Wow, it's been a while since I've posted on my blog :( Unfortunately being sick and busy at work doesn't make it very easy... But as I keep saying, summer is on the way, and each day gets a little warmer! Episode Two of my festival series introduces yet another must-have item for our awesome Cape Town music fests... Sunnies!
Retro shapes of all sorts seems to be here to stay, whether its aviators you love or the massive half-face-covering sunnies you adore, anything seems to be going this summer.
One style, however, is definitely dominating the scene this spring:
The Cat Eye Sunglasses
Mainly popular due to their stick-out style of being flared out where the arms join the main frame, these babies havent changed much from the 50's and 60's when they were most popular, however there are a few renditions of this style for the less-daring cat eye lover...
I absolutely love this style! It's elegant, alluring, nostalgic and will definately get one noticed in a crowd!
Below are my favourite pair are from Miu Miu (oh of course!) I love how the cat eye style is very softly represented here and wont be too striking or heavy on the face:
Some others from Miu Miu (Go to their site now!! Best eyewear for Summer 2011 ever!)
I think the main thing in terms of eyewear this summer is to have fun with new trends and to be a bit more daring with your choices :)
