break the bank for a bunch of big-name big purchases in the midst of gift-shopping mayhem. The solution isn't always to go the Forever 21 route (though as a bargain shopper I'm always a fan) -- you'd be surprised how many cute holiday-friendly designer trinkets you can get for under $200! For example, this cute heart key ring may come in a blue Tiffany box, but it really doesn't cost an arm and a leg! And cozy winter-festive gifts like these Michael Kors gloves and these adorable Burberry earmuffs prove that designer names can be practical for the season and aren't just for show! Browse through the slideshow for 10 gift ideas that could make even Anna Wintour smile!
