The fancy boutiques. The perfumed air and the gorgeous full color ads on the wall of with thin, large eyed waifs in incredibly tailored clothing and gorgeous scenery. What could be better than shopping the high end stores? Luxury and fantasy mix and sell you not just a pretty pair of eyeglasses or a functional handbag, but a little oomph in your wardrobe, a secret happiness, a little reflection of yourself!
When they are successful, Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior, Dolce and Gabbana and their cohorts are able to carry me away to a different place; a better, lovelier world. Now, this is not always the case with every designer and every collection. But once in awhile, you find that pair of glasses that you could not love more had you designed it in your dreams.
I have seen cute pairs of non-designer eyewear that I liked just fine and that I thought were cute. But there is that special something that designer eyewear can offer. Like when you find that pair that fits your face like a dream in gorgeous peaches and cream tones! And the couple pairs I own seem to last forever! That is why when I come across a designer pair I really love, I get it, or wait for it to go on sale on the internet to buy them. If they are just the right pair, they give me an extra sense of spunk, fun, and even confidence when I look in the mirror.
