Remix

Wearing: Asos button down, Topshop sweater, Asos jeans (distressed by me), 

Somewhere Sunday sunglasses via Alekka, River Island loafers (old)

After a winter full of wearing turtlenecks and jeans on repeat, I began to grow tiresome of my established said uniform. I like to think it as a sartorial version of cabin fever? As the core pieces don't exactly change, little things like layering a collared shirt underneath or ditching the boots once makes somewhat of a difference. 

My preferred option of spicing up threads, is not threads itself, but sunglasses. If the suns out- scratch that- when it's not raining, you bet a bottom dollar that you'll find sunglasses glued to my face. If I'm not wearing my trusty aviators (or my sailing shades via Kaenon), I will be in mirrored frames. Despite, having other mirrored aviators, these futuristic glasses take the cake. (plus, Back to the Future slash mad scientist vibes are real).

Circle Shades

The round eyewear that became known thanks to the plethora of 60s hippies and one Beatle. Normally not a fan of futuristic fashion that replicates strong Zeon: Girl of the 21st Century vibes, but it is certainly a refreshing change from classic aviators.

I'm not the first to admit that I'd rather not be bug eyed when the sun is shining, yet something about the modern shades, especially when paired with classics- takes norm core to the next planet (see what I did there?)  As for someone who is immensely inspired by the 60s, a simple lens might be more everyday where for me compared to your space age pick. 

Never the less, maybe I've come to be all about the Bug's Life meets E.T. for my eyewear. Or maybe I just have watched way too many movies...

Future of Eyes

Is it Year 3000? Nope, not yet. 

But with the fancy techy lenses from DVF | Made For Glass, you can pretty much do everything that you currently do with your phone. Take a photo/video, make a call, social media updates... you name it, you can do it. And with a stylish twist courtesy of DVF. Cool, no?  Because these glasses are the new Vertu (the crazy expensive phone), of the eyewear world the price is tag is up in the clouds. A girl can dream though.

Until we all are walking around with Google glasses, lets just stick to über rad shades under $200. Sounds good? Shop some below:
