Ok, y’all…the weather has been drab as the summer winds down and we head into the fall/winter seasons. It’s time to brighten things up a bit. Daring colors are more popular than ever in fashion and your eyewear is not to be excluded. Check out some of the fun new colors and styles we are showing right now.

Above, from left to right, are the Kirk Originals Martha in S11-P114, Anne et Valentin Amy in 1010, and the Kirk Originals Otis in S09-P130.

Below, from left to right, are the Francis Klein Marcus in B98-1, Anne et Valentin Factory Seven in 0805, and the Theo moser in color 8.

These colors are truly brilliant and certainly fall into the category of ‘showstoppers.’ Are you daring enough to try one on? Stop on by Specs Optical any time….we WILL brighten your day.

Bahhh…it’s already here as far as we’re concerned. We’ve had a taste of 80 degrees already, now give it to us Mother Nature! Bring it on crazy lady, we are ready and armed with a whole bevy (when is this word ever used otherwise?) of stunning new sunglasses.

Check ‘em out, yo:

Come on by anytime to try these babies on. (They’re not actually babies, they’re sunglasses, silly.) These are just a few of the many super fun, stylish, and most importantly, UV-protective, pieces of new sunwear.

As certified opticians, all of us at Specs Optical are constantly in discussion with our two on-site Optometrists about how to best serve our clients. And now, more than ever, Dr. Madhok and Dr. Buchli are stressing the importance of wearing proper-fitting sunglasses (prescription or not) as a preventative for a bevy (here it is again!) of potential eye health issues.

So give us a call, or stop in, schedule an eye exam appointment, and let one of us fit you up with a striking new pair of sunglasses so you can enjoy this summer right.

Gabriel Gestin had a blast meeting and playing with our super cool clientele.

Below are a few pictures from the day. Check out the fancy spread of croissants, breads, wine and cheeses that John put together. Will we ever forget that imported smoked hand-carved ham? Not anytime soon…

The Spread!

Fresh from Henrik Orgreen’s airplane hanger, aviation inspired frames harking back to the glory days of flight. Take off with the Panther, Mercury, Wolf and other sortees.

Bevel has payed homage to the Gloved One himself, Michael Jackson. You’ll be standing on your toes with Beat it, P.Y.T., Billie Jean and lets not forget Thriller. Ah ah ah ahhh.

Our Parisian friends at Francis Klein have out done themselves again by romancing us with a stellar collection that features hand – set crystals, enamel flowers colored rivets, hand etching and painting. Be sure to check out Tatia, Tina and Camille.  Tres chic!

Don’t check that beret just yet, Anne et Valentine from the south of France have wowed us with Silver inlay. This just goes to show you that true love is more than skin deep. You will fall in love with the Poete, Plume and Patty.

Make sure you visit us at Specs Optical soon to get the best selection of these and many of the other fabulous frames from around the world that we carry.
