Well who’d have thought it - I’ve gone all Y2K on your asses! TOTALLY IN LOVE with these Eyevan Thompson gigs and the purple lenses just top off the (new for me) yellow gold frames to perfection imo. I’m hooked.
The detail on the arms is beautiful - and unexpected given how sleek the front of the frames are.
My new go to glasses 💜💛
Rather annoyed at my other half, who came out of the shower this morning saying ‘maybe we should go in the van after all?’
Oh my days. I had a motorhome ticket in my basket yesterday and he said he’d rather camp… I realise it’s unlikely, but anyone selling their motorhome ticket?
Thanks
I realised I didn’t show you my finished Lunetterie Generale frames after I got the lenses done. I finally went with Hoya Sensity Colours - Gradient Blue photochromic lenses and I’m delighted with how they turned out. They are becoming one of my fave go-to sunnies!
*Edited for clarity re: lens colour
I hope they appreciate my colour coord as much as you guys do!
Cutler and Gross Cranley 1425 today - totally obsessed with the new C&G titaniums. They are the perfect proportions for my face
Great excuse to road test my new JMM Comanche in tempest. After wanting a rectangular shaped frame for ages, but not landing on one that didn’t make me look like an extra in an 80s electronic music video, I finally came across these Comanche and thought I’d give them a try!
I love them - the acetate on the top of the frames is super classy. A great fit for me - nice and small - and the lens colour is cool to look through. 🤎
One of our frequent contributors talks about the hex codes or pantones for colours matching but I can’t remember who - I want to get a custom lens done with Hoya but want to give them more information than just a photo. Can anyone help me? 💜
Heatwave incoming in the UK - can only mean one thing, pop pickers!
Is 8 pairs of sunglasses too many for a weekend in a field? Asking for a friend… 😉
Hi there! Thought I’d update you on my new frames now I have had the lenses fitted. I went for the Sensity fast in the end - they activate to cat 2 which is a lovely light brown. I’m delighted! And because they are fast, they have a background hue (I believe is around 8% but not found any info on this from Hoya website). I added my favourite Meiryo coating and I’m chuffed to bits.
I wore them all day on Saturday, day and night, inside and outside. So comfy and the photochromic was great - truly fast activating and fade back.
Very happy!
Luckily a lady was walking her dog and found my parcel thrown in a bush and drove round to give it to me….
Taking inspo from u/justbekaws as always!
C&G Cranley + beads handmade by me
Check out these cuties! Bought for £30 unused - RRP £295… I’m going to fit them with single vision pink solid tint lenses with Ultima coating from Lensology as I noticed they have a 15% lenses sale this bank holiday. Even better! All in all will cost me less than £100 for a brand new pair of funky designer glasses. Can’t wait to see how they turn out! 🩷 Hopefully even better than my ChatGPT version in photo 3 😜
I’m very much enjoying the thrifting version of eyewear collecting!
What we wearing? Gorgeous sunny day here in the UK this weekend.
Julien mink for me! ♥️
