So she took her red glasses and left immediately.
And she was like “WHAT?!”
She was more like “who cares?” and kept playing cards
And Lolita was like “LOL”..

Christmas Storefronts
The two cutest christmas storefront shop windows of optical stores I’ve seen this year are these two:

– Inspired by Oliver People’s classic “Working Opticians” picture (see here), in a true Christmas spirit with a pure red Oscar Magnuson frame.
;
Modern Christmas illustration by MYKITA Shop, Berlin

Inspiration Of the Day: Color Fusion
Okay, after looking at these pictures I really want to get a pair of glasses with peachy/pink lenses. AMAZING.
Inspiration of the day: Rihanna
Well, Rihanna is not afraid of putting on a statement outfit. Below follows a selection of her wearing different variations of black shades, all looking extremely cool on her!
Bamboo by Oliver Goldsmith
This is an old Oliver Goldsmith piece, designed by Charles in the mid-century. Charles was the son of Philip Oliver Goldsmith, a former sales person from a small optical store who founded the eyewear company Oliver Goldsmith. Charles took over the business at 1935.
Another Bamboo creation by Charles is this one above from 1962, more less completely made of bamboo.
At the Beckman’s Christmas Market, Stolckholm, Sweden
Oskar Pernefeldt is studying Visual Communication at Beckman’s College of Design in Stockholm. He’s wearing the glasses he had during his military service.
Last weekend he exhibited his creative work at The Beckman’s Christmas Market. It’s several different tags describing why Santa couldn’t deliver the gift personally and had to consult the “Santa Post”. Along with the excuse tag comes two hand perforated self adhesive stamps. He made a few for kids and a few more suitable for adults.
I think this is adorable!
Dior SS13 – Electric Feminism
(Picture from bon)
I bumped into this picture while surfing on bon’s website and it just caught my attention. Love the whole look, combining a classic female look with a balanced electric futurism. The sunglasses are very delicate, they almost look like Christian Dior eyewear did back in the 80’s.
Selima Optic’s New Acetate Colors!
Just saw some new awesome colors from Selima Optics! Lots of colorful ones and many transparent ones!
Edouardo in a lovely Violet Horn acetate.
Andy in this lovely Emerald Green. What a great shape, very Andy Warhol!
Virgine in Tortoise / Navy. Here you can really see the different layers of acetate.
Andy in Grey Christal. Love love love gray acetate frames! The light goes through them and make them shine but they can also look brownish dark gray depending on your skin tone and the light!
