Sunglasses Trends for 2012

Sunglasses trends for 2012 are largely based on trends from 2011, also influenced by the trends followed by celebrities and designers.

“Oversized” or “statement” sunglasses are still on trend from 2011, with retro styling typical of styles seen in the 1970’s. Currently it is a very popular style favoured by celebrities, providing that movie star glam appeal made popular by starlets like Audrey Hepburn.

Vintage or vintage styled sunglasses are also very popular, as with clothing the trend to collect vintage pieces – which has become rather fashionable, so too is collecting retro sunglasses from yester-year. If you cannot source actual vintage glasses, then popular sunglass brands are also producing vintage-styled sunglasses.

Sunglasses colour trends for 2012 are varied, with popular neutral shades like black and beige always in style but “colour” is definitely in fashion. From more subtle shades of burgundy’s, purples and orange, moving on to neon colours, which are extremely popular across the fashion spectrum.

Although sunglasses are very much more of a fashion statement than a mere necessity any longer, I do feel it is important to buy good quality glasses and if you can get polarised lenses then even better, as these offer better protection for your eyes from harsh sunlight.

Something else to keep in mind when shopping for a new pair of shades is your colour skin-tone and the shape of your face, you still want the sunglasses to suit you even if you are buying a trendy item.

Simple Style Trends

Simple Style by supermomsa featuring old navy jeans

Inspired by my “Look of the Week” this week – simple understated style! There is nothing more sexy than a crisp white shirt and a great fitting pair of jeans, whether they are flared or skinny. It really screams the all-American, “girl next door” look and going into winter you can swop the wedges out for boots or pumps.

Scarlett Johansson – Cover of Vogue

Scarlett Johansson “back in stride” and looking uber beautiful and extremely sexy! These photographs featured in the May issue of Vogue, capture her serene – classic beauty so well!

Scarlett Johansson in Vogue

After enduring heartache and a painful invasion of privacy, Scarlett Johansson is now having the time of her life. The blonde Venus talks to Jason Gay about her high-flying movie role and surprising new romance.

Scarlett Johansson is crying and holding a knife. This is not as scary as it sounds. It is afternoon in New York City, and Johansson is standing in the kitchen of Greer Nuttall, a Southern-raised chef who worked for the legendary Alice Waters. Nuttall is giving us a lesson in proper knife technique—thwap, thwap, thwap on a thick wooden cutting board—and it was idyllic until the onions. Johansson is an enthusiastic amateur chef, known to host lively dinner parties, but she and onions do not mix. Her tears come fast and freely, and I’m not talking about the kind of light mist that many of us get when chopping the pungent bulb. Forty seconds into an onion, and one of the most glamorous actresses alive is pink-eyed and sniffling and looking like she’s been asked to put a cat to sleep. ~ Quoted from Vogue.com
