I fell in love with a pair of frames.

As you probably know, I've been on a search for the perfect frames.

I think I'm in love.

They're legit vintage frames (circa 1950, never worn), made my a company popular in the 1950's called Imperial Optical.

This particular model is the "Duchess Libby Brown Fade". It's made of aluminum and plastic, with etched gold detailing at the brows. Gorgeous? Yes.

Originally I found a darker model: 

but ended up loving the lighter version (see the difference above) because I feel like it's more approachable and less overbearing. Since cat eye glasses are so dramatic in their silhouette, the last thing I wanted was something crazy distracting. Especially since I've taken a liking to lipsticks in bright colours (Helloooo Russian Red!). Having said that, I still wanted you to notice the glasses and their gorgeous detailing - with the frames still looking clean and feminine. Since I already have black hair, and have a pair of dark large rimmed frames as it is, I decided to change it up with these light brown/gold combos. It's a neutral, and I feel like the lighter version is more friendly looking. Cat eye glasses have a tendency to look angry to me haha

I wanted to find a pair that were vintage, flattering and still pretty. I think I found them!

Here's to hoping this works out! I'm tired of walking around blind!
