AS THEY DO IT IN ASIA

So, my previous post about specs chains prompted Kat, (my "HK correspondent":-) to send me this awesome link to a Korean eyewear company... the cool thing is that there are several photos of this gorgeous girl sporting super snazzy chains with her nice glasses (worth scrolling down on the page as well). Take a look for yourselves... thanks Kat!

THE SPECS CHAIN IS BACK

The ones who wear glasses cords today do it for everything but the practical reasons. Cords and chains in many different executions and designs have been spotted both on the catwalk and on the street as the hot detail at the moment. It’s all about the accessories and a colourful, sparkling or bold specs chain attached to your frames can give exciting effects to your look. There are heaps of variations of stylish ones out there but you can also do it yourself.

The lovely Jennifer never stop inspiring me with her stylish self and this time she shares her creations of specs chains and cords – all designed to suit a specific pair of frames in her specs wardrobe.

She says: “The ones with granny turquoise and gold beads and the lurid orange wooden beads are both op-shop finds - a couple of rubber loops stitched on to the end of the fixings and a spec chain is born”.

“I have this pale blue frame from a million years ago and a long single strand of pearls that ends in a jingly tassel. Of course, they had to be put together. So, I wrapped the tassel part of the pearls over the top of the frame and fastened it with some stretchy thread. I end up with a super long pearl spec chain and the jingly jangly pearls at the front feel a little bit special. This one is most definitely not for the faint hearted, though. It gets a lot of attention”.

I don’t know about you but I’m gonna make my own now... stay tuned!

FRAME IN BLACK

Good news everyone - Toby now released in black! Available in all Specsavers stores. Mod no 24834353.

FRAMED... KINGSIZE

Framed this snazzy lady Tina in Sydney airport last week. She sure knows how to pull off the super size frame!

GET THE LOOK... CONTRASTS

I am a BIG fan of contrasts. I also loove this outfit. Pretty gold lace and schoolgirl hair with leather jacket and a large, robust, heavy pair of glasses - simply to bring out the contrasts!

GO MONOCHROME!

Play with black and white, contrasts and graphic patterns. Go monochrome for the new season with these new spectacular specs from Osiris - available now in all Specsavers stores world wide.

GO-GO GAGA IN GLASSES - WHAT A SPECTACLE

Lately I've started to open my eyes and ears up a bit more for Lady GaGa. She is really a creative genius. Fabulous outfits, music videos and exciting new tunes. House of GaGa also seem to be pretty ahead in signing up new, up and coming artists as well which is pretty interesting. When I got given tickets to her Tuesday Melbourne show the other week I went there with excitement and thrill. I left with a truly, madly and deeply fascination for and admire of this singing / dancing / writing / performing / creating / entertaining 23-year old. I was completely blown away. What a show, what a spectacle!

Also thought I'd share with you some of the great eyewear spotted in a few of her many different costumes. How about the upgrade of the famous "Swarovsky shutter shade" especially designed for Kanye West by Alain Mikli: In deep purple, completely covered of sparkles and an exact match with the jumpsuit. I wonder how well she could see through them though.... Same goes for the fabulous creation - spider style - that I would looove to see in the next batman film. (if there is one...)




The only think missing to complete this "top to toe leopard costume" is a pair of leopard print frames... Like the ones from Red or dead!

FRAMED... SPECCIES FASHIONISTAS

The other day I was having Emma photographed for Specsavers Internal Staff Magazine as she has just taken over as the Editor. All good until the lovely Rachel turned up. A bit distracted by the lovely ladies together and of course Rachel's new geek chic grandpa glasses and fabulous vintage dress by Diane Fries. (so ab fab I need to include the photos in colour as well)

FRAMED... MY LITTLE SISTA

So, took the opportunity to get my sister framed as well during her stay with me here in Melbourne. She loves big, bold, funky sunglasses and this particular pair is found in a vintage shop. Go for a hunt if you like old-styled shades as there are some fabulous ones around... just make sure they have good UV protection!!!

FRAMED... AGAIN

When you buy a pair of glasses from AUD $179 / NZ $249 you get a second pair for one price and why not make them a Sunglass pair. My mum - Carina - got hers back home in Sweden but they can be found in all Specsavers Stores world wide. This particular frame is one of my favorites (and certainly my mums as well) and is great for adding a tint to ().

FRAMED... MY VERY OWN MUM... MELBOURNE

So, Im not the only one in my family getting excited about fashion stuff and my mum - Carina- is having a specswardrobe of her own. Her disappointment after she was adviced getting varifocals very soon disappeared once she realized it meant she could go shopping for new pairs of glasses!

I think she look fabulous in this snazzy pair from Osiris () while visiting me here in Melbourne.

FANTASTIC ANIMALISTIC

RETRO LOVE

Think Old-school Movie stars. The Hitchcock Secretary, Librarian or Partner in Crime. Or, think about your old grandpa’s classic pair of glasses that are so big so they are impossible to miss when misplaced. Yup, that's it!

In the world of art, culture and fashion, as much as we like the new stuff, we love looking back. Old trends that got so worn out that we never thought we’d see them again most certainly makes an appearance in the lime light again.

And so it is for the big trend that has been sneaking around for awhile and now is very prominent on the trendy folk’s noses: The retro styled frame. Get the look with these cool Geek Chic styles. From above: Amsterdam (25056969 and 25056952) or Buck (21063633) and Colum (24314244).
