specs


I trekked all the way across central london to Westfield and the journey reminds me again why i HATE taking the tube: crowded, hot, and stuff. that said, Westfield is a really fresh high-end mall. nice building too (high ass roof, which creates this major airy effect) BUT the point is, i found these awesome specs at Topman. well, THEY found me. i was this close to getting a pair but...15 pounds?! for a pair of glasses which might have been made in thailand (or china) and sold for, uh, 4 pounds? i could just wait another few months and go back to thailand and buy a dozen right?



BUT what if i couldn't find them? what if they're some sort of patented product, etc? The point is, they fit me and the contour of my face like a dream! it's very rare that i feel such an affinity with a pair of glasses. except maybe the ones i got when i was 11 (because my mom said i would go blind after an extended period of short-sightedness.) ok, decision decision.

ps: they're called "TORTOISESHELL GEEK PLASTIC SPECS" haha how fresh.

tortoiseshell is nice. i say get them. glasses that adjust well to the face are so hard to find. i own a few pairs that despite that they fit me, they weren't really as comfortable on my face so i ended up not wearing them as much. i've been mostly wearing the same black plastic rimmed cat-eyes for about four years straight.
