It’s that time of the year when I make my annual fall trip for my eye exam. We all know how important it is to get a yearly physical exam, but how many of us get our eyes checked every year? Yearly eye exams are crucial for maintaining optimal eye health, preventing eye disease and ensuring good eyesight as you get older. Since I’m also in major need of an update to my frame game, I was thrilled when Warby Parker reached out to me about the launch of their new Fall Collection inspired by "those who own their style, exercise their wit, and add life to the party.” What’s not to love about this new collection – it evokes a chic, classic vibe, which I so adore , and which fits right in with my wardrobe.
They’re introducing nine new shapes – so, there’s something for everyone.
Starting today the Fall 2014 Collection is available online and in stores and showrooms. Frames start at $95.
My favorites are the Baxter Ti in the dark tortoise shell,
the Crane Ti in a dark grey ombre,
the Hardy in a medium brown tortoise shell,
and the Oliver in the dark tortoise shell – they are all giving me that naughty librarian look that I love:-)
You can see the whole collection here, and if you don’t need an exam you can use their Home Try-On Service.
Here’s how it works:
It's as simple as that! I love that Warby Parker is a one-stop shop where you can have your eyes examined, get some fab glasses, and with every pair of glasses purchased, they donate a pair to people in need – they’ve already distributed one million pairs of glasses! Stay tuned in the coming weeks for an inside look at my experience getting my exam and new frames :-)
