Glasses with a purpose

Not that I wear glasses, but if I did, this is where I would shop. Jet off to New York for a pair of glasses, while doing something to help another glass-wearer get a pair? Yes, please.

Absolutely love this space. Wood & class. This is me sold.

A VISIT TO @WARBYPARKER

Whilst in New York, beauty blogger Karla Powell and I popped into the Warby Parker showroom to pick up some awesome new frames! (I went with the classic tortoise shell frames). If you haven’t heard of Warby Parker, you’ve seriously been living under a rock! Warby parties with a purpose. For every pair of glasses sold, Warby donates a complimentary pair to someone in need. At only $95 a pop, it’s worth it!

“Prescription eyewear simply should not cost $300+. The industry is controlled by a few large companies that have kept prices artificially high, reaping huge profits from consumers who have no other options. By circumventing traditional channels and engaging with our customers directly through our website, Warby Parker is able to provide higher-quality, better looking prescription eyewear for under $100.”
