A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Shade Station Summer Photoshoot!

Here at Shade Station, we’re already preparing for the summer season and recently held an exciting photoshoot showcasing an array of some of the hottest sunglasses and watches that are either available to buy now or will be in stock over the next month. The photos will be up on the site soon, but we thought we’d show you a sneak peek at some of the images and the designs to look forward to this summer!
We had two models who did a superb job of making our sunglasses and watches look effortlessly stylish! First we had Marcus, who aside from being a model is also in the band The Council, and Erica who beautifully modelled a wide selection of looks ranging from Hollywood glamour inspired to boho chic.
The brands appearing in the shoot included Ray-Ban, Tom Ford, Prada, Gucci, Adidas, Diesel, DKNY and Chanel to name only a few and the creative themes we selected were perfect to represent a cool and laid-back summer vibe!
The key sunglass styles to look out for this season definitely include oversized designs (for both men and women) as seen within the Tom Ford, BVLGARI, Dior and Oliver Peoples collections, sporty, as demonstrated in the Carrera, Dragon and Oakley ranges and colourful and retro – including Ray-Ban, Jee Vice, Pucci and Marc by Marc Jacobs. For watches, you still can’t go wrong with glitzy and glamorous using Guess watches and Juicy Couture watches as the perfect
examples, and also for the ladies, androgynous watches are a hot look, as seen in the collection of Fossil watches.
You’ll definitely be able to get a feel for the looks and trends when the pictures go live on our site but meanwhile, we hope you enjoy this exclusive behind-the-scenes peek at what’s to come this summer!

A Christmas Gift Essential – Marc by Marc Jacobs Watches
Guys, if you’re looking to find the perfect present for your female loved one this Christmas, may we give you a gentle nudge in the direction of the Marc by Marc Jacobs watches collection.

These watches can definitely be described as super cute. Eclectic, unique and sophisticated also spring to mind, and the use of characters in various designs such as
Miss Marc, also provides that fun element to fashion that Marc Jacobs is renowned for incorporating into his work.
If you want to go bold, the MBM4533 is a great option. The white polycarbonate bracelet strap ticks the trend factor box whilst the vibrant red diamante lips presented across the dial make for that super striking and surprising finish!
If the lady favours a more subtle look, the MBM1169 Marc by Marc Jacobs watch is a fabulous luxe and chic option. With a sleek black leather strap, this design features a black dial that is minimally styled with the Marc by Marc Jacobs lettering logo presented in gold.
For a really fun way of expressing the Marc by Marc Jacobs style, the MBM1148 watch is the way to go. The overall aesthetic remains simple with a black leather strap and
round dial, but the focal point is the Miss Marc character positioned on the dial along with the cheeky House of Cards theme that has become prominent throughout the Marc by Marc Jacobs line.
Every girl would be proud to own a Marc by Marc Jacobs watch as aside from being exceptionally high quality, they are also sought-after, fun and daring which really makes them stand out and provide something ultra striking and unique to your look.

On Every Fashionista’s Wish List- Marc by Marc Jacobs Watches!
Eclectic and Quirky Marc by Marc Jacobs Watches
American fashion designer Marc Jacobs is one of the most sought after designers in the world with his pieces seen on some of the most inspirational fashionistas in the industry.
If we’re honest, as much as we’d love to, many of us can’t afford to adorn ourselves in Marc Jacobs clothing and accessories and so therefore in 2001 Jacobs launched his Marc by Marc Jacobs diffusion line which now means that we can all look stylish in his pieces and still manage to keep our bank accounts (relatively) happy! Proving an immense success, from the moment it was showcased on the runway, all the style icons including Lauren Conrad Nicole Ritchie and Megan Fox were rushing out to be seen in Marc by Marc Jacobs and it quickly became one of the most prominent, hip and cool designer labels on the style scene.
We are incredibly excited to be getting a piece of the action at Shade Station with the arrival of Marc by Marc Jacobs watches; comprising of designs for men and women in addition to a selection of unisex styles that look equally cool on the guys and girls. The designer is famed for his love of quirky appeal and retro chic and this theme is definitely evident in the watch collection. The range is beautifully eclectic with features including stainless steel chunky straps or on-trend polycarbonate straps with textured links and bold dials with colourful time markers. The dial is usually the striking point of each watch; some with funky designed numbers presented in the images of ghosts and hearts for example, adding a sense of light-hearted fun to fashion which is representative of the designer’s personality! Some Marc by Marc Jacobs watches are also creatively jewellery inspired with daisy shaped pendant dials (daisies are a core part of the entire Marc by Marc Jacobs collection) on a necklace chain. Colour is a strong design element but is never too ostentatious, with the overall look of the watch remaining trendy, ultra stylish and statement.
For ladies who like to go glam and elegant, there is a Marc by Marc Jacobs watch to suit as well as watches to appeal to all of you quirky and eclectic style lovers. Many Marc by Marc Jacobs watches have the ability to transcend from day to night and the collection also features statement watches that are hugely on trend but with the Marc Jacobs vibrant, artistic and unique stamp.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs watch collection is definitely one that should be on your radar if you love designer fashion and will ensure that you score some serious style points! Funky, cool, quirky and unique – a Marc by Marc Jacobs watch is without doubt, a major must-have accessory of the season!
