When it comes to sunglasses................................

.........The Bigger, the better


Jackie O, she was one of the major style icons of the 60's. When you think of Jackie O the first thing you remember is the glamourous oversized sunglasses she always featured. Her sunglasses were her trademark, women everywhere were soon to be seen wearing oversized sunglasses, in the daytime or night!

Jackie O

Today, oversized sunglasses are still as popular as ever, probably even more so with more influential celebs like Victoria Beckham and the Olsen twins being featured wearing them as the seasons must have staple accessory.

I love both Aviator and oversized sunglasses so I like to alternate between the styles depending on my mood.
I prefer the plastic sunglasses as opposed to the metal frames as I feel the plastic frames are softer on my face and more comfortable for me to wear.

Here's some of this seasons hottest oversized sunglasses that are available to buy now:-

 Alexander McQueen
Ooh, I love these! These round framed black sunglasses feature an unusual ridged edge detail around the sides, it reminds me a bit like a zip! I think these are simple, classic and the detailing will make them stand out. These are from the Mode de Vue boutique in Paris and are available to order via www.farfetch.com at £239, perhaps a little bit pricey, but ooh so worth it!

Victoria Beckham
"Flard Jackie O sunglasses", well we know where these frames took there inspiration from!
 The price tag for these beauties is not for the faint hearted................ these will set you back £325 and are available to order from www.netaporter.com

Balenciaga
These black plastic sunglasses are very Olsen Twin style. These will set you back £265 and are available to order via www.farfetch.com
 



Don't forget the High Street has a wealth of gorgeous sunglasses to choose from too. Often high street stores will try to mirror the design of there collections to model that of the designer styles so you don't need to pay designer prices for your sunglasses unless you really fall in love with something special.

Hot picks of the High Street

Topshop 
Oversized sunglasses at an undersized price of £12

ASOS

Remember, sunglasses aren't just a fashion accessory, they are there to protect your eyes so remember to ensure they have UV protection, trust me, not only will you look good, you will feel good!

New Year Neutrals

Spring 2011 will be seeing lots of neutral, earthy toned colours. Here I have picked out a selection of some of the best key neutral pieces that are available today:-


 Christian Louboutin pumps

 These pumps are yummy with the marble effect cream and toffee colours throughout them.

 Vintage Chanel bag

Chanel bags are a bit like Porsches, they always look classic and with age, they just get better. 

Who wouldn't want a vintage Chanel bag? This vintage Chanel bag is just beautiful. This bag oozes class and what makes it special is I bet it has a lovely story behind it, makes you wonder, who owned it, how old is it? Part of the fun is wondering.....

I do see Chanel bags as being investment pieces. The vintage bags are selling for more than the current bags so in years to come your Chanel bags will be worth more than you bought them for. I want to keep my Chanel bags forever though as it would be just too hard to part with my beautiful, classic bags!

Christian Louboutin wedges

 These cute wedges are the perfect addition to your spring/summer outfit. There's nothing fussy about these, the structure is simple, the tone is fresh and clean and the laces make them that little bit special.


BIBA butterfly hoop earrings

Hooped earrings have always been popular. Some styles of earrings are perhaps too dressy for day-time so what's perfect about these is that they will not look out of place for either your day-time look when shopping with friends or in the evening with your beaded mini dress.



Tom Ford avaitor sunglasses

Aviator shaped sunglasses don't suit all face-shapes so its always best to try on lots of different shapes, models to see what's firstly most comfortable on you and what suits your face shape. When searching for your perfect pair of sunglasses, you may want to take a friend along with you who can give you opinions when you try on lots of pairs. 
I have some Chanel and Prada aviator style sunglasses and love them on me and for this summer I was after a pair of Ray Ban classic aviators for a change. After trying the Ray Ban's on, I decided I didn't like them on me at all. I did however see these Tom Ford aviators and these were perfect on me! Just goes to show you really need to try on all sunglasses, it's no use saying I already have aviator styles so they'll all suit me as i'm afraid it doesn't always work out that way.
