Through the looking glass

The only good thing about getting old and losing your vision are the nice glasses one can get out of this experience. Some people love designer handbags, or shoes, but I love designer glasses. They are my only solace when I realize that my vision is just getting weaker by the day.

Who would want to wear the exact same pair of shoes or belt every day? That’s why I think it’s nice to have options when it comes to glasses, especially since they are worn daily and around the face nonetheless.

Here are some of my favourite picks from my own collection. My vision is likely getting weaker, so I’ll be indulging in some new glasses as soon as I get a new eye examination done! I can’t wait. I really am very fond of glasses, as I feel they can change your mood and your attitude. I love wearing mine to change up the look of an outfit.

I love semi-rimless styles, as I find them the most flattering. They compliment by features, but don’t overwhelm my face.

I also like the thick rimmed glasses, but I do prefer them in lighter colours, like tortoise shell. I find black to be harsh around my face, but I couldn’t say no to these Marc Jacobs glasses. They are very nerdy-chic!

Finally, my wish list: I love the embellishments on the Dior and Dolce & Gabbana glasses. I like them both in lighter colours, browns or whites. I hope one of these pairs will be my next set of lovely glasses!

  2. Marz, I envy your fabulous collection of glasses.

    I have glasses everywhere... in my work area, in my bedside table, in the bathroom, in my handbag. I can't read without glasses. hahaha! Age issues I know.

  5. Wow I love your collection!!! I have Dior glasses which I absolutely love- the frame is thin but the bands are thick, which I love since it doesn't overwhelm my face! I'm going to be visiting the eye doctor soon and hope to get a new pair- thanks for the inspiration:)

  12. wow Marz, you have a wicked collection of glasses! I'm too lazy putting on glasses. I feel more comfortable with contact lenses. But with glasses like yours, i might not take it off.

  24. Love your glasses collection doll!It's quite impressive!I must confess I'm mad about sunglasses and about glasses as well. Eventhough I don't have any problem with my eyes I want to buy a pair of glasses I could wear even on winter time and at school.I would love a pair of glasses with black frames, nerd like or with leopard frames?You should try that kinf of glasses too I'm sure you would look amazing wearing them.I wish you a very very happy New Year and have lots of fun at the New Year's Eve party!

  27. I think I may be needing eye glasses for the first time in my life! I don't think I have the eyes or the face that suit glasses. Hopefully there will be some expert to help me out, if I fail my eye exam! Your collection is great!

  28. I can't believe that I have a) a four eyed sister and b) that she would display her four eyed-ness on a public forum such as this weblog. *Le sigh*

    Love,

    Your (also) four eyed sister.

    PS: You no longer own those dior glasses - I stole them and I've marked them as mine.

  38. Happy New Year!

    Great collection! I don't need glasses, but I've always admired beautiful frames. The Gucci and Dior ones are my favorites!

  39. I have never though that way about glasses. You should see me. Just the opposite. I have had the same from from around 10 years. The other day, my little one broke them and I put on another pair that I had saved form another 10 years. I wish I could have more pretty pair like yours.
