Buys - Branded Shades with the Bug Eye Look!

In the market for a new pair of shades to keep out the glare? We bring you our choice of simplyfab branded picks. 


Store away the small round Pu yi's, apparently big bug eyes are still IN. See Liz Hurley in her Hogan's - love how her brown hair frames those bug eyes. Gorgeous even when she is casual!


To stand out, go for funky handles and coloured frames.  

From Hugo Boss - Model number 0289 at S$310. Love this pair as it looks a lot like a coveted Chanel piece that I have been lusting after 

but am just too cheap to buy!  

Gucci Model - Number GG3139 (price unavailable). Gucci is always a safe bet. Can't go wrong with that double G logo in the corner!

Marc Jacobs - Model Number MJ316 (price unavailable). I actually like this piece quite a lot. It has that aviator look and I like the colour of the lenses and frames. Less than stark black - the grey softens the total look!

Bottega Veneta - Model Number BV144s at S$560.00. Free as a butterfly, this whimsical pair adds a bit of fun to your face and wardrobe.  

Alexander Mcqueen - Model Number AMQ4157/s at S$510. 

The late King of quirky cool invents this pair with the funky handles. 

Not sure how it sits on the face but its worth a try!

Maxmara - Model number MM1078/s at S$400. A bit like the Hugo Boss (and Chanel) love the frame colour and the lovely lens colour. Go try!

Buys - Loafing around!

There has never been a better reason and season to loaf around. New shoes abound and we show you what we've found (gee, that all rhymes)... 

From TIMBERLAND .. these  Earthkeeper boatshoes come in Navy and Brown Nubuck at S$179 and use environmental materials such as eco-leather and recycled rubber. An inside tag dismantles the shoe when pulled, and the various parts of the shoe can be returned to Timberland’s factory in Dominican Republic to be reused and recycled for future footwear. Imagine that in terms of being earth-friendly! 

The ever-adorable Castille Ballerina pump in Bone or Taupe shades at S$139 has an outsole made from 42 per cent Green Rubber specially recycled from used car tires to reduce global rubber wastage. These chic flats will allow you to be environmentally light-footed with a 50 per cent PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) lining, made from recycled plastic containers and bottles which can be further reprocessed after its product life. For both shoes see: www.timberland.com 

From TODS .. the Gommino and Marlin Hyannisport loafers from S$610 are perfect both for casual walks. See: www.tods.com

From HOGAN .. take a look at the brand's new collection developed in conjunction with Karl Lagerfeld. See: www.hoganworld.com

From PUMA .. the brand has partnered first with Italian shoe maestro Sergio Rossi to launch this totally amazing collection of sports shoes gone chic.  

And also with the late Alexander McQueen for some seriously slick designer kicks. See: http://www.puma.com
