Oh, so adorable!

These over sized, perfect circle, sunglasses have a very carefree glamorous 70’s look that i really love and are avaliable in pechy pink or blue with a heart on each lens in a lighter shade. Not only do they look amazing, there’s a story behind them as well.

Chloë Sevigny got together with Barton Perreira when designing sunglasses for Opening Ceremony. The three models are all inspired by Andy Warhol’s superstar Candy Darling from the documentary Beautiful Darling. These round ones are named after the actress Candy herself.

MYKITA has a wonderful frame in their collection named “Ingrid”, which actually is named and inspired by Ingrid Bergman. This is one of my favorite frames from MYKITA! It’s slightly oversized but still feminine and elegant. Just like Ingrid Bergman, a classic beauty.

Here are some pictures of the frames that I took a while ago. I love the meeting between classic shapes and various colors.

The red one is definitely my favorite, since I love red details!

Sometimes it’s fun to accessorize with glasses in other ways than actual glasses.

I bought this broche at the Brillenmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands last summer. they have an excellent collection of old glasses and anything historical concerning optometry. I will post photos from the museum in the future. If in amsterdam, you should definately pay them a visit! They also sell vintage frames such as Persol Ratti.

E&E Sunglasses

This week we had the pleasure to meet the founders and designers behind the new eyewear brand E&E. The brand name comes from their names Erik  and Emilia. They are both from northern Sweden and all their sunglasses are named after different  Swedish summer resorts.

The sunglasses are all handmade in acetate. In the same factory as Ralph Lauren Eyewear. Despite all of this, the prices are very friendly and it might inspire you to go a little bit more crazy, or maybe buy two of them?

E&E “Falsterbo”


E&E “Ribban”


E&E “Falsterbo” and “Bettnes”

Jasmin and I like the brown “Falsterbo” with the faded glasses a lot and we think this one will be E&E’s bestseller! But, if you want to go more crazy, I would like to recommend the orange one, that color is just so happy and cool.
