Lookmatic Glasses Giveaway

After years of squinting, I finally gave in and got glasses.  Once you start wearing them, you realize that one pair just isn't enough.  You need multiple pairs so you can coordinate with all your outfits.  That's why I love Lookmatic.  You can buy beautiful glasses and sunglasses online without breaking the bank.  They even let you virtually try frames on so you can choose the best style for your face. Not only will they let you see better, but they also make you look smarter too!

Lookmatic is giving one lucky Habitually Chic reader a free pair of optical glasses with your prescription or a pair of sunglasses! To enter, please leave a comment on this post with your name and favorite Lookmatic style.  You can always choose a different pair if you win.  (Exempt from the giveaway are the limited edition collaboration pairs from Loeffler Randall, TenOverSix, and Jason Schwartzman.)  One entry per person will be accepted until 11:59pm on Tuesday, October 2, 2012.  A winner will be announced on Wednesday, October 3, 2012. Good luck!

N.B. There seems to be some confusion on how to leave a comment from those of you who receive the Habitually Chic email subscription which arrives the day after posts are uploaded on the blog.  The blog is where all posts originate and is where you must leave a comment.  If you click on the title of the post in your email, it takes you directly to the blog post where you can scroll to the bottom and click on "Post a Comment." If you are the main page of the blog, you have to click on the hyperlink that says for example "8 Comments" at the bottom of the post to leave a comment. Please note that all comments are moderated which means you won't see your comment automatically appear.  Your comment will be approved later so please do not leave multiple comments.  If you email me directly to enter, you will be disqualified. 

UPDATE: This giveaway has ended and a winner has been chosen.  

Shown above are my pair of Lookmatic Apprentice frames in tortoise.

Geek Chic

There really isn't anything geeky about these bespeckled beauties including Carrie Donovan above but there is definitely something about a pair of glasses that makes the wearer appear smarter.  I had a cab driver ask me today if I worked at Citibank. A random question to say the least but I chalk it up to my new glasses that apparently make me look really, really smart.  I had a lot of readers ask me where I got them after seeing them in my last post so I figured why not compile a few iconic images of those who wear glasses and a few that probably will be someday.  For the record, my new glasses are Ray Ban Wayfarer Square and they definitely make geek chic.
