The piece: Emma Chamberlain x Crap Eyewear The Star Child Sunglasses [1]
The price: $75
Why I want it: For years I shopped for sunglasses that had a long shelf life — expensive designer lenses that wouldn't get old because their styles were classic. Sunglasses belonged on the short list of things I splurged on, and I wore the same pair for years. But why shouldn't I experiment with trends, colours, or fun shapes [2] at a fair price point? Especially when YouTuber Emma Chamberlain [3] has created such funky designs, all of which retail for under $100. I honestly think I'd feel like Penny Lane in this tinted star-shaped design, but The Prima Donna, dazzling in blue, and The Oliver, named after Emma's cat [4], make my smile stretch just as wide. Emma's bright, quirky aesthetic mirrors my own, so I'm not sure why I've never ventured over into the wild sunglasses camp — that is, until now. Now, I realise that's right where I belong.
