Looking on the Bright Side

Recently I've been reading a lot of trash. I have the December issue of US Vogue sitting on my coffee table just waiting to be read, but at the moment I have the patience of a fly (I guess because it's the end of the year?) and only feel like reading gossip magazines. So I know a lot about Tiger Woods at the moment, who is in every gossip mag.

The one thing I've learnt from his affairs is that his wife, Elin Nordegren, looks amazing in aviators. I know this is possibly the most unimportant fact in the whole Tiger Woods affair story, but everyday when I open up the paper and see another picture of Elin she's always looking fabulous in her shades.

Above are my two favourite Elin pairs. The top pair are by Chanel, and I seem to remember (after studying this image in the Metro last week) that the bottom pair are by Ray Ban, although I'm not 100%.
There's a great pair of Elin-style aviators by Michael Kors currently at Net-A-Porter for £89. I also think Jennifer Aniston would look good in them.


Whatever happens with her marriage at least Elin could build a great career in eyewear modelling. I'm already tempted to buy some aviators now, and they really don't suit me. We know she likes Chanel and we know Karl likes blondes, so who knows what might happen....

Has anyone else noticed her great taste in shades?

She looks ok but then I am not a huge fan of sunglasses. I do love your new header.

Love how you managed to pull a trend story out of the increasingly boring Tiger Woods affair. I agree, she has great taste in sunglasses and knows what looks good on her.

aviators are meant to suit every face shape! i've never really been a huge fan but that could change, she does indeed look amazing..

Nicolette Jolie said...

i'm glad someone else noticed this besides me! she may be going through an incredibly difficult time, but at least all of her photos in the press look great.

if any finds out about what kind she's wearing in the second photo let me know! nickididia@mac.com

i like aviators, but my favourite ray-bans are the clubmasters. ever since i say kristen stewart rock them in dazed and confused i realised they are such wicked shades.

Indigo said...

Its funny you should blog about this because I was thinking the same thing the other day. I love her in the top pair.
The new header looks amazing!

All Women Stalker said...

This actually has crossed my mind! And made me want to ditch my wayfarers and buy aviators. haha

Dear Author www.cocosteaparty.com !
Quite right! It is good idea. I support you.

Is your partner always late for your dates? Missed all the special occasions and even forgot your anniversary? Smelled him with a woman’s perfume and can’t get hold of his mobile phone now?

THEN IT MIGHT BE THE RIGHT TIME TO SEE IF YOUR LOVER IS CHEATING ON YOU! FIND PROOFS OF CHEATING FIRST-HAND ALL BY YOURSELF WITHOUT THE THREAT OF EMBARRASSMENT, LOSS AND EMOTIONAL DOWNFALL.

Resurface from that stagnant state of lies and deceit and start anew after surviving a third-party situation.

i think she looks a bit like sienna miller, too. she makes me want to go get some aviators.

L▲UREN said...

ahah i actually noticed how good elin is in aviators i think in this week's grazia! you are right, in that the bottom photo she is wearing ray bans. they look SO good on her. i have never seen someone that suits aviators so well.

plaisirs simples said...

hilarious! i actually noticed the same thing!! YSL has a really great pair right now too that i featured one day. but in all seriousness, i hope elin finds the strength she needs in these tough times.
