SUNGLASSES: DAY EIGHTEEN

DAY EIGHTEEN: Black and multicolour polka dot heart sunglasses, New Look

Right, we’re back! Sorry for the disruption, there was the not-so-little matter of shooting a fashion story at the Isle of Wight festival and the fact that my phone decided to give up all notions of being useful. I could barely make calls, let alone post. 

Anyway, Day 18 sees yet another pair of heart shaped sunnies, this time black with polka dots. I got these last summer from New Look, so they weren’t particularly expensive but they’re pretty awesome.

Worn with: Blue skinny jeans, Miss Selfridge; Red and white striped vest, New Look; Navy studded cardigan, gIVE; Yellow satchel, Asos; Cream and navy quilted pumps, Office. 

SUNGLASSES: DAY ELEVEN

DAY ELEVEN: Cream heart sunglasses, Topshop

It’s safe to say that when I like something, I buy it in multiples. I bought these a few years back when I went into Topshop to buy the red pair from DAY FOUR but they were sold out at the time, so I picked up the cream ones instead. You can’t see it in this photo but this pair has mirrored brown lenses and the arms are actually cream and yellow stripes which is a nice detail. I’ve had quite a few friends try to ‘borrow’ them over the years but somehow, I’ve managed to keep hold of them. Just.

As you can see from the photo and the lack of face, I’m still quarantined so I’ve been using the great outdoors as my background for the last few days - today’s sunglasses are shot in our Lavender bush and dear lord, did I have to fight off a lot of bees to take this photo. From tomorrow, I’m officially no longer contagious so my face may well return. Let me know which you prefer, though I’m guessing the flowers will win it.

Worn with: Cream trackpants, Abercrombie & Fitch*; Grey tee, Abercrombie & Fitch*; Silver slippers, Ugg; Grey sweatshirt, Gap; Big black scarf, Unknown.

* - yes, I know I’m wearing A&F, consider this further proof of my illness.

SUNGLASSES: DAY FOUR

DAY FOUR: Red Heart Sunglasses, Topshop

I know it’s not really very warm or sunny today but my tired eyes still needed some sunnies today after last night’s Ray-Ban party (more on that after the jump) so I picked this heart shaped pair from Topshop. I own these in a couple of different colourways from various places as they’re a little piece of fun in an otherwise conventional outfit and I like a little referencing to Lolita when I’m feeling too old and weary. I picked my red pair to break up my otherwise monochrome pirate-meets-parisian look today. I’m heading to an SATC2 screening tonight as well so I figure these - along with some sequin shorts - can be my attempt at ‘fabulous’, as instructed on the invite.

Worn with: Striped top, Day Birger et Mikkelson; Black jeans, Topshop; Silver necklace, Phase Eight; Black quilted pumps, Office; Black jacket, Topshop; Yellow satchel, Asos.
