Shopping for shades on a sunny saturday

Mecca of style goodness

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a sunglasses collection to rival Jacob Zuma’s babymama collection. I have innumerable pairs, and I love them all like they’re my one and only, and the pairs I have don’t stop me from always looking to expand my family. So on Saturday I headed over to BOTH Sunglass Hut stores at the Waterfront (they have 2 stores – the ultimate collection) to pick out the perfect pair of late summer-early autumn shades. It took a while, but the staff are so clued up on the subtleties on jaw shape and face-framing that we’d narrowed it down to a shortlist after a good 30 minutes of deliberation:

There were the Pradas: chunky but slick. Love.

There were the D&G square-frames - adore.

Then there were the D&G Jackie O's, similar to a pair I have at the moment

And then there were the D&G sparkles

I was definitely in a D&G state of mind, but those Pradas are calling… maybe they’ll be my ‘early winter’ shades. Anyway my first choice ended up being the ones I went for:

Sunset in new shades: D&G square frames

The sunset from perspective of new shades

Thanks soooo much to the guys at Sunglass Hut for helping me choose! Could NEVER have done it on my own! What about y’all reading this? You got yourself some late-summer early-autumn shades yet? What’s your vibe? If not, you can always WIN some designer shades by doing the following:
