My favourite pair so far is the Nala pair in Tortoiseshell; I've always loved Tortoiseshell sunglasses, but the slightly unusual shape of these ones makes me love it even more!

Quay Sunglasses
A cute new sunglasses brand has recently come to my attention: Quay Australia. This Australian brand started being sold internationally back in 2009, but has become more popular recently. They excell in creating fun, quirky and original sunglasses, and I'm already itching to get my hands on a pair. Their sunglasses have been worn by Lady GaGa, Gwen Stefani and even Beyoncé! I have a feeling their eyeware is about to become very popular, as more people, celebrities especially, discover the brand. Although you can only only buy them on their official wesbite in dollars and in Australia, Quay Sunglasses can also be purchased from ASOS.com, and they're super afforadble too!

Fashionable TV Characters
I've kept up with a lot of TV programmes over the years (I have no life) and realised that one factor which compels me to love a character is their fashion style (obviously.)So I decided to write a piece on some of my favourite fictional fashionistas.
1. Blair Waldorf - Gossip Girl
At the top of my list is, of course, the one and only Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl. Blair always made every ensemble cute but classy, usually sporting a trademark headband to match it. But what I really noticed about Blair's style is that she never had to squeeze herself into tiny, tight-fitting outfits to look incredible. Of course, with a fashion designer for a mother on the show, all of her clothes were designer, which also aided our Blair fashion envy. But everything she wore throughout the show was just elegant, and sometimes even old-fashioned, but she still managed to pull it off. Sometimes to make an old-fashioned outfit work she would just add her own quirk to it, such as her vivid red tights teamed with the matronly pinafore from Season 1.
2. Aria Montgomery - Pretty Little Liars
Aria's style is rather punk-rock inspired, and to be honest that's why I love it. She's all for the leather jackets, dark colours and biker boots, and with her dark hair and pale skin it couldn't suit her more. Her outfits are just very "cool", for lack of a better word, and nothing ever looks too shocking that you'd think she's taken it too far, but always edgy enough that you notice her style. I am a massive fan of leather anything, so secretly quite love biker/punk-rock fashion (when done well, of course.)
3. Naomi Clark - 90210
Naomi was entirely different from the first two altogether, though still heavy on the designer like Blair, but she managed to always look as equally amazing. She definitely wanted to draw attention to herself with her outfits (particularly male attention) and most outfits would usually accentuate her tiny figure and long long legs; with a figure like hers, why wouldn't you show it off? Her classic type of outfit would be a figure-hugging mini dress with stiletto heels- very feminine, very attention-grabbing.
4. Rachel Berry - Glee
Rachel isn't a typical choice for most fashionable character, particularly as a familiar jibe to her on the show was for her childish, "Pippi Longstocking" esque fashion, but I find something extremely adorkable about her outfits. Typically, she would team a plaid skirt with shin-high stockings and a knitted animal print jumper. Whilst these particular pieces thrown together do look like something a mother would choose for her daughter's first day of nursery, I think that it totally suited Rachel's character, and with her fresh face and innocence she made it look somewhat pretty and sweet. Besides, you've got to love a good plaid skirt.
