Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-versus-dated-the-eye-glass-addition#post-296075 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 03:07:43 +0000 Angie 296075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jonesy, the frames in today's blog post are lafont too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-versus-dated-the-eye-glass-addition#post-296029 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 01:39:19 +0000 Jonesy 296029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My new frames are a vintage style that has been tweaked and re-issued (see link below). They are by Lafont--part of their Reedition line; you might want to browse around their selection if you like vintage-looking frames :). </p> <p><a href="http://www.coolframes.com/?fid=34989" rel="nofollow">http://www.coolframes.com/?fid=34989</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-versus-dated-the-eye-glass-addition#post-295876 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 22:45:09 +0000 Angie 295876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how fun, Julie! I too adore vintage frames just as much as modern ones. </p> <p>The specs you've linked to are classic. When I think of vintage eye frames, I think of this type of style: </p> <p><a href="http://www.vintagecateyeglasses.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/libertycateyefront.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.vintagecateyeglasse.....efront.jpg</a></p> <p>Or half rimmed styles, like what I'm wearing in today's blog post (tapered pleated trousers). Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-versus-dated-the-eye-glass-addition#post-295866 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 22:37:17 +0000 chewyspaghetti 295866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK- wow that try the glasses on a pic of you feature is super neat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-versus-dated-the-eye-glass-addition#post-295848 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 22:13:35 +0000 Srujana 295848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link R&amp;J....I'm having fun playing with BF's picture and "trying" on glasses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-versus-dated-the-eye-glass-addition#post-295843 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 22:01:43 +0000 Inge 295843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very good question, Julie, I'm going to follow this thread with interest (I too love vintage inspired frames and have been wondering about the same thing). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-versus-dated-the-eye-glass-addition#post-295740 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 20:14:20 +0000 RoseandJoan 295740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have just read Srujana's thread and promptly reread your guidelines for spectacular spectacles! I'm having my eyes tested at the end of the month, I already wear specs when on the computer, driving (or being chauffeured) and reading and my eyes have deteriorated so I know I will be needing new lenses. Through a health scheme I'm in I also get to reclaim £60.00 so feel updated the frames is a must.</p> <p>But here's where I get stuck, I love vintage looks but when it comes to vintage style frames I don't know the nice from the naff.</p> <p>I'm drawn to tortoiseshell with a slight cats eye but what do you think? (I know I need to be careful not to overwhelm my features, I also have a petite head (I wear children's sun hats even though I'm 5ft 8") and only have a small amount of room between my socket line and eyebrows so anticipate fit issues)<br /> <a href="http://www.specsavers.co.uk/glasses/glasses-details/cookie/" rel="nofollow">http://www.specsavers.co.uk/gl.....ls/cookie/</a></p> <p>I know I need to go and try a gazillion pairs but a little help would be much appreciated. </p>
