Mini me

We do love a miniature accessory, especially if it's a practical one. These darling folding sunglasses are from Chloe and come in an equally darling case. Perfect for travelling light whether that's a trip to the high street, a festival, or a hand-luggage only trip Ibiza. Now we just need the high street version...

Bubbling under - disco shades

Burning question: could wearing sunnies in clubs ever be cool? Well, YES! according to Swedish style arbiters, Acne. The Scandi scenester brand showed mirrored disco shades at its menswear SS2011 show this weekend. "Sunglasses were always the most important disco accessory," claims creative director Jonny Johansson thinking back to his youth.

Steal a march on the trend now with these mirrored shades by Giant Vintage. The added bonus? You can check your lippie in them too.

Snazzy shades

Latest news on the 'who's launching sunglasses' grapevine... The Olsens' Elizabeth & James line will be launching eyewear in November with a 14 piece collection. Er, isn't that a bit late? Whatever, we quite like them...

Pimp Your Peepers

It only takes a glimpse of sun to get us busting our our sunnies so the weekend's blaze of rays made us very perky indeed. Jolly good timing then that we found an email pinging into our inbox from Lazy Oaf extolling the virtues of their latest collection of 'funglasses'.

So what will it be? The retro metal-framed numbers with a flash of primary to colour-clash with your turquoise leopard-print Lanvin-alike dress?


Or perhaps the oversized black-and-fluoro ski-visors?

The Bernhard Willhelm-influenced visor shades with detachable visor offer hours of fun (clip the visor on, clip it off, clip it on, clip it off) while being quite sensible too - who needs a hat, when you have a built-in peak on your sunnies? Certainly not us...

Finally, we saved the best til last, the cat glasses which fold into a cat shape when they're not balancing on your face! Too clever (and cheap too at a mere £12)...
