trendspotting: mirrored sunnies

It all started with this picture.

The "it" that I am referring to is my obsession with colored reflective sunglasses, which has now established itself as a full-blown trend for spring. (See just about every fashion week street style round up and this post on Refinery29.) I posted this photo by Garance Doré about two years ago in reference to the white blazers, but it turns out that it was those orange mirrored aviators that left a lasting impression on me. I picked up my first pair of mirrored sunnies at a street fair last summer: clear wayfarers with blue lenses, and when those sadly broke, I snagged a set of cobalt blue wayfarers with orange lenses from Aldo. Cute as they may be, they're pretty bold for every day and not the greatest quality, so now I'm jonesing for mirrored Ray-Ban aviators just like the ones above. (Birthday money purchase, perhaps?)

Here are just a handful of the many photos that have been perpetuating my obsession:

A bunch of really cool sunglasses brands, like Spektre, Westward Leaning, and Wildfox, are featuring plenty mirrored styles. Not to mention you'll be sure to find them at every fast fashion retailer this spring.

You think you'll give them a shot, too?

want this now: what the editors are wearing

To me, fashion editors are like the cool girls in school. They’re the ones who know what’s hip before the rest of us and set the trends both in magazines and on the streets.

As you may know, fashion month is well under way (this week: Milan!), and I’ve found myself anxiously awaiting updates on Tommy Ton’s Style.com street style album (a veritable yearbook of fashion’s top editors) than images from the shows themselves. Why you ask? Because I am ready for a CHANGE, something fresh, something new in fashion, and I need the cool girls to be my guide.

What have they told me is in? Camouflage print, military colors and details, leopard everything, denim-on-denim ensembles and camel colored coats. Love, love, love and LOVE!

J.Crew obviously got the memo for fall and has an awesome selection of these trends, many of which are on sale now!! Camo print pants, dress, and skirt, flack jackets, denim shirts, a denim vest, a great camel peacoat and some leopard print ballet flats.

My friend Ana already has the denim-on-denim ensemble down, wearing today a lightweight denim shirt from H&M and a pair of dark lejeans (I refuse to call them jeggings). Personally, I'm on the hunt for a furry leopard scarf as pictured above on fashion's favorite redhead Taylor Tomasi Hill and the stylish show-goer above her. I already got my hands on an army green military shirt and you better believe that I've broken out my Abercrombie and Fitch camo cargos from eighth grade.
