Cat Eyes

Gifted Elizabeth and James Fairfax Sunglasses, Madewell Dress, Vintage Belt, Coach Bag, Hue Tights, Elizabeth and James Break Platforms, Essie “Well Red” Polish

I’ve been admiring the cat-eye sunglasses trend from afar for quite some time.  While I love the look on most people, it always seemed too dramatic or costume-y on me, so I just stuck with my oversized frames (here, here and here).  That all changed though, when I received these frames from the soon-to-launch eyewear line by Elizabeth and James.  They feel retro and bold, but without being too showy and I can only imagine the impact they’d make if paired with a red lip.

The sunglasses are great, but the Madewell dress is to die for!
Also the homemade twix was a great hit with everyone here too :o )
Thank you.

I have problems with cats eye glasses to – they can make my chubby little face look even chubbier. But these are a better shape, larger but with the same wing shape. I have heard a little bit already about this brand, looking forward to the full launch.

I like them a lot, it was time for a change in sunglasses style, those huge bug eye frames are so over.

I am a huge fan of cat eye sunglasses too. Surprisingly they look nice on my face too … The ones you have from Elizabeth and James are gorgeous, another brand that has a very stylish cat eye sunglasses is Tory Burch. And as all the previous comments note – your black lace dress is a killer – it would be perfect for the upcoming holidays too. What a great buy! Maybe a trip to Madewell is due for me this weekend …

Love your blog and I have been usually a silent reader but now that I have my own blog I wanted to stop by and officially say Hi.

Have a great day!

Gasp! I’ve been craving that dress since I saw it on Madewell a few weeks ago. I want to wear it to a December wedding. I’m crossing my fingers that it goes on sale by then, because I’ll be too cash-poor from holiday shopping to buy it at full price!

The dress is so flattering on you that I want it even more now. Agh!

116 Kate { 11.04.10 at 8:55 am }

Those are cute actually. Normally the cat eye is a little more dramatic I think as is the case with Tom Ford, but those one’s are toned down and I think perfect for someone wanting to try the look.

117 fashion junkie { 11.04.10 at 9:07 am }

I too have been eying the cat-eye trend for awhile now. I actually saw some really cute ones from Tom Ford that I need to have.
Anyway, you look lovely as always.

gutsy lady mixing black and brown but you totally pull it off of course! and I spy a pop of blue in there too! gorgeous all the way around. oh, and while I’m not much of a wearer of sunglasses, the shades are mighty glam. beautiful colored lenses.

They don’t look too much like cat eye glasses, which I think makes them more versatile. They’re subtle, yet unique.

158 ChiqueChic { 11.04.10 at 1:08 pm }

I love that your cat eye sunglasses have a bit of the wayfarer shape to them. They’ll definitely outlast the cat eye trend! Your shoes are so gorgeous!

You’re able to pull off a lot of different sunglass shapes, which is great. I don’t know if I have that quality or not because I tend to flock to the same shape over and over again! These are super cute. I’m excited to see their collection.

PS: Thanks for weighing in on the tin question. I have renewed faith in this home reno project now;)

172 Josie { 11.04.10 at 5:20 pm }

Oh, Emily, I’m absolutely ADORING this look! The sunglasses are so chic and I love that they’re cat-eye but have a larger lens. And they’re so perfect with that lace dress, which I must possess immediately. Beautiful.

I have been following your blog for a few months, and I absolutely love your personal style.

You inspired me to start my own blog just last month!

This post especially caught my eye since I just posted last week about my love for cat-eye sunglasses. Here’s the link: http://get-dressed.blogspot.com/2010/10/here-comes-sun.html

I hope you like it, I think you’re amazing!

I love these sunnies! I’ve had my eye on the ‘cat eye’ for some time now too, I think you’ve just convinced me to go for it! This whole look is stunning on you too.

XXXO

Those shades are fantastic! Any news as to when the eye wear line will be launching? Or should we just wait with anticipation? I love everything from the ladies at Elizabeth and James, I’ve always admired their entrepreneurial spirit and business-savvy minds!

god… what do you do for a living? I love your style and clothing… but at 28, I have a 6 year old son and NO parents… so basically I live through thrift stores….. your outfits give me inspiration, however I cant help but feel a tinge of jealousy because at my age I know I will never have what you do…. ho hum…

Madewell has some of the cutest dresses! I’m diggin the cat eyes, but I’m still partial to the aviators. Those are probably my favorite style of sunnies, hands down.
