The Room: It's Looking a Lot Like the Holidays: Warby Parker

I am pretty sure that you guys out there are a lot like me and are always on the look out for new and unique gift ideas for friends and family. (Or for yourself!)
Well, the holidays are fast approaching so it's time to get serious about crossing off a few of these people from your never ending list!
I recently came across a really neat eyeglass company called Warby Parker. They have stand alone shops in NYC, Boston and LA as well as stores within boutiques across the US.
If you don't live near a shop, you can order all of their eyeglasses and sunglasses online. They even have a convenient virtual try-on feature.

Their 2013 Winter Collection is comprised of six new shapes in five new colours. The amazing thing is that all glasses in this collection are only $95 US including prescription lenses!
I have been wearing glasses since the tender age of 2, so I get really excited when I find frames I love at such incredible prices. I remember being called "four eyes", but those days are long gone.

Glasses are cool again!

Here are a few of my favourites...all with that perfect, rustic meets modern vibe that is so hot right now.

Webb in Amber

Welty in Plum Marblewood

Watts in Newsprint Grey

The other really neat thing about Warby Parker is that for every pair of glasses sold they provide a pair to someone in need. It's nice knowing, especially at this time of year, that your purchases will help others less fortunate. Love this.
