Helter Skelter

I'm thinking that for my upcoming 21st (excite!!!) I'll buy myself a pair of Karen Walker's Helter Skelter sunnies - have been lusting after them since they first came out. And as I buy myself a birthday present every year I am thinking this is the perfect excuse.

God I love them; the delicate gold, ugly/awesome tortoiseshell, retro (and borderline nerdy - which of course is excellent) shape.

Helter Skelter Makes The List

Oh wow, Karen Walker's Helter Skelters (I covet so much) are one of Refinery 29's 5 Warm Weather Essentials For Him. Def the best thing on that list - followed v closely by the chambray shirts (really want one of those also).

Karen Walker Eyewear: Fall 09

The new Karen Walker Eyewear collection for Fall 09 has just come out and is up on their website - but a few days ago I found (and fell in love with) this pair in tortoiseshell in a shop in Ponsonby...

... I love the retro quality, and the metal details - I'm somewhat over all the big heavy frames (lately I've been thrashing my faux-clubmasters - so much so that I think I'll invest in a real pair). They just seem a bit more interesting and refined.

The rest of the eyewear is great too - lots of black, tortoiseshell and metal details (veering away somewhat from the candy brights of the past few collections. And I love the use of the vampire teeth in the shots!
