What better time than now, with a bright summer sun blasting through my window, to team up with Warby Parker and share with you my lovelies, their newest collection of sunglasses – the Downing Summer.*
Sunglasses are a must for everyone, anytime… So relax, grab a cup of tea and enjoy some macaroons while scrolling down this post for more details and suggestions!
Now called Downing, the new Summer 2015 Collection of Warby Parker sunglasses comes with two new, limited edition fun colours: Striped Indigo and English Oak, along with the already available variations: Walnut Tortoise and Jet Black. They will definitely be the IT pair of sunglasses for the sunny season ahead, as are extremely versatile!
All Warby Parker acetate sunglasses are made of premium cellulose acetate, produced in Italy by a family-owned company with 150 years of tradition in the field. The classic frame is flawless and it comes equipped with the best polarised lenses on the market at the moment.
You will be able to order them starting today, June 9, online and in stores.
Here you have the entire collection in pictures:
As you can see these are universal sunglasses that can be worn easily by both men and women, regardless any personal style or occasion. They can be dressed down and worn with a casual outfit adding that quirky, unique touch to your look, but they can also easily be paired with a polished look – the way I would definitely wear them.
My favourite pair is the new and limited edition Stripped Indigo. And here you have a little collage on how I’d style them, for a smart-casual look to wear when I go out for a brunch with the girls.
OUTFIT DETAILS:
- sunnies – Warby Parker Downing Summer Striped Indigo
-
vest – MANGO
-
jeans – Zara
-
shoes – Smiling Shoes
-
bag – Fendi
-
belt – Salvatore Ferragamo
Which pair of Downing sunglasses is your favourite? How would you style it?
Take a selfie with your Warby Parker Downing Summer 2015 favourite and upload it on your social media accounts under the #seesummerbetter for everyone to see it!
See you soon, beautiful!
xx, Annie
Thank you Brian for this lovely collaboration!

Oh I miss having thunderstorms! We rarely get them here. It’s always sunny everyday lol. Today Ron and I will be going to pick up a few things for our little getaway this weekend. Tomorrow we are going to stay at a resort at Mt. Charleston. It’s only 45 min away but I hope to get a lot of nice pictures of the scenery up there. We’re just staying one night. I tried to convince him to stay a couple but he doesn’t want to leave our cat alone for too long lol. I think she likes it when we’re gone sometimes though. While we’re up there I’m hoping to go on one of their easier hiking trails to see a waterfall. I hope that it will be open. I love waterfalls and haven’t really seen one in person. So after we move back to Michigan I want to try to convince Ron to take me to see Niagara Falls eventually. 😀 Do you have any fun plans?? I hope you’re day is going great! Lots of xx ❤ ❤
