Contrary to my annual ritual, this year I actually might not have a summer holiday. Or maybe I do… a last minute trip could be exciting!

But then again, I was fantasizing about what to pack for my imaginary summer holiday (as of now). And here’s me sharing the love:

I was invited to the preview of Prada and Miu Miu Spring Summer 2013 Eyewear last week. This season’s shades just got more and more interesting. Bigger embellishments, check. Innovative shapes, check. Eclectic styles, check.

This season’s hottest eyewear is probably the flower series, that is the motif for their new advertising campaign. These are not just fun trendy frames, they are made of ultralight materials and is a breeze to wear too.

Patterned and tortoise shades have in the rage for a while but this season, the shape of eyewear gets more masculine and structured.

This is why the above pair of purple tortoise shades from Miu Miu captured my heart.

As a blog that attempts to propagate classy, wearable styles, I find it incredulous that I have never blogged about Grace Kelly. Perhaps she was way before my time, but this lady was the inspiration of the famous Hermès Kelly Bag, the Capri pants and the recent jewellery collection at Montblanc.

Grace Kelly (or Princess Grace after her marriage) through the years. It is uncanny to see how her elegant and timeless dress outfits are actually feasible even in the current era.

Last week, I was invited by Luxottica to preview the Fall/Winter range of eyewear from the brands that distribute such as Miu Miu, Burberry, Ray-Ban, Vogue etc.

Of course, how could I resist playing with different frames?

Before I get started, I just wanted to clarify that when I said “Shades”, I actually meant “Sunglasses”.

Taking a leaf off several celebrities’ books, colorful sunglasses is a way to add quirkiness to your outfits!

OHH EMMM GEE, this is probably the most delayed post ever! My “Facebooking” series that came one-half week late. August was the epitome of awesome for me, for three weeks out of four was spent out of town in NYC. Probably the best time I have had this year.
