Customers around the Shop: Barbara’s on pair #2 ALREADY!
Barbara was in for a beautiful red pair of glasses last month, but decided one fabulous cat-eye wasn’t enough! She just got this lovely green pair to add to her stunning collection!
Customers around the Shop: David I.’s winning frame selections
Here is a frame styling lesson in 2 parts:
David picks out a zippy acetate set in blue/tortoise:
…And a thinner profile metal square-rim in green/cream:
Two contrasting frame styles that compliment his style, offer versatility, and express slightly different attitudes, but stay natural to his personality. David wins!
WOODn’t it be cool to wear one of these new styles?
The “wood-grain” textured look on acetate frames is certainly not dead- there’s a new crop of styles coming into the shop that suggest this aesthetic has evolved!
We are seeing this trend re-vamped with more color and integrated with metal to create dynamic designs:
 |
| One of our new collections mixes metal with faux wood-grain color |
…or departing from the heavier, chunky effect to a more tried-and-true organic look in these thinner, lighter styles:
 |
| Both classic & contemporary shapes are complemented by the earthy aesthetic of the wood-grain treatment. |
 |
| This texture pairs well with rich colors & sharp color combos |
 |
| earthy tones create that quintessential down-to-earth look |
Color Inspiration: Pantone color of the Year, Radiant Orchid!
Springtime calls for something fresh & new in regard to fashionable color ways. At the moment, we are taking our inspiration cues from the design world’s most renowned authority on what’s hot color-wise: PANTONE, INC!
“Radiant Orchid” is a rich mix of both warm & cool tones that is versatile and dynamic. The hue compliments a range of color palettes and flatters most complexions… also one of those great colors for those “make-up less days,” ladies!

Here are some current springtime models that capture this vibrant color in a truly wearable way:
Customers around the Shop: Duma Love
Duma’s memorable new glasses proves our theory that, “like attracts like.” The vibrant blue is as striking as his presence- if you don’t already know him, you are likely to ask yourself, “who is this intriguing guy?”Mr. Love is one of those unforgettable “somebodys” you run into in the city, such as at the beach or park where he most likely is out jamming out some impressive tunes. Its an understatement to say he is an accomplished acoustic guitarist, with a notable musical resume that spans everything from Jazzy Funk & Hip-Hop, to experimental pop sounds.

Customers around the Shop: The Welder Family!
Starr & Hack made picking up their new glasses a family affair. With their latest frames, they look like the picture-perfect, shining family! Well, except for Lil’ baby Welder, who seems slightly perturbed to not have a cool new pair of his own… hee hee.
