Visiting Star Wars Land, Tunisia

STAR WARS LAND // BONOCLESTAR WARS LAND // BONOCLE

During my trip to Tunisia I took 2 days for going on a road trip. One of the highlights from the trip was definitely visiting Star Wars land, I had no clue Star Wars was filmed in the desert of Tunisia(!). So cool!

I spent the day together with my latest addition of sunglasses: these awesome shades from Hyde’s. I don’t think they’ve reached the stores yet, but watch out for updates because their latest collection is really awesome.

HYDES SUNGLASSES SS13 Barbara Canales

Pro tip: put prescription lenses in your sunglasses. It’s the best thing to do before a vacation. For a road trip spending the days sleeping in a bus, visiting the desert and very dry environments it’s simply impossible wearing contacts without getting your eyes extremely dry. I’m therefore very happy I had the time to put prescription lenses to these sunnies, and best thing: they look exactly like the original lenses.

Watch out: Sunny updates coming up!

Amigos, I’ve been in sunny Tunisia the past week enjoying an amazing vacation! Riding camels in the Sahara desert, going on jeep safari, visiting berber people, Star Wars land, spending hours by the pool and simply wearing tons of sunglasses.

I will share my sunny moments of the week here soon. While waiting please enjoy this very lol gif of me wearing a selection of the sunglasses I brought to Tunisia. Stay tuned!

Sunglass’ Shop @ Liberty, London

Liberty, London, Sunglass' shop

When I visited London a couple of weeks ago I found a very nice sunglass’ spot at Liberty’s. Here you find a very fine selection of eyewear brands from all over the world, and not just the regular Luxotica-brands.

Some favorite Bonocle pieces:

Liberty, London, Sunglasses from ACNEACNE. We’ve been writing about this model before, but not this color. Isn’t it amazing? Very fine matte surface and perfect combination of colours.

Liberty, London, Sunglasses from Thierry LasryThierry Lasry. As always, glossy acetate in lovely colours. Love the oversized round shape of the brown frame, feminine retro. And the red one… do I even need to explain? It’s the PERFECT nuance of red (and as some of you might know by now, I simply love red).

Liberty, London, Sunglasses from The Row (Linda Farrow)The Row. This is Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen’s own accessory brand. Established 2006 and loved by the fashion scene world wide. Playful and fashionable eyewear pieces of good quality.
