Etsy Find of the Day: Chigal



Sadly my bad vision is starting to plummet towards it's death to the point that I have to get glasses again. I used to wear them in Seattle for driving, but haven't touched them in the near-3 years I've lived in New York because I drive a car about as often as I floss my teeth.
But I'm so blaaahh about everything out there. A friend of mine (actually, Erika from Au Revoir Simone- have I mentioned how obsessed I am?) got these fucking adorable vintage glasses and had an optometrist fit lenses for her. So I went trolling around my old friend Etsy and found a pretty awesome store with rad vintage glasses, Chigal. And if you're not vision-challenged, they have a few really hot vintage sunglasses. Something else to note is that they have really great photos of all the glasses, something that a lot of etsy store lack in that makes a huge difference!

I need to get new glasses. There is a pair of Chanel frames that are so perfect that angels sang when I tried them on. However, I will not be able to eat for a month if I buy them.

I think maybe you've just solved all my problems. These are awesome.

PS. You are friends with one of the girls from Au Revoir Simone? You are officially the coolest person ever. Ever. <3

I don't think I actually get to call her my friend since I see her like once every 6 months, but we worked together at dwell and we email all the time. So maybe I still get to call her my friend, just not a good friend whatsoever.
