Frame of the week: Eyes on Fremont Collection’s “The Burke G.” in Blackish
As many of you may already know, we have our own in-house collection that is available at a very reasonable package price of $175 for frame & standard lenses.
Every few months we release a couple of new models to keep the selection up to par. We would like to introduce you to one of the newer models…
THE BURKE G. in BLACKISH
 |
This model is the ideal urban chic that borrows a pronounced brow line from classic horn-rimmed looks. Though leaning towards a masculine silhouette, this style is a popular unisex look. Medium brown temples add pleasant neutral contrasting to the matte black front: a utilitarian, yet polished color scheme. |
This style is named after the Burke-Gilman Trail in King County, one of the most travelled commuter trails in the country. Previously a rail-trail that was converted to a pedestrian-friendly urban trail system in the 1970’s, it spans over 17 miles.
The mostly paved Burke-Gilman starts at Golden Gardens Park on Puget Sound and winds through many landmarks of the city, including University of Washington, Gasworks Park, and Lake Union. The trail goes eastbound through a number of neighborhoods & parks to Bothell Park. For those who want to continue on, it connects to Sammamish River trail; another 11 miles on this connect will land you at Marymoor Park in Redmond.

The Burke-Gilman Trail has inspired other cities to plan and build similar commuter trails, as it is very popular for both transportation-based and recreational use.

Top Guns: A new crop of Sunglasses from Victory Eyewear
Summer is in full swing, and everyone under the sun is craving a cool look by way of sun wear. Victory Eyewear’s collection has just arrived in the shop and it looks as though they are on the up & up of what is ahead in the sunglass game! This family-owned company has earned its right as a trusted authority on eyewear fashion; spanning three generations and having been in business since 1941, they remain loyal to the retro aesthetic they defined for many style icons we identify eyewear with. (Buddy Holly come to mind?)
Here are the 2 sunglass models, available in 4 colorways:
The newest Suntimers model brings a little edge to the classic retro-round shape with a colored-rim and contrasting metallic double bar. Slick!
Victory’s “Plaza” aviator is also updated in the new color combos, making it one of the most attractive aviator styles on the market.
