See, I told you those shorts would come in handy eventually! Now that the sunshine is out and the sport season is upon us, sunglasses are not only the ultimate style accessory they are also great for protecting your eyes from the sun when you are going for that Venus Williams serve on the tennis court. The question I always struggle with is whether to invest in a timelessly stylish designer pair which will last me a few years or give in to my urge to follow current trends. The answer is simple, do both! Firstly, invest in a great pair of designer sunnies, these will set you back anything from £150 to £700 depending on how extravagant you are feeling. Remember though, these are for keeps! So look for classic styles and a shape that will suit your face, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols have excellent selections and assistants who will help you pick the right pair. These are great as a staple for you wardrobe for winter sun, driving, skiing and that cheeky February holiday you know you’ll probably be taking!

The next thing to do is to buy a couple of trendy pairs that you can use for everyday wear and to trendy-up an outfit, this season I love these blue ones from M&S, hard to place (they could easily be designer) and really cheap! These ones from Gap are also great and will add a touch of 70s glamour to any outfit.

Have fun and enjoy the sun!
