Help Me Out, Folks

Okay, recently I started myself on a little bit of health challenge. I'm a big guy, as I've mentioned before, and have been working pretty hard (and successfully) to change that. Still, I found myself in a rut, so I started a blog to challenge myself.
In those challenges, I set myself up with an attainable goal, a reward if I obtain that goal, and a consequence if I don't. It's really kind of cool, as I've never done something quite like this.
Right now I have a weekly goal of losing 2 lbs by Wednesday. My reward if I make it (and I believe that I will) is a pair of sunglasses. Not just any sunglasses, no. That would be boring. I want something to go with my hair, something that says "I see the world in a different light."
I want rose-colored glasses. Red, rose, whatever.
The only ones I can find are plastic, ugly frames, or not red. What I want are metal frames, with a shape similar to the glasses I wear on a day-to-day basis:

I'm looking for that or similar, as a pair of sunglasses, with colored lenses. Is this possible? Can you help me find it?
If not, I'll probably have to change my reward for losing weight, but I have no idea what I would change it to. I really, for some reason, want rose-colored sunglasses. Is that weird?

And I'm up to page 14 on Google Shopping so I'm done. Hope that helped a little bit.
