Yes, it’s that time of year when we can finally dig out those shades to protect our eyes from those much awaited UV rays! However If you’re anything like me you have probably lost those favourite pair of shades from last year and are in search for a stylish new pair! If this is the case you may like to take a peek at Jimmy Choo’s new sunglasses collection that is overwhelmingly hot!

This black framed pair of sunglasses from the collection immediately caught my eye, the stunning knot detail in python effect ooozes glamour and style, while the grey shaded lense makes an interesting contrast against the shiny black frame. The small metal logo is also a very cute touch!

Since Coco Chanel released their quilted leather & chains bag back in 2006, I’ve seen it everywhere. A real Chanel bag like this one retails at about £3,200, but you can get different versions and colours off the high street for as little as £55, from Topshop.

Marc Jacobs also has a similar styled quilted leather bag retailing at £400. The little black quilted bag is so chic, it goes with anything, and is especially elegant for a night out. Whether the bag is genuine Chanel, Marc Jacobs or Topshop, quilted leather is definitely still in.

The bag pictured is a genuine Chanel Flap Bag and can be found at Stylefinder.
