Tracy’s edgy-chic metal cat-eye is striking: perfectly balanced with its thin, sweeping silhouette & beautifully layered color. The leopard print is just subtle enough to mimic the favored classic “tortoise” aesthetic in a very contemporary way. (click photo to see closer detail)
This frame is a beautiful accompaniment to her lovely smile!

A crystal clear frame can go a little or a long way style-wise, depending on the eyewear shape.
Cheryl’s revamped retro look from Andy Wolf expresses personality & edge in a subtle way, so her pretty eyes and smile are still the focal point! At the same time, this frame doesn’t stray from presenting an intriguing fashion aesthetic.

Last week’s MOSCOT EYEWEAR Trunk Show brought some energy to the shop! Most of the iconic New York eyeglass styles were available to try on in all sizes & color options to enhance each patient’s experience with this special line.
We had some yummy snacks & refreshments to give our Thursday afternoon a laid-back, “happy hour” glasses mood!
Thanks to our many customers who came out to the event; those who purchased a new pair during the event helped us raise $1200 for Lifelong AIDS Alliance!
Weren’t able to make it? No worries, Moscot frames are a staple around the shop! We are pleased to stock a substantial quantity of the collection, so stop in anytime to see this wonderful eyewear line.

Fall time is when a steady stream of the freshest models from Silmo Paris Expo arrive, and we have lots on their way!
One of the 1st vendors to hit the frame wall is a long time EOF staple collection, Conquistador.
Hans Joachim-Marwitz has been the owner/purveyor of Conquistador since 1970 and has a small design /sales team that is mostly made up of family members, including his sons. After over 4 decades, Hans still comes to the optical trade shows! His friendly, kind demeanor is part of what seals his long time relationships with return clients, like us. 🙂
We love his passion for traveling: it is something that keeps Hans inspired.
Check out his frame catalogue and website online which are modeled after his traveling photo albums:

The sassy cat-eye glasses look does Lisa REALLY WELL… this edgy shape w/a dual-tone front from Spectacle Eyeworks does the trick for a stunning fall look. This style looks amazing with her sharp bob hair cut!
