If you’re in London, have you like me, been basking in the sun? Seriously, I could literally smell the sun today and yesterday. We have had two days of , as my friend likes to call it, ‘beer-garden weather’. Time to start thinking about the shades. This delectable selection of vintage shades was snapped at London’s premiere vintage-must-see-spot, One of a Kind on Portobello Road in London. The thing you can’t get with modern day shades is the genuine wackiness. Sure, you’ll get the ones that sort of gingerly touch on the mad side or are a little theatrical. But I’ve never seen sunglasses lack as much tact, subtlety or sometimes taste as vintage ones do and I suppose that’s what we love about them.
So by all means, do look ‘cool and classy’ in the Chanels, Diors etc but I want to have proper silly fun in these ones. Whilst downing cheeky Vimto in a beer garden. In the sun.
vintage wacky sunnies = love
dunno where to get them here in l’pool. can u but them for me, by any chance?
i just love that picture of all the happy little sunglasses together
I’m so crazy about huge sunnies now, bought a couple from H&M when I was in HK last week. Found some vintage ‘New’ ones on eBay as well!
I love vintage sunglasses, though one runs the risk of being called “Elton” when wearing them. Seriously, it’s happened to me.
You can buy some super crazy sunglasses from Heidi Seeker. They are amazzzzzzing.
there’s also a nice little vintage shop in greenwich, which hides treasures like this. cant remember what it’s called though…
vintage ray-bans for me this summer!!!
when we get a glimpse of the sun x x x
American apparel stores have INCREDIBLE sunglasses, a bit pricey, not vintage aviators with no scratches..
SWOOOON.
