Eyewear Envy: A Saturday morning at Ilori, Soho
6 Feb
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!!
