As you may have noticed by now, I'm a huge fan of sunglasses; they're a really simple accessory that can help make an outfit pop. The right eye-wear, especially during the sunny summer months, really is the perfect accessory to finish off your look. So when ASOS wanted to partner to show off some of their amazing new eyewear, I was super excited to test drive a few new styles.

I've been seeing a lot of vintage sunglasses around lately, and I love the classic 90's shapes. I'm not a huge fan of the "micro" sunglasses trend (you know, those really slim, Matrix-looking sunglasses?), and they don't really flatter my face. Instead, I chose small, oval-shaped lenses rimmed in gold. This is a truly classic style that goes with basically anything. I tried two styles: one with a typical black lens from Weekday, and one with a rainbow gradient lens. The rainbow gradient is definitely my new favorite pair in rotation, and will definitely be popping up with me on my next trip to Coachella!

What do you think of these sunglasses? Are you a fan of the throwback trend in menswear? Let me know in the comments!

You guys have probably all seen this coat by now. You know the one - the oversized, drapey, perfect camel coat I've been posting all over Instagram for the past few weeks? Well that coat, a recent pickup by Stella McCartney via Saks Fifth Avenue, just happens to be my new favorite, and I don't feel at all guilty for showing it off. The fit is impeccable, the color is the perfect balance for a camel - not too pink, not too brown - and it's one of the softest coats I've ever worn. To be honest this coat was made for me, and it was my random dumb luck to have stumbled upon it, ON SALE no less, at Saks this past month.

I've been trying to find as many ways to style the piece as I can. Not because it's difficult to do, but because I keep wearing it so often that I basically have to mix the rest of my outfit so I don't look like an outfit repeater!

I thought it would be interesting to try the coat in two ways: one, a classic, streamlined look, and two, a more sporty streetwear-inspired style. Below, I show two ways I've been wearing this coat lately, and truthfully I can't decide which style I prefer.

What do you think - classic, or streetstyle? Let me know in the comments!
