The Wonder of Vintage Eye Wear

A friend of mine just sent me a link to this lovely video about 1950's glasses fashion. As a long-time wearer of big, plastic vintage frames, I love them for the same reason I love classic cars. The designs were big, bold, startling, provocative and shiny, marrying overindulgent decoration with sleek style.


I only wish that I had each and every one of these pairs of frames! Looking for your own vintage eyewear? Check out Ebay's vintage eyewear section, where you can still find a deal on some things, or if you're in the NYC area, a local favorite, Fabulous Fanny's.

IRON FIST

I happily stumbled onto this alterna-wear clothing line called Iron Fist while looking for swimsuits on my lunch break today, and holy schmoley! Do they actually have some shit worth buying.

Obviously I'm obsessed with their zombie-wear. (PS that swimsuit is totally sold out!)
Men's clothes, women's clothes. Even kids junk! All reasonably priced (a pair of green and purple sequined skull platform shoes that are actually in my size only cost me $50!), all well designed, splattered with flair and their shoes are even 100% Vegan. They've won me over already.

Now all I have to do is get to their site when they release new product, because their items, from what I can tell, fly off the shelves like hot cakes!
