I am a lucky gal. The folks at online glasses retailer Mezzmer have offered me the chance to test out their “try at home” service in exchange for a complimentary pair of specs. Mezzmer allows shoppers to pick as many as five pairs to try at home. You simply add the pairs you’d like to try on to your cart and for a service fee of $1 — which is refunded to you in a couple of days — they send you the frames in a nice box to try on at home. When you decide on which frames you want, you mail the sample frames back (it comes with a return slip to slap on the same box they came in), and then order your final pair with your prescription. (You even have 30 days to return your glasses if for some reason you’re unhappy with them.) Keep reading »

Jessica WakemanAugust 12, 2011 //

Who are you calling “Four Eyes”? Kate Spade’s tiny glasses pendant on a gold-plated necklace is a quirky way to show friends that you’re a smartypants. Or, at least, one stylish chica. With specs this cute, you’ll be begging for astigmatism!

The Many Glasses Of Woody Allen

I always assumed the original nerd boyfriend Woody Allen wore the same glasses in movie after movie. But alas, there are subtle differences. Maybe in 50 years someone can replicate this chart with Lady Gaga’s hair? [World of Wonder] Keep reading »

Lisa Loeb Eyewear Launched

Annika HarrisNovember 17, 2010 //

Well, it’s about time: Lisa Loeb is known for her iconic cat eyeglasses, and now she’s helping other women define their look with her new line of glasses, Lisa Loeb Eyewear Collection by Classique. The “Stay” singer’s frames are a fit for any face shape and are appropriate for work, school or play. There are classic styles, like the Hello Lisa, and embellished options that have etching and rhinestones on the handles, like the Lucky Me. The prices seem to be comparable, or even less in some instances, as other designer frames. Now if only she had a tutorial on how to get the sexy librarian vibe, we’d all be set.

Hello There, Four Eyes

Ami AngelowiczNovember 12, 2010 //

First I got the cutes, then I got the sadz. This dog in glasses, part of a brilliant photo collection aptly titled Dogs In Glasses, looks exactly like my childhood dog Mandy. Well, if she had worn glasses. But she had perfect eyesight. Actually, she was perfect. RIP, Mandy. I miss you. [Crusahble] Keep reading »

Sally Jessy Raphael’s Signature Red Glasses Came With Her Pap Smear

Ami AngelowiczNovember 11, 2010 //

“I couldn’t see the teleprompter. So I saw an ad that said, ‘We do a Pap smear and give you red glasses.’ They said were going to trade me up [for a more expensive pair]. I said: ‘You’re not going to trade me up. I don’t have that kind of money.’ It’s all they had for $19.95.”

—Former talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael explains where she got her signature, over-sized, red glasses on “Oprah.” I’m sorry. Come again? A medical office that sells glasses and gives pap smears? Did that kind of place exist in the ’80s? If so, how come Sally didn’t cover that as a topic on her show? [Us Weekly] Keep reading »

Would You Wear These: Prada Eyebrow Glasses?

Carrie MorrisseyNovember 3, 2010 //

Crystal Renn loves these Eyebrow Glasses from Prada’s fall/winter 2010 collection so much she’s going to turn them into her prescription glasses. We’ve been seeing a resurgence in the cat’s eye glasses trend; however, these are a real first. Playful, feminine and possibly a little snarky, these glasses could be really cute on the right girl. So tell us, is that girl YOU or do you think these are best left for playing dress-up?! Keep reading »

3-D Glasses Get Fashionable

Leonora EpsteinMay 14, 2010 //

The way we live now: thanks to 3-D video games, porn, and movies (“Avatar,” say whaaa?) coming back from the retro grave, the dorky glasses that go with them have already been co-opted by the masses. Those flimsy blue and red specs of yesterday are no longer, and now there’s a host of high-design companies manufacturing 3-D fashion glasses. Above, the selection from Look 3D, which makes slick frames, some vintage-inspired, others girl-ed out with bubbly pink and purple hues. Geeks everywhere are outraged. [Kotaku.com] Keep reading »

What’s Up With These $400 J.Crew Glasses?

Leonora EpsteinApril 6, 2010 //

Hey, hey, hey, J.Crew, since when did you start slapping Barneys price tags on your previously affordable goods? While we still adore you, we got a bit of a shock yesterday while doing some online window shopping on your site when we saw these cute sunglasses for … $395? Um, what? The deal—they’re part of a special collection from the famous eyewear brand A. R. Trapp, a “family-owned-and-operated company … known for its elegant, timeless designs and expert dedication to the craft—many clients have been wearing the same A.R. Trapp styles for decades (Spike Lee and famed architect Philip Johnson have counted among them).”

The vintage vibe on these thick-framed specs is pretty neat, but neat enough to drop $400 on? Hmm … [J.Crew] Keep reading »
