Sunglasses Favorites SS16

Happy Tuesday!
Spring is well and truly upon us, meaning more sunnier days and lighter evenings, so it's time to bring out the best accessories of all: sunglasses. For today's post we're talking our current favourite sunglasses for Spring/Summer. 

S's Favourites 

Metal Bar: Topshop

Since the bloom of Christian Dior's 'So Real' sunglasses, many high street stores have included a metal bar detail into their designs. I'm a fan of this metal detail, they add an edge to any sunglasses. The mix of thick frames and metal bar is the perfect mix.

Rose and Nude: Quay Australia
As a girly girl I adore the nude and rose gold combination, and these Quay cat-eye sunglasses have gone to straight to my wish list. The mirrored lenses makes these sunglasses the perfect statement accessory: perfect for a variety of outfits.

Coloured Lens: H&M
A bold, coloured lens has become a popular trend over the past few years and has no sign of disappearing anytime soon. I love this pair from H&M: the amber blue lens against the tortoiseshell frame is very complimentary. 

 K's Favourites

Round: Ray Ban
Ray Ban are the ultimate brand when it comes to producing classic sunglasses shapes in simple styles, and this pair of round sunnies are no exception! Throw this pair on to perfect that retro look, with the skinny black frames and gradient tinted lenses.

Cat-Eye: AJ Morgan
I love a good cat-eye! Bold designs with thick frames are super popular right now, but I loved this delicate pair with the translucent colouring and gold bar detail like the ones S has chosen. These are perfect if you want less of a statement look and are perfect for festival season!

Oversized: Le Specs
I can't get enough of these sunglasses: they're so huge and I love them! I feel like the perfect pair of sunnies can really make an outfit, and these can do just that. The tortoiseshell colouring isn't too bold to overpower the shape and makes for a super chic look.

SUMMER ACCESSORIES: OUR MUST HAVES

The start of a new season is a very exciting time for fashion lovers, with the new "this season" collection in full swing! Changing of seasons allows for the perfect opportunity to experiment with your style and freshen up your look. A start of a new season does not only mean new clothes: the stores are now filled with the latest accessories perfect for this time of year. Accessories are the perfect way to customise your outfit and can also be the main feature of it!
Today at Eleven Oh Seven we talk through our favourite accessories for the coming summer months.

S' Picks

1. This Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume is the perfect scent for summer. It's light and fresh with a long-lasting scent, and the packaging is a statement in itself: beautiful and delicate. This scent is perfect for any summers day.  

2. Z for Accessorize has become of of my favourite jewellery brands on the high street. Designed to be layered for a luxe aesthetic, Zara Simon's collection is this season's must have jewellery trend with it's dainty designs, discrete detail and stacking ideals. I already have my eye on her 2x wishbone stacked midi ring.

3. Pastel bags are perfect for the summer months and they're a great way to add colour to your style after the winter season. I am currently obsessing over this Topshop Boxy PU Tote. The cream colour could brighten up any outfit and the laser cut detail on the side of the bag adds an edge to the design. 

4. Nail colour is the perfect way to customise an outfit. This summer, Olivia Palermo has teamed up with Ciaté London to create this luxe collection. I love these colours as they are perfect for summer. With a mix of bright red, coral and a pinky nude perfect for a Summer wedding, this collection will definitely get your nails summer ready.

5. Heeled sandals and fringing are two of the most popular trends this summer and when I spotted these fringe high heeled sandals from Zara I couldn't help but have the urge to buy them there and then. Also in cream, this shoe would be perfect to add a statement to any outfit without being too overpowering.

6. As soon as summer hits, everyone becomes obsessed with sunglasses! This year I love the ShayxQuay collection (similar here). Her statement designs add a modern twist to the classic sunglasses design. I couldn't resist picking a pair up when they were released in the UK (check out our Instagram to see which ones I chose!)

K's Picks

 

 


1. This Zara perfume: Vanilla Wood is a firm favourite of mine, with hints of mandarin, peach, cocoa and praline as well as the obvious vanilla, this scent is lightly floral and fruity - perfect for summer days and evenings.

2. Birkenstocks seem to have the 'Marmite' effect: you either love them or hate them. Safe to say that I'm definitely in the former category, and with the majority of high street stores bringing out their own versions of this strap style sandle, you can wear them for a more affordable price. I love these original Birkenstocks from ASOS in white as they're a classic colour that will perfectly accompany your summer wardrobe.

3. Phone and tablet cases are a perfect way to dress up your tech and update their aesthetic throughout the year, giving that extra flash of colour and design to your overall look. I'm a huge fan of this Rifle Paper Co. case, as it's boldly floral and hand-designed.

4. As S said, nail colour is the perfect way to finish off an outfit, matching them to your accessories or a colour you're wearing. I personally love pastels for summer (as well as spring) as they always look great with a tan! These Topshop colours: Boy Next Door and Parma Violet are my current favourites, and being part of Topshop's limited edition '5 Years of Beauty' range, they come in this gorgeous rose gold packaging!

5. A summer styled hat is a definite essential for me this time of year. Not only do they aid with keeping the sun out of your eyes, but can pull a outfit together, especially when you're off to the beach! This braided Madeline hat from Free People is gorgeous with a wide brim and ribbon detail.

6. Ear cuffs are the perfect jewellery statement this season, ranging from dainty to bold and elaborate designs. Being a rose gold fan (if you couldn't already guess!), I love this cute leaf/vine inspired design ear cuff from Topshop. It's understated design will add that little bit of extra attention to your jewellery this summer.
