And we thought the Oscars were all about celebrating last year!

Turns out, there was also a peek into the FUTURE!

Google co-founder Sergey Brin and his wife Anne Wojcicki decided to give the computerized eyewear known as Google Glass a test run as they hobnobbed with Hollywood's elite!

And boy did they get noticed!

The sleek glasses are a prototype of next year's smart specs, glasses that come complete with voice command, video recorder, and even heads-up display!

We're just one step closer to Hollywood science fiction becoming retail reality!

You can get your own glimpse at the future of eyewear …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

What do you get when you mix fashion, Tory Burch and the Michael J. Fox Foundation?

An amazing opportunity to help raise funds for Parkinson's research, that's what!

For the month of April, the designer has pledged to donate 20% of sales from select orange items to the actor's foundation. Those items include the Robinson Chain Mini Bag ($365), Simone Cardigan ($225), Robinson Coin Case ($95) and the Aaden Flats ($250).

Tory said was more than happy to help out such a worthy cause:

“It’s an honor to partner with the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Michael’s optimism and determination are truly an inspiration, and we are thrilled to help in our own small way.”

Michael jokingly added:

“It doesn’t hurt that we both love orange”

And so do we!

As if that wasn’t enough incentive to purchase, Google's co-founder Sergey Brin and his wife Anne Wojcicki will match every dollar raised by the sale until the end of the year.

Wow!

All of the items mention can be purchased at toryburch.com or the Madison Avenue store in New York City.
