SO, WHAT NEXT?
So, I promised you that a new 30 Days would be starting today.
Unfortunately, owing to technical difficulties (read: getting thrown off the internet constantly by our really rubbish Virgin Media modem) I’m going to have to postpone until tomorrow morning when I can actually use a steady connection that doesn’t resemble a bucking bronco.
But hopefully the wait will be worth it!

DAY SIXTEEN
DAY SIXTEEN: Black and gold oversized sunglasses, Dorothy Perkins
A few months ago - long before 30 Days was a reality - the lovely ladies from Dorothy Perkins got in touch with me and asked me if I’d like to pick a pair of sunnies from their new DP Collection at Dorothy Perkins. Never one to turn down a pair of sunnies, I picked this awesome oversized pair, which are the perfect foil to my casual outfit for a round of appointments in the rain this morning (although obviously, these stayed in my bag until the sun came out). They’re still available online for a bargainous £15, click the link above to pick up your own pair.
Worn with: Black skinny jeans, Topshop; White tee, Asos; Leopard print cardigan, Topshop; Green military jacket, Da Nang; Black Chuck Taylors, Converse; Yellow satchel, Asos; Gold glasses necklace, Zena & Me.

DAY NINE
DAY NINE: Red vintage-style sunglasses, Primark
Since I have suspected tonsilitis, I’m not really feeling to have my picture taken today, so Holly the Dachshund very graciously stepped in to be my model this evening.
These are another Primark purchase from a while ago two years ago, possibly longer and I don’t really wear them much anymore as the lenses are pretty scratched up but I love their shape as they remind me of a pair my maternal grandmother used to wear.
Worn with (dachshund): Nothing but a grimace.
Worn with (human): black tee, Asos; Grey skinny jeans, Uniqlo; Black Chuck Taylors, Converse; Blue leopard-print cardigan, M&S; Grey leather biker, Topshop; Black scarf, unknown; Yellow satchel, Asos; Two oversized tonsils.

DAY FIVE
DAY FIVE: Leopard-print sunglasses, Primark
I bought these one sunny Saturday when the pair that had previously been gracing my face literally fell apart in front of my face. A quick dash around Primark and £1 later, these were sitting pride of place.
Seeing as I got my nails done in a mint green and black leopard print by Wah! Nails last night, I thought it only fitting to wear these today.
Worn with: White slubby tee, Asos; Blue skinny jeans, Miss Selfridge; Blue espadrilles, Penelope Chilvers; Grey star hoodie, Olga di Polga; Military jacket, Da Nang; Yellow satchel, Asos.

DAY ONE
DAY ONE: Military issue Aviators
So, welcome to another 30 Days! Join me as I continue working through my vast collection of accessories, as the weather’s finally improving, I thought it might be nice to move on to sunglasses. To kick things off, I’d like to introduce you to my military issue aviators. Oh Aviators, schmaviators I hear you cry. Well, I bet yours fall off when you dangle upside down, don’t they?
Not these ones. I picked them up a few years ago when I was working on a film that had lots of military stuff - they have special flexible arms which hook around the back of your ears so that when you’re flying planes upside down and the such they stay firmly in place. In tribute to them, I’ve decided to channel Top Gun for the rest of my outfit today.
Worn with: Cotton khaki playsuit, Primark; White vest, H&M; Gold ant necklace, Links of London. Not pictured: Gold sandals, Topshop; Yellow leather satchel, Asos.

ANOTHER 30 DAYS…
Hello and welcome to another installment in the 30 Days series. As an ode to the sun finally breaking through (about bloody time), I’ve decided to introduce you to my vast collection of sunglasses, which rank up there with shoes in my all-time-obsessions hall of fame.
Over the next 30 days, I’ll be wearing a different pair of sunnies from my collection every day and documenting them on here. Let’s get started, shall we?
