Heartbreak Summer

This Indian summer has turned wistful – or maybe that’s just me, knowing that autumn weather is really just round the corner. But no matter the season, sunglasses are always necessary, and I always carry a pair in my bag.

These Cross My Heart sunglasses from No A have become my favourite this summer, not least because they merge seamlessly with the themes in my fine artwork! Also, I love round glasses – small, vintage style ones and oversize versions like these. But more than anything, these are just irresistibly funny.

Sometimes I forget when I am wearing them in the busy streets or crowded trams, and wonder why the person opposite me is staring so hard – and then I remember and chuckle inwardly.

You can still own a pair yourself, although they are now available only in tortoiseshell.

Picture Note:
The beach photograph was taken by myself a couple of years ago on Rainbow Beach, Far North Queensland.
