I wanted to talk about a really cool eyeglass company today.

L.A. Eyeworks has been designing glasses and sunglasses for a number of years now, and their funky style always shows through. These are not glasses you’ll find on everyone, everywhere. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, often with a retro twist, this is a great company to start with. The acetate colors they work with are amazing, coming in colors from crystal, and translucent green, all the way to a stunning marbled black, with veins of blues and reds. The bridges fit perfectly, and the styles are really meant to be worn, although they do some great advertising, too.

For those who don’t know, a contract for a modeling job with L.A. Eyeworks has been one of the prizes on Ru Paul’s Drag Race.

They work a lot with titanium, as well, because it’s so durable and lightweight.

L.A. Eyeworks is definitely worth a second look. And, perhaps more than that!

If you like the Silver Lake you should check out some other cat eyes by LA Eyeworks.

There is the Blackbird, an acetate style measuring in at 50-17 and six colors:berry white, moon tortoise, fuschia slide, black static, bluzino and bronzino

The classic Echo Park, another acetate style a bit more angular than the Blackbird, sporting rivets and available in 4 colors: blue abbey, naughty pearl grape, red abbey, naughty gold pearl

The Silver Lake as featured previously. This chunky cat eye style is crafted of titanium so lighter weight than the others. Available in six colors as well all finished in a corky texture.

Finally for a radical cat eye look check out the M Cornu. Measuring in at 48022 the frame is slightly narrower than others but has a very deep lens. Available in five colors: blue abbey, red stir, creamore latte, plum camel and coffee tortoise.

With the above Cate eye selection from LA Eyeworks there really is something for everyone.

Today’s frame pick is the Silverlake by LA Eyeworks. This gorgeous frame is big and bold and oh so yummy. 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. What does this mean to the wearer. Comfort! Pure, lightweight, unencumbered comfort which is not an easy characteristic to come by in the world of “statement glasses”.
