What are the Latest Trends in Eyeglasses for Teenagers in 2015?

November 12, 2014 by Momstart Leave a Comment

With all the new and fashionable products for kids and teens, it’s no wonder us mommies feel overwhelmed! Mommy, buy me this, or can you please get me that new yada-yada because everyone at school has one! I know, not all kids are like this, but if you’re a mommy, you have probably heard it a million times.

When it comes to eyeglasses however, most kids and teens would want to choose their own style. I have two girls who are as fashion conscious as I am, and I want them to look chic and fabulous all the time! So I did a little research on the latest trends in eyeglasses for 2015, just in case the three of us need to go visit a hip optometrist and get our eyes checked.

Trend #1 – Cat Eye Glasses

When I see cat eye glasses, I think of Catwoman! Cat eye shaped glasses will fit any facial shape because of its timeless design. This retro chic trend is a favorite of Hollywood and was worn by style icons Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. Today, Katie Perry, Mary J. Blige and Miranda Kerr sport these chic glasses.

Trend #2 – Exaggerated Wayfarer Glasses

Here is another one I see teenagers wear all the time, especially the ones that are hipsters. The original frame was designed by Ray Ban in 1956; the exaggerated wayfarer glasses nowadays come in an assortment of loud colors, to fit any personality. The style is also iconic and has a youthful and rebellious feel. Rockers of all shapes and sized love to wear a pair of exaggerated wayfarers from Ray Ban because it’s iconic and makes a statement.

Trend #3 – Chunky Bold Glasses

Geek is the new chic! This super fashionable trend seems to go on forever. Countless celebrities have donned a pair of chunky bolds, and they look absolutely fabulous by doing so! These also come in an array of different colors to match any dress and suit any occasion. Tina Fay is one celebrity that comes to mind when I see a pair of chunky gold glasses.

Trend #4 – Detailed Glasses

Plain glasses aren’t the only option when choosing a frame for your glasses. Detailed frames are all the rage this season because they offer you a million options. You can choose whatever intricately designed detail you want to express your personal style and taste. This trend shouts “freedom of expression” like no other, that’s why teens and kids love it.

Trend #5 – Round Glasses

When I see a pair of round glasses, I think about the movie Harry Potter and Gary Oldman’s character in Dracula. Both were wearing a pair of round glasses. Big as it was in the early days, and in Hogwarts, perfectly round frames are making a comeback!

Trend #6 – Oversized Round Glasses

If you want to look nerdy chic, then Oversized Round Frames are for you! Think of an old librarian in the 70’s, but more fashionable. Today, this style is considered uber chic. Nicole Richie loves oversized round glasses. Other celebrities who wear them are Kourtney Kardashian, the late Jackie O. Kennedy.

There you have it, six eyeglass trends that your teenagers will probably go for in 2015. I didn’t include colorful and sporty frames (younger kids seem to love these) because with most of the frames, you and your kids can choose whatever color you want. For a better understanding of what type of frame goes better with the shape of your face, drop by your nearest eye store today.

Making Valentine’s Day Fun Foam Glasses

January 20, 2014 by Momstart 1 Comment

This is a craft that we did with Zoe’s friends as a birthday party activity. I found some glasses that would be easy to make on your own. You just need some foam paper, and scissors to cut out the holes for glasses and make hearts. Then of course stickers, marker and glitter gem.

The ear sides can be made out of paper or out of more foam paper your choice. These are made from paper.

Supplies:

Foam paper (or precut foam glasses)

Glitter Gems

Glue

Directions:

These were really easy so we had girls from 5 – 7 working on them.

 

The glitter gems had sticky backs so all they had to do was decorate the glasses.

This is a picture of all the girls wearing their creations.

And we used these to make personalized Valentines.

Of course this movie season is off to a record breaking start with The Avengers smashing box office records with an estimated $200.3 million in its domestic debut May 4-6, shattering previous records and positioning the film as the highest-grossing domestic debut of all time.

Win a free pair of glasses – giveaway

April 24, 2009 by MomStart 160 Comments

EyeBuyDirect.com - Buy Eyeglasses Online

I wanted to see if it could actually be done before I offered this giveaway to Mom Start. Eye Buy Direct offered me a pair of glasses to review and giveaway. I said, umm, can you actually get a pair of glasses for 100.00. OK, if you say so.

Guess GU1273I went to check it out. They have so many frames to choose from. It was really hard to narrow it down. I even picked out a pair and my husband said, you’re not going to like those. I picked out a pair with nose pieces. I hate nose pieces because they get nasty from nose sweat. (I’m sure Eye Buy Direct likes me talking about nose sweat in their review). Then they turn green. So I went back and narrowed the search by plastic frames.

After picking out a pair, the frames are so cheap, that’s always what gets me at the store is frames are so darn expensive. And my prescription is so bad I have to get thin or extra thin lenses. I was still able to add extra features to my glasses after getting thin lenses.

I added scratch resistance, and non reflective. I added the tinting in the sun. I’m really happy with them. I think I’m going to go back and get my next pair with them too. I have my eye on some designer lenses. ***This Giveaway does not include designer glasses*******

They came really quickly as well. 100.00 can get you one pair of glasses with out insurance.

Win a pair:

Visit: EyeBuyDirect and do one of the following three things: (Each one is worth an entry)

1.) Post their "Eye Try" photo to our Wall of Frame (http://www.eyebuydirect.com/wall-of-frames.html)
2.) Post a comment to our Wall of Frame.
3.) Then post a comment on your blog stating which eyeglass frame they would choose if they won and a link to their "Eye Try" photo.
