Inspo: Bardot in St. Tropez


In her element as a Tropézienne, Brigitte Bardot cultivated an effortless, tousled, laid-back brand of glam that was all her own. The actress, style icon, and animal activist had a natural sex appeal and carefree spirit – the opposite of her tightly corseted bombshell contemporaries Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. Her easygoing glamazon aesthetic was a breath of fresh air to beach babes (and bros, of course) when she hit the scene in the 1950′s, and continues to inspire today.

Style File: Mirrored Sunglasses

Simultaneously timeless and trendy, mirrored sunglasses have been part of the pop culture fashion zeitgeist since Maverick and Goose rocked them at Top Gun Naval Flight School. While we’ll always be suckers for the classic Ray-Ban silver mirrored aviators, we’re also majorly crushing on colored mirror lenses as a fun variations for Spring. Which do you dig – the classic silver mirrored frame, or the colored mirror varieties in these inspo images?
