Framed


Due to my blindness, I'm in the market for a pair of glasses.
I've been eyeing these ones for a while now....


I also like the tortoise pair

but I may opt for these cateye-inspired Alexander McQueen wayfarers instead.

thoughts?

The collection had some not-so-innocent Lolita inspiration, but deviated from the typical hooker-lucite association, making plexiglass more sultry than trashy.

Michael Kors also incorporated lucite accents into his collection for a fresh, clean look:
