Vizio Optic Fall Lookbook

You might remember about a month back when I previewed a project I was working on with Vizio Optic, a local designer sun and eyeglasses boutique located in Brookline. Well I'm happy to announce that the final lookbook is here! I, along with four other Boston bloggers, got to play dress up with beautiful frames. It was hard choosing just three to shoot! We had so much fun working with Galina, Kristen and Stephanie. And as my luck would have it, I ended up needing prescription glasses so naturally I went with a great pair from Vizio. Can't wait to debut them on the blog soon!

At Home with Warby Parker

"Crosby" in Revolver Black

I've been putting off getting my eyes checked out for a while now. I think I'm in denial about this whole "aging" thing. So when I received an email from Warby Parker, I figured it was a sign from the eyesight Gods telling me it's time.

I've always loved how glasses looked on everyone else but never quite thought I could pull them off. I have no idea what shape looks good on me and I'm completely indecisive about whether to go with black or colored frames. Too many choices! Luckily Warby Parker as a "Home Try On" program where you can choose 5 pairs from their extensive collection to try out over the course of 5 days. They even pay for the shipping to and from your house. And they arrived in 2 days!

How did someone as indecisive as me narrow it down to 5 pairs, you ask? I utilized their "Virtual Try On" function as well. Simply upload a picture of yourself and voila, try on as many pairs as you'd like.

The best part? You can try on eyeglasses AND sunglasses. I wore them to work, brunch, and everywhere in between.

"Marshall" in Rum Cherry

"Tenley" Cat Eye in Midnight Blue

"Downing" Walnut Tortoise

"Appleton" Brushed Gold (MY FAVE!!)

 Which are your favorite? I'd love to hear your opinions! I'm still having a tough time deciding on the eyeglasses but I fell in love with the Appleton aviators. Now if only the sun would shine long enough to enjoy them!

With all the rain and cold weather we've been having here in Boston this past week, it's hard to believe summer is supposed to be right around the corner. True to New England weather, we catch a glimpse of warmth and then it disappears as quickly as it came. 

The only thing that keeps me in good spirits during these transitional weeks and months, is daydreaming about picnics in the park, days at the beach, weekend getaways, and shopping. Always shopping. Though my wishlist for summer is fairly extensive, one thing at the very top of my list is a new pair of shades. Specifically this gorgeous pair of Kate Spade Aviator Sunglasses.

And how cool is this: at SmartBuyGlasses, they have a totally useful 3D Try-on tool so you can see what the glasses look like on you before buying them! Simply upload your picture and choose the glasses you want to try on.
