Slim Shady: Our Favourite Sunglasses of 2012


Nothing rocks an outfit more than a killer pair of shades. 
You could be wearing your favourite 5 year old tshirt and jeans you've had since highschool, but if you team it with an awesome pair of sunnies then you are onto a winner.
The best thing about the sunglasses trend these days are that they rarely go out of fashion (except for those 'Terminator style or the Matrix spy ones). I mean, I remember having a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarer knockoffs when I was about 6 with fluro pink arms and black front. And then all of a sudden the Wayfarers hit the fashion scene with a vengeance 10 years later with a multiple choice of arms and lens gradients to choose from, who would have known?! I have bought quite a few pairs of sunnies over the years where my mum has said 'I used to have some like those when I was your age'. So clearly it might be worth keeping all that I own for my kids and then they will be 'vintage' and super cool originals!!!

Check out some of these cool celebrity shades!

The Olsen twins represent for Chanel with these bang on trend Two Tone Round sunglasses
And my article wouldn't be complete without Gaga and her eccentric shades!

With so many styles to choose from these days it's overwhelming, but choosing the perfect shades doesn't have to blow your budget. There are plenty of designer inspired looks that are affordable. So before you decide to blow your weekly pay check and live on bread and water for the next 2 weeks, have a look online at places like www.asos.com or ww.theiconic.com.au for some fabulous cheapies where you will find plenty of designer style sunglasses for a fraction of the price.



Tortoise, cat eye, rainbow colored, aviator, white and ones that Gaga would be envious of, the choices are endless.
