Barton Perreira “Emmanuelle” Sunglasses

I have a hard time spending a lot of money on sunglasses only because I lose them or my butt ends up on top of them in the car.  This one I seriously mulled over more than any other purchase in recent history because $400 is my breaking point when it comes to glasses and this one is $455.  My guy David at Fred Segal would see come by to look at it yet again and would smile, knowing it was only a matter of time (this was over the course of months, by the way).   But I love them so much, these are the only frames that fit my face!  I got this style but with white frame, making it super uber cool and retro.  Doesn’t this remind you of those 70’s wide frame Diors?  But totally updated and not so square.  These are big, I can handle this bigness because fortunately (in this case, but normally it is unfortunate) that I have a wide face, yet it is not overwhelming because of the tapered sides.  You really want to avoid looking like your sunglasses just swallowed your face.  Call David at Fred Segal, 310-394-1875, he will hook you up because these are sold out everywhere and very hard to come by.  Barton Perreira is the most coveted in eyewear these days (the designers came from Oliver Peoples).

  3. I have seen them in graphite (amazing!), in this maroon, white and I believe there is red that is brighter than this shown here, although this picture might be off. I actually don’t have mine yet, I tried on the graphite and had to order the white which is being sent to me. They are totally sold out, you must call David, and tell him I sent you. I will have them in NY so you will see them in every picture of me! =)

    Love,

    Kelly

  4. I want that graphite!!! Love these, need the nose pads for my little nose. I had to cancel the brown double platform Louboutin Very Croise cuz they fall off my feet. So I’ll get this instead!

  5. Thanks Kelly look forward to seeing them! I was gonna purchase a pair of white puccis but know am tempted with these albeit I do like the sound of the graphite?! Which would you say are the best colour for a blonde?!

    I have a longer face rather than a wide face do you think I would look bug eyed?! Mind you if tina is getting some she has a tiny little face!

  6. I have them in the gold with leopard print color same ones Jada Pinkett smith and Lindsay Lohan. I love them, they look very nicole richie. And as you said they have that 70s Dior sunglasses feel to them. Shame Dior don’t make sunglasses that nice these days.
