Frame Friday – Maui Jim Lava Tube – June 15th

Hey everyone, I think Spring and Summer had a meeting and decided to merge their seasons because it has been HOT!!! While I’m not one to only talk about outdoor lenses (aka sunglasses) when it’s hot, I figured today would be a good day to showcase a new Maui Jim sunglass I am falling in love with. It is the Maui Jim Lava Tube. The one I’m wearing in the video is the Satin Sepia with Maui Sunrise lenses.

I’ve been a fan of Maui Jim sunglasses for years. The clarity is amazing. Colors are sharp. While I’ve tried all of the lenses, my favorite has always been the neutral grey bi-gradient lenses. Today, while I was doing the video I looked around for the first time with the Maui Sunrise lenses and I was pleasantly surprised. The clarity is similar to my grey lenses. They are pretty. The colors were vibrant. I will definitely have to get a pair of the Maui Sunrise lenses!

Maui Jim sunglasses are available in prescription, non- prescription, readers (meaning no prescription on top, just a reading segment on the bottom), and customized. For example, if you wanted a Satin Sepia Lava Tube frame with HCL bronze lenses in them, you could do it. I am always customizing Maui Jims for patients.

If you like aviator style frames but they just don’t look right on you, the Lava Tube is a nice alternative option. As a modified aviator, it will look good on multiple face shapes. Overall, the new Lava Tube is sharp looking, lightweight, and fits a variety of people, from a larger head, like mine, to a smaller head.

I hope you liked today’s Frame Friday and have a great weekend! 🤓

Frame Friday – Kliik 540 – April 20

Hey everyone….today’s frame is from the petite collection. I chose the Kliik 540. It is available in 4 colors. Tortoise Tribal, Black Tribal, Purple Tribal, and Grape Tribal.

Kliik does a great job designing beautiful frames for both men and women with a narrower face. If you are someone who normally finds yourself shopping in the youth section for glasses, then you should definetly check out the Kliik collection. The styles vary from very sharp and sophisticated to some a little more whimsical. The frames are very good quality and will look just as nice two years from now as they do today. The colors stay vivid and they usually hold their shapes very well so you aren’t having to come in for multiple adjustments throughout the year.

I know I’ve talked about FYSH frames for the average to oversized (aka larger) heads like mine. Kliik is distributed by the same company. As the frame buyer, I try to remember I’m purchasing for a variety of people so I’m proud to say I have a large assortment of frames in both petite sizes as well as the larger sizes.

I did a BONUS frame today as well. This frame just came into our office yesterday and I know it won’t be for everyone but it is so cute and so fun, I had to throw it into today’s Frame Friday. It is the CK 18701S. It is available as a regular frame as well as a sunglasses. As an optician concerned about your eyes, I have to say I always recommend polarized lenses over non polarized for your sunglasses but I could help anyone customize the lenses to be safe for your eyes and still look amazing.

Happy Friday! 🤓

Frame Friday – Maui Jim Breezeway – April 13

Today’s Frame Friday frame is my Maui Jim Breezeway Sunglass. This frame is stylish and fit’s well. It is lightweight so I always enjoy wearing it on a warm day.

The frame I wear is the Rose Gold frame with the HCL Bronze bi-gradient lenses. I used the MyMaui option to configure it how I wanted it. The Rose Gold frame normally comes with the Maui Rose Gradient lens. I almost always prefer the bi-gradient lens because then the lens is doing the “squinting” for me in the sunglight.

I like the frame because it’s comfortable to wear at any time but has a dressy look to it as well.

Hey everyone, today’s Frame Friday frame is the FYSH 3596. It’s a very pretty frame with nice detailing and comes in four colors. As you can see, it fits my big head really well, so it’s designed to compliment a larger head but FYSH makes a variety of frames in a variety of sizes.

Frame Friday March 16, 2018: The Original Penguin

Hey everyone, today I chose the frame line: The Original Penguin for my Frame Friday. I know, I know, it’s more than one frame, but I wanted to showcase a nice men’s line and show a few of their frames. I don’t think The Original Penguin is well known as an eye wear line but it should be.

I do want to make one correction from my video, The Theodore

does not come in a jr version. I didn’t want to redo the whole video for that, I figured I would just put the correction in here.

My first Frame Friday!!

Every Friday I’ll showcase a different frame. I’ve always been a blogger, not a vlogger so bear with me as I venture into this new realm of video as well. I’m highlighting my Jimmy Choo 177 frame. If you’re personality shines bright like a diamond, this frame may be for you.

Have a great day everyone and see the world as clearly as you can! 🤓
