We love when customers want to take a turn with their eyewear. That’s why we love such funky eyewear! Changing one little accessory can make a huge difference!
When Ann Marie came into the store a couple of weeks ago, she wasn’t looking for a big change; she simply needed to update her already awesome eyewear.
After trying the usual suspects (reds-amazing on her!, and tortoise and purple-sigh!) Ann Marie fell in love with a most unexpected new frame, this Francis Klein frame with light blue and green silk inlay!
We love surprises like this! A small change, of the color of eyewear, and WOW Ann Marie has a whole new look!
Congratulations, Ann Marie, you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

I just stumbled upon what may be one of the happiest places on the Internet!
A blog devoted to ***vintage eyewear***
Two teenagers modeling “Boy Watcher” glasses, California, 1965.
Click hereto check out Note de l’Hotel, my new 2nd favorite blog (after this one, of course).
Vintage shapes are very much “in” right now and it’s fun to look at all of these styles. But buying actual vintage frames creates the risk of breakage when putting prescription lenses in the frame.
That’s why I’m so very delighted to have lines like Francis Klein and Lafont bringing back the vintage shapes. And who would I be to forget my lovely Theo, they’ve been taking inspiration from these vintage geek shapes and re-making them with titanium in bright colors!
Oh joy joy joy, it’s such a lovely day to look at AWESOME GLASSES!
Stop by Saturday, June 13th for our Father’s Day Party featuring the frames of Maui Jim and IC!Berlin! We’ll have a party going from 11-5!
