On my mind: (almost) Invisible Frames

Mr Porter

I have been obsessed with see-through frames for a while now. Mainly since Josh Peskowitz et al. started wearing them. I used to think they were hard to pull off but perhaps I never tried the right shape. So I have been looking around – and when I say around I mean only online. And when I say online I mean only on Mr Porter – for the perfect pair. They're a perfect choice for those people who, like me, like to wear sunglasses all year around. They block off light but the lenses are less tinted – perfect for the London winter. These above are my favourites.

From top to bottom: Cutler & Gross square acetate sunglasses, Oliver Peoples' Gregory Peck photochromic acetate sunglasses, Ilesteva's Leonard acetate sunglasses.

I'm not Frank: LFW edition

This picture was snapped by fashion156.com as I walked into the Top Man Design show last week. I rushed a lot that morning and wasn't looking my best but as you might have guessed from my post about the LFWdaily I get over excited about having my picture online. Yes, I will calm down. Eventually.

Fashion Week essential #3: the classic-with-an-edge shades

My second most important item in an outfit, after the shoes, are the sunglasses. The right shades can completely make a look, which is why I am a firm believer in having, at least, five or six different pairs in a variety of shapes, materials and colours. I am also a believer in investing on quality timeless pieces but with character. This season I am really into rectangular shapes. I love Oliver Peoples' model below (left), which reminded me of the Versace pair I bought about four years ago. Oliver Peoples' are my absolute go-to brand for both prescription (which you must consider investing on too if you have to wear them to watch the shows) and sunglasses because they have that classic-with-a-twist air. In any case, this coming LFW I will be sporting these ones below together with my collection of Ray-Bans, Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren and Armani.
