Lenscrafters RxHIBITION Event with Mena Suvari

Did you know that only 11% of the glass-wearing population actually get prescription for their sunglasses? Not a presription wearer myself, I can’t imagine spending a hot summer day sunglass-less, squinting and not protecting those peepers from the harmful UV rays. Well, Lenscrafters has a perfect solution for you, squinty eyed person with vision problems. Their RxHIBITION program allows you to replace the lenses of your Lenscrafters sunglasses with prescription ones, quickly and efficiently. You should also know, that if you buy eyewear from Lenscrafters, on top of lovely service and great selection, you will also be getting a 90-day unconditional guarantee, one-hour service, and free adjustments and cleanings for those brand new (sun)glasses of yours! Sounds like a damn good deal to me.

Lenscrafters  carries a vast variety of brands for every personality out there: D&G, Burberry, Ray Ban (my faves), DKNY, Tory Burch, and many more. You can even take an online quiz, just like the attendees of the RxHIBITION event did, to determine which eyeglass frame personality type you are. I, myself, was deemed a Style Maven (ha!), though I usually tend to gravitate towards the Classic Wayfarer look more often than not. Either way, the quiz is quick and fun, and helpful, especially if you are cripplingly indecisive.

The event’s gorgeous hostess - actress Mena Suvari - attended last week’s event, sharing that she’s a longtime fan of Lenscrafters, and prefers the classic shades like Ray Ban, herself. And though Mena had lasik eye surgery to fix her vision problems, she still rocks her fave Lenscrafters sunglasses all year long.

So tell me, do you use prescription sunglasses? I’d love to hear your stories!

Roots Spring 2011 Collection

Is there a brand more Canadian than Roots? With the exception of the signature HBC stripes, Roots is a company I think of, when I think of Canadiana. But looking at their Spring 2011 collection – no maple leafs in sight, all I could think of was…STYLISH!

Roots shoes and bags have become increasingly popular in the last few years - mainly because of the quality (which is superb), and the variety of styles available. Admittedly, though I don’t own any Roots leather pieces of my own, I was really impressed with the company’s Spring 2011 collection – supple leathers in colors ranging from sandy brown to hot pink, comfy-looking (and yet still stylin’) boots, leather vests, sophisticated shapes, and clothes that are perfect for layering. Impressive, indeed. 

My favorite pieces were definitely the ones made with colorful leathers…yellow, orange, pink, and camel - amazing for those sunny days ahead! The below two-tone messenger bag was one of my faves – a perfect blast of color for practically any outfit, no?

So if you haven’t checked out Roots Spring 2011offerings yet, make sure to stop by a store near you, because beyond the usual medley of hoodies and athletic pants, their leather goods might just make you rethink your next designer bag purchase – the quality of leather is that good.

Style Shop: Brand New Miu Miu Red Heart Coin Purse

So it’s finally here!!! A while back, I’ve decided to start my own shop on Style Blog, to get rid of some items in my closet – some pre-loved, and others absolutely brand new. Items will be posted on this site first, and will be listed on eBay if they don’t sell through the blog. All items will be “first come, first served”. You can ask me questions in the comments or via email. I’ll still be tweaking the layout here and there…but until then - here’s the first item in my shop!

Guaranteed authentic, brand new, with tags Miu Miu Heart Coin Purse. I bought it at Space Montevarchi this past summer, and still have the receipt. Have never used it, so it’s brand spanking new. The leather is patent and is in perfect condition. Hardware is engraved. Your purchase will include a black velvet Prada dust bag (standard to Space outlets).

Designer: Miu Miu
Colour: Bright Red

Buy it now: $150 Canadian

Shipping: $20 (worldwide), free pickup within Toronto available

Commuter Tie

Commuter Tie

Wondering what to get for a guy that has it all? How about this commuter tie? Thomas Pink’s amazing color palettes are second to only Paul Smith, and the IPod pouch on the under-side of the tie takes this accessory to another level! So clever and convenient – this is not your typical run of the mill boring tie! This item is no longer a limited edition piece, and will be available in stores and online this September! Love it!

SALE at Locher’s Paris

spank me

Ever since I first laid my eyes on Locher’s website, I was in love! Designer Nicole Locher handcrafts unique clothes and accessories with a vintage flare, and oh-so very naughty messages. The basic concept behind her collection is “perversion with a touch of class”. It’s definitely something that most would not dare show their parents…But anyone with a sense of humor would love Nicole’s adorable and playful accessories!

And if steep prices ($79 for a necklace) used to scare you away, be afraid no longer! Most items on the website have been reduced, and you can get awesome necklaces for only $49 a pop! But that’s not it, Locher’s is also having a Menage A Trois promotion. For any 3 necklaces you buy, you get to pick the fourth one for free!

I like them all…but I think the “F*** Off” necklace is my fave! Love the little boy’s pissy face.

don't play nice

love you

love you to death
