If I were you, I'd look for frames with lenses less than 50mm wide. With a correction as strong as yours, the frames with wide lenses are going to be pretty thick, even if you order high-index lenses.
My correction is -7.00 and -7.50. I ordered these from Zenni: http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/product.php?productid=103&cat=0&page=1 , with mid-index lenses and they're not very thick at all. I know they're not that high-fashion look that you're going for, but keep in mind that the narrower the lenses the less they'll look like coke bottles.
