Spectacle of the Day - The L Word Special

Feb 6, 2008

I am very impressed by the eyewear on The L Word this season! Alice and Adele are wearing some gorgeous specs that back-up my prediction that glasses with a bit more depth are coming into style again. Hooray! I'm terribly excited.

Alice - Episode One

In Episode 1 of Season 5 Alice was wearing this pair:

They're okay... but nothing special.

Alice - Episode Four

Then Episode 4 came along bringing a wonderful new pair of specs with it!

Gorgeous!

Look at that depth and shape... Her pretty eyes stand out so much more.

Typically Alice is the bespectacled pin-up girl, but this season a newcomer has arrived. Malaya Rivera Drew plays Adele - a Laney-Boggs-esque geek with a fabulous pair of transparent specs.

Ah my glee! Cute girls in cute glasses!

I'm sure girls would make passes at these girls who wear glasses - even if the boys don't.

Today I would like to share with you my love of Polyvore

It started with the glasses (of course) and grew from there. I would love to wear something like this to work. Check out the lunch box! Too cute. Gala Darling I shake my fist at you for introducing me to such an addictive site!

So at the moment I am house hunting. Joy! I can't wait to be back in Melbourne but this whole housing thing is quite stressful. There is so much competition it hurts. I get very attatched to houses very quickly so every rejection is heartbreak.

To distract myself from the stress I've been plotting things I want to do once I'm in the city. Admittedly a lot of them are just things I've been too lazy to do in the past.

Start an vocal group
Get swing dancing lessons
Learn to cook vegetarian meals
Go running frequently
Learn more chords on the mandolin
Meditate
Play lawn bowls competitively
Drink more water
Develop my own style
Design glasses
Eat more fresh fruit and vegies
Sew a red riding hood
Read more comics
Buy a digital camera
Get out more!

Anyone have any suggestions on what type of camera? I want something thats small enough to carry with me everywhere. I was thinking perhaps a Canon Ixus...

I'm struggling to decide on a model/colours for my new pair of specs! There are just too many options. I'm going to get one of Roger Henley's frames custom made in whatever colours I choose. It will most likely be one of my boss' designs, they are so unique. I adore my work! So many pretty glasses! I've decided to go for a frame with a little more depth than before. Narrow frames are definitely on the way out: Presbyopes rejoice! I've come to realise that shallow frames make my eyes look small. I'm thinking a salmon colour frame front just for something different. It's so exciting to be able to have a pair of specs custom made!

That's all from me for now. I have a kitten in need of attention.

Spectacle of the Day - Zenka

Zenka frames are the most creative designs I have seen in quite some time! Oh the innovation... So pretty much the concept is (as far as I can gather, the site is in French) that there is a basic frame structure holding the lenses but this base has numerous add ons to completely change the look. I don't mean in a "oh look, I can change the temples!" kind of way but a "oh look, I can add a new frame front as well as temples!" kind of way... They have to be seen to be believed! Therefore I will remain in disbelief until I see solid evidence infront of me!

Okay, so I believe it. It's genius. Pure genius. So simple. I want one. Who knows what the quality is like... but it is a European frame which gives it some promise!

I'm very very excited.

Have a look for yourself!

I gotta gets me an Evolutyp!
