Well at the grand age of 45 it's finally come to me that I need reading glasses. I did get some standard ones last time I was at the optician, he basically said, you don't quite need them yet, but you will before you come and see me next time, so he gave me a prescription. The other day I got a splinter in my hand and I just couldn't get it out, so I thought, mmmm perhaps I'll try with those glasses I was given, wow the difference!
So I am now using them for reading and the computer as I remember, but right now I'm not wearing them eeek!
Anyway of course I really don't want standard Specsavers glasses, I didn't mind when I didn't have to wear them but now I do I'd like nice vintage ones. So I got on Etsy and Ebay for a look., however all the ones I liked were on Etsy!
I know I'm a 50s chick but I really don't suit true cats eye shape, they look crazy on me as I have quite a small face, I do like a bit of bling though!! However they are all rather pricey for my budget but I'll carry on looking you know me I always find a bargain.
I do love these though.

What lovely frames - I especially like the ones in the third photo.
Not sure if you've head of him, but I can highly recommend Darren from http://www.deadmensspex.com He has some great frames and offers a brilliant service.
Hope you find some you like :o)
I want them all!
A pair of confetti cats eyes are on my want list! Still havent found the right ones yet - I prefer silver confetti myself :) Good luck finding some lovely new frames - I have 8 pairs now!
What fab specs! I was lucky enough to find a pair of 1950s glasses at the local flea market for 20p and I got mine reglazed for £20 from this company, who are brilliant: http://www.glassescomplete.co.uk
Those chartreuse ones are my favourite. x
I just love the 50´s cateyed glasses with the details on them!
I bought a pair for myself, but haven´t sat in the glass that fits my eyes yet. But I should. ;)
I love 1950s shaped glasses! I really should get myself a pair! I am as blind as a bat after all!
Those glasses are lovely. I just sold two pairs to my girlfriend (very similar to the aluminium ones), and now I need to get reading glasses :(
Good luck on your hunt for a pair!

Fiona I always used to joke about my old lady bifocals but soon the joke will be on me as the optician told me I will need them soon.
I LOVE all of those frames, especially the black lucite and the green ones! I have astigmatism and I am near-sighted so I need to wear glasses daily. I have 4 pairs of 50s cat eye frames that have been fitted with my prescription. I also have vintage cat eye sunglasses!
I have found most of my frames on ebay and Etsy. Three of my frames are deadstock! I am always on the hunt for good condition frames for a good price! I love the fact I have to wear glasses because I can accessorize my vintage style even more!
Cute! I recently went to the eye dr. because my eyes get so tired-truly a sign I am on the computer too long! I now have reading glasses, but they make me dizzy if I look up.
