Being Chinese of origin, my parents have blessed me with a lot of things...but one thing they haven't been able to give me was a nose with a bridge. If I had perfect vision or laser eye I wouldn't have any problems with this nose, but because I'm halfway to blind in both eyes, I need glasses. In Italy, i.e. for Mass, frames are an accessory rather than a necessity. I decided to jump on the bandwagon too.

I had these frames custom made to fit my nose (because if you're Asian, you know exactly what I'm talking about...no plastic frames will ever stay up without nose pads). While I was there, I also picked out the design/colour I liked and voila! Brian McGinn of BONAFIDE MCGINN, friend and glasses genius, hand-crafted these beauties for me. The detailing, especially along the sides, is amazing. If you're in the market for a pair of custom frames, go see Brian.

Lastly, as you remember from my post here, my amazing friend and photographer Janet, bought me the above panther ring from Turkey...she knows me so well. While she was there, she also picked up another ring for herself...Congratulations to the newly engaged!!

Heading to Paris tmr for a wedding...will see you when I get back!! Have a great wknd everyone.
