SUNGLASSES: DAY TWENTY NINE

DAY TWENTY NINE: Black Clubmasters, Ray-Ban

Since this is the day before last, I figured it was time to get out the Clubmasters, a truly iconic pair of sunnies. I often think that I don’t look good in smaller frames but I love these, especially in classic black; I feel a bit like a female James Dean wearing them and the retro vibe works well in Rye, where I'm currently on a mini-break.

Worn with: Leopard print jacket, Topshop; Black striped tee, BDG; Denim shorts, Zara; Studded bag, Max C; Gold sandals, Topshop.

SUNGLASSES: DAY TWENTY ONE

DAY TWENTY ONE: Red Wayfarers, Ray-Ban

So, we’ve already established that I like to buy things in multiples, which can be an expensive habit. This pair of Wayfarers aren’t actually strictly mine, they were an accessory for one of the shots from the shoot and since I love my blue pair so much but I’m not allowed to wear them for a while, I figured this was a good compromise. They’re also part of the special edition range and have a really cool badge print on the inside. Yum.

Worn with: Grey vest, Illustrated People; Grey denim shorts, Zara; Black wellies, Hunter; Green military jacket, Da Nang; Yellow satchel, Asos. Headband, Festival vendor.

SUNGLASSES: DAY TWELVE

DAY TWELVE: Blue metallic aviators, Ray-Ban

I’d never realised just how many pairs of various aviators I own until I started this project. These are the newest additions to my collection, which were a gift from the Ray-Ban party on DAY THREE. Aren’t they just lovely?

I’m no longer contagious but am very, very pale after spending the last few days hibernating, working and lamenting my oversized tonsils (which I’m sure you’ll be delighted to know are now back to a normal-ish size) so here’s my awesome ant print tee from Issa for Matches as a nice summery background instead.

Worn with: Ant print tee, Issa 4 Matches at LFW; Grey denim shorts, Topshop; Navy and cream quilted ballet pumps, Office; Green military jacket, Da Nang; Leopard print scarf, Marks & Spencer; Yellow satchel bag, Asos.

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.

SUNGLASSES: DAY THREE

DAY THREE: Blue Wayfarers with NYC Subway print arms (Special series), Ray-Ban

In honour of the Ray-Ban Aviator party tonight, I thought it only right to represent and wear some Ray-Bans today. Since the large gold Aviators that I lust after are not yet part of my collection some lovely, shiny blue Wayfarers will be taking their place proudly on the bridge of my nose. These beauties from the spring/summer limited edition collection are awesome with a capital A as they have the New York subway map printed inside; when I got them, it was very much love at first sight and they have very rarely left my face/hair since. I kid you not, I’ve never had so many compliments, comments and requests to try them for a pair of sunglasses that I’ve owned.

If blue isn’t your colour, the range also comes in some other lovely bright Pantone colours as well as more subtle black and white. I’m giving serious thought to a black pair with floral print inside. Yum.

Worn with: Black skinny jeans, Topshop; Black and cream striped tee, BDG; Green military jacket, Da Nang; Yellow satchel, Asos; Pewter woven pumps, Topshop.
