Others to follow

When I started this blog, I couldn’t find an eyewear blog that covered the things I am interested in.
Now there are people in the industry doing it way better than I ever did.

I don’t think I will be posting here any longer, but I’m keeping the archives up.

Specs & makeup

I’ve started to wear makeup a lot more, so this video from Refinery 29 has some very helpful tips, especially about eyebrows and eyeliner. I always forget my eyebrows. Mine are very pale, so I tend to get them tinted rather than fill them in myself. Way too uncoordinated!

Apologies for the autoplay!

Karen Walker Fantastique – Number One Critter

I’ve been itching to see close-ups of these sunglasses since I first saw a photo of them, floating on those balloons without a face, just hinting at how gorgeous they could be. Eyegoodies have just put them on sale! If you’re in New Zealand, you can buy them from Good As Gold.

They’re even better than I imagined! A bunny right over the bridge!

Zambesi

New Zealand fashion company Zambesi have been making wonderfully dark clothing since 1979. I often walk into their store and want everything, but the only Zambesi item I own is a dress that I’m told is from around 1986. They have just launched their first eyewear collection. It’s a collaboration with an optician and eyewear designer by the name of Joshua Matta.

Some pairs of the sunglasses have mismatched lenses:

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Cari Zalloni, founder of Cazal.

Cazal made one of my all-time favourite pairs of glasses.

Emma in vintage Lanvin glasses

One night out causing mischief, I met Emma, who was kicking ass at karaoke. After hanging out a few times, she once turned up wearing these amazing vintage Lanvin glasses! I’ve been begging to take a photo of her in them ever since and I finally convinced her today.

Google’s project glass

Jo — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 02:39:55 +0000

We’ve talked about augmented reality and heads-up displays here in the past, but it looks like Google are on the way to making it happen.
The video is a mock-up of what it would be like to wear them if they existed.
What do you think?

I think products like these these are an inevitability and I look forward to them. The only issue I have is I don’t like voice control and I’d be interested to see what kind of input device (your phone?) they will come up with, or whether it will use eye-tracking and blinks and stuff like that. I think I’d also probably have to stop to look at it for fear of walking into things.

Lace in the face!

Summer is over here in New Zealand, but I am still dreaming of sunglasses.

Chris Mascre of Vue dc has a his own range of metal and acetate eyewear, Chris M. I love the contrast of the acetate frames with the metal bridge and temples.
