Spectacular Specs

When I got the email yesterday, I was immediately thrown into a tizzy-- The new collection of Warby Parker glasses just debuted! I am such a nerd for getting excited about glasses, but I love me a pair of geeky frames! They have also come out with gray colors in addition to black and tortoise, so now poor eyesight can be a major accessory! (hehe) Here are some of my favorites:

The Crosby:











The Tenley:











The Winston:











The Sinclair:











The Preston:











I am in nerd heaven right now, people!

As always, frames + prescription polycarbon lenses + anti-glare coating = only $95 and when you buy a pair of glasses from Warby Parker, they donate a pair to an organization that provides glasses to those in need. Check out the rest of the collection here!

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have a great weekend!

Seeing Clearly...

...is something I take for granted that could be considered a luxury in some parts of the world, as well as here in the US. I am a contact/glasses wearer and am fortunate enough to afford quality eye care with insurance, but not everyone is so lucky. I love the benevolent business concept of the Tom's shoe company, (charitable donations funded by a sustainable business model = genius!), and the same concept is at the core of the Warby Parker mission statement. A group of friends decided to make a company that sells low-cost, fashionable eye wear and donate a pair of glasses to the needy with every purchase. The glasses are so cute and really reasonably priced, so my next pair will definitely be coming from their website. I am in love with the Light Tortoise and Sandalwood colors and lots of the frames.

Here is the Roark style:


And the Finn style:


Just two great options- I can't decide! Which are your fav's? Know any companies with a heart of gold? Give a shout-out! :)
