About Me

My new outlook on fashion began with the first pair of Wayfarers that I'd purchased in LA. I then lived in Manchester for a while and grew to love the grungy alternative English style. Europe gave me a new perspective on fashion exposing me to styles such as the Spanish hippy and Parisian class. Now I feel more aware of looks, styles and trends and hope to explore those observations through this blog. Enjoy!

Ray Ban I love you

The 80s also saw Mr Ray Ban in a big way. Although designed in 1952, it wasn't until the 80s that the Wayfarers gained mass popularity - people started rockin the look after they were worn in the movie The Blues Brothers. Ray Ban must've been doing something right when he produced these sunnies that were originally designed for pilots yet loved by all (ok maybe not all, but most - or at least the kids interested enough in looking the part).

The Ray Ban Aviator's also gained a following... well, I don't know how trendy my folks and their friends were but they seemed to be wearing them. I think I want a pair. I'm feeling a little bit sentimental.
