3.1 Phillip Lim Optical Frames

I have fallen head over heels for 3.1 Phillip Lim optical frames. After successfully finding a new pair of optical frames at a local colleague-recommended optometrist's office, I decided to bring my little sister to the same office. Before today my little sister has visited countless optometrist's offices to find "the one" this year. Fortunately, the Hiura & Hiura & Han (long I know...) office has a wide selection. They have an extremely high turn over with new styles coming in every week. Even though I just visited them about a month ago, they already have new styles in stock and even new brands they didn't carry before! Their newest additions include Jason Wu, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Derek Lam which are part of the parent group MODO. ALL NEW DESIGNERS!!!!!


I couldn't believe my little sister's luck. I instantly fell in love with the 3.1 Phillip Lim's optical frames. I particularly liked the Meira frames in tortoiseshell, especially since they reminded me of my Rayban Clubmaster sunglasses. Unfortunately, no one else in the office understood the quirky yet sexy look. In reality, there would be no way I would be able to wear the Meira frames with the prescription I have. I would basically have to make a frivolous purchase and buy them out of vanity.


In addition to the 3.1 Phillip Lim frames, I did fall in love with the clear brown MODO frames that look almost exactly like the frames pictured above. While both my sister and I agreed that the frames themselves has integrity on its own without a face to wear them, the lady who worked there thought they looked disagreeable on me. Her exact words were "they look like they wash you out." Although her opinion was on the negative side, it wasn't strong enough to persuade me. In my opinion, I think clear frames are new, sexy and are going to take off in terms of popularity. Thank goodness for great designers!!! I almost forgot to mention that I would definitely wear lipstick with these frames. Always!

My lucky little sister ended up selecting the green tortoiseshell thick-rimmed frames pictured above. Lucky her.

They're done! After pestering my optometrist office consistently throughout the morning. I must have asked them "are they done yet?" several times but, I finally was able to go pick them up! And besides the fact that they make me a little dizzy when I wear them, they're everything I wanted. They're clean, new, shiny and are plastic!!! If I take really good care of them, they'll last me forever. That's if my vision doesn't change.

For the first time in my life I want to wear frames often and outside of the home. I think it'll be my new look. And I wonder if anyone will recognize me! When I get a chance I'll definitely post a picture of myself wearing them.


It cost me an extra $35 to get a nose piece put on them but it was well worth it!

You know you want to be spanked by a sexy discplinary figure wearing frames

Ever since I was old enough to wear contact lenses I never wore my frames outside the house. Now that I'm getting older and the contact lenses are depriving my eyes of oxygen, I have made myself invest in a good pair of new lenses and frames today.

Very soon I'll be going to school, and on my crappy days I'll probably end up wearing glasses to school. And when I do, I don't want to look like a big dork. Right now I have cracks on both of my lenses coming from the top, and from some strange reason my glasses are bent. I didn't even observe this. My new optometrist did.

Since I didn't care to waste all my time at the optometrist's office, I made myself make a decision right after my exam. It came down to two pairs, either a metal Marc Jacobs frame or a plastic Prada frame. Although the guy who worked there preferred the metal frames because they looked like they blended well with my face (I think he was biased because he had a pair of metal frames), I always wanted a plastic pair so I was waiting for a second opinion. Thankfully the female optometrist who did my exam said she preferred the plastic frames since they were more fashion-forward and the frames looked softer on my face. Additionally, a random dude waiting around in the office agreed that the plastic frames looked the best. That was the response I was looking for people!!

Now I just have to wait a week to a week and a half until I can become the sexy librarian/school teacher/disciplinary figure.
