Face of the Day: Debbie Updegraff

Aren’t we lucky that this super fun lady is the person responsible for the juvenile books collections for the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library.  Debbie’s days are filled with dinosaurs, jokes, pets, wizards and such, and her nights and weekends are jammed with adult interests like live music and photography.  We felt this adorable Anne et Valentin “Amy” easily fit into both worlds.  Classic and timeless tortoise sculpted to a shape of whimsy with a splash of green at the temples seems to say “hey, I’m fun AND fashionable and I can recount every member of House Gryffindor or sing along to Wilco!”  We like it!

Frame of the Day 12.10.11

Today we are featuring not one frame but a series of hot new frames from J.F. Rey that feature mildly modern matte aluminum temples in cool contrast to the warm plastic fronts in classic wearable shapes.  Mike is modeling a version here in blue streaked tortoise with racy thin blue lines cutting down the length of the temples.  We think it looks sleek and fast and fashion forward, not retro, and we like it!

Face of the Day: Diana Toro

Diana Toro

Diana Toro is a fourth year KU school of pharmacy student (so she’s crazy smart,) but of course a girl has to have a little fun from time to time.  That’s why Diana chose this amazing Brasilia from etnia Barcelona in a variegated black pearl plastic with highlights of white checks.  A striking and lively combo that lives up to this gorgeous gal!  We like it!

Face of the Day: Colin Delaney

Colin Delaney

This cutey is practically family to us at Wink.  His sweetie is none other than fellow blogger (at greensandjeans.wordpress.com) and daughter to our very own Deb, Madeline Rake.   Colin Delaney lives in Philly and works as an engineer for Dupont.  He’s an avid runner, a hiker and a cyclist too, so we wanted to introduce him to the Jack-of-all-frames designer; Mykita.  This Ernest in brown and brushed silver reads highly sophisticated, scarey-smart intellectual by day and because it’s feather weight and built out of the same material that band springs are made of it plays light, agile, fast and durable on the weekends.  And Ernest is handsome enough to live up to this face!  We like it!

Face of the Day: Marty Olson

Marty Olson

When Marty Olson isn’t beautifying Lawrence one head at a time at his Salon, Do’s Delux, he can be seen around and about sporting  his “Modulo” in flat black from Anne et Valentin.  Modulo is one of those frames that combines two opposites in aesthetics; a perfect architectural geometry expressed in rigid line and precise circle, and a whimsical lighthearted air.  Such a perfect fit for an artist/musician/hairstylist.  So, when our dear friend Marty stopped by to say hello, we demanded he model this most perfectly round and perfectly suited eyewear!  We are in love with Marty (and his “Modulo!”)
