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

Game Changer

Is it reasonable to say that man's version of fashion month is March Madness? Paying homage to this, I will be taking a look at the literal "sportswear" trend. The first football jersey dress, which happened to be sequined, was created by Geoffrey Beene in 1967. You can see a spread in Harper's Bazaar from the same year that shows the gowns. This is where Tom Ford got his inspiration for some of the sequined mini dresses in his Fall 2014 collection. Another designer joining him on this trend was Jeremy Scott, who turned to a furrier version in multiple colors. Before these two designers, Tommy Hilfiger took a whack at basketball looking jerseys rather than football for Spring 2014. Although they are great looks on the runway, I love the way that girls on the street take this and turn it into their own. Whether it be an old hand-me-down from their brother or a football jersey adorning "Celine," you can accomplish this look in almost anyway. My favorite way so far is with a jersey dress and a pair of sexy, strappy sandals. This mix of feminism with the roughness of the sportswear is effortlessly sexy. There is a lot of wiggle room with this trend, so you can achieve it through jerseys, sneakers, letter jackets, or sports caps (just no helmets please, imagine the helmet hair). Speaking of letter jackets, I just got my varsity letter for basketball yesterday, and I am constantly thinking of how I can translate it into my style and make it my own. There boys, are you happy? Fashion and sports can go together.
