Glasses-not so nerdy anymore
Over the weekend, I got this pair of Barton Perreira glasses.

I’ve always been a fan of Oliver Peoples. Soon after OP was acquired by Oakley, Bill Barton resigned as President and Patty Perreira resigned as VP of design. This is when the Barton Perreira line of glasses was born. The frames are hand made in Japan, they’re top quality, and the designs are great.
Ryan Gosling is channeling James Dean in his Barton Perreira glasses:

This style of glasses (the plastic, nerdy looking ones) looks good on many people. It’s just a matter of finding which shape looks best on you.






Glasses have been featured in runway shows.






Celebrities love them too. It’s a great way to change your look without doing something permanent, like dying your hair or getting bangs.
