A Guide to the Best of Southern California : FASHION : Day for Night

JEWELRY DESIGNER Barbara Groeger says that women don’t take off their earrings when they enter a room, so why then should they take off their sunglasses? Her frames are hand-paveed with Austrian lead-crystal and come in more than 25 styles and colors (from $180 to $450): heart-stopping red Harlequins, crystal cat eyes and stunning rhinestone-effect rounds, among them.

Sunglasses by Barbara Groeger at D.P. Accessories are available at l.a. Eyeworks, 7407 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles; (213) 653-8255.
