Stella McCartney Sunglasses

I think the most interesting aspect of the new Stella McCartney sunglasses is that they're made from "a bio acetate plastic...that is made from 54% natural sources.". It's not something I've seen a lot of in the manufacture of designer glasses and frankly, I would like to see it more. 

That said, the designs themselves aren't exactly ground breaking. That's not to say I don't like them, it's just that they're the classic sort of design that you could probably order pretty safely online and not be too worried about them not suiting you. It's a shame this fashionable foray isn't a little more...fascinating, but I guess there's no harm in investing in a timeless style made by one of the best. 


More unique among the bunch - the fun tortoiseshell print in the Retro Sunglasses

My Favourite: The Cat Eye Sunglasses

Sunglasses Lust: Karen Walker Number One in Crazy Tortoise

Okay, so I haven't exactly picked an original frame here, but I have been OBSESSED with Karen Walker's Number One frame in Crazy Tortoise for years. They're classic with a modern twist, perfect for so many face shapes, a flattering, goes-with-anything tortoiseshell and they just put the biggest smile on my face. These are my dream sunglasses for summer!
