Sinclair and Preston Glasses from Warby Parker

Warby Parker just came out with a slew of new glasses styles and they sent a few over for me to try. These two are my favorites. What do you think?


Sinclair


Preston

Also, I think sleeplessness agrees with me. I got about two hours of sleep the night before I took these photos. (Having a newborn will do that to you.)

* update: I’m being sent a pair of each, yay!

    Love them, I got a similar pair and also a pair of pink cateye ones a la grease. You can see the quick video here: http://www.budgetblonde.com/2011/01/home-video-vintage-glasses.html

    I thought you’d love em since you also love a vintage look!

    I love the first pait!
    But I am biased because I just bought these for myself. I got the tortoiseshell ones (or whatever they are calling the brown ones). But the black frames really suit you.

    You look beautiful! After just two hours of sleep my undereye circles would match the color of those frames. :)

    The Prestons look great on you! I’m excited to see them on somebody – I ordered my try-on frames and I’m dying to see how the Preston in the light brown looks on me.

    You look beautiful!! Your hair (did you get a haircut? cut your bangs differently? or is it just that is up?) looks great! Oh, yeah…the glasses! Both look really good on you. If I had to choose one pair, it would be the second one…

      The lipstick is Mac Lady Danger, but it looks nothing like it does in the photos above. It’s a much more vivid orange-red.

  • amy
    February 21, 2011 at 12:00 pm

    I like the Preston best, but I suppose I’m just not into rounder frames like the Sinclair, generally. I have the clear Webb and the black Finn frames from WP! I want to get a pair of the tangerine frames for summertime, too.

    I’ve got 5 pairs of the new WP line en route and I can’t wait to try them on!

  • Kristina
    February 21, 2011 at 12:38 pm

    Love both, but the second pair seem less trendy, so you could rock them longer.

    PS: Are you using a new filter or PS action? Because your photos are looking slamin’ lately.

    I like the Sinclairs. There’s something Harry Potter-ish about them. In a good way.

    Looking so good on two hours of sleep is, I think, a function of age. :)

    Hmm…are you being reimbursed for your recommendations by Warby Parker (i.e., are they giving you free glasses)? I like to know how/if reviewers are being compensated before considering their reviews…thanks!

    • Making it Lovely
      February 22, 2011 at 8:47 am

      Well, the answer is sort of. I had written about Warby Parker before, so they wrote to me a couple of weeks ago to ask if I’d like to see the newest styles before they went up on the site. Sounded like fun, so I said yes. Then I fell in love with the two styles that I showed above, and they are letting me have one of each (yay!). But I didn’t know that when I was writing this post.

      • Noni
        February 22, 2011 at 10:03 am

        I was curious about your compensation, too. From now on, it would probably be a good idea to let us know when you’re being perk’d for something that you’re writing about…

      • Making it Lovely
        February 22, 2011 at 10:10 am

        Yes, I’m always transparent about my relationships. As I said, I hadn’t been compensated at the time I wrote the post, so I’m clarifying here in the comments that that had changed afterward. They are giving me the glasses as a thank you (the people at Warby Parker are really very nice).

    P.S. if you decided to nurse again I hope it is going well, my second was a boy and although I still struggled the first month, the next sixteen were smooth sailing. I think boys are easier, now to get him to quit…

    February 22, 2011 at 2:16 pm

    • Making it Lovely
