Summer 2013 Sunnies: Tory Burch

This is the sunnies case...

Here are some of your choices...

Yes, mostly classic styles, save for the one up front which would be quite fun to wear for trips to the beach. Here's how it looks from the side, the logo is not too out there:

Tory Burch sunnies are not as common here in the Philippines, so if you want something different from the usual, these are great. They're not expensive too!

Summer 2013 Sunnies: Prada

Still can't get enough of summer sunnies? Prada has great ones as well. From classic tortoiseshell ones to the statement pair below:

For me, the Portrait sunnies from Fall 2012 is the standout. The curvy acetate detail on top embellished with purple stones evoke the illusion of a unibrow yes, but a fabulous one at that.

I believe Frida Kahlo would approve.

But if understatement is your thing, here are choice frames to choose from:

Apart from sunglasses, there are geek chic lenses for you, fabulous four eyed friends. These have the classic Prada logo on the temples.

Buy your Prada Portrait sunnies and see the rest of the collection at Adora, LS Pascual Rockwell/Shangri-la, Sarabia Rockwell and Almeda Shangri-la.

Summer 2013 Sunnies: Bvlgari

Bvlgari sunnies are business in front, party on the sides.

from the Brilliant Cut collection

less bling-y but just as sparkly, from the Pavé Variaty collection

The highlight of the season would be this pair from the Serpenti Collection. Check out the snake coloured enamel scales on the temples...

...with a temple tip that delicately recalls the snake tail.

Given the glamorous lola vibe of Bvlgari sunnies for women, ever wonder what Bvlgari frames for guys look like? Quite classic actually. Maybe something Eddie Gutierrez would wear?

Summer Sunnies 2013: Dolce & Gabbana

Do you know what D in D&G stands for? It's for Donya. Yes, "Donya". Because these D&G Sicilian Baroque sunnies are just so "Donya". I love the ornate relief design of gilded roses and unfurling foliage on sunglasses - it's like jewelry and sunnies rolled into one:

twine of roses and foliage in baroque style on the front...

...and on the temples

There's a less elaborate design, without the roses on the front. It's less "in your face", but just as gorgeous.

What I noticed from this season's collection of sunnies at BLI, and this is across all brands, is the focus on details. Little details that may or may not be instantly noticeable, but make a pair of sunnies special. Like the chain link detail on the temples of this pair...

Or the ubiquitous D&G logo on this one...

These D&G sunnies are available at LS Pascual Optical Rockwell and Shangri-la, Almeda Shangri-la, Almeda Shangri-la, Sarabia Rockwell and Adora.

Summer 2013 Sunnies: Miu Miu Culte Collection

The amazing Pentagon sunnies from Miu Miu's Culte Collection - comes in brushed metal, chamoise and black frames

Of all the sunnies I loved at the BLI showroom in Makati, I went home with the light-colored, suede framed sunnies in the middle (see above photo) from Miu Miu. Most of my sunglasses play around black, grey, dark brown and tortoise frames so lately, I've been on the lookout for lighter colored frames to add to my collection.

It was actually a toss up between these and classic sunnies from Oliver Peoples (which is also love!) but the BLI girls made it easier for me when they said, go for the Miu Mius! So ok, that's settled! Tadaaaa!

When I got home, still giddy with joy because I had new sunnies for this sweltering summer, I started Googling about them and realized, OMG. I am wearing celebrity sunnies! Haha. Check out Miranda Kerr, Rihanna, Diana Agron, Leighton Meester etc all in the brushed metal version (top of topmost photos above) of my sunnies, which incidentally, is also exclusively available here in the Philippines at Adora in Greenbelt 5.

They're definitely cute, and the brushed metal frames have a rockstar/celebrity quality to them. Except the metal frames are also quite heavy, pare. Here are other whimsically designed sunnies from the Miu Miu Culte Collection, which if I am not mistaken, are from the Apple line (notice the slight curve on the lens?):

This is just the Miu Miu collection! Wait for more of my posts on the hottest shades of summer from BLI. In the meantime, for updates, follow LuxuryEyewearPH on Twitter and Instagram and Like them on Facebook!
