Things I Have: White Specs

Some of you may remember last year when I posted about some h-o-t white specs from Dita.

I later saw them in a store in Seoul and while they were amazing, they were also a bit out of my annual spectacle budget.

Fast forward to last month when I was (again) in Shanghai... I convinced my very kind colleague Jane to take me to the eyeglasses market. Yes, in Shanghai there is a whole street that sells only SPECS!

And there, to my glee (and the excitement of my wallet) I found these beauts:

Now I realize they're not exactly the ones by Dita. But at 1/20th of the price, I am okay with that. And I love them... they're shocking and contrasting and no one quite knows what to make of them.

And I did see another pair at the eyeglasses market that I may need to acquire on my next trip. Stay tuned!

Things I Want: Glasses by Dita

Okay so this is my second post about eyewear. The Tom Ford frames now have some competition by these gems from Dita. The style is called 'Lever'. Love them in this white color! I also like that they're a pretty standard shape & size -- nothing too "Mikli" (although I do like his flamboyance at times).

I've seen this style and the rest of their Spring '09 collection on a variety of sites this week... (Men's Rag, Hypebeast)
