I cannot remember the last time I visited BBC weather London to find a series of five golden circles accompanied by a double digit figure, but yes people, the British summer is here and to celebrate I am going to be treating myself to a new pair of sunnies – check out the ones I’ve got my soon-to-be-shaded eyes on…
I am hearting the multi-coloured lenses with mirrored coatings from Carrera, the CRAZE model (available at asos) is modern and bold – ideal for channelling a bit of LA into LDN town. If you wore wayfarers last year and Ray Bans the year before that, these are the ones for you.
Be still my heart, sunnies don’t get much more banging than these babies. These Thierry Lasry Magnety Acetate sunglasses are to die for, the frames ooze sophistication whilst the pattern keeps it fun and flirtatious. This is the kind of pair I want to be wearing at the Blue Marlin in Ibiza.
These are the ultimate geek-chic vintage shades. Encompassing the understated, androgynous look this pair is quirky and fun – undoubtedly a girlinmenswear favourite. From the Oliver Peoples x Maison Kitsune collection, if you covet the style of Ms Chung and the Olsen twin-set then these are perfect shades to pair with your pianfore.
I don’t know if you’re picking up on the fact that eyewear is not exactly a subtle piece of apparel for me…no, no…the bigger, the bolder, the brasher, the better and what better way to protect your big-blues than these hand-crafted retro pair by the godfathers of eye wear Cutler and Gross. Large enough to make Lennon’s specs look minute these are the ultimate in statement eye wear.
AND finally, if you are more of a bespoke kinda gal and want an original pair of specs that you won’t see on every lass in town and for a very reasonable budget too, then pop down to Spitafields or Brixton Market and say hello to resident Auntie Aviator…she’s the best kept secret in prescription eyewear – trust.
