Radley Green/Teal Aviator Sunglasses

As soon as I saw these I had to have them! They were supposed to be £60 but I got them on sale for £19, so then there was no excuse not to get them! . These are green and teal, they have no frame so they look less imposing on the face, and they have little purple and orange flowers holding the legs to the glass, which is really cute and unusual. They are UV 400 so they absorb 100% of the suns harmful rays, however they surprisingly don't make every thing look teal, it just looks less bright. . These come with the usual bronze and polka dotty oversized case (which is probably too oversized as it takes up so much room), which is very hard and protective of the glasses. . They are really good quality for £19, but I don't think they would have been worth £60 looking at the finish, as there are flaws such as a gap between the first half of the leg and the second half of the leg, and one leg has more of a gap then the other. They also had a little (very little) scratch on them, but for the price I got them for I can't complain, and it isn't too visible and doesn't affect vision, but when you look closely it is still there!

Chanel Sunglasses; Worth The Money?

So, I have one of those faces that just doesn't suit that many styles of sunglasses! And I have kind of fallen out with my Radley pair as I'm now paranoid that they just don't suit me! So, I decided to go on the hunt for sunglasses, and I saw so many I loved, a lot of them were mens ones (why do men have so many more cool pairs of sunglasses at their disposal!?!),and ones that especially stood out to me (for females, lol) are the Chanel, but damn are they expensive, not as expensive as they could have been I suppose, but either way they aren't cheap! . Now it says the pair pictured are made of ebony, and the Chanel logo is set in mother of pearl, now that to me sounds like good quality material. But I think I would be too scared to wear them incase I did them any damage! But more then the quality and price, they are such a cult fashion item to own, but is that in itself a good reason to buy them? . The styles, for the most part, are timeless and up to the minute with good workmanship and quality materials.... but do I want to spend £200-£300 on sunglasses that my clutsy self might ruin, or that I may go off? Or are they an investment, and an item I will treasure for years to come? Do I find a cheaper alternative, or do I go all out and get the high end? Fashion shouldn't be this difficult! . So what do you think is best, the good quality and cult fashion Chanel, or the highstreet cheaper alternative?

Radley Beige 50's Sunglasses

50's chic? Yes please! I had been looking for thick rimmed cream sunnies for a while, however most of them are very big in the frame, and because I have a smallish face they just don't look right as they pretty much drown my face. These however are a bit smaller in size and so they are much better in scale for my face. The glasses have a cute print on the legs on the inside (just cream on the outside, and have a little metal and enamel Scottie dog logo on them). They are quite small and so if you have a wide face you definitely won't be able to get these on, well not comfortably. The case it comes with is a huge bronze polka dot case, it isn't very light to take on your holidays and it takes up far too much room, but it is very secure and protective. it also comes with a brown polka dot cloth. I got these for £25 from Bicester Village Radley. RRP £70.
