SUNGLASSES: DAY TWENTY THREE

DAY TWENTY THREE: Light tortoiseshell aviators, Carrera

Sorry for once again posting so late, I fell asleep after dinner. Do these look familiar to you? If you’ve been following 30 Days from the start, probably as these are the same as DAY EIGHT but they’re a really light, almost red tortoiseshell instead of dark frames like the previous pair. Unfortunately the light in this photo doesn’t really do them justice but as my nose currently resembles something out of a horror movie I figured this manner of shooting was much kinder!

These are my new-er pair of the two and when I was selecting them, I err-ed and aahed about whether to get another almost identical pair or change it up. But again, I figure if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Worn with: Blue skinny jeans, Miss Selfridge; White spine print tee, Hannah Marshall 4 Matches at LFW; Green snakeskin-print scarf, Deena & Ozzy; Green military jacket, Da Nang; Yellow satchel, Asos; Blue espadrilles, Penelope Chilvers.

SUNGLASSES: DAY TWENTY

DAY TWENTY: Yellow retro aviators, Jeepers Peepers

This is a look that I like to refer to as Feral Hippy. This is what happens when I go to festivals, particularly around lunchtime of the second day. I start to smell and suddenly find headbands really, really appealing.

You may remember my other yellow sunglasses and think that these look familiar; well, that’s because these are also by Jeepers Peepers who make really cool retro styles of sunnies.

Worn with: Grey vest dress, H&M; Grey denim shorts, Zara; Studded belt, Gap; UFO scarf, Unique; Green military jacket, Da Nang; Black wellies, Hunter; Gold pochette bag, Celia Birtwell for John Lewis; Floral headband, Festival vendor.

SUNGLASSES: DAY FIFTEEN

DAY FIFTEEN: Grey clear aviators, Calvin Klein

Okay, this experiment is proving one thing to me - I own a LOT of pairs of aviators. These are pretty new to the collection, I got them a few weeks ago and I’ve become quite fond of them very quickly. I was a bit skeptical when I was picking them out but I figured rather than going for fail-safe black, I would branch out into clear grey. Living wild, that’s me.

Worn with: Denim shirt dress, Primark; Black leggings, Topshop; Nude pumps, Topshop; Green military jacket, Da Nang; Yellow satchel, Asos.

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.
