Illesteva Sunglasses

Another brand I have been noticing a lot on Mr Porter.com, along with Stubbs and Wootton is Illesteva, a New York Based sunglasses designer. 

The sunglasses have a distinctive 1950's feel to them and they are all handmade in Italy, but designed in New York. 

The brand has already been making the rounds in the celebrity fields, being worn by stars such as Beyonce, her sister (whatever her name is), Sienna Miller and Gwen Stefani.

Here are a selection of some of my favourites.

Trends: Stubbs & Wootton Slippers

Recently on my shopping trips and visiting BryanBoy and various other blogs, I have noticed a trend of Stipper style shoes popping up from time to time and I love it!

My favourite ones so far have defiantly been the ones from Stubbs & Wootton, a Palm Beach based brand. 

I first saw them under the "New Designer" page on Mr Porter and I also featured them in a "New this week on Mr Porter" on this blog from the 27th March, check it here

Anyway, I really love these shoes. I think they are perfect, given the Nautical theme, which is one of those classic summer themes. 

Here are some of me favourites:

Crest Blue
$450

Cuence Red
$450
(these are the ones I featured before and are my favourite ones available at the moment)

Tides Lapis
$450

Nautigram Navy
$450

Cane Red
$450

My Thoughts On: Society

Why would you want to fit in with Vultures if you were born to be a Swan?

Just a Quick Appology

I am terribly sorry I have not been that active on my blog. 
I recently got a new job and it keeps me quite busy and the hours are long. ...

(I am waitering at one of the best Bar/Brasserie in Durban. 
Not my dream job, but it pays well and keeps me busy.)

I am also sorting out University applications.
I will try do as much as I can, but I can't do that many big pieces at the moment.
Much love and thanks for the support everyone.
