The Warby Parker Leith Clark Collection

We have survived the holiday rush, the paper cuts from the gift wrapping, and endured the hectic traffic to see our loved ones. Christmas has come and gone on schedule, but the spirit of giving is still amongst us! For those of you that are still in the shopping mood, I suggest buying one-for-one products that will give back to others in need. If you’re not sure what one-for-one means, you can read my post about a couple of companies I admire here.

One of my favorite one-for-one companies I am definitely behind is Warby Parker. I think it’s simply amazing that you not only can order stylish designer frames online, and your purchase will give to a person in need, but you can actually TRY OUT 5 frames at a time at home to see if you like them before you buy them!

Warby Parker has partnered up with Leith Clark on five new designer frames for those who don’t want to compromise fashion for perfect site. For each Leith Clark Collection frames or sunglasses purchased, a pair is donated to someone in need. Also, a percentage from each sale will also go to Girl Up, a United Nations Foundation campaign mobilizing American girls to raise awareness and funds for UN programs that provide life-changing opportunities to girls around the world. It’s a gift that keeps on giving!

I like the 1960s, librarians, nerdy girls. I like glasses you had when you were a kid—or that your dad wore when you were a kid—and wearing them now.

I like Bergman. Big thick glasses on a little, tiny face. When there are etchings or engravings or magically-made materials.

I like pearls, brass, opera glasses. Everything being all violet.

I like seeing the world with a pretty pink tint to it.

Here are three of my favorite looks from the collection:

Aurora Daughter of Pearl
Aurora’s marbled acetate, rimless lenses, and a keyhole bridge add up to a strong dose of vintage charm.
