Recently, I had been debating whether or not to get a new pair of glasses - after serving me loyally for 8 years, my little Guccis were showing serious signs of wear. And then it happened. They fell, breaking beyond repair. To replace them, I chose this Giorgio Armani pair. They are unapologetically big and have a retro, almost awkward style that I find rather cool.

They look great on you! I've worn big black glasses since I was a kid so the awkward part came before! :)
Have a great weekend!
Hi Mary-Laure, thx for your visit and above all for your lovely comment. I'll be visiting you more often, look verrry interesting here.
DIANA - I too have been wearing glasses since age 9... I usually avoid them and use contacts instead.
CT - welcome to Aurea!
oh, they are classy darling ^.*
kisses
First of all, I adore your name, Mary-Laure...beautiful!
your glasses look great on you and I like your blog!
Thanx for passing by mine...
see you very soon, greetz
I love them! And they look great on you! Funny how a new pair of glasses, a new bag or ...a new hat can just put a little spring into our step. I wear contacts- but sometimes give my eyes a rest and wear glasses. This makes me long for a new pair! Hope you have something special planned for your weekend.
I love them!! They look great on you too! I so need to get myself another pair of glasses, but finding a frame I like is so difficult.
It is so cool and modern!
I also need new glasses ;)
love your new glasses! i had to get mine replaced recently as well... new glasses are so much fun :)
Big but absolutely perfect on you!
I too was looking at glasses last week and I still haven't chosen any that I feel suit me! Haha

I love them!
They're fabulous.
(I don't throw that word around loosely)
Very Woody Allen and very, very cool.
I love them and they look great on you!

You look mahvalous! Too cute!

So cute! I always find it hard to find a pair of glasses I like and so I do tend to wear my contacts almost all the time.
Woow, I love new glasses and they look great on you!!
Love the b/w photos too!!
i love them. you look fab! besos!
I LOVE your new glasses! You look soo pretty and adorable! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend and love to you!
i love your new glasses
I've always felt that eyeglasses are our "most" important accessory. Those are great, allowing for the most gamin-like or sophisticated you.
And of course you wear them so well. Nice choice - they really suit you perfectly.

Ocho años son muchos!
el modelo es retro y diferente, me gusta.
Fabulous my dear. I do need a new pair of computer glasses / by the end of the day I am hazy and eyes are very tired!! I cannot do contacts, wish I could!

GREETZ - welcome to AUREA! I'm glad you like my name; it's a bit complicated, but I like it too.
DEBRA - oh yes, I wear contacts too but in the evening I give my eyes a break...
SEALAURA - Benjy was very happy to no longer get his precious little paws all wet; he loves lounging in the sun.
BLUE MUSE - LOL, yes, it's true, they are very Woody Allen! I hope I don't look as neurotic as him though.
SPANGLER - your glasses are always so great and stylish.
they are awesome! i really want a bigger set of frames, but i only got new glasses last year and feel i may be being a bit frivolous.
i like your new glasses!
and getting 8 years out of a pair is VERY good. you are good to your specs. :)
DROLLGIRL - well, it's mostly because I just never use them. I wear contacts every day and just use my glasses at night to give my eyes a break.
they look awesome on you!!!
You definitely have the bone structure to pull them off! Love them on you.
You look great in glasses! I think I may need a new pair soon as well.
ANGIE - well, mostly, I have the bad, near-sighted eyes that demand glasses, especially glasses with big and wide frames...
SHERIN - stylish you, you must tell us about your new glasses on your blog if you do end up getting a new pair.
Very flattering!
I am visitng your blog for the first time. I want to tell you that you look beautiful and that I love the shots of flowers you have on the right side of your blog. I am assuming you took the pictures - you have an artist's soul!
These are very cool. I like!
Love them!! My glasses are wrapped with black electrical tape - suppose I need a new pair too...
Here's to a new pair of frames. It is such a joy to sport a new pair and these suit you well.
Heh, very cute...I love the retro-awkward look. :p
Cuuuute!

Fabulous! You look so cool with your glasses. I think I need a pair of glasses myself.
