Spring Eyewear.

Spring is in the air (kinda!) and with that comes the sun... I have always been a huge fan of sunglasses. I seem to have collected a variety of different pairs throughout the years. So, by special request from my best friend, here is a post dedicated to one of my favorite accessories: sunglasses.


The trend in sunglasses for spring are plastic, colored frames. I'm loving this because they add color to any outfit. A few of my favorites:

House of Harlow 1960 - Nicole $125

Karen Walker - Rover $180

Marc by Marc Jacobs - Oversized $98

Mosley Tribes - Hayes Aviator $210

Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony - Flared Daring $365

Not into the colored, flashy frames? Stick to the classics. Some gorgeous spring sunglasses:

Oliver Peoples - Daddy B $325

Tory Burch - Logo Aviator $149

Phillip Lim - Dwayne $225

Carrera - Andy $98

Or you could always go for my all-time favorite, Ray-bans:

NEW RELEASE Ray-bans - RB147 $129

NEW RELEASE Ray-bans - RB8307  $189

Original Wayfarer - RB2140 $145

Classic Aviator - RB3044 $99

And finally, for some more affordable ways to either wear the trends or stick to the classics:

Aldo - $12

Forever21 - $5.80

Forever21 - $5.80

Charlotte Russe - $5.00

Some fun facts:

• Sunglasses were first used in China as tinting for judges in court to conceal their eyes
• Ray-ban invited the anti-glare aviator in 1936
• Sunglasses became fashionable in the 1960's in an ad campaign for Foster Grant, a comb and glass firm

What are your favorites? Do you love sunglasses as much as I do?

And some more affordable ways to wear this trend:

Retro Watches.

I've always been a fan of vintage, especially vintage accessories, which is why the new retro watch trend is so exciting!


What's even more exciting is that they greatly range in price... from super cheap to designer ones.


Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Nixon Time Teller PU - $110

2. Marc Jacobs Pelly Watch - $20

3. Timex Classic Watches - $26 & u

4. Casio Casual Classic Watch - $21

5. Nixon Vega Watch - $60

6. Rumba Time Broadway Slap Watch - $20

And the winner for me was the Nixon Vega watch in brown tortoise...

Sorry for the poor picture quality... didn't have good lighting at the time!


What do you think? Loving the retro watches?


It must be cool if Justin Bieber wears one... right?
