An obsession with glasses


The weather at the moment (lets forget today!) is the best. Cold enough to wrap up in jumpers and scarves, but still blindingly sunny enough to indulge in my favourite collection. You should be able to guess from the above pictures, that I am completely besotted with glasses. Depending on how you feel about them, this may be a lot or nothing at all to you. I know to my Mum who thinks you only need one pair, this will be a lot. But I just can't resist! Any car boot, vintage fair or charity shop, if I find a pair of old sunglasses, I have to take them home. I recently got the second pair on the left for £1, after only just getting the top right pair about a week after picking up the striped cat eyes! They're currently my favourites being an original pair from the 1950s (which I think are polaroid!).

I don't actually think nine pairs of sunglasses is that many, and I know I'll continue buying more and more over the years until I have hangers I display them on all over my room. I may have a problem. What do you think, are you a sunglasses lover like me?

  4. It's hard to resist a snazzy pair of glasses when they're dirt cheap. I so love those striped ones. They look just amazing.

  7. Great collection!! I wish sunglasses looked good on me; it's very hard to find a pair that flatter my face so I only have a couple pairs :)

  8. Nine isn't so bad, I think I have that many and don't consider myself a sunglasses lover at all really! Displaying them somehow is a good idea. xxx

  9. Love your collection!!! I love sunnies too. My husband works in optics so I luckily have a steady supply of the latest sunnies, although I am currently obsessed with finding vintage ones. I just bought 4 pairs from the USA. Nothing wrong with a large collection I say! Xx
