We couldn’t wait to
share our excitement for the Claire & Oliver Goldsmith trunk show we will be having in May!
In 1926, Philip Oliver Goldsmith revolutionized how sunglasses were being made. At a time when cumbersome frames were being made from expensive metals and tortoiseshell, he started fashioning frames from brightly coloured acetates. Sunglasses became not only a way to protect your eyes from the sun, but thanks to Goldsmith…they also became a fashion statement!
Icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Michael Cain adored them and the name Goldsmith became synonymous with stars and style.
I’ll give you the lowdown on Claire Goldsmith next week, you can drool over these iconic photographs in the meantime, ha!

Anthony looks so handsome in his brand new specs! He was ready to upgrade to a bolder pair of frames and he definitely came to the right place. We had so much fun helping Anthony choose these titanium Theo frames. The dark blue color highlights his baby blues, the red details add interest…and it looks like this Theo Cinquante+4 frame was made just for him!

Celebrate Mom’s Day with us on Saturday from 11 AM-5 PM! We will be having an Oliver and Claire Goldsmith Trunk Show…as well as massages, mimosas and munchies, just for mom!
Do you need to get a present for mom, but can’t figure out what to get her? Or maybe she wants to get you a present! Lucky duck! Our rep from two of our vintage-inspiried collections, Claire Goldsmith and Oliver Goldsmith, will be on-hand. In her trunks, she will have of glasses upon glasses in every shape in color…and sunglasses that will make anyone look like a movie star! On Saturday only from 11-5 PM.
Claire Goldsmith is the debut collection of vintage-inspired frames from the great-granddaughter of the iconic eyewear designer Oliver Goldsmith. For three generations, Oliver Goldsmith combined beautiful materials, acetates and hinges with simple and classic style, to create some of the most iconic eyewear in the world. Claire re-established the company in 2005 after a 20 year hiatus, to continue the legacy of the Goldsmith family.
Oliver Goldsmith has been a family-run business for over 80 years. Originally, dress designers approached Goldsmith to create frames to complement their collections. Grace Kelly, Michael Caine, Peter Sellers, Nina Simone and Audrey Hepburn made OG synonymous with stars and style. The rest is history. Now you can get your mum a pair of OG sunglasses and make her look like a star too;-)
Our massage therapist, Adreana Maurer, will be giving powerful back massages from 12-3 PM. In order to relax before your massage, have a mimosa or two…
See you soon!

It was really hard for the Queen of Specs to choose new Anne et Valentin frames, there were so many fun colors and styles. We are obsessed with the slightly larger shapes, giving the wearer tons of room to see! Below is a taste of what we just received…but you have to come in to see them all for yourself.
Wait, there’s more…

Our Customer of the Week is Chris!
The Opticianista did a great job helping Chris pick out some new frames. He fell in love with both pairs of glasses and couldn’t choose, so he bought both! The Lafont frames below are slightly on the conservative side…
while the Anne et Valentin’s are a little more on the wild side. We love that they are so dramatically different, but still both look amazing on Chris.
Chris looks super cool in his new specs…and he is our Customer of the Week!

Because we are such great long-time customers of Anne et Valentin, we were given the opportunity to purchase their limited-edition set of four incredible OBJET series frames!! Of course, we said yes! duh.
