Packing tips: we like, we need… city-luxe sunglasses
Posted by Toni on April 9th, 2009
THIS MONTH, MRS SMITH CAN’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT…
a pair of stylish city-slicker shades
Whether they’re swanning around in Sorrento, pounding the pavements in Paris or sunning themselves on a beach holiday in Mexico, the fash pack don’t need much of an excuse to put their sunnies on. As of this week, everyone Mr & Mrs Smith have met has been sporting eye-popping eyewear.
These aren’t just any old glasses, though: your sunglasses say a lot about you, so if you want to earn some extra-speccy style points this summer, this is my pick of the posiest sunnies around (and the only thing to pack for that romantic city break over Easter or one of the May Bank Holidays):
