My friends and I have started a new thing. It’s fun and we have great plans for it. It’s called NAILBONANZA. We gather, eat dinner, paint our nails and talk. Last time we did a bunch of different styles. Of course I did a nail with glasses on!

At the MIDO fair, FEB31st Wooden Frames

This young man is wearing FEB31st “Octans”.
FEB31st is a Italian eyewear brand dedicated to all of you interested in wood frames. What makes FEB31st unique is the huge range of color options in their collections. Each model is available in several colors, everything between natural brown and beige to more edgy colors such as yellow and orange. All frames are made of high quality tinted wood.
One vacation – Three sunglasses
Capital Ellie, Cherry
Ray-Ban Clubmaster, Brown/Gold
Mykita Decades Trueman, Grey
Some of all the sunglasses I brought to the vacation in Crete. Even though I have a lot of sunglasses, I still feel like I need some more colorful ones. My collection is a bit to classy at the moment…
Bonocle Loves Metal – Graz Stray
GRAZ, Stray I in Black. So thin. So refined. So classy. So perfect.
Some of you regular readers might know by now I’m a big fan of cool metal frames. This i definitely a Bonocle favorite!
In Love with GLCO
I’m in love with the colorful custom colored Garrett Leight cateyes and the new round sunglasses! I especially like that they’re colorful yet soft.

There you can find most of the top eyewear brands worth mentioning such as Oliver Peoples, Garrett Leight, MYKITA, Theo, Harry Lary’s, Thierry Lasry, just to name a few. They have a few stores in Bologna and this is one of them. Very nice staff too!

Thierry Lasry always had the craziest acetate!

The lovely Caroline Abram that makes the beautiful eyewear accessories we’ve posted about a few times about also makes fantastic glasses.
Selima Optique – The London Collection
Selima Optique recently had an event in New York to launch the “London Collection”. A Vintage high-end collection curated by Selima herself and Kajal, currently a Business School student from London who is set to launch her eyewear company upon graduation later this year. Very exciting!
The collection looks awesome from what I’ve seen so far, specially this vintage sunglass from Cazal:
