They're great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-glasses-with-angie#post-79046 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 23:06:46 +0000 Angie 79046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the power of KILLER. (You know how I feel about you in these specs). </p> <p>If you wear your specs every day, all day, see how fast the cost per wear whittles down to nothing. You’ll also feel sassy no matter WHAT you wear. I’m happy you’re happy, Cathy. I hope hubby liked them too :0)</p> <p>They are metal AND plastic, Maya - with nose pads. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-glasses-with-angie#post-79003 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 18:55:38 +0000 Maya 79003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already gushed about them but I will again: THEY ARE FAB! Actually, the high price point makes me feel better in a way. Even if I had a job, there is no way I would be able to afford $425 AND the cost of the lenses (I don't even think I can afford $425 total), so I don't have to feel bad about it :p I completely agree that glasses are an investment, especially if they are going to be on your face every day. Since mine are only going to be on my face once a week (at least once my life goes back to normal), I think it's okay to be stingy, hehe. Anyway, back to you: Are these metal, plastic, or both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-glasses-with-angie#post-78999 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 18:39:49 +0000 cciele 78999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, sorry Patience! Thanks for letting me know -- I fixed them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-glasses-with-angie#post-78995 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:33:09 +0000 Patience 78995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The links aren't working for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-glasses-with-angie#post-78987 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:11:49 +0000 Anonymous 78987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thankyou for sharing your shopping experience with us. I wish I could have been there at the same time as you so we coud have met and shared our eye glasses shopping experience in person, but this is the next best.<br /> I love your choice!!! Absolutely worth the money to have such a great accessory on your face.<br /> I love how different frames are the perfect match to different faces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-glasses-with-angie#post-78985 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:07:19 +0000 cciele 78985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So my current specs are pretty old and boring, and seeing the great job Angie did picking out specs for San, I thought I'd have her pick some out for me!</p> <p>We went to the same shop where San got hers (Market Optical in Seattle). They had a beautiful selection of high-end frames there, and a sweetheart of an optician. I basically stood in front of the mirror while Angie plucked out frames for me to try on. Angie gave me some good tips regarding the width of the frames, matching the frame to my eyebrows, etc.</p> <p>The first pair she picked turned out to be the best! They are made by Bevel (excuse the sweaty face and hair :</p> <p>Entire album (password: youlookfab):<br /> <a href="http://s617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Eyeglasses/" rel="nofollow">http://s617.photobucket.com/al.....yeglasses/</a></p> <p>Bevel, front view:<br /> <a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Eyeglasses/P1010018.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....010018.jpg</a></p> <p>Bevel, three-quarters view:<br /> <a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Eyeglasses/P1010019.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....010019.jpg</a></p> <p>Close-up of the frames (you can see they are red/orange on the inside. The outside is a taupey brown, darker than it looks in the photos because of the flash):<br /> <a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Eyeglasses/P1010023.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....010023.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Eyeglasses/P1010024.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....010024.jpg</a></p> <p>Another option were frames by Paul Smith, front view:<br /> <a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Eyeglasses/P1010025.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....010025.jpg</a></p> <p>Once I get my prescription and insurance info sorted out, I'll be getting the Bevels. Pricey (the frames alone are $425), but considering they're something I will wear everyday, I think they are worth it! </p>
