Shades of summer

TOP TO BOTTOM: Raen, Carrera, Chloé, Ray Ban

It should come as no surprise that sunglasses are my 'thing'. I prefer to be in them 24/7 as an excuse to waive the need for eye makeup and also grant the ability to settle into BRF mode (Re: this video) without fear of offending anyone.

With a view to expand my already vast collection, I'm tossing up between these summery trends. Clear frames are appearing everywhere right now, and since pink is inexplicably having a big revival, a pair of crystal candy-coloured frames topped with smoky purple lenses is starting to look very appealing to me. Mirror lenses are still going strong, so I wouldn't mind another pair. I'm also beginning to realise that tortoise shell is a summer staple, for when my favourite blacked out pairs seems somewhat overly sombre at the beach. And then there's the classic Ray Ban aviators. A modern rose-gold update seems too good to pass up.

You can never have too many pairs right?
