sunnies, shades and vitamin d

Urban Outfitters-
Two Toned Mirrored Aviators

So as the snow melts and the temperature’s positive to negative ratio begins to level, I can’t ignore the fact that my happiness level has just hit overwhelmingly positive levels. Now this could be due to exciting life changes, the conclusion of school, my recent visit to the city I grew up BUT for the sake of this post and what its all about, lets attribute this overwhelming happiness to the regular natural absorption of vitamin D and the beauty that is SUNSHINE!

A sun-worshipper since birth, nothing makes me happier then the feeling of hot rays beating down on my face. Now for a girl that grew up at the beach, cabin and basking in the sun for every spare daylight minute, my collection of sunnies over the years has gone through quite the evolution; but like most fashions discussed on my blog… some styles reign, and truly stand the test of time. 


I discovered aviators at the ripe age of 10. Blue mirrored lenses, blue wire frames and totally baby-spice inspired, I rocked those shades to and from that 10-minute walk to elementary school with the upmost confidence. Like many iconic fashions there is a cycle and styles tend to come back the same yet slightly different. Urban Outfitters offers what I would like to consider the 2014 version of my baby-spice turn of the century blue mirrored sunnies (see Urban Outfitters- Two-Toned Mirrored Aviators).

Now flash forward 7 years or so… walking down Hollywood Blvd in the sweltering heat of summer. It was here that I picked up a stellar pair of no-name stark black lensed, white-framed aviators that clearly made me feel like a million bucks in the star-studded town. Adrianna Lima rocks this accessory with an incognito getup to which any celeb would be quick to play style copycat (see ALDO- Neils Aviators).

Finally. You know that item in your closet that you love so much that you buy two because you have an inevitable fear you will lose or ruin the original and be left empty handed and forlorn about the loss of your precious piece? Those are my Ray-Ban aviators. These are a closet must have. Now I’m not normally one to say, “You need to get these” but you kind of need to get these. They may not be your everyday (even though they are mine), but I promise you they will be there for at least some days to accessorize your summer style (see Ray-Ban- Aviator Classic).
