I haven’t always been a fan of the Chanel 5018 Sunglasses that made their debut during the Chanel Spring/Summer 2007 line….but for some reason, I now want a pair.
The half-opaque, half-translucent lenses are hard to pull off, and reminded me of Arthur when Mary Kate wore them earlier this year during Paris fashion week.
Nicole Richie wore them throughout her pregnancy and has been seen all over wearing them again recently…and to me looks great in them.
Everyone from my boo in my head Pharrell to Lindsay Lohan has a pair…and as you know, I am willing to go through great measures to get my hands on things I want (must I remind you of how I am willing to tap dance naked for a pair of Yves St. Laurent heels?)
After seeing this picture of Jennifer Lopez in half-tint sunglasses (which I am still trying to figure the designer of) I am now on a search to find a reasonably priced pair, considering a pair of Chanel 5018 sunglasses at a Chanel store or on ebay an run well over $300….on ebay I found some up to $500.
80s Purple have a Chanel 5018 inspired pair for only $13
Asos of course have a Chanel 5018 inspired pair for only $21
For a pair of half-tint sunglasses, I found these by Dita for $225.
I am soooooo glad I came to your site. Ever since I saw Jennifer Lopez wearing the sunglasses
in that picture, I been trying to find an aunthetic looking knock-off of the glasses. They are serious business & she looks great in them. I feel the same way about the Chanel glasses, too. Thanks for the inspired info…gonna have to check them out!
I GOT SUM I GOT SUM!!! OK, WELL THEY ARE VINTAGE BUT OOOOHHH WEEEEEE
I have myself a pair of Chanel 5018 and i will never let them GO
