Tell me darlings, do you wear glasses? If so, where do you buy your frames?Do you like D&G's Fall 2008 ad campaign, pictured at left?
I noticed that American Apparel has started to carry a wider variety of frames, and most are in the $50 range . . . But of course thy are prescription-free, which is kinda fun, too! Glasses as accessory rather than necessity?
i don't wear eyeglasses but my sunglasses are always big and dark!
ReplyDeletethe d&g ads are....mmmm....unique :)

All I could see was the gossip girl couple. They should get together and have babies -well clearly not quite yet! but still-

ReplyDeleteI like the last ones.
FM
I don't but I'd like to! It's funny how glasses become so trendy by now.
ReplyDeletelove what glasses can do to an outfit! :)
ReplyDeletexoxo,

Oh yes, eyeglasses can make a statement, but I felt so hurt with the things kids told me in school when I began to wear them, that when I could use contact lenses it was one of the best days of my life.
ReplyDeleteSo I rarely wear them, but I always wear sunglasses.
Maybe if I got someone like you in school to help me I wasn't so traumatize :)
xoxo
whenever i wear my gucci black frame glasses, i think i look more intelligent. : )
ReplyDeletei obviously love glasses due to my profession so i'm LOVING the post you have of the fabulous glasses!! thanks for the awesome post :)

ReplyDeleteoh im loving all the geek chic on catwalks,particularly Luellas!

I wear glasses when I'm lounging around at home. They're these old frames I've had since high school and they look quite beat-up since I'm always falling asleep in them and such. I don't want to splurge on fantastic new frames because I know I'll nod off in them while reading.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching your 300th post yesterday!
Even though it took me a while to get the first pun (focus), I do agree that glasses are SPECtacular. I am guilty of popping out the lenses on sunglasses and wearing them as glasses.
ReplyDeleteI am starting to need glasses desperately, but I'm not going to give in as long as I can see what's on the computer screen. This is a computer I'm typing on, right? Because yesterday I typed a bunch of stuff on Henry the dog and it just annoyed him.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to wear glasses because I love the cool-geek look. And also becase I'm the biggest of geeks. It would suit me ;D But my eye doctor insists that I don't need it...
ReplyDeleteI wear glasses for my short-sighedness (well I shoud but I never do :P) Mine are a pair of Versace silver rectangular frames which IMO dont suit me. I'd really like to get some wayfarer style ones because I love my sunglasses!
ReplyDeleteyay! a rare pix of the stunning cc! :)
ReplyDeletei have an amaaaaaaazing collection of lafont frames including red with black and white polka dots, leopard and black which i got on various trips to the lafont stores in paris. and now lasik......so, all frames are being saved for potential reading glasses in far off future.......
but i love my sunnies. :)
i don't wear eyeglasses, but i always get my sunglasses from target.
ReplyDeletealso, urban outfitters in my opinion have the cutest!
UO & target then...
and, congrats on the 300th post!
glasses are cute when you don't always have to wear them to see! i am blind as a bat, and i hate wearing mine all the time, so i've stuck with contacts for years now.
ReplyDeleteyou look so sweet cc!
ReplyDeletei love when you add pics of yourself.
i have yet to try the non- presc. glasses... but i always love the big geeky ones. The ones on aa's site are fabulous...
i should wear glasses when driving but never do (!!!)
x.
THANKS for your sweeeeeet. sweeeeeet words.
glasses are very cool - taylor momsen looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe pink ones are absolutely darling and you look lovely in yours!
ReplyDeleteI see YOU! You are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI just remember this photo I took on Saturday.
http://flickr.com/photos/songy/3036251175/
I will give you more info when I post tonight. I don't have the name of the designer with me.
:)
Why is it that glasses look so much better on gorgeous models than they do on me?
ReplyDeleteHola CC como vas???
ReplyDeleteme gustaron mucho los lentes... creo que cambiaré los mios :)
besos!!!
Tani
I love pics. I think glasses is a very important outfit´s item. I adore sunglasses and I use Diesel glasses for working.
ReplyDeleteKss
;-)
I love your military jacket!!! H&M, you said??? I got one aswell, from H&M, and a short one like yours by levi's, in grey, lovely! and, of course, go ahead with your art!! I got one o your gretting cards and, indeed, is a beautiful work! well done!
ReplyDeleteI'm shortsighted (dammit!) so I wear glasses. I hate contacts and wear them only when I play soccer.
ReplyDeleteBut I must say, glasses are becoming quite fashionable these days!
Everyone wants to look like a nerd ;)
xo
Great post!
ReplyDeleteI really need a new pair of glasses!
Just in time dear!!! I'm planning on buying new frames. I'm fed up with contacts. Hmm... difficult choices. But I think, the winner for me is... *drum roll*... the Phillip Lim pink glasses!!!
ReplyDeletei love big glasses :)
ReplyDeleteI have two pairs of Moschino glasses that I bought from BJ's amazing isn't it. A black and burgandy pair that I like to mix and match with my everyday ensembles. Without them I'm blind as a BAT!
ReplyDeletei could not love this more!!!
ReplyDeletePhilip E. Johnson!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT : )
ooh I'm so in LOVE with this post!!! I'm on the hunt for a new pair of specs and I've been looking for nerd chic I guess you would say! So inspiring!
ReplyDeleteLittle Miss J looks good with glasses!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous idea for a post! I love the photos and the concept! And thank you for your lovely comment, I really like your blog a lot :)
ReplyDeleteGreat styles! <3
ReplyDeleteI think it is shock to most of us that we need glasses but really is walking around squinting very glamourous? There are so many fabulous eyeglass styles avvailable and for great prices that anyone who wears eyeglasses should realy consider having an eyeglass wardrobe.Honestly do you really want to wear the tortoise pair you had on with great jeans also with a great little black dress that evening? I got three pairs from simplyeyeglasses.com- A DKNY, a Adrienne Vittadini and a Bebe frame all for a little more than one pair would have cost from my doctors office.
