This stylish young lady caught my eye…

Looking back over her left shoulder, she quietly conveys a feeling of romance and femininity.
One can clearly see her confident sense of style and feel her excitement as she anticipates an upcoming weekend away in this softly ruffled YSL dress and statement-making Prada shoes.

“It’s really amazing. They’re so much hotter when they wear the glasses.” – Neil Sedlak

Ok, pretty funny eh, we’re so much hotter when we wear the glasses! Do you think?

Well maybe if you’re Audrey Hepburn wearing ‘hot’, fashionable eye glasses? But where does one ‘real-life’ woman find these spectacles???

See I’ve been on the hunt for ‘hot’ fashionable eye glasses for almost a year now. Yup a year. I’ve called on all the ‘well known’ optical stores…from the one with the big orange glasses to the one with the swinging symbols that customers smile and center their eye under. But I keep coming home empty-handed.

I think, here I am, a ‘real-life’ fashion consultant (who has no particular fame or fortune to speak of making me quite ‘real-life’), who loves style, living in the big urban city of Toronto and in desperate need of a chic pair of spectacles with none to be found! I say ‘desperate need’ because with each passing day, trying to view anything up close, clear and crisp with my current glasses is becoming more and more difficult. My new prescription for stronger lenses is tucked away in my bag, ready to be handed over at any time, as soon as the need be but the need has not been.*big sigh* There are no ‘hot’ glasses to be had in TO, no not-a-one!

Until I found Spectacle!  http://spectaclelovesyou.blogspot.com/

With Audrey’s picture being the first thing you see on their blog, I knew I had finally found a style-worthy eyewear boutique!

After being in Spectacle for only a short time, I quickly realized I had found exactly what I was looking for: a wide choice of quality brands that boast fashion forward styles! But the train didn’t stop there. Their staff were wonderful. Riki-Kay and Jeff educated me on what styles would work best for me and why. They gave me exceptional customer service!

Then imagine my delight when I was told they have three, yes three locations to serve us Torontonians (and all my amazing clients) who are desperately seeking ‘good style’ and ‘good service’ when it comes to our eyewear needs!

Well, now I’ve gone from finding nothing to finding two pairs of ‘hot’ glasses. I’ve found two styles I absolutely love!

Which one do you think I should choose?

Ok, so this is me.

And these are the styles I love!

1. The Dita Confidante

Modeled by this lovely lady.

AND

2. The Dita Statesman

Modeled by this lovely lady.

So what do you think? Do you like? Which one do you like?

Which one do you think I should choose? Which one do you think you would choose?

Do you think I’ll be so much hotter when I wear the 1. Confidante or 2. The Statesman glasses? *wink, wink*
