Oh Sun Don't Shine in my Eyes

The sun has been out here in Europe. And when I say she has been out, she has really been out. I got my tan on, as well as plenty of other people in London who were all getting prepped up for the Olympics.

But my dear eyes, need to be protected. Yes, they do. Don't go shady and wear cheap glasses from the market, as they will not have the protection in the glass itself which you do need to prevent damage.

My favourites of 2012? The Prada baroque (ns27) glasses. Still need to treat myself to a pair though!

(Cheaper) alternatives that will also make you look uber-glam, whilst you tan (yes, that rhymes!), are some that I have selected from ASOS:

Oversized 70s Sunglasses With Filgree Arm Detail

Cat Eye Sunglasses with Contrast Highbrow

Get Your Sports On

Call it the Olympic Fever or that the return of colour and print calls for a fuss-free modern silhouette, but sporty features are in the air. Marc Jacobs and Thomas Tait sent out luxury sweat shirts, this season’s new statement jumper, Alexander Wang was hot off the mark with BMX bandit style, and there were cagoules aplenty; Peter Pilotto, meanwhile, went techno-fabulous with scuba zip detailing. Look for racer-front vests, two-tone, crop tops and this season’s Marmite piece, the wedge hi-top trainer.

Vix Swimwear and Beachwear

Considered an exclusive and affluent part of Rio de Janeiro, Leblon is Brasil’s seaside playground for the wealthy. Located in the city’s famous Zona Sul, or South Zone, Leblon has the advantages of a central location with the privacy of a privileged neighborhood.

The traversing streets, sights and sounds of Leblon served as the rich inspiration behind the new, striped pattern bearing the community’s name. Designer Paula Hermanny updated the traditional stripe with a wide, textured black stripe, introducing a newnautical style for ViX. The elegance of black and off-white keep the Leblon pattern classic, while the orange pop of color breathes vibrancy into the design.

Although the sun is not very bright yet, she is about to come one of these days. And we better be
prepared girls!!!

What is pretty hot at the moment is Tom Fords sunglasses, but River Island has good look a likes for
reasonable price. A friend of mine, Priya, she also living in London and a model, is a optician.
 I asked her to show us which models are doing well and she made cool pics for us.

If you want to see more details about the sunglasses or buy them click on the pic, but you know how it works.
