We’ve been away on a buying spree and enjoying the beautiful
long, hot, summer.
Sunshine lightens the
mood and makes us nostaligic for childhood summers; living outdoors and trips
to the seaside.
We have got a little
sentimental and bought some pretty cotton dresses, inspired by those our Mums
wore back in the 1950s/1960s, as well as some really cool vintage
accessories!
For starters, inspired by Don Henley's evocative song "The Boys Of Summer", "You got your hair slicked back and those
Wayfarers on, baby", we've been searching for an original vintage pair of Wayfarers, the must-have accessory for the summer.

We were delighted to find these stylish ebony black Ray-Ban Wayfarer II sunglasses, with dark green tint, which were a family
heirloom and in great condition for vintage.
If you want to stand out from the crowd this summer and look like
a superstar, then come and visit our
online Shop where you can purchase a pair of these iconic sunglasses.
