Framed!... The Eyeglasses Thread

[kunio]

my frames are by ic! berlin. they're made with a thin sheet of stainless steel, so it's very lightweight yet strong and flexible.

i like my raspberry glasses !

& the rest of my collection of framez.
i only like plastic . . wire is too professional + ageing imo. . .

& these lovelies are on order . .!

the worst thing is i only ever wear my glasses when i wake up late . . .
otherwise it's impossible to tear me away frm my beloved contacts !

i wish my vision wasnt so good..ive always wanted to wear glasses, not permanently but for "reading" and seeing the board from far away...that way I dont have to wear them all the time, only when i feel it.

I guess sunglasses will have to substitute for those

 

[smartarse]

why is always the ones who have perfect vision wants glasses?

I have to wear it for reading and far away but sometimes (well most of the times) i don't wear it. even if i'm squinting at the comp screen ...i really hate prescription glasses. but i love these ---> B)

try asking a glasses place for non-prescription lenses with a UV filter, or ones that will make it easier to read a computer screen. then you can start the fun part, shopping for frames...

Mine are so old! But when I went to the store the only ones I wanted were the ones I already have. They're gucci-floating frames with a distinctive cat's eye, very delicate... I've been tough with them. They work for me, but I can't seem to justify such an expense for the same glasses again.

What to do?

I think id feel kind of stupid for wearing glasses I dont need at all, plus if i "had" to get them i woudlnt need to pay for it myself

OMG!! Can I join the club too??!! I'm as blind as a bat!! I've been wearing specs since I was, like, five or six... Huge tinted plastic ones that were more like sunnies than specs - they were so DAGGY!! Hehehe!!

I've got a pair of Christian Dior glasses similar to these <http://www.eyeglasses.com/product/771625452-763451090> but in electric blue with diamantes on the side that say "Dior". Saw it in Vogue Aust. and thought, nice... Love the colour but don't really like the bling much, I sometimes wanna pick it off...

I used to have a pair of acetate ones by Dolce & Gabbana that were purple on the front and light green on the inside but I lost them!!

thanks for this thread, shoeaddict! my sight has become quite bad lately and I´ve now found out I need glasses, which has been causing me some dread because I´ve tried contacts and I just couldn´t wear them, my eyes might be to sensitive or something...but anyway, I feel much better about it now, thanks again!

same here, I am terrible about motivating myself to wear my glasses, even though I adore my frames...my vision just isn't as good with glasses. all of those frames are adorable chanel!

I have some Dior glasses. I call them my Far Side glasses because they are vaguely the shape of the specs that the women in Far Side cartoons wear - you know, pointy at the sides.

Tip for any frequent fliers. Terminal 3 in Heathrow has a David Clulow Duty Free Opticians, you can save quite a lot of money. You don't even need to take your prescription, just bring your current glasses. They put them in a machine to find out your prescription and them make you your glasses in about 15 mins.

I have Burberry frames and they're fabulous. My friend has a pair too. Giarre has great frames in tons of designer brands.

I have a pair of black rimmed burberry frames from 2 years ago...black frames are really good for when you're feeling tired cos it hides undereye circles and bags very well

Meanwhile...I'm actually wearing my frameless Valentino's with a translucent lavender hooks? (the sides of the glasses) and there are tiny, subtle little lavender rhinestones on the sides and on 2 on the part where the 2 lenses are connected...it's not at all flashy, but it looks unique and special when someone is looking at you. i've been complimented many times on it.

hope this helps

Dolce & Gabbana have really nice eyewear frames. I recentley bought a pair, and I love them!
