This season at fashion week I made a real effort not to shop. I only purchased two items the whole trip, which is a huge improvement from previous visits to New York. I didn’t really have much free time either, so that made it easier, but I did hop into Barney’s on Sunday afternoon after the Design Darling brunch. Because I didn’t have time to actually try on clothes, I limited my perusal to shoes, handbags and accessories. Because of my obsession with Chloe’s new Drew bag, I kept making rounds to that area of the first floor, which just happens to be right next to sunglasses. If you don’t know me, I love to collect sunglasses. I’m not someone who can just wear the same pair of Ray-Ban’s every day – that just sounds so boring to me! Sunglasses are a way for me to add a different personality to my outfit. Each pair I own is very unique – I own pairs from practically every eyewear designer, BUT, what I don’t have is anything with a sleek silver tone to them. Most, if not all of my sunglasses have gold hardware. As I’m sure you do know, I love have to match. If I’m wearing silver jewelry, or my handbag has silver hardware, I feel like my sunglasses should also have silver. Am I right?
Anyway, back to my shopping trip. When I was looking through all the sunglasses, I first stopped by Celine because, well, it’s Celine. But then something shiny caught my eye… I spotted this pair of reflected, mirrored sunglasses by Dior in both gold and silver. I first was drawn to gold, but I had to give myself a talking to. You need to stop buying gold! You have enough! So, instead, I went with the silver – and I couldn’t be happier for it. I’ve already worn them so much! If silver isn’t your thing, this pair is also available in rose gold, copper gold and light gold. Stay tuned to find out what else I got in NYC!
Coat: Maje (old – similar here), Sweater: J.Crew (on sale!), Shirt: Dakota Collective, Jeans: JBRAND, Bag: Chanel, Shoes: Rag & Bone, Hat: Preston & Olivia, Sunglasses: Dior (also available in gold!), Rings: David Yurman and Ippolita
I adoooore these sunnies, I’ve been watching them for weeks, if only they would go on sale lol. Cool outfit too, love these jeans.

These sunglasses are SO COOL! I’m all for mixing metals but I can hear wanting to stay either gold or silver. Also, is this mural in New York? Because I love it!

Great purchase! I did a little shopping – my visit to Kate Spade Madison Ave with personal stylist Kelly is the culprit! But I have to say, just like you I kept making the rounds on the first floor at Bergdorf’s back to the handbags and then a pair of Tom Ford pumps, but lunch reservations kept me from pulling the trigger!
