In Which I Discover the World's Perfect Pair of Aviator Sunglasses: The Marc by Marc Jacobs MMJ 119/S Aviators

For my entire life, I've been under the impression that I can't wear aviator sunglasses. Well, that may have been the case ... but now that I've discovered the Marc by Marc Jacobs MMJ 119/S Aviator Sunglasses (unfortunate name, but what can you do), I'm convinced otherwise.

For starters, I love the subtly oversized silhouette. Maybe I tried on aviators that were too small in the past -- but they always made me look like a bug. These, thankfully, do not -- and the dark brown lenses framed by gleaming gold metal just feel so Top Gun.

Not to mention they come in this super awesome case:



Seriously, I'm fairly certain I just found my sunglasses soul mate.

Marc by Marc Jacobs MMJ 119/S Aviator Sunglasses retail for $85. I won them from a Twitter contest with Lord & Taylor.

  2. Those are fabulous. I am absolutely in love with my Ray Bans, but I might need to invest. I love your blog. It's a fantastic mix.
