Reading Glasses Depot

I will never forget the humiliation of my first glasses. As a teenager, every emotion is magnified, but this was legitimate. My father picked out these terrible round owlish frames that were way too big for my face. Then to make matters worse, they had a silly little dip on each side — you know, like the ones the high school librarian from the 50′s  had that attached to a chain around her neck. Oh, man…not stylish, in any way. I remember hiding my face in my locker every morning just so I wouldn’t have to face anyone before class. I’m still so scarred that I wear contacts around the clock just to avoid the embarrassment of glasses.

No more! This is the year for putting glasses frames demons to rest! I have found the cure — there are dozens of trendy and stylish frames options out there. Take a look at these, for example:

The "Trendies"in burgundy.

Or how about these sassy frames:

The sassy "SocialLite" in red.

Or even these for a cute look:

The darling "Harmony" in red.

Seriously, glasses frames can say a lot about who you are or who yo want to be. Choose carefully, but have a fun! Be a little daring, and treat yourself to a gift for the holidays that will make a strong statement in the New Year.

So you have a heart shaped face, hmmm? Lucky you!  Think, Paula Abdul, Kim Kardashian, Brooke Mueller,  and tell me they are not lovely faces. And after all, hearts are good things, right? Love, romance, happily ever after…hearts are good. But there definitely can be too much of a good thing. With a heart shaped face, you can’t be careless about choosing reading glasses, or that loveable heart will become an angry jab. No drugstore glasses for you, friend!

Luckily, you can keep your heart shaped face sweet as can be with attention to a couple small details.

• With a wide forehead and a narrow chin, find a frame that is wider at the bottom to balance your shape. Something like the Jelly Bean, perhaps.

• And you might think about choosing something in a light colored or even rimless. Reading glasses like these Gels would be a fashionable choice.

There are plenty of reading glasses frame options out there to flatter your heart shaped face. Now, here’s hoping your heart shaped face will translate to a heart filled life!
