The Times predicts that black veils, shown in several editorials this year, "should be street-style fodder" come spring. So, all you attention-seekers eager for recognition from street style bloggers, consider yourselves unshackled from your designer sunglasses and even most of your makeup! Imagine how much time you'll save by just wrapping a piece of tissue around your face in the morning instead of fiddling with eyeliner and mascara. Compromised eyesight is really a small price to pay for Internet stardom. (Unless you're going Carine's route, shown here, in which case you've got other things to worry about, like talking.)
