As we self-isolate and lock ourselves away either with loved ones or on our own, designer clothes and accessories has been the last thing on our mind.
But why not take this time to experiment with style and fashion while you have the chance, because there is going to be one hell of a party when this is over.
One accessory that is trending at the moment and quite relevant are sunglasses, and as we are soon coming into warmer climes, here are some cool options for you to run your eyes over.
Here is what James Everitt our fashion detective and photographer has to say:
Tianah, the founder and designer of Christianah Jones, has taken the fashion industry by a storm over the last couple of years.
Tianah
Tianah’s journey in creating Christianah Jones started during her time at Uni where instead of studying, she spent her time travelling to different countries: Cambodia, Thailand, China, Japan, Korea, Bali and Malaysia; where she discovered different cultures, and of different sunglasses. Tianah started collecting antique eyewear when she began selling them on Depop in 2016.
Whilst working, Tianah decided to design her collection which was inspired by her youth. Christianah Jones made its first debut at Afropunk London, 2017, and after a successful launch, Tianah continued this success with her collections which was praised by Kaia Gerber and became the items to wear for Bella Hadid & Beyoncé who have been long-standing fans ever since.
Christianah Jones has now become a well-known brand in accessory eyewear within the fashion industry and has been a well-known brand at London Fashion Week and is also now stocked in-store at Selfridges.
Christianah Jones best sellers at the moment are from the ‘Shady ’Collection, Shady 1.0, which by design are slim, oval, many people have fallen in love with this design, and you can see why it’s on the rise with being such a slick design, it ranges in colour: Green, Purple, Yellowfins and Blue.
Shady
You can purchase other designs such as the Shady 3LW in Back which by design is a diagonal rectangle at an angle, I love the design of these glasses as they have a distinctive character and as all the glasses can communicate the emotions that you a try to get across with your fashion sense on the day.
Cool Designs
With each pair of eyewear, there is a description of what material is commissioned, Lens width, Nose bridge size and temple length. My favourite part of finding out information on the sunglasses is some describe how they are typically worn, near the tip of your nose or as normal covering a high percentage of your eyes.
Since it was debut in 2017, Christianah Jones fans have grown astronomically within the fashion, music and film industry including rising names of Millie Bobbie Brown, Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga and Ciara…
Christianah Jones regularly hosts pop-up stores around London and most recently in New York and Paris which has proven to be a complete sell out.
While the rise of Christianah Jones is steady, it’ll be interesting to see what comes next for this fashion icon.

Crispy Egg & Parmesan Breakfast Buns
Easter is fast approaching – the festive period where eggs are being served up in abundance. In case your Easter weekend is still in need of the perfect breakfast food to kick off the celebrations with, try these quick and easy Egg & Parmesan Breakfast Buns. Crunchy on the outside, warm and gooey within, these special bakes are not only quick and effortless to prepare but also incredibly tasty thanks to the sharp and nutty flavour from the Parmesan and the saltiness from the cured ham. Let the celebrations begin!
Ingredients:For 4 Buns
4 bread rolls
4 tsp. crème fraiche
4 slices Parma ham or similar
4 small eggs
70 – 100g Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
Bunch fresh chives (alternatively parsley)
Black pepper to season
What you’ll need:
Baking tray with non-stick baking foil
Grater
Chopping board
Large bread knife
Sharp small knife
Teaspoon
Scissors
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (fan, middle-rack)
- Use a bread knife to cut the tops off the bread rolls, but make sure not to cut too low as there needs to be enough space for the egg without risking spillage.
- Scoop out the centre. Use a small sharp knife to cut around the edges before scooping out the centre.
- Fill each bread roll with a slice of cured ham, a teaspoon of crème fraiche and a raw egg. Then sprinkle some cracked black pepper on top, fresh chives (I use scissors to cut them) and a handful of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Put the top back on each roll and sprinkle some more Parmesan on top.
- Place the filled Breakfast Buns on a baking tray that has been lined with non-stick baking paper. Take some extra baking paper or aluminium foil to cover the buns as they would burn too easily if left uncovered.
- Bake in the oven for 10-20 minutes (depending on how runny the egg yolk should be). Check frequently to avoid burning of the buns but also whether the egg is set.
- As soon as the egg is cooked, remove from oven and serve immediately.

As we ramp up the restrictions on personal contact even more, we are reminded that life is fragile and gratitude for the things we normally take for granted are upmost on our minds.
Like popping into town to meet friends for a coffee or shopping for clothes – booking theatre or cinema tickets. The lists are endless, and now with this destructible virus, life as we know it is under threat.
We are hoping to give you a little glimmer of light each time we speak and suggest some ways of distracting all of us from the inevitable self-isolation and complete lockdown.
Some of us will cope better than others, and others will be devastated by the news. But one thing for sure, we will all be affected by this major turn of events.
Make a list
So, let’s begin with gratitude for everything we have, a roof over our head, loving family, food on the table, toilet roll (hopefully!) and then spare a though for the less fortunate, many of whom are on our own doorstep.
I know that in Britain we are famous for ‘keep calm and carry on’ but recent evidence has shown that seems to be no longer the case with all the panic buying, and perhaps gratitude is the one thing we have lost over the years and we are being reminded to get it back.
Oprah Winfrey
I am a great fan and follower of Oprah Winfrey who wakes up each morning and begins with Gratitude. Our wonderful Oprah who looks like she has everything in life, but that was not always the case, as she had a horrendous childhood and knows what it is like to go hungry. Besides which many of her guests have lost limbs in the war or are disabled, and she begins being grateful for her arms and legs.
If you are spiritual it all, is a known fact that gratitude is a great healer and is part of many mental health programmes.
