Our latest crush is on tortoise shell. There is something so classic about the look of it. After all, it pretty much goes with everything and it looks like this trend is popping up more and more in both fashion and interiors. Women’s Wear Daily recently commented, “Tortoise shell effects are coming out of hiding for fall, cropping up on the requisite sunglasses, as well as shoes, bags and baubles.” Amen to that!

Take a look at a few of our favorite tortoise shell accessories:

We’ve all had a pair of tortoise shell sunglasses in our lifetime. Here is Alexander McQueen’s updated take on the classic style.

But what we’re REALLY loving is how it translates to interior design. Here are a few of the many ways to incorporate tortoise into your home:
