[Fancy Spectacles]


 I've been on the look out for a new frame for a couple of years now.  I wear contact lenses daily, and feel like giving my eyes a break from them. I want to find a pair of glasses that I love, that I can wear to work, during the day etc.  I have glasses, but I've had them for years, and I don't like them anymore... I just wear them at home, and before I go to sleep.

My Dad is an Optician, so while I was browsing some eyewear magazines at his place, I was very drawn to an ad for Scandinavian Eyewear.  After browsing the site, I fell in love with their design.  Here's my two favorite styles....

These are some other eye catching favorites....






**update: My Dad has informed me (since reading this post) that he's going to gift me part of the cost for iLasik, laser eye surgery!!!!! yeah. wow. So we're working towards that goal now! These frames are still beautiful though... ;)

  1. Oooh! I love those! I bought a new pair of frames, but being pregnant and stuff makes my eyes change so much. So I've been waiting. And now I am sooo ready for them! I'm sick of the frames I have now... I've had them since before paisley was born... And they're too big for my face. :( but I'm excited to see what you get! I love glasses! (although, I'll probably get laser eye surgery sometime too.)

  2. ahhh. Love those red/pink/ombre frames. Alas, that shape would do more harm than help for me. Can't wait to see what you choose!

  3. I was looking for cat eye frames for the LONGEST Time with no luck. Had to find the closest I could get because it just came down to me needing to see clearly. It's time for new frames again and these look PERFECT!!!

  6. B, Thank you!
    I use Photoshop CS3 for everything. I edit some photos in Adobe Lightroom, but for adding text, cropping, playing around, etc I just use photoshop. Hope that helps!

  7. ooh they are beautiful.
    I really wish I could wear glasses, I would find a pretty fancy vintage pair and swap out the lenses.

  12. My glasses are a similar shape by Paul Frank. They carry them in a lot of places, and I coooonstantly get complements on them! Definitely try on a pair. :)
