CHESNEY SINGS FOR THE SEA
Country singer Kenny Chesney, who recently topped the charts with “‘Til It’s Gone” and the Grammy-nominated multiple week #1 “American Kids” from his new Big Revival album, teams with Costa for another series of limited edition sunglasses to benefit the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA). This year’s five styles arrive just in time for Chesney’s Big Revival 2015 Summer Tour, hitting the road and 23 stadiums before the end of August.
The five sunglass styles in the limited edition line include Cut, Caballito, and KC, as well as two new styles for 2015, La Mar and Loreto.
Each of the sunglasses comes with a free gift pack that includes a custom hat, cleaning cloth, and sunglass case. All the kit’s components feature bold colors inspired by the painted school bus featured in Chesney’s “American Kids” video. A portion of the proceeds generated from the Kenny Chesney Costa sunglasses will directly benefit the CCA in its reef restoration and coastal rebuilding efforts. So far, the program has raised more than $119,000 for the CCA. (http://bit.ly/kennycostayt)

CITY STYLE
Mykita’s models Mulberry and Orchard echo the bohemian spectacle of 1960s New York. Mulberry quotes the bewitching elegance, and mischievousness, of Audrey Hepburn in the legendary film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Male counterpart Orchard, named after Orchard Street in New York’s Lower East Side neighborhood, is a throwback to the post-war cool jazz era. With a distinctive matte finish, tapered sides, and iconic shapes, Mulberry and Orchard both make an effortless statement.
