fifi lapin wears lunettes

my sister loves this illustrated bunny (lapin). in fact if i think if my sister was a barnyard animal she would in fact be a lil bunny. fifi is too cute and uber fashionable. i was able to find fifi avec lunettes.

see more of this fashionable lapin

love the look.

one of my favourite designer blogs is decor8 . it inspired a lot of things i have in my home and in my everyday appreciation of nice things.

in any case here is a pic of a stylish being, so together.

i appreciate the bold contrast of black acetate against blond locks. she's also dressed pretty well too.

the person, thing and places that inspired my blog

mr. sartorialist himself. it's seven minutes behind HIS camera.

ironically the video starts with him, wearing spectacles. not sure what brand they are, but will endeavour to find out. i love the look of these glasses. most people i know can respect a round frame but feel it's too extreme to wear as an everyday pair. he does it right.

another new year. 2011

i've been busy helping friends look for their perfect next pair. so far the count is up to seven with several more coming. this year for me is about art and travel. so to complement the art part of my resolution, i've purchased a new camera to be able to add my own photos to my blog and really capture the essence of street spectacle. xo to a new year and new specs.

i did receive a sweet lil gift from a friend of mine during the holidays. i think it's appropriate to use this as my feature photo because they are glasses, they were a gift and i took them with my new camera.

here's a little story aobut them ::
A New Concept in Eyewear.
Warby Parker was founded with a rebellious spirit and a lofty objective: to create boutique-quality, classically crafted eyewear at a revolutionary price point.

A collaboration between four close friends, Warby Parker was conceived as an alternative to the overpriced and bland eyewear available today. Prescription eyewear simply should not cost $300+. The industry is controlled by a few large companies that have kept prices artificially high, reaping huge profits from consumers who have no other options. By circumventing traditional channels and engaging with our customers directly through our website, Warby Parker is able to provide higher-quality, better looking prescription eyewear for under $100.

We meticulously crafted our first collection of 27 limited run styles, plus one monocle, using only the finest custom acetates and materials. The Warby Parker aesthetic is vintage-inspired, with a fashion forward twist - and every pair is custom fit with anti-reflective, polycarbonate prescription lenses.

Available exclusively through the Warby Parker website, our glasses retail for $95.

Eyewear with a Purpose.
We believe that everyone has the right to see. Unfortunately, millions of people around the world today don’t have access to proper vision care. To help address this problem, Warby Parker partners with renowned non-profits, such as RestoringVision.org, to deliver one pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair that we sell. In doing so, we enable you to share the gift of vision with someone who can’t see today and give them the opportunity to read, to work and to live a fuller life.
