Summer Style | Summer Shades #Sunnies

I mentioned these already in my Summer Essentials (if you haven't read it yet tut tut, it's right here); Sunglasses are the epitome of summer style. They protect your peepers from the harmful UV rays and they just make everyone so much cooler. So finally with the weather getting warmer and sunnier! It is at long last #SunniesWeather
So … I have really got into my sunglasses as of late; I have been perusing the virtual and real world for the perfect pair of shades.
Here are my top shades from the spectrum of sunglasses - from the bank breaking to the budget!

Black Ray-Bans, you know she’s with the band (Katy Perry's song International Smile, listen to it here)
My absolute favorites are these Ray-Bans. They are absolutely STUNNING! The quality is second to none. They are so on point with the traditional Wayfarer frames but I love the twist of the slimmer sides. I think these are a cool alternative to the standard Wayfarer that everyone will be wearing this summer. They are perfect and versatile for any occasion: the matt black frames will easily carry you from formal to festival! I think the Wayfarer frames are the most flattering shades style, no matter your face shape. And above all they are tremendously comfortable to wear. Check them out here.

Burtons have a stellar selection of shades both in-store and online. Here are my two favourite picks from Burtons. Tortoiseshell Clubmaster Sunglasses; these are classic clubmaster sunglasses with tortoiseshell frame. I think these going to be quite trendy this summer. They are reminiscent of the Wayfarer but are a touch more quirky. I also adore the tortoiseshell frames; which is flattering on pale to tanned skin tones. My second pick is the Orange Lens Half Rim Aviator; these thin classic aviators are so rocking summer style with these reflective tonal orange lens! You’ll definitely stand out with a pair of these. All Burtons sunglasses come with a protective microfiber pouch to keep them safe.

Now to the most affordable of all shades! Penney’s (aka Primark in the UK) have a great affordable medley of shades from as little as €1.50! My faves are the Wayfarer with tortoiseshell frames and the standard Aviators but also the Aviators with the reflective blue lenses. There is a huge assortment of frames, styles, colours and prints of Penney’s sunnies. Go on; you can check them out here and have a good old browse, but they have a ton more in-store.

So wherever are you headed this summer make sure you are sorted in the sunnies department!

Bon voyage avec vos lunettes de soleil!
