Eyewear Envy: A Saturday morning at Ilori, Soho

Saturday, February 6, 2010 · 2 Comments

I’ve made it blatantly clear that I want to wear glasses. Don’t ask me why, just always have.  I love eyewear as an accessory, but I refuse to be “that girl”. You know, the one who wears clear-lenses glasses.

I’ve tried everything in my power to try to mess up my eyesight and make me eyewear-eligible: I read in the dark, I’m always on my computer…hell, if I liked TV more, I’d be sitting a foot away from it every night.

But alas, I know I’ll be cursed with good vision until I need reading glasses.

This morning, I met @styleit at Ilori to help her select her newest pairs of Chanel frames. Naturally, I had to try on a few pairs of my own hypothetical frames.

I fell in LOVE with these Oliver Peoples frames. $325. I don’t know the style number, so I’ll lovingly refer to them as my “If I Were a Hipster” glasses:

Then there were the “If I Were a Russian Prostitute” glasses:

*sigh* Even if my eyewear fantasies can’t be fulfilled soon…at least a gal can dream and continue to try them on!!
