WARBY PARKER CLASS TRIP // NASHVILLE

My favorite eyewear brand, Warby Parker just passed through the Volunteer state recently spreading joy, good music and vision to all! I was thrilled to be invited by the crew to a little shindig, celebrating the recent launch of the brand's eyewear showroom inside Imogene + Willie, a rustic chic jean shop that caters to a wide variety of denim loving clientele. 

I+W also carry a few other products & clothing items but tend to stick to a very strong standard of quality - only picking high quality products and only producing the best of the best when it comes to their own apparel line. {Meaning it was only natural for them to want to include products from Warby Parker!}

WP went the literal extra mile by re-purposing this adorable yellow bus into a traveling show room.  They will be in Nashville till December 9th, (The Gulch, 2nd Ave N.) so don't miss this opportunity to check them out! If you're not in or around Nashville, don't worry - the crew has a few stops to make before they settle back in at home in New York. You can find the itinerary online HERE or below:

You should give a pair a try - for each pair purchased, one goes to someone in need! Brilliance. Especially during the holiday season! What a great way to tell someone you care, in addition to helping someone else in need. Thats what this time of year is all about, right? Or of course, you can buy yourself a pair and not feel guilty. ha. 

But really. What better an opportunity to pick your poison? Of course if you can't make it out you can always give WP's AT HOME TRY ON BOX a go - but wouldn't it be nice to be able to see all of their available frames in one place? 

Plus, another thing to remember is: They sell sunglasses too! So if you're fortunate to have perfect vision and glasses just aren't your forte, then maybe a little something something for the upcoming warm spring and summer months? I know there's a pair on MY list. 

WARBY PARKER AT IMOGENE + WILLIE

I'm so thrilled to announce the addition of a Warby Parker showroom within our fair city's iconic mom and pop jean shop, Imogene + Willie. Not like I needed another excuse to stop by - Imogene + Willie has always gone the extra mile to offer only the best of the best, which speaks volumes for the quality and consideration that goes into each Warby Parker product. 

Warby Parker first lured me in this time last year as I was on the prowl for the perfect rounded frame to replace my old, dilapidated squared D&G frames I'd been holding on to for the past four years. I somehow happened upon one of their ads boasting their $95 frames and from that point forward was immediately hooked. 

Everyone in my family was promptly notified that glasses had taken a seat at the top of my X-Mas list that year. 

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I could try on five pairs of glasses without ever setting foot in their New York showroom thanks to their Home Try On Program which lets you pick five of your favorite pairs and ships them to you to wear around for a week to decide which you like best. I'm all about convenience. Thanks WP, for making me lazier than I already am!  

I haven't even mentioned the best part! There's more! For each pair of glasses you purchase, another pair is donated to someone in need. WP partners with non-profits and has to date provided 150,000 pairs of glasses. Find out more HERE.

CURRENT OBSESSION: WARBY PARKER EYEWEAR

I'm currently obsessing over  WARBY PARKER EYEWEAR which has quickly become my favorite site for fanciful eyewear. ( I mean, who the hell else sells MONOCLES? ) Each pair is $95 for both the frame & non-reflective lens! Not only are the glasses unique, shapely and stylish, but this fashion forward company gives back by donating a pair of glasses to those in need for every pair you purchase.

They are also working with SUNO and have created a line of beautiful sunglasses sporting bright prints and bold frames. The SUNO sunglass line is a little more expensive than their basic $95 frames, but in my humble opinion, totally worth the extra money.

Oh, and just because this Monocle is awesome:
