Happy Monday! This weekend flew by way too fast, and it was rainy and quite dreary here in Montreal.  Of course, when you’re back in the office, the weather clears up…

I was rather uninspired on the glasses front last week but I do love this piece by Kaloian Toshev. So colourful. I wish you an anything-but-dull week!

Girls with glasses like to read. Or that’s how they’ve been stereotyped. Well, on Sunday, it was certainly true of me. All I wanted to do was curl up with a book and read.  And it’s what I did!

Hope you all in the U.S. are enjoying your day off – I’m off to work this morning!

Happy Monday! Today is sort of a fake Monday in Canada, as it’s Victoria Day Monday and we have the day off. For those not familiar, Victoria Day is a uniquely Canadian holiday during which we celebrate the British Queen. In the province of Quebec it’s actually La Journée des patriotes to celebrate our own set of founding fathers. But! More interestingly, this holiday long weekend marks the beginning of summer in a lot of people’s minds.  And that, my friends, is reason enough to celebrate.

On the topic of glasses: I’ve been shopping eBay for glasses this weekend. There are some really beautiful vintage frames but I wonder how well they’d take new lenses.  Anyone have experience with this?

One of the things I love about glasses is the comfort factor. No matter how comfortable they make contact lenses, nothing beats changing into your glasses after a long day wearing lenses. Hope you enjoy my weekly collection of eyewear styles… and have a great week!

Let’s not kid ourselves: wearing fab glasses is one thing, but pulling the whole look together is an altogether tougher challenge.  That’s why I love the gal above’s look so much, found on Stockholm Street Style. The beige, the glasses and the slick, pulled-back hair scream “librarian” but the pants and necklace make you to reconsider. Geek style at its best.

A very stylish week to you all!

Not just the domain of private I’s,  the timeless trench coat continues to be a staple element in any fashionista’s closet. Love these variations, from long to short and from white to suede.

origami flower arrangements,

and chandeliers in bedrooms.

Bright colour in a room makes my heart go pitter-patter.  These are some rooms I’ve been feasting my eyes on… Do you like them? Which is your favourite?

I’m back on the glasses wagon after a brief break. Love the glasses-wearing lady in the vintage Hanes ad above, and all of these other “not-so-quiet” sensations in beautiful eyewear.

Have a great week, all!
