Today, I've teamed up with Warby Parker Eyewear to review their new Spring 2014 and Palm Canyon Collections which I have to say are absolutely adorable. But before we get to the glasses themselves, I want to share why I love Warby Parker as a brand.
First of all, the brand is very well-priced. $95 for well-made and stylish prescription glasses?
Count me in. And you don't even have to leave your house! Warby Parker sends you- the customer- 5 pairs of glasses (which you select on their website) to try on free of charge. You then choose the ones you like best and send everything back. Finally, order your favorites with your prescription for $95- lenses included! So easy!
Warby Parker also does good. For every pair of glasses the brand sells, they give a pair to someone in need. By partnering with different nonprofit organizations (such as VisionSpring), Warby Parker has been able to distribute over 500,000 pairs of glasses. Now that's something to celebrate!
Finally, the company's name itself- Warby Parker- is a literary reference (!!!) to Jack Kerouac's Zagg Parker and Warby Pepper. The company is inspired by Kerouac to, "take a road less traveled and see the world through a different lens."
This brand could not be a better fit for Prose, Pearls & Polka Dots!
And now, onto the glasses...
Warby Parker makes quite a few glasses in tortoise shell- which is my absolute favorite pattern (remember tortoise shell everything?). The timeless pattern flatters every hair and eye color, and is a staple in many of my outfits.
Here are my favorite frames from the new collections:
Winston Sun in Congac Tortoise
Note: No longer available, so try this color.
Happy shopping!
