Tulum, Mexico Part I

Very spontaneously I went to lovely Tulum, Mexico. I mostly hung out in a hammock or on the beach and ate lots of grilled fish. If you need any tips, just ask for it! I know where to find the best fish tacos and guacamole!

I’m wearing my favorites J.E.R by the awesome Graz. The frame was made for the predicted end of the world. So, the Mayan Apocalypse 21/12/12 didn’t really happen. However there are a few Mayan temples in the Tulum area!

Raw Vintage Party, Püssy A GoGo, Stockholm, Sweden

The best costume party of 2012 was Hyper Island‘s Raw Vintage Party last weekend in Püssy A GoGo‘s cellar in Old Town in Stockholm!

The whole place looked like the catwalk of a fancy thrift shop in London. My favorites happened to use eyewear as accessories! This is me (!) by the way in my Graz special edition J.E.R sunglasses. You can call me Lady Yaya!

Eyewear People With Friends In Stockholm

Justin, Garrett, Marina, Jasmin, Graz, Elena and me (Barbara)

Jasmin, Garrett and Elena

Wow! What a weekend! Me and Jasmin have been hanging out with these amazing people the whole weekend, showing them the very best of Stockholm. Garrett and Elena from Garrett Leight California Optics and Graz from Graz Studios are here in Stockholm to celebrate Bågar & Glas 30’s anniversary with trunk shows and anniversary party.

Pictures from the trunk shows will come up tomorrow. If in Stockholm, don’t miss out visiting Bågar & Glas tomorrow or Tuesday to meet Graz himself and see the limited edition sunglasses he has made specially for Bågar & Glas. Looking forward!

A sneak peak of the anniversary sunglasses:

New Graz

In Paris I met Graz Mulcahy, one of my favorite eyewear designers. Awesome to finally meet him!

You can tell he’s been working hard because he had many of new great frames to show, both sunglasses and optical. They’re beautiful, bold and fun. The colors are tortoise, gray, black and a few matte ones.

Great collection, can’t wait to see people wear them!


On his nose: A new Graz frame. On his neckline: A Garrett Leight sunglass.

I’m also very excited about the new glasses with Windsor rings around the metal on the front, like the one below:

have a pair of the Joel frame (like the one below) that i love because they are bold and perfectly round. I am very happy that Graz also makes them in titanum now, so they’re much lighter! They come as sunframes and optical.


Graz also made this genius poster showing in a humorous and detailed way how glasses are made:


If you din’t know, now you know. Temples are boxed in with a canon a few times.
