them brows

Thanks to extremely poor vision (and an acid attack, no I don't want to talk about it...), I've worn glasses since I was a child. I have become so accustomed to wearing them that I could never dream of wearing contacts. Not that I could, even if I wanted to, as the acid attack left me unable to wear contacts.  Thusly I spend a lot time searching for the perfect spectacles, opting for an interesting"statement" pair - something that makes a first impression. There is no singular item that I place more consideration and forethought into than a new pair of specs.  Glasses are worn every single day on the most visible part of your body! They should enhance your features and blend with your wardrobe! Therefore, I exercise extremely due diligence when selecting my next pair, and pay the highest attention to design, form, and daily wearability.

So when I saw the Prada Fall 2010 eyebrow glasses, I KNEW that they are destined to be my next pair.

For people like me, who obsess over spectacles and quirky eyebrows, this is practically porn. I adore the exaggerated cat-eye shape, which brings to life Prada's ethos of sexy-matron-attitude-without-the-fuss. The heavy form of the glasses would provide a healthy structural contrast to the draped pieces I usually wear, allowing my eyes to make a statement that my flowy garments could not.

BUT!! Do they pass the Photoshop test?!

DINGDINGING WE HAVE A WINNER!

 Prada eyebrow glasses, you will be mine. I'll set up camp outside the Prada boutique in Chicago if I have to, just to ensure that I get a pair in the colorway worn by Valerija Kelava before they sell out. MUST. OWN. THESE. GLASSES.

PS: Here is what I look like without glasses, for those of you who are interested. I don't like the way my face looks without them.
