"Hot Girls Wear Glasses"

With an impending eye appointment in my near future, I have been noticing eyeglasses more and more. Do I need them? most likely not, but do I want them? well...sorta! For sometime now I have been uber jealous of those who get to don those neat little (pain in the ass i'm sure) objects that sit so perfectly upon the bridge of the nose. 
I digress...


Of course it is news to no one that glasses have been taking center stage on both catwalks and street style blogs for some time now. The "Geek Chic" trend has been well over played in some opinions and frankly a little silly to others. Here in Portland the hipster crowd has been sporting the frames relentlessly (sometimes even without the lenses...really people?). Thanks to the ironically hilarious IFC series 'Portlandia' "hot girls" everywhere have been snatching up some non-prescription frames.


I would prefer mine WITH lenses, a touch of geek, a side of chic and a heaping helping of timeless perfection, hipster irony not necessary.
