sunglasses.

I am in a constant struggle to find a pair of new sunglasses. 
the first struggle is if i really need a new pair... i have a pair of Karen Millens from about 3 years ago which i love; dark tortoise shell, round & quite big... but its been so long since i shopped for sunglasses i feel as if i should buy some. while on holiday last year i tried heaps of Ray-Bans on trying to find a style i loved - all looked terrible on me - and now im off on holiday soon i feel as if i should get some new ones.
second struggle is of course, cost. i absolutely LOVE Marc Jacobs and Chloe sunnies... however my student budget most definitely doesn't stretch that far...

Marc Jacobs

Chloe

im a big fan of the tortoise shell effect and them to be BIG. they make you look glamorous and important without even trying.  they're effotlessly classic and ooze sophisitication. 

i cant seem to find a cheaper pair that i love as much as these two... to be fair, the marc jacobs are only $85 (so probs like £80) compared to the like £180 chloe ones... but thats still not worthy enough to spend what little money i have on...

after browsing topshop and h&m, i still hadn't found any cheap pairs i really liked... so i bought a REALLY cheap pair from primark for my car (always forget sunnies when driving) and i have given in to wearing them out and about too as i love the bigness and the gold detail on the side... they just look like quite cheap which is a letdown. 

i have searched most high street shops and still cant find a semi-cheap pair i really like which leads me on to the third struggle, the fact that i still do really like my current Karen Millen sunglasses!

this seems to be a common feeling amongst sunnie lovers who get bored of sunglasses quickly... the battle of wether to splurge on a new pair or not...

when pay day arrives... and i am sitting in south terminal... i may be encouraged to purchase a new designer pair, but for now il have to stick with my oldies and forever wish for Mr Jacobs and Miss Chloe to appear at £4.99...
