Lusting Over Warby Parker!

Have you gals heard of Warby Parker specs? I've seen a lot of bloggers sporting them recently and I was really thinking of trying on a few pairs. Awesome thing is that they have a show rooms in big metropolitan cities - I could pop into their SF one. 

Their retro styles are really drawing me in. A few months ago, I ordered a pair of glasses from coastal.com and it was okay. While I liked the styles, I only ordered to claim the first free pair. I could do a review on that if you guys are curious!

Here are some of the styles from Warby Parker that I've been lusting... a lot.

Beckett Stiped Evergreen




Modern librarian nerd chic. Right?  Would be a great addition to your office drawer - looking smart and sharp.

Chandler Olivewood

The bright yellow and contrasting oak colors make the glasses look unique and interesting. I love the sleek wayfarer design, retro frames and simple style. A person wearing this would look nerd chic and enjoy banned books, good coffee and the urban lifestyle. 

Clyde Blue Marblewood
Cozy and retro fitting - a bit of a cat eye and a swirly color wheel.  This would be awesome for casual outings with friends, or novel writing at place of choice.



Most of their specs are $95, and that includes the frames, anti reflective lens and a 30 day return policy. The cool thing is that you can try it on at home ;) You pick 5 pairs of frames and they send it to you at no cost. It comes with a return label so you can ship it back. You have no obligation to purchase but it works out all the better if there is a frame you love. Pretty reasonable, me thinks! :) 

Off to choose my frames! Have you gals every bought or tried anything from Warby Parker? One of my favorite bloggers, Laura from Worldly Delights recommended them to me awhile back. She sports them a lot on her blog and looks ridiculously awesome all the time!

Awesomely cool, awesomely retro :)

These are so cute and retro! I've noticed a lot of bloggers sport them lately too. The Olivewood and Marblewood are probably my faves. I would totes get these if I wore glasses! :)

I love these types of glasses! I've been trying to get a pair myself, but not sure where to get them from.

Ohhh! Interesting =] In Canada we have an online retailer called Clearly Contacts, and they often have giveaways so often, and allows you to try it at home! I respect companies that have their customers' interest as a priority!

You are too sweet! I seriously love their vintage-inspired frames. They just came out with a new Rx sunglasses line, and the frames look really good! You should try them even just to look to see how they look on you. No commitment! :)

Chandler olivewood looks ultra chic! Thick-rimmed glasses are all the rave here in Denmark. Almost everyone is sporting one in the city. I've been craving to get another pair myself! My current ones are Chanel and I love them to bits. Please show us when u finally get your new frames!

Whether you’re looking for glasses to replace your old one or simply trying to be stylish and want to try on a new look, then check out GlassesShop.com. They deal directly with manufacturers and having the eyewear made and shipped directly to you. I had good experience, strongly recommend it.
