Sunglasses are the most important summer accessory, and with the prominent use of fluorescent colours, exaggerated angles, curves, and metallic detail shown in this summer's collections, I've been in search for the perfect pair of sunglasses to accompany the futuristic look. The problem I found was trying to find a pair that pulled off the style without looking like they came out of a fancy dress shop. Enter [AM Eyewear](http://www.ameyewear.com)and [Karen Walker](http://www.karenwalker.com); both hailing from Australia their designs are exactly what the fashion doctor ordered for this summer!
