Just as I was blogging on and on about cat eye shaped glasses and sunglasses the most wonderful thing happened. Dickson from Face a Face came in and showed me the most amazing pair of guess what, cat eye glasses. The Ivory is a new frame and it is beautiful. Available in classic finishes as well as burgundy and a bright aqua this cat eye gets mod by increasing the size and incorporating a rolled metal hinge. The rolled metal gives a nice contrasting pop to the various colors as well as an edgy twist to the frame.
With each new frame I think to myself I can love no other pair of glasses greater than this, and then I find myself counting the days. This time until my Ivory in color 513, burgundy with almost retro looking white rolled metal hinges, arrives. I guess it’s true what the say, love is infinite………..
What you focus on expands…
All this talk of cat-eye sunglasses and I log in to online news and see a link to this pic of Scarlet Johansson rocking some awesome cat eye sunglasses. Her outfit appears to be vintage so the glasses may be as well. However there are a number of current eyewear designers revisiting the cat eye look if you want to recreate this.

Available in 6 colors all with a cork like pattern embellished on their surface, you can choose from brown, blue, red, green, violet or for those lovers of light colored eyewear- tan. measuring in at 51-20 it is a nice size for most ladies.
So why do we love it? First of, it’s beautiful- this is always top criteria. But we love it even more because it appears to be a bold, chunky substantial frame, yet is crafted out of titanium.
