See our 14 statement sunglasses picks »

Sunglasses for spring may not be considered entirely groundbreaking, but this season it’s time to cast aside the traditional aviators and think bigger, brighter, and bolder. Added bonus: a pair that blocks 100 per cent of UVA and UVB rays protects your eyes from being damaged so picking up a couple pairs is really for your health.

The Spring 2013 runways got us thinking about oversized and unique frames but Ron Arad’s out of this world frames sold us on the fact that statement sunglasses are the one accessory we really need. The Israeli architect has not only created completely new shapes for frames but has transformed how they are made by making them completely adjustable, hingeless and only using one piece of material for an entire pair. If that isn’t taking sunglasses to a new and more innovative place, we don’t know what is.

This warm-toned sleeveless blouse is the perfect piece to pair with blazer for sophistication or a cardigan for a comfort. ($40, lechateau.com)

I might not be donning an Oscar gown this weekend, but who says I can’t partake in the bling? I’ll be pairing this baby with some gunmetal chains and a simple tee for an Oscar-watching fete. ($45, lechateau.com)

The army green hue of this hobo-style handbag from Le Château ($20, lechateau.com) taps into this season’s military trend, but the tassel and slightly slouchy feel are more boho chic. And now you don’t have to go all the way to the mall to pick it up: The Montreal-based retailer launched their e-commerce site yesterday.

After the LBD, a classic, tan trench is every woman’s wardrobe staple–so think of this one from Le Château ($100, lechateau.ca) as not only a steal, but a style investment.
