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?

Accessorize: Saffron James Beach Blankets

Nothing spices up sunning the ol’ buns like an ultra-fabulous beach blanket – and lately, we’re obsessing over the brightly colored and printed offerings from Saffron James. The only thing better than one appears to be three layered over each other, as shown in this fab shot from a recent BikiniBird editorial. The blankets are currently out of stock online (silent tear), but you can bet your bottom dollar that we’ll be checking back daily to nab a few as soon as they’re in stock!
