Trend to *Master*: Cat Eyes

A cat with human eyes to suffice all stereotypes

Instead of the normal Trend to Try installment, I wanted to focus on something that I am a huge fan of. I have multiple pairs of cat eyes, ranging from Kate Spade to Target, but needless to say, they are my favorite shape of sunnies. As you all know, I have a rather larger face *insert picture here*, and not to mention, high, bushy eye brows that make it hard to find any glasses that cover my brows and balance out my macho face. The best kind that I have found are these little feline look alikes. My friends and family always always always say something about my gigantor glasses and make smart remarks, but I take them like I take every other fashion slander shot at me. Anywho, these are some of my favorite looks and the styles that I am currently coveting the most.

These Bobbi Brown sunnies are in the most precious color and style that doesn't scream 1950s housewife.

Bobbi Brown, 149.00

I love the gold accents on the top of these classic shades

Dior, 310.00

You can do no wrong with a pair of classic, black cat eyes, but this shape is new and ingenuous

Elizabeth and James, 265.00

If I could have one thing right now, it would be these Prada sunnies! They are so wild and crazy in the front, and then rather normal on the side. Obsessed in every respect. They also come in red and turquoise.

Prada, 310.00

Speaking of 1950s housewife. Gold ala mode.

Tom Ford, 380.00

These come right below my beloved Prada sunnies. These just look like something that Wonder Woman would wear, and us girls can always go for a little strong femme touch.

Tory Burch, 195.00

Back in the Saddle

Sorry for the sporadic leave of absence. It has been crazy with basketball and trying to get one of issues of the paper sent to press, but I am glad to say that I am back and ready to blog. For my first post back, I am going to talk about 50s fashion, because it is what I wrote my most recent fashion review on. The 1950s is one of my absolute favorite eras because of the feminism and confidence of the women. Most of my favorite brands are now the new fashion houses of designers like Givenchy, Balenciaga, and Dior. You can see hints of the era in almost any article of clothing whether it be by the fabric, the shape, or the accessories. It's only fitting that my idol was having a break through at this time. Audrey, made up by Hubert de Givenchy, always looked so classic and chic. I am also a huge fan of film from this era, especially because of Edith Head. I was thrilled when I clicked on the Oscars and saw that there was a tribute to the classic film age. When I think of 50s film, I think of Audrey and Gracce Kelly in that stunning Edith Head gown in 1955. Like the fall trend, every woman seemed to be her own heroine, and that's why I am drawn to this time period. Women took control of their looks and started doing things the way they wanted to do them. It wasn't about feminism or being equal to men, but about wearing trousers if they wanted to. This acceptance of power is a quality I wish I possessed. Remember girls, press on and just think.. W.W.A.D?
