Cover Your Eyes

I’m often asked to find accessories for clients and shoots and at this time of the year it’s all about sunglasses. Expensive designer glasses may look fabulous but they often cost quite a bit and given the tendency of small accessories to mysteriously vanish or get damaged on shoots I’ve been looking for brilliant budget friendly alternatives.

The hottest styles this summer are the 80’s style Rayban wayfarers and big, round circular styles haven’t gone anywhere. Best of all- you need not look far on the high street to find them!


These two options from Topshop (right) are a (www.topshop.com) are a steal at £15. These circular sunnies are very similar to the stunning circular styles of and Oliver Peoples as worn here by Kate Beckinsale (left) and Tom Ford’s stunning circular designs (www.net-a-porter.com & www.my-wardrobe.com). Topshop also hits the fashion spot with these bright 80’s style pair. Why choose? At that price buy both!

The 80’s may be big right now but an alternative trend is slipping into the mix- 50’s style. Stay one step ahead in these retro glasses from new look (www.newlook.com). Teamed with strips and red lipstick a glamorous look is guaranteed. Alternatively go down the vintage route for real retro. Check out www.vintageclobber.com and www.myvintage.co.uk for some random unique styles and www.giantvintage.com for a choice of hundreds!

ASOS (www.asos.com) has again come up shinning with its vast selection of sunnies- including these men’s retro tortoiseshell pair (right) which I personally think are dead ringers for this pair by Modern Amusement (left) www.modernamusement.com) as seen here on Justin Timberlake (above left).



And for me personally? I am really loving these beauties from www.asos.com (below). Cheap, chic and cheerful. So happy shopping and fingers crossed the sun actually shines for our new sunnies ;)
