"  Photo: Westward Leaning Sunglasses brand Westward Leaning has tapped fashion darling Olivia Palermo  to collaborate on a new line of sunglasses. The sunglasses brand, a recent Silicon Valley upstart with a charitable component, has quickly become every fashion editor&amp;#039;s favorite pair shades. Those reflective lenses everyone&amp;#039;s been wearing for the past three years? Blame Westward Leaning.  Last night, Palermo celebrated the new collab with a dinner in New York City&amp;#039;s Flatiron District. She tells me she feels Westward Leaning is the one sunglasses brand that can work stylishly in any situation.   Photo: Westward Leaning &amp;quot;When you go to each city, you kind of have to adapt to the environment and the style,&amp;quot; Palermo says. &amp;quot;In Paris, I tend to go for a darker, more fashion forward style and during the summer it&amp;#039;s fun to play with more of the neon colors and lenses and I still find them really fresh. [For this collaboration] we have been playing with colors and want to make them as versatile as possible.&amp;quot;  Photo: Westward Leaning One thing Palermo won&amp;#039;t adapt to? The &amp;quot;ugly&amp;quot; footwear trend. When I ask &amp;quot;Would you rather: Tevas or Crocs?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Neither! Ever!&amp;quot; she gasps. &amp;quot;Ok, what about a Birkenstock?&amp;quot; I prod. &amp;quot;Not those either. They are in the same category, they are equally as ugly.&amp;quot; So that settles that. Personally, I love a Birkenstock, so we&amp;#039;re just going to have to agree to disagree on footwear. We&amp;#039;re in total agreement on eyewear though.
