Item of the Week: Prada 'Minimal Baroque' Sunglasses





Every summer I find a pair of Prada sunglasses to completely obsess over. Last year it was the 'Postcard' sunnies, and this year it's the amazing 'Baroque' ones. Prada has some genius marketing with the S/S sunglass collection, from videos to illustrations to photo collages. 




Of course, my favourite is the weirdest one: this stylish bird by Ivo Basignano. The bird lady is wearing the magnificent 'Deluxe Baroque' which are so beautifully ornate, but maybe not super timeless (hey, sunnies are an investment!) like the simpler frame.




I just love Prada's whole concept this time around. So bold, so fun: exactly what fashion should be.

$290 US at Prada

PS. How many sunnies do you own? I only have two pairs (not counting the cheap disposable ones). Shame on me.

I have 4 beautiful pairs and am a little embarrassed about it. But I swear I won't buy another, at least not this year ;)

These sunglasses are amazing! It's funny, whenever I see a Prada collection it usually takes me 2-3 months to digest and really "get" it, and then I love it. If you'd asked me about these sunglasses a couple months ago I would've been pretty ambivalent. :)

As for how many pairs I own, just 2 (Chanel and Ray-Ban Wayfarers).

Lisa!

I also have Chanels and a pair of Wayfarers (mine are Marc though). Gotta love the classics!

I need these Pradas :)

I have the exact ones on the top (brown/tortoiseshell) baroque sunglasses.. They're awesome and I get a lot of looks on them.. The only problem is, um, the scrolls literally get STUCK in my hair! If I pull them up on my head and try to pull them down or off my hair pulls up with them..

Other than that they are pretty amazing but I dont know how I'm going to get around the hair situation lol

love your blog! I'm a new follower
