I had my eye dr's appointment tonight. Now I just need a new pair of glasses and I'm not sure which frame to pick. Please excuse all dorky looks/bad hair/bad skin/etc. etc...I hate taking pictures this close up.
I VSP...they'll cover $120 of the frame and take 20% off the difference, so I'm willing to get a more expensive one.
1. Prada $250 (worst pic of all, I know...)
2. Coach 1 $185
3. Coach 2 $200
4. Giorgio Armani $230
5. Gucci $230
6. Coach $170
7. Prada $220
8. Lilykind, I hate them all
9. I can't tell the difference between any of them...
I think the Armani ones look the best on you. It's funky, but still cute. I also think that with your face shape you would look best with glasses that are more rectangular in shape.
Coach 2 and the Gucci pair are also cute on you. However, I can't tell the difference between the two. They both look exactly the same.
I like the first Prada pair and then the Gucci. The Prada's are the boldest, IMO, but you have strong features and can carry that off. They have more of a hipster vibe to me than the Gucci (which seem more classic), but I think you would do well - and look fabulous - in either pair.

My order 1, 4, 5. I have Armani glass from a few years ago and I still love them and get tons of compliments on them. They were worth every penny. I am really hard on glasses and these have been amazing and still look as good as when I bought them. HTH!

i like both pradas but i like prada 2 the best. i think the pradas accent the shape of your face and eyes the best.
i adore buying glasses! too bad my insurance lets me only do it once every other year with a price break. i usually buy a new pair every year... i am looking at some chanels this weekend. too fun!
I'm going to be a dissenting voice and say I like #3 (Coach 2) the best. I think they geeky enough, but not overpowering, and the shape of them really perks up your face.
Hubby was looking at this with me and said either pair of Prada's (well, actually he said either the first pair or the last ones, hehe) and I agree (voted for the first pair though).

I agree - they seem to brighten your face more than the heavier frames.
I voted for the Gucci because I think I like those best out of all the true geek glasses however I also think that #3/Coach 2 look great. It could just be the pictures but I agree with what Hedvig and NCshopper said.
