One noggin; four frames

What a difference a frame can make!  One of these is a definite "NO," 
but with the correct gradient or dark lenses, the rest work.

The Shape of Customers to Come

7/29/2014

S.P. relishes discovering new sunglasses and imagining
the profile of the customer who may wear them. And, 
while we are quite adept (if we do say so ourselves) at 
matching frame shapes to face shapes, we are often 
surprised by who can't live without which pair of sunglasses.  
Frame color is a big influencer as is the weather.   The sunny 
yellow Samoa below would likely appeal to many in early Spring.
Would you surprise us with your choice?  Would you
surprise yourself?

Yours in shades,
S.P.

We know how much you love your Costa Del Mar mirrored, glass lenses.  But, do you want to ski in them?  Now, Costa Del Mar has mirrored technology in their 580P plastic lenses as well--no longer limiting you to ambers and grays in a plastic lens.  Rejoice!

Yours in in mirrored 580P,

It's Great to be Fifty-something

It's great to be fifty-something--and Persol feels the same way.  Digging into their archives, Persol brings back four colors from 1960.  Classic, like you.

We loved receiving this post card from a friend (and customer).  She said it reminded her of us.  Some of us do have long necks and noses, but we hope she thought of us because of the shades!  And, what are our thoughts on the frame shape for this flock?  We applaud the wayfarer style as it widens the narrow faces and provides ample protection from the Florida sun!

Yours in shades,

Worth the wait

One of us at Sunglass Panache has mad, mad love for the "Carrie" frame by Tom Ford.  Mr. Ford knows what he is doing, and Carrie is one gorgeous frame.

Alas, Carrie did not look so gorgeous on "moi."   

Enter, the Isla frame from Costa Del Mar.  Same glam shape; better fit--on this noggin--; and Costa's excellent polarized lenses to boot.  Worth waiting for the right one.

We were keeping it playful today when we outfitted Daphne for a photo shoot.   Too cool for the pool, Daphne insisted on a lake location for these portraits.  The session began with our photographer getting the shot, but losing a pair of custom shades to the lake bottom.  Fortunately, the designer was on hand and was able to handcraft a new, bespoke pair for our waterfowl model.  Inspired by classic red lips--and Daphne's refined facial features--these stunning red cat-eye frames (with red lenses) were the result of the masterful designer's hands and vision.  

Daphne's assistants, Libby and Tierney (shown below), shared that this shoot was difficult since Daphne kept drifting away.  And, although Daphne herself was a challenge to work with, the results are beautiful!

Yours in shades,
S.P.

Inspiration can spring from any source; and when inspiration leads to more inspiration, it is infectious. S.P. saw a photo this morning which led to a website and then to a Pinterest board and more boards and 30 minutes of pinning. Expect these pins--and more--to inspire us as we buy for you for next season.

Yours in inspired shades,
