Tanja Loves Ic Berlin

Stylish stylist Tanja explains her love of IC! Berlin and their Tres Chic collection as part of our ongoing series of blog posts

Looking good girl!



IC! Berlin – Samedi
"This ophthalmic frame combines the strength, flexibility and spring hinge of IC! Berlin Frames with a stylish, feminine design. This frame designed by Christina Muthsam is part of the Tres Chic collection, a fun, flirty collection designed for women. So not only are these frames an excellent example of the innovation and durability of all IC! Berlin frames, but a fashionably chic frame".


My Cosmic Cab Ride To Work

Jeff had so much fun on the way to work in the Cosmic Cab, that he posted a movie about it. Turns out the Toronto Star decided to run their story after they saw our Spectacle video.



Inside the back seat, it was a “trippy dream,” Fernandes says. A shrine of action figures and small chandeliers hung from the roof. Two screens played an array of movies. Once Fernandes turned down a Wesley Snipes flick, Batada put on a Punjabi music video.


TheStar Toronto’s ‘Cosmic Cab’ offers a ride to remember

The Colours, the colours...

Big thanks to our client Carol Mair, owner of Balloon Corp Events for the special delivery she dropped off last night. Our Queen St window has never looked more colourful.




Thanks again Carol and remember ... Spectacle loves you!!

Celebs Love The Connolly

Seems our own in house collaboration with Oliver Peoples is creating quite a stir in Hollywood.

We've been promoting this thang with full gusto since it came out over a year ago, hooking up Spectacle pals Rick Ross and Pharrell amongst others.

Our main man Jeff even selected the Connolly as his favorite frame of the year.

A couple of other hip cats have take this little slice of Spectacle style and made it their own, you may have heard of these two before.............

Kelly Loves Lindberg

Next up in our continuing series of "Spectacle Favorites" is optician extraordinaire Kelly and her love of Lindbergs.

Not only are they the official glasses of the royal Danish court, they also get the "Spectacle Stamp of Approval".


"My favourite frame?? LINDBERG of course!! How do I pick one?? True, I'm a little brainwashed after visiting the factory several years ago. There is something for everyone in this line. They are tough as nails and super comfortable since they are constructed from the purest titanium available and have no solders or screws."

Jeff Loves The Connolly

To coincide with our amazing (if we do say so ourselves) window displays at Yonge and Queen St we will be posting a blog series over the next few months highlighting Spectacle staff members and their favorite frames.

Up first is the proverbial head of the Spectacle Voltron, our Ops Manager Jeff.

Being the stylish company man that he is, Jeff's favorite frame is our very own Spectacle X Oliver Peoples Connolly...................



"It's big, it's bold and it's gold! The Spectacle + Oliver Peoples collaboration Connolly has been one of my favorite pieces for a while now. Even though the Connolly is the largest sunglass you can find, it's a far cry from the cheesy, oversized "Ed Hardy'esque" trend that has plague our society for the last few years. Mind you, you do need a bit of attitude to carry these off, so they're not for the faint of heart. The Spectacle Connolly comes in a brushed gold finish and your choice of lenses. I opted for the incognito dark-green polarized."

It's all about the three L's: Lancier, Luxury, and Lebron James...

How do you sum up pure luxury and style with ingenuity and craftsmanship? One word we like is LANCIER by Dita.  Spectacle on Queen Street West is proud to be showcasing the largest variety of Lancier sunwear you'll find anywhere and when you're talkin' about this kind of quality design and cool factor not even Lebron can resist:

 No. 6 Brings the Heat in his Lancier's



Lancier Model - 001

 
Designed by Dita Eyewear with a patented Temple Release System for maximun versatility, the Lanciers were built for the air, water and the race track, so we thought we'd suggest a few accessories you might want to consider when you pick up one of these beautys...


Or if heights aren't exactly your thing...


We might not be able to hook you up in that respect, but we'll do our best to make sure you look like you know what you're doing.  Swing by Spectacle Queen Street West asap because, like the heavy metal accessories in the pics, the Lanciers are moving fast!

 Let Me...

Take You Home...

Tonight...

Even just a tease

Remember no matter where you are or what you do, Spectacle Loves You.
