i was doing a little desktop cleanup today and came across this snapshot from a weekend trip earlier this year. reading grace coddington’s memoirs in my simply fabulous frames, reminding me that i need to give my poor eyes a break from contact lenses more often. and for that matter, perhaps i need to give myself a break and head out on another weekend getaway…

virtual stylist consultation from bonlook

Untitled-1

it’s a new year, which is always a nice time to freshen up your look. i know that i’m currently on the hunt for some new frames, so i reached out to bonlook  for some advice. they are currently offering a new virtual stylist consultation service. you simply fill out a short questionnaire about your personal style and face shape, and they will create a custom page just for you with a short video offering up suggestions on what frames will suit you the best. you can then share the page with your friends and put it up for a vote if you’d like!

to see an example of how it works, they created this video just for me. feel free to check it out, and even vote on what frames you think i should get next!

see something you like? bonlook would like to offer you 50% off on a second pair of glasses with code “CALI50” now through february 28!

four eyes

ok, you guys. i know many of you saw me in video form for the first time last week, and now i guess i’m on a roll, because today i have yet another video to share. i recently acquired a small collection of new glasses and thought it would be fun to record a little video featuring them all. it’s been a long while since i’ve made my own video… well, to be honest, this is like the third video i’ve ever made. but i was in a silly mood and thought it might be fun to show you what my silly mug looks like in motion, and to highlight some of my favorite new frames from bonlook! i think it’s so funny how i look rather serious in many of my outfit photos when in real life i’m generally contorting my face into all number of strange faces in hopes of generating a comic effect. so enjoy!

if you’d like to snatch up a pair yourself, they are quite affordable at $99 total for the frame and the prescription (or you can get them made into sunglasses or simply fill them with non-prescription lenses), and they arrive in their own little case with a soft little cloth, lens cleaner, and a mini screwdriver in case of lost screws! but that’s not all, haha! you can get $10 off with the code, “cali10” now through november 4!

i am wearing: j’adore in goldjungle chic in tortoisejungle chic sunglasses in havana & purple, and the simply fabulous in brown. oh, and perhaps a pair of silly novelty birthday glasses made their way in as well… and the dress is handmade by leah goren!
