Oliver
Peoples
I thought I knew what I
wanted when I hit the sunglasses counter at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills but
boy, was I wrong. I tried on the Tom
Ford frames I was positive were the next ones for me when the man behind the
counter let me know otherwise, by otherwise I mean in the form of “honey, those
are not working with your nose” – I’ll admit, my feelings were a bit hurt but,
homeboy knew what he was talking about and he helped me select a frame that
apparently was a much better match for my face, err schnozz.
I ended up with black tortoiseshell
gradient polarized lens shades by Oliver Peoples. The style I (we) chose are the “mande” which
is modified cat eye shape & I’m love, love, loving them. They’re truly the sunnies I never knew I
always wanted. A plus of hitting the
optical counter at NM Bev Hills (aside from brutal yet helpful honesty) is that
they fit you for sunnies like they’re fitting you for eyeglasses. You leave with frames that are perfectly
straight and as comfortable as can be behind the ears and on the big ole
nose. Like my fav Tom Ford, Peoples’
does not stamp a huge logo on the side of his frames or adorn them with glitter
and gems. I mean you have to draw the
line somewhere, right? Embellished
sunnies? No thanks. Anyhoo, thanks to the uber straightforward
salesman at NM, this pair of Oliver Peoples frames will most definitely not be
my last.
