Yesterday Jasmin and I went to visit the Vasuma guys in Old Town, Stockholm. They showed us their latest collection and told us a lot about their brand values, which we’ll tell you more about later. Now, I’ll show you one of my favorite sunglasses from the new collection:
Lora, Vasuma.
I’m specifically fond of the green-tortoise one, it reminds me about the army look that we have shown for you before (HERE).
More to come!
We had a wig party Saturday and I just had to wear my Vintage Alberto Puccini with my blonde wig. Great night out with the girls!
The quality of vintage frames is usually excellent. I wish glasses still had that great quality.
I think some eyewear brands such as Dita and Barton Perreira have that same texture and perfect finish as the vintage ones, but it’s rare. Unfortunately clothing brands rarely make high quality frames.
A few years ago there was a very popular metal frame from Oliver Peoples called Keats. Those who know, know. It had no nosepads, was simple, thin, elegant and smart. There was not really anything that could replace it’s simplicity. Until now. Gallagher is the “new” Keats.
Tomorrow Jasmin and I are going to visit one of the coolest Swedish Eyewear brands – Vasuma inc.
Of course we will bring our camera with us and share the news with you!
Västra Trädgårdsgatan, Stockholm
Here is a picture of myself on the street, wearing my favorite pair of glasses “Amber” from MYKITA. I love the feminine texture of the frame in a neat cat-style. And besides they are so comfortable, since they don’t weigh more than a couple of grams.
Framework has made these awesome limited posters.
I think everyone can recognize a few iconic frames that really are attatched to that evry person’s image and character such as Woody Allan’s, Kanye West‘s or Buddy Holly’s glasses. You can buy them here. I wish the DMC’s were made into one big poster or even a T-shirt.
They are all male actors, artists, musicians or politicians. Where are all the ladies?

I have to share these beautiful pictures with you! This girl looks great in her sunglasses, “Miltzen” from Moscot. Besides, she is wearing a pretty cool outfit and has a red clutch that I love.
Vasuma inc introduces “Diamondback” in two new colors this year:
Tortoise and Red Havana. The red tone of “Red Havana” is epic!
I don’t just love wearing glasses, I also love glasses as an anywhere-detail. Maybe I should begin to store my glasses as shown below?
A part of my eyewear collection, and as you might notice I’m a big fan of MYKITA.
If you have any fun/odd ideas of storing your eyewear, please share with us…
