SO SHADY

Vail-based Church and State Optics recently added sunglasses to its fashionable line of eyewear. The debut collection of Sunnies features classic shapes with modern, high-shine colors—think gold, silver, burgundy, and navy—and even some retro-influenced flourishes (like The Standard–Dita‘s pin-dot pattern, pictured above). The frames are already in heavy demand, so if your favorite model is sold out, make sure to sign up for the C and S wait list.

A HEADY FEELING

Calling all Philip Treacy and Stephen Jones wannabes: Boulder designer and milliner CarolAnn Wachter will be teaching a hat-making class during the month of June. Wachter—whose headwear (pictured, left) has sold at several U.S. boutiques, including Barneys New York—will demonstrate everything from how to create a basic pattern to special embellishing details. Look for another class to be offered later this summer at the Denver Design Incubator.

The details: $105, Common Threads, 2707 Spruce St., Boulder, commonthreadsboulder.com; June 11, 18, 25, 6–8:30 p.m., call 303-449-5431 to register.
