All Things Kate: Spring Has Sprung!

Yes, it seems as though I decided to skip straight from the new year to Spring. There isn't much to report from in between - all I remember is snow, snow and more snow! But the snow piles have melted, the sun has returned and I've got my shades on ready to embrace Spring!


First thing is first when that sun comes out - Sunglasses! Not only is it important to protect your eyes from the rays, but sunglasses are a great way to mix up your style everyday!





Yes, it looks like the over-sized, exaggagerated frames are here to stay! But why not mix it up from your basic black and try a bright color or print? The perfect way to add a punch of color to your Spring wardrobe. Looking for a new shape? Try out the cateye or shield styles - if you dare. Even better, make your face sparkle even more by choosing frames with fun embellishments!





The best part about trying out new sunglasses is that if they look absolutely awful, all you have to do is take them off and move onto the next pair. Sunglasses don't seem to hurt the ego quite as much as skinny jeans in the dreaded dressing room mirrors :)





I have aquired quite the selection of sunglasses over the last few summers, but I am absolutely loving my newest pairs! I chose a very subtle zebra print, that I wasn't totally sure about when I saw them, but when I put them on I fell in love. My second pair I decided to go with a color - purple! The frames are perfect for the sunny days that we are all enjoying right now!

Beyonce might be the only person who can rock these!

So, do tell, what's your sunglasses style? Do you stick to one pair and wear them all year round? Or do you like to mix it up depending on your mood and outfit for the day?
