Editor Pick: FRED Lunettes

Here in the store, we are always perusing and critiquing the newest glasses styles, and although there are many that we love, FRED has really won us over this winter. These statement glasses are just like a new diamond necklace--exquisite and infallibly chic--but, we'll let them speak for themselves!


We fell head over heels for FRED in this video (as though these glasses didn't already have our hearts)!





From all of us here at glasses, ltd., have a lovely weekend!

Linda Farrow

We are on a bit of a sunglasses kick right now. Hey, it might get dark early in the Midwest, but that's no reason to not sport stylish sun wears while we can. Perhaps, at night too? The spotlight has got to be put on Linda Farrow, possibly the hottest eye wear collaborator right now, she's teaming up with The Row, Dries Van Noten, and  Agent Provocateur--just to name a few. Here are a three styles and outfits we love:

Linda Farrow + Dries Van Noten


Linda Farrow + Agent Provocateur on Rihanna.

A one-off collaboration with Lady Gaga.

Snow Stylin'

It's our first big snow fall here in Chicago, so we're gearing up to hit the slopes in fashion. Looking ahead at Spring trends we're seeing a lighter mix of textiles and chic, all-black ensembles. Pair these upcoming pieces with sleek accessories and pops of jewel tones. These gold and red Tag Heure Original Rimless wears are great for women on the hills or as an everyday piece for men. They're ultra-adherent and made of light weight titanium, so you won't even know they're on when you're flying through the moguls.


For a little more versatility and serious style, look to MYKITA. You'll turn heads with the high-fashion, Mykita No1 Sun Elle and Time.

Fashion Frame: A Modern Day

Mod fashion hit it big in 2011, and we are only going to be seeing more of it in 2012. The sleek style lends itself to the freshness of a new year, with crisp lines, and bold patterns. Aren't we all seeking a little function and form as the new leaf turns? 
The style is showing up in interiors, on run ways, and on the street. A mod style is easy to achieve and sunglasses are the fashion accessory that ties the it-girl look together. 

So throw on your solid dress, slip on a pair of comfortable eye-catching shoes, mussy up your hair, and toss on some rounded shades. You're out the door in minutes taking on 2012 with your chicest look!
