How to Style White Sunglasses

White sunglasses are more than just a summer accessory – they’re a year-round statement piece that adds a touch of effortless cool to any outfit.  You may think that they are too bold for you, but trust me, these work with every outfit, complexion and style. 

Whether you’re looking for chic, bold, or casual vibes, these standout shades are a must-have in your fashion arsenal. In this post, I show you how to style white sunglasses in 2024 and elevate your look. Let's dive in:

In the world of fashion, sunglasses are often the go-to accessory that completes any look. But why white?

They bring a modern, fresh vibe that’s both elegant and edgy, making them the perfect accessory for any occasion. Plus, they’re versatile and can be paired with almost any color, style or print. It's no wonder fashion influencers are raving about them this season.

White sunglasses are the perfect addition to any fashion-forward wardrobe. They can even help transition your summer wardrobe to Fall.

Loewe Greenhouse, Marbella Club Hotel

Tucked away through the lush gardens of the iconic Marbella Club Hotel, is the Loewe Greenhouse, a luxe, home accessories oasis which is an offshoot of the brand's popular leather goods line.  The structure is a literal greenhouse, filled with botanical plants, perfumes, home fragrances, candles, lotions, and bar soaps.  Two young salespersons are at the helm. They inform me that the marihuana scent is unsurprisingly the top seller.  This scent, like the others, can be found in all of the products sold here. With scents like Wasabi, Tomato Leaves, Incense, and Cypress Balls, there's something for everyone.  Can you guess what I picked up?

The Colony Hotel West Palm Beach & Swifty's Restaurant Review

We recently stopped by the iconic Colony Hotel in West Palm Beach to have brunch at Swifty's Restaurant, their on-site eatery, which offers great fare in a chic and relaxed pool-side setting.  Swifty's Palm Beach carries on in the spirit of the beloved New York, Upper East Side institution that closed in 2016.  

For breakfast, I recommend the Full Vegan Colony Breakfast or The Benedicts (sauce on the side, of course!) or The Colony Breakfast (photo below). If you're hungrier, start off with some Gazpacho, or go with the Bacon Wrapped Designer Meatloaf as an entree. 

After you've finished eating, stop in for some shopping at the Dolce & Gabbana boutique inside the hotel.

Easy vacation outfit!

For brunch, I wore a cutout top from Tularosa which is a few year's old and a draped, loose sage green skirt from Zara (I found a similar one on Amazon and an almost identical one here.)

 Also, I'm bringing back the turban trend from 2012! This one is from Ulta. My metallici clutch bag is the only new item featured in these photos. I've linked similar items below.

There is not one square inch of this hotel that is not covered in something chic. From the wallpaper to light fixtures, upholstery and the accent plants - they thought of it all.  There's a Dolce & Gabbana boutique in the hotel lobby, monkey and flamingo wallpaper throughout. And talk to me about the beautiful pink marble interiors in the bathroom? Unique and beautiful.  Also, my outfit was unintentionally retro which matched the theme. 

The styling on this outfit is all about the loose pieces that drape in different ways.  I also feel like a boxy, lace cut-out top, like the one I'm wearing here, is a summer staple. You can style it in so many ways, such as with high
