Waterway Collection x Warby Parker

Dreaming of white beaches feeling sand between your toes, endless horizons watching the sun dip below the ocean, and sipping sangria laying out by the pool? Well the guys down at Warby Parker certainly were when designing their new Waterway Collection. Taking the brand's favourite style and adding a refreshing new summer time spin for this exclusive summer collection. 

Now summer time is one of my absolute favourite times of year, not only providing an extremely valid reason to visit every rooftop bar in the city, but also giving you every excuse to buy a new pair of sandals...every week gosh I know I have a problem. And when better to whip out your staple sunnies than in the height of summer?! Warby Parker's latest collection have taken timeless styles; Bensen, Griffin, Percey, Piper & Welty, for a quick dip and attributed shoreline shades like Sand Castle and Marine Pebble for a dash of summer time allure. 

Being both a glasses wearer and a sunglass fanatic, it is more than refreshing to see these iconic styles that all Warby Parker fans know and love and add and extra special incentive of purchase. Warby Parker's 'Do Good' programme's ethos is 'by a pair, give a pair' and works towards supporting those 703 million people who currently live without access to eyewear. So far Warby Parker have managed to provide over 1 million people across the World with the vital glasses that they so need, click here to watch the inspiring video.

The Waterway collection has hit stores this week and is available to shop in store and showrooms across America, and is now available to shop online, click here to shop.

90's Varsity

What I'm Wearing: Gap Plaid Shirt, Customised Vintage Varsity Jacket, +Topshop Embellished Mom Jeans, American Apparel Leotard.

Flash back to the 90's much? Jazzy mom jeans, varsity jackets and plaid shirts I feel as though I'm dressing as my former 10yr old self, just with a tad more sass. I've been umming and ahhing about these jeans since I bought them from the Topshop Flagship on Oxford Circus. Are they wearable enough? Are they flattering enough? But chucking them on with some super casual pieces I just fell in love. Who can resist a bit of sparkle, after all my friends do describe me as somewhat of a magpie. Anything with sequins glitter or studs and I'm drawn straight to it with an almost compelled feeling to purchase said item. Anyway enough of my ridiculous shopping habits, I'm off to try out a new restaurant tonight with my friend Geneva.

Glasses shopping is terrifying. 

How on earth are you meant to be able to choose one accessory that you have to wear every day for the next two years of your life. It was just so difficult.

Umming and Ahhing for what felt like hours, I tried on pretty much every frame in the entire store.

Tom Ford

Bvlgari

Polo Ralph Lauren

Dolce & Gabbana

Persol

Diesel

Prada

Frankly, I think there was just way too much choice. Black frames, tortoise shell frames, round frames, square frames, cat eyed frames, big frames, small frames, frameless?! All the trying on made me a bit delirious and with each new frame I ended up embodying a different character, transforming from Harry Potter to my mad aunt in a matter of moments. It all just got a bit overwhelming.

I ended up choosing these matt black beauties by Dolce & Gabbana. I absolutely love them. I feel like a huge geek when they're on, which is brilliant for when I've got to sit and work for hours on end, as they really get me in the studious mood. So all the fretting and stressing for the past week, wondering whether or not I'd made the right decision, and even considering going back into the store to check that I hadn't missed any, paid off. Winner winner chicken dinner.
