Are sunglasses the new handbag?

Posted by Rebekah Roy on October 22nd, 2007

Sunglasses can change an outfit in an instant and they’re not just for the summer months. Whenever I go on a trip I tend to buy a pair of sunglasses – it’s part of my Heathrow routine and I’m very thrown off when I have to depart from Gatwick. At first I didn’t really like wearing sunglasses: I felt like I was hiding something but now I wear a pair of Burberry Quilted Check sunglasses almost every day. I never leave the house without them. It’s not so much vanity or even fashion, I just don’t like the sun in my eyes.

Hotel Room

Posted by Rebekah Roy on November 7th, 2006

Club Med In Florida for a week! It was work but at least on the last day I got to go to a kick boxing class and a pilates class outside looking over the beach front,and then back to London. It’s funny when you go away because you really having a sense of what home is. I’m not sure I would want to live in a hot climate. I love summer and sunglasses but I love coats, cardigans, layers and soft leather boots.

Fakes

Posted by Rebekah Roy on July 19th, 2006

When I was in Paris last year I saw a pair of pink Dior sunglasses that I just love, I don’t even remember why I didn’t buy them. The sky was grey & wintery and I think I thought I’d see them again in London but I never did. So I am always looking for the perfect pink pair of Dior sunglasses. So of course when I see the word sale and designers together I get a bit riveted, even hopefull that I might find my sunglasses… Of course I couldn’t bring myself to wear a fake label. Really I’d rather just buy a cheap anything then a fake something. I just can’t get over that it seems OK to sell fakes. I keep thinking that I’m wrong this might be real, but really I know you get what you pay for…

At most of the music festivals there are stall to do some shopping.
