Another great style from Cutler & Gross - am loving the colour. Great choice... Happy New Year to everyone...
Six months on, my first streetstyle picture. This guy happily let me photo him in his blue Ray-Ban Wayfarer RB5121 glasses. It's great to see people colour co-ordinating their specs.
An interesting mixture of influence for the spring-summer 2010 collaboration between Linda Farrow and House of Holland... with thanks to Klang on Freshnet
Thanks for following, visiting, loving, helping, sharing and just generally being good eyewear-admiring folk. Happy Christmas all - "Happy Holidays" to all those Stateside. And I leave you with a cheesy Christmas joke: What do you call a blind reindeer? No idea.

Call me Mr Uppity, but this week's reports that monocles might be back in fashion in London are nonsense. I really can't see it myself. With neither eye. An opticians has perhaps hired a more creative PR firm than before, but monocles will forever remain an eccentricity of Chris Eubank, Sir Patrick Moore, Henry Hatsworth and the like.And just as Eubank, Lord of the Manor of Brighton's walking
I love these glasses (and the hair) but, I must admit, I haven't a clue who makes them. Ideas welcome!Photo courtesy of Trendycrew.
It's been a while since I've seen vintage shades as good as these. They're by Italian eyewear giant Safilo and Elisa found them in the bottom of a drawer in a shop in her parents' village in Italy.I think they're 1960s or 70s. I love the bridge and the detail where the temples join the frame.With big thanks to eli__sa for letting me publish this terrific photograph. Feel free to comment if you
It brings me great pleasure when I can rave about some British designers and they don't come much greater than Oliver Goldsmith.

Claire Goldsmith says, “The collection has been designed by the team I have put together since re-launching the Oliver Goldsmith brand.
"The OG re-launch has been incredibly well received and the classic designs taken from the archive once again can be seen to be worn on some of the coolest faces out there.
"But vintage is just one trick and we can do so much more. Legacy represents the future.”
I agree. Great shapes and I love the mixture of
1950s vintage details with more 1970s and 1980s finishes.
Hold on to that design
team Claire!
There's much debate about this picture of
January Jones, who plays
Betty Draper in
Mad Men. I can't imagine why.
When is Mad Men back on telly?
A 10-minute slideshow of pictures of Belgian model Élise Crombez wearing luxury eyewear brand Gold & Wood glasses and sunglasses. There are some great styles included...
Primetime UK television got the twitterati talking this week when Jo Brand presented Have I Got News For You wearing an unusual, asymmetric pair of black and white glasses.
To be honest they didn't go down very well in most tweets; eyewear ignorance prevailed.
But Eye Wear Glasses thought they were bloody brilliant. Alain Mikli at his best. The style worn was AO715.
If you want to see how these Alain Mikli specs look on Jo Brand you can watch HIGNFY on iPlayer here... Until the BBC takes it down on Friday... Oh, and you can only watch this if you're in the UK.
Must do more on Mikli... Thanks to contactsandspecs, who sell the above specs, for the picture.
Good quality German glasses with a tad more attitude than most:
Framers. A new brand for me.... I love the amber specs (top), and the Frisbee-throwing attire (bot).
