I’ve been a fan of faux-tortoise or faux tortoiseshell accessories and jewelry for a long time now. Which is why I’m so excited to see it coming back into style!
You could always find the classic faux-tortoise sunglasses – those never really went out of fashion…

This one is by Michael Kors and features a chocolate brown Mother-of-pearl face with gold-tone accents on an acrylic body and strap.
I must admit, it’s the faux-tortoise shoes that really get me excited!

Several designers have used faux-tortoiseshell in their shoe designs, but this particular pair is Manolo Blahnik’s “Campari” patent Mary Jane.
Yummy!
