I visited my Granddad today, and my mum wanted to look in a box of which my Grandma collected things in before she sadly passed away a few years ago. Inside the box were things from old Stockings to a World War 1 Army uniform. My Grandma loved exploring, especially in Canada, one of her favourite places of all. I also found a small broken bag of sunglasses inside their very old cases. They included vintage Wayfarers to broken-in-half glasses with no lenses. But, there was one case which caught my eye. Inside, were a pair of American ‘Polaroid’ Cat Eye Sunglasses, which were owned by my mum’s Grandma. The pair are a bit wonky, and they are fading in colour, but I reckon, still very fashionable; especially with the latest trends of Cat Eyes.

When I was looking in the box, it reminded me of a good book which I have on my stack of Fashion Books, ‘Dreaming of Dior’ by Charlotte Smith; which I do recommend. It is full of tales of fashion-istas in their troubles and joys etc.
