Shady September : Anna-Karin Karlsson

It has to be said us Mice are suckers when it comes to a good set of shades, we've bought you Retro with RaybansShades with Sass and Jimmy does more than just Choos blog posts ALL dedicated to sunglasses. Well now here's one more to add to the 3BM collection, this time Anna-Karin Karlsson takes centre stage - fierce, fabulous and blows all eyewear boundaries - this Swedish designer injects the sun in sunglasses in my opinion!
