More Spectacles from The Fashion Commentator

Yesterday, I was talking about buying a new pair of prescription glasses. I’ve been combing internet sources to find the perfect pair. Much to my delight, one of my favorite sites just posted on the same topic. The Fashion Commentator, written by Alessandro Masetti, talks about round frames being the biggest trend.

Massetti, a native of Florence, has such a knack for picking items that make me want to max out my credit card. He showcases chic European styles, while romancing me with the history of fashion and the evolution of the trend. And to top it off, each of his posts are written in English and Italian. (Alessandro – sei veramente l’uomo perfetto!!!)

Please check out his latest post, Trend Alert: rounded glasses

And if you’re just itching to buy a new pair of spectacles, you may want to investigate the sites below. They have the latest styles at a fraction of the price. I’m seriously considering these round tortoiseshell frames. I hope The Fashion Commentator approves!
