On Repeat in Oak St.

Welcome to our weekly segment, On Repeat in Oak St., here we'll tune you into the songs we're jamming to in our Oak St. store. We'll remix the songs with a little fashion or eyewear style to keep a couple of your senses stimulated.

This week we've got Passion Pit's, It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy. The Gossamer album, in general, reminds us of the end of hot summer days, when the sun starts going down earlier and brings with it that gorgeous warm light.

         


Rock out this Labor Day Weekend, Chicago!

Good Morning, Chicago!

We have all had those mornings, the ones wear you wake ready to seize the day, you sing in the shower and smile as you check your emails. Well, this blog post isn't about those, it's about waking up on the wrong side of bed and still looking good with a little help from our favorite accesory. Have you ever rationalized wearing your sunglasses and crouching down behind your computer screen at work, or actually justified keeping your shades on as you ride underground in the CTA train and then wear them all the way up the elevator to your floor? Heck! We're advocates of this Monday-blues like behavior, we'll even admit to the occasional sunglasses-at-night episode (sometimes you just need your dark eyewear). So here it is, the perfect Fall trend for the moments when all you want to do is hide a little. Oversized glasses!
Pair perfectly with a coffee accessory.

Livin' large on Olivia Palmero.
Big statement on Ann Hathaway.
A little more of that geek chic.
Oversized glasses are at the center of the boho look, which
will take you seamlessly from the warm to cool months.
How's that for oversized?

Stay tuned for a new blog segment, we'll be mixing beats and styles. Coming soon to a set of speakers near you!

L.E.F. in The City

In case you couldn't make it, we're giving you the insider peek at our latest Luxury Eyewear Fashion party. The weekend brought good weather and good people to a private gathering at a public house in Lincoln Park. Our crew mingled, danced, and laughed all in the name of  high-end eyewear. 



Thanks to all of our trend-setting friends who came out to support!

Cheers,
