find a storeIt may initially seem a contradictory pairing, music and eyewear. After all, music is hugely an auditory medium. When you think of music, it’s almost immediately associated with, well, the sound of music, its emission, and the receiving point: your ears. The reverberation of an opera singer’s voice echoing in a concert hall, amplifiers pumping the sound-waves of songs to audiences, headphones making the transmission of music a private exchange directly to your ears, and knobs on a radio adjusting the volume—these all make the argument that music is, as the saying goes, ‘music to my ears’. But I digress: today we ignore the ears altogether and focus on the eyes.

Your Eyes: Fact vs. Fiction
When it comes to your eyes, today I separate the truth from the lies.

After the facts are unveiled, you can expect to have a higher Eye-Q. CONTINUE READING
Color Me Happy
At Pearle Vision, I think it’s safe to say that today we’ve found it: a rainbow connection. The color spectrum is saturating frames more than ever, and I feel like Dorothy stepping out of her black-and-white world into the colorful land of Oz. Everything looks bright, dazzling and optimistic. With the mounting colored options, I find myself happily faced with debates such as the choice between peacock blue accented frames (would they pop out from my brown hair?) or a blushing pink frame (would they flatter my complexion?).

What’s In A Frame?
If we are living in a material world, then one might wonder exactly what goes into their accessories. As technology improves, so do the means of building frames and lenses with the result being a continued movement in the direction of more streamlined, lightweight and sturdy frames. Happily this means the potential of eyewear is always evolving! When you look at frames, perhaps the first things you’re thinking about are the silhouette, the color, the designer—but do you stop to consider, “what’s in a frame?” CONTINUE READING
New Year, New Styles
My favorite thing about the start of a new calendar year is the promise of the fresh slate; reboot, re-start, rejuvenate. Out with the old and in with the new (mantras I apply to a first-of-the-year wardrobe/eyewear clean out). Hopefully your new year started with a swell to your bank account or an influx of gift cards (thanks to the holiday season) so you are able to indulge yourself in new frame styles from Pearle Vision!
I for one am certainly an advocate for starting 2012 in fresh style, and there’s no better time to tie in an eyewear update than in sync with your New Year’s resolutions. With your hopeful outlook and self-improving goals in check, I invite you to survey some of my favorite new styles that go along with the New Year and some of the common new resolutions we’re making: CONTINUE READING
