My thing for glasses

I’ve always wanted to wear glasses. A pair with lots of character, with a thick big frame that adds a sophisticated feel to your look and maybe speaks out: “I’m smart. I’m interesting. I’m different”.

It’s a known obsession of mine. All of my four-eyed friends think I’m crazy and keep on telling me: “if you’d really need glasses there is no way you would actually want them”.

Well, I do. I used to spend most of my teen years getting my sight checked twice a year and trying to convince the optometrist that “maybe I do need them”. But I don’t. I even remember that at one point I spent most of my tips money from waiting tables on a ridiculously expensive frame with a fake lens, until I realized it was stupid and gave up on the idea.

These days I don’t bother about it anymore, but I still love glasses and secretly envy those who are lucky enough to need them.

The person who first created my lust for glasses was the singer Lisa Loeb. I loved her music and adored her iconic cat-eye glasses.

Well, what do you know.. Lately I found out she actually designs her own line of glasses. You can find it here.

In these past years, eye glasses have become a very trendy accessory and more and more people are realizing it’s an item that can easily upgrade a look, even these people here, whom you may find familiar…

But the guy who wears them best is Johnny Depp. After all, there is no sexier thing than a man in glasses.

In order to compensate myself for the lack of glasses, I designed this necklace. If I’m not wearing a pair on my eyes, at least I’ll wear one on my neck.
