Fashion Friday 11/22

Cat eye frames are all the rave these days. That being said, the cat eye shape can vary in many different sizes and shapes.
For example Rihanna below.
Her face shape is one of a diamond, giving her one of the best shapes that allow for the fit of a cat eye frame.  One size and shape fits her marvelously, while the other fits a bit too narrow in terms of width and the shape is too extreme, not flattering her already high cheekbones.

Wonders of the World

Many of the wonders of the world... 

Ok, so maybe we are over exaggerating...
But for all frame wearers, we question the authenticity of what we are buying, and is it really worth that price tag?
We can all agree that we don't want to pay an arm & a leg for something made for $.75 overseas.

Below we have a video of the making of Orgreen eyewear collection.
Designed and developed in Denmark, each frame is handmade in Japan, known and respected for its high standards and irrefutable quality.

Fashion Friday

So often our customers ask what shape/size fits my face best?
Daniel Craig is a fine example of wearing eyewear that fits him wonderfully vs. eyewear that is ill fitting.
(see below)
This round shape actually makes his oblong face a bit longer, and the shape and size is a bit narrow for his face.
This aviator shape draws attention outward and the fit and size of this frame is perfect!



OVAL FACE SHAPE

Features

Oval faces are well balanced, with a gently curved jawline that is slightly narrower than the forehead. Cheekbones are generally high and face length is approximately 1.5 times the width. Oval is a versatile face shape with features that can work with a variety of frames.

Best Bet

Square and rectangular frames add contrast to the curved lines of the oval face. Other shapes are fair game as well, just be sure to keep scale in mind. Ovals biggest downfall is a frame that is too small or too large, throwing off the natural balance of the face. Try Alex, Jack, & Pepper.

Chrome Hearts 101



Chrome Hearts was established in 1988 by motorcycle enthusiasts Richard and Laurie Lynn Stark. The duo started Chrome Hearts by creating leather riding gear for friends and family. After no time at all, word traveled and the duo found fame. Their product was not only made from true quality leather, but also incorporated sterling silver, 22k gold, platinum, and high quality gemstones. Trademarks such as Fleur-de-lys, floral crosses and daggers are well known and found evermore on their pieces.
Their eyewear exhibits the same quality and attention to detail as does their jewelry and clothing. Chrome Hearts eyewear production can take anywhere from 6-7 months, taking their time perfecting each piece to insure flawless and exquisite design.
Chrome Hearts Eyewear: Eyewear made for those people who appreciate Eyewear.
The Chrome Heart Eyewear line can be found in Chrome Heart stores around the world as well as in exclusive and selective optical shops, such as Erker's Fine Eyewear.

What Fits YOU!

A Question everyone wonders when looking for the PERFECT frame is, "what looks best on me". We all want to find the perfect frame that fits best with our skin tone, our face shape, and our personality. Sometimes, the hunt for the perfect frame can be overwhelming. There are thousands of frames, thousands of colors and hundreds of different shapes.
Three things to consider when searching for your perfect match are:
  1. Eyewear should repeat your personal best feature (such as a blue frame to match blue eyes).
  2. The frame shape should contrast with your face shape.
  3. The frame size should be in scale with your face size.
 Skim this article below to help guide you to your match made in eyewear heaven.
