Bob Burnquist - Eco awesomeness

Check out this new collaboration between Oakley and pro skateboarder Bob Burnquist.  Officially called the Bob Burnquist Signature Series Recycled Fuel Cell, it's the fifth word and the philosophy behind it that make this frame worth talking about.  With a frame made from excess material that normally goes to waste and accents made of renewable bamboo, this Fuel Cell allows you to look great and show respect to the planet at the same time.  And if you don't know who Bob Burnquist is, check out his short film, Dreamland.

EDA Eyewear: Color, color, and more color

If you were one of those kids that always wanted that big box of Crayola crayons, then you may want to pay attention to EDA Eyewear.  They're based in Oregon and have some very exciting styles in the works, including frames made from wood and animal horn.  For now, check out some of their plastic frames.

My new favorite Rayban

It's called the Justin, and in this particular color, it looks nothing short of awesome.  The overall shape borrows heavily from the Wayfarer, though slightly larger and with more angular lines.  The rubberized material has a translucent finish, allowing for that glow that you see in the pictures.  If you're looking for something a little different, this very well may be it.
