This is very useful information shared here. I am really thankful for this. 99th.co.in
Love your review. Love the story. Really love the crazy picture!
I recently read another of your articles and loved it. So I kept looking. Those prescription glasses look great! I have been thinking about getting some but am worried that they won’t fit right. Maybe I will reconsider.
Very useful information. Thank you for sharing it. Thanks 99th

I love the Maxine!
I’ve been dreaming of the Bel Air in blue for months now. Fingers crossed!
Parker! Clear/tortoise?
You’re looking so gorgeous..Big glasses are much attractive too.
Nice glasses, it suits on your face so keep glasses like it. Women Optical Glasses
These glasses suit you perfectly — you look so chic :)
I swim all Summer long so am in desperate need on prescription shades.
The glasses look good on you. I can’t say who is looking more good- glasses or your eyes?
I just need to know where you got those. Is this through online or any other store?
Well I am little hesitating to buy through online.
If you can share anything about this then please comment back, I wait for your comment.
Just for fashion use or for protecting eyes from harmful weather all are fit for its use glasses mostly protects us from the rays which can damage our part of body sometime
You look absolutely gorgeous with those new pair of eyeglasses on! It suits you perfectly. I actually find women wearing big nerdy glasses fascinating. =)
heLLo! i’ve been internet searching for MONTHS and i do not exaggerate when i say MONTHS for a pair of eyeglasses! so happy to have stumbled upon your words and photos….hopefully i will find just the right pair for me! thanks much!!
gahhh! this could not come at a more perfect time. I’ve been looking at other similar websites for the past week, and did not about this one! THANK YOU!!!
I love the Woody ones! I lost mine too and am in desperate need of a new pair.
Yup. Big, and perhaps nerdy, looks nice. The noticeable frame has a nice image when you have the confidence to wear it, and you look great with those new glasses of yours. Cheers!
I wear the Kate Spade Blakely. They are turquoise on the inside, which is kind of fun. I think I’ll buy my next pair from Warby Parker because I love the mission of that company.
I can’t WAIT to read your biz model post – I just started receiving ad money for two different blogs that I write and it’s a tricky path to go down.
Diggin it. The whole deal. Well made garments turn casual into special.
You are looking gorgeous in these eyeglasses
Hi Joanna! I love the pair of glasses you ordered and I checked it out on the site but, they appear to not be there. Do you have any other similar suggestions? Thanks!

i’ve been eyeing (bad pun! :) the jesse in tortoise for a while now — they were out of stock and they’re back, so this would be so perfect! new baby on the way in a few weeks and feel like i’ll be living in my glasses!
very nice glasse, you are looking beautiful.

nice post. Now you can use this business to business directory to promote bulk eyewear supplies import & export business.
I love them! I think I might order a new pair too. I’m almost due for one.
I’ve been loving the colour of your lipstick :) it’s exactly the colour i’ve been looking for, with no success. Could you help me? :)
Thanks!
I’ve been following your blog for some time and find it always intereting and amusing. Keep the great work!

I LOVE THEM!!
I got my big nerdy NASA engineer glasses at CoastalContacts.com – if you like them on facebook, you can be informed of when their next sale is. What they do is give you the glasses with the standard type of lens (extra for super thin, or whatever coatings) and all you have to pay is shipping. So I paid $15 dollars for them. It’s a great deal!
for those who asked, i got the Woody glasses and they’re back in stock:

xoxo thanks for all these really sweet comments!
jennifer, good question! i wear a 27 or 28 in jeans, too, and i wear a 28 in emersonmade. they fit really, really well on me. so i think they’re pretty true to size. (the only time i wear a 27 is if it’s a brand that often runs big, like Gap)
Those glasses are fabulous on you! I have a jean question though: I know this is above and beyond – but I have the hardest time with her pants sizing. Do you wear J Brand or other standard jeans to compare sizes with. I’m always a 28 in their jeans – but according to website I think I’d be way off in hers. How did you find sizing? Any advise please.
LOVE the glasses – super chic!
I love your new glasses! And the outfit! I bought my specs from warby Parker, am so excited about this option! Perhaps I can use a second pair!!
Love ’em on you! Recognized your fab Madewell shirt right away too.

I just placed my order! I’m excited. Thanks for the tip Joanna!!
They are awesome glasses! I would love a pair like that although I’m really not sure I can pull of the ‘geek chic’ look….
Did you look at Warby Parker’s glasses at all? They have tons of cute nerdy frames and they’re all only $99 for the frames and lenses. They also let you try on five pairs at home for free, with no shipping fees to receive them or send them back. And I think they give away a pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair you buy. Something to remember for next time! :) Love the tortoiseshell!
I knew the shirt was Madewell!!xx
i love these! I’ve been wanting a pair of the Ray Ban eyeglasses like these ones, but I’m usually just in my contacts anyways. That’s an amazing price though!
I love nerdy glasses too… I’ve got loads and can’t get enough!
I can’t believe i got the same glasses! I do not wear them offen because I can’t get used to them..
Joanna, you are beautiful! :)
(and you have the cutest little boy AND I love reading your blog)
:)
Oh, Jo, you’re so adorable! And what a great pair and for such a grand price.
I got a pair of glasses recently…though, I admit, they’re faux. But I enjoy that as an accessory.
xoxo
I just bought a pair of glasses from Spex Club a few weeks ago. I think the hardest part was only choosing one pair, there are so many cute one!
You are the epitome of chic! Love them on you! xo.
Thank you for this fabulous recommendation! I have been wanting a pair of the wayfarer style frames, but hesitated to invest in a trend that might have a short life. What an easy way to do it. Love your Blog!
so cute! I need to find a good place to buy glasses because my last pair were like $300!!! Thanks for the tip.
another really great and super inexpensive online glasses shop in zennioptical.com they have tons of styles. I’ve gotten a couple pairs from there and love them!
Hi Joanna,
I have been following your blog for over a year now and I would also be really interested in a post about the business side of it. I recently (very recently) started a blog of my own and am curious to learn all I can about the world of blogging.
P.S. Your glasses are adorable! I’ve been thinking about getting some online for a while now, but had the same doubts that you did. I think you may have inspired me to try it out :)
I love your glasses! I say, wear them with pride! I have glasses and I chose chunky plastic frames too :)
Love the big/nerdy glasses- you both look great! I’ve gone back to glasses full-time (from contacts) in the last year because of all the great, inexpensive frames that are offered now. Can’t say enough good things about Warby Parker. I’m hoping to get my third pair from them for Christmas…
I too am looking forward to a post on the business behind the blog. Blogging is my main outlet living as expat in Europe and I’d love to learn more about how to develop it. Thanks Joanna!
Wow, I don’t think Catherine’s very legitimate question about sponsorships/affiliate links warranted her being called a bitch!
Perhaps someone should share their bottle of chill pills!
I actually think you are prettier with glasses than without, they are soooo cool and your outfit is beautiful.
& Toby. No words. I just love him!
Those look great on you! I have (or had, they were stolen – silly to steal someone’s prescription glasses) a pair of prescription sunglasses from SpexClub that I loved. They are a really easy company to deal with – returns and all. I also have two pairs from Warby Paker. I love them because of their home try-on feature. In addition to these (yes, I have a lot of glasses) I have a couple of pairs from Coastal Contacts – they do a lot of free glasses giveaways.
I started having problems wearing contacts about a year ago (probably a side affect from having to stare at a computer all day for my job) and I was really thankful there are now a lot of online companies providing alternatives to expensive frames found in most doctors’ offices.
Thank you for sharing this with other people so they may have the opportunity to save money on something so many of us need.
I love the glasses. I don’t have to wear them, but I dread the day I do because I fear I won’t suit any.
The glasses are adorable and that Toby….overwhelming cuteness!
P.S. I admire your diplomacy. ;)
Omg, I love glasses! I must have 10 different pairs by now. My intention is to cycle between them, coordinating them with my outfits, but of course I’m lazy, so I really only cycle between 2 or 3 that go with everything.
AND!
I love your outfit, Joanna. The glasses, the button-up…and that necklace! Lovely :D
Toby has gotten so big!!!
Catherine! Take a chill pill you anal bitch. If you are that concerned about Joanna and her sponsors dont visit the site. Jealous are we????
Love them! I just got my first really nerdy pair…and it took some getting used to. But now I never want to wear my contacts!
They suit you perfectly! x
More Toby pictures!! :)
Wow Joanna. Toby is looking grown up. You are looking like Annie Hall.
Jo – I think you look so like Wonder Woman before she did her twirls and turned into actual wonder woman – hot hot hot glasses!
Your blog is just so so lovely – really enjoy reading it from rainy old Dublin – will deffo be using your NYC recs on my next visit – they’re amazeballs and am so excited to see the city from a non-tourist point of view.
Also your little boy is the cutest little cherub in your pictures – he reminds me of my 25 year old bro when he was that small – so squishy!
Le smurf Xxx
if i were giving out the ‘cutest mom ever’ award, i’d give it straight to you.
ps – i’m all for the glasses.
Hi Joanna,
could you do a hair post with pictures of your haircut and how you style it, please?
I love the way its thinner at the bottom and layered, and would love to see more pictures.
Thanks!
