Without You There's No Me


(c/o Proopticals.com "Lynn" frame)

I like to think of eyeglasses as an accessory piece, something that I can add to complete an outfit. Since I don't like wearing contacts, I always look for stylish yet practical specs. Proopticals.com was kind enough to let me choose a pair of eyeglasses from their website and this cat-eye pair was a love at first sight. At $19.95, I say it's a pretty good bang for your buck! ;)

And just how gaaawwwwjuuusss is this lace dress? It was described as a "buyer's choice" and I simply couldn't resist! I love the Victorian feel to it. The delicate lace overlay top and the scallop-hemmed bottom make an irresistible combination. I wore it with a black moto jacket and black lace-up wedge booties to make the outfit look more Fall-appropriate ;)  It was too cold outside for me to take a picture of the dress without the jacket, but you can see a full picture of it on the website. Thank you Meghan from La Quaintrelle for this wonderful little white dress :)

Ha funny, I just finished a pre-written post about (fake) glasses for Friday in which I ask if glasses are an accessory just like a belt or necklace etc. or not. And then I come here and read about it :)

These glasses are cool, they suit you and you look so pretty in the photos! And I always love your Eiffeltower bag so much! <3

First off, I adore these eyeglasses on you. You look so freakin' cute in them. I think I need a pair like those in my life. I loathe contact lenses, but I wear them everyday. I wish I had 20/20 vision. Maybe one day I'll be able to get Lasik.

And now on to that gorgeous dress of yours. I love it so much on you. You know I'm a sucker for anything scallop-y. Does it run true to size?

xx Love & Aloha

p.s. You can never have enough shoes! And if you don't have room, that means you need a bigger shoe closet. Tee hee! Get the Maddens, I'm sure they're hella comfy. ;)

I friend of mine wants to get that kind of specs too but she keeps hesitating. I keep telling her to go get a pair, maybe I should show her this post, hopefully it will convince her :D

Love your outfit, and yes those glasses are just gorgeous!

Hello Amy said...

I'm a huge fan of your blog, but don't comment much. (I'm quiet!) But I've been wanting a pair of cat-eye frames for a while now. I think these might just be the ticket! Thank you so much for sharing them! :D

Good to know about these glasses, I am pretty much blind but am also not a fan of contacts. My glasses really are part of who I am, so I'm always interested to learn about new companies!
