Product review: ORIGINAL WAYFARER SHADES (Rayban)

Now that the sun is shining in Britain, it's important to shield one's eyes from the scorching sun, whilst also looking the part. I have several pairs of sunglasses, but, due to my fixation with Nabokov's Lolita, they predominantly tend to be heart-shaped. I've seen characters in films ooze swag in Ray-ban sunglasses before, most memorably Emma Stone in Easy A when she struts down the hall wearing wayfarers and a basque and everyone gawps at her. 

Turn My Swag On, Amsterdam Edition.

I treated myself to a little excursion in the Dutch capital this week, as a reward for getting past the first hurdle of my PhD. I was there for just two nights, so not too long, but enough to appreciate the extremely liberal, laid-back vibe of the city.

Whilst there, I wore three dresses, so here be my outfits.

Toga: Miss Selfridge

Belt: Accessorize

Sandals: TK Maxx (seen in more detail in a later outfit)

On Thursday, a friend and I visited Ann Veronica Janssen's installation/exhibit at the Wellcome collection. Basically, you enter a room which is pumped with coloured mist, the colour of which changes throughout, and in doing so, altering your mood with the colour. I bought along my Moschino Lolita sunglasses and a lot of photos were taken!

a usual OOTD:

dress - Quiz

earrings - Topshop

All this making the most of being in London is turning out to be rather good fun!
