Geek Glasses

[Kimkhuu]

"geek" glasses spotted at Kors, Lacoste, BCBG and United Bamboo for f/w 06.07... so i guess it's "officially" a trend now....

I hate trends, especially when they are good trends. Then everyone wears it and totaly ruins the uniqueness of the item that started the trend.
Like the live strong bracelets. They started out for charity and now they are a trend and I refuse to wear them.
But I do so love these glasses!

I think this can be cute....if done correctly. Reminds me of the demure secretary by day...but sexy vampy kitten at night!

For people who have seen my pic, would you call my glasses 'geek' or 'emo' glasses? Either way, I think I've found the perfect pair of glasses for me, they fit my face and personality perfectly. I used to wear the huge round frames with the leopard pattern on the frame when I was younger, but now I find this rectangular, black and thick frame suits me better...more mysterious and serious or something like that B)

Oh, I so want a pair of Buddy Holly glasses

But they're prooving hard to find in London, unless I pay Cutler&Gross prices.

I think the one's Johnny Depp wore in 'Secret Window' are really coll/nice..

 

[Kimkhuu]

^ I think mr depp looks freaky in them..... ...trying way too hard and frames don't really suit him at all....

 

[larichg]

^well he is freaky in that movie so hehe

I am ABSOLUTELY in love with these glasses! If I could afford them or something remotely close I would definately get them. I was even trying on a pair of old man glasses today because I wanted them so badly!

My glasses look exactly like this, except they are Dolce & Gabbana,
the problem is I cant seem to be able to find the picture anywhere!!

What do you think of this? Trying too hard or cute?

Hmm... I've been a fan since I saw the Nirvana "In Bloom" video when it came out. Can't say. I think if you don't need glasses and you still wear them, that's stupid. I wish I didn't have to.

Anyway, I need a new pair, so give me ideas people! I have an old pair of Armani's I bought a couple years ago, complete with the safety lenses and everything. They're SO tore up now, I've welded with them, had car parts fall on them, slept with them on... it's time to move on.

Anyone make them like what Mike Douglas had in Falling Down?

I started wearing glasses back in 6th grade but never wear them outside class, when i put them on everyone says i look more serious, but is it just me or is it kinda sad when people take you seriously just because your wearin glasses?

anyway i have always worn "geeky" glasses just because they look good on my face i mean think about the other options, round rims? thats just crazy!
