Need New Lunettes

My geek-chic alert radar has been sent in to hyperdrive. To clarify, it's not a want, but a NEED. So here I am, spoilt for choice. Should I pick Rio or Paris? Choosing a vacation destination should not be a problem, but these Prism glasses - oh- they're from London and a pair comes in an exquisite crystal box. I love their designs, the frames are simple and flattering, angular to complement the round and round to complement the angular. And and and I really want to try them on. Where's the stockist when you need one? Barney's seems to be out, and it is coming soon to Opening Ceremony, but I just can't wait. There are some things you just need to get your hands on, and put them on yo FACE. As with clothing, an accessory has to fit in seamlessly with the whole equation! Secretly, I'm lusting after the zebra horn, but wear it too often and the kitsch factor compounds. How can I resolve the dilemma about colours then? Crystal grey or dark tortoise? I'm somewhat leaning towards the dark tortoise now. (Think...) It's either the Rio in crystal grey or Paris in dark turquoise. They come at 205 pounds a pop. Hmm. There is always the option of getting both, but I will explicitly state here that I would most certainly like a pair as a present. Please!

What do you think? I have eyeballed their handsome blog, but seeing is certainly not believing. FEELING is. Along with seeing. Don't miss out on the feeling.


London in Dark Tortoise Shell (Large, rounded. Also, probably too large for my small head)

Paris in Zebra Horn (Adorably described as coquetteish - tres mignonne!)

Rio in Crystal Grey (Cat eyes. Look smart, think smart, like an architect.)

Jessica Stam rocks this look. So now it changes colour too. Awesome!

Conclusively, unless I can make an informed decision, I shall be trapped in a Pandora's Box situation, where curiosity kills the cat. Not to fear, for there is light at the end of the tunnel, as the cat is survived by her kittens and remaining 8 lives. Time will pass!

-Miss C.

Update: They have some remaining styles at Barney's namely the Rios, Londons, New Yorks... No Paris in sight. Arriving in Opening Ceremony next week!
