Hello everyone! Dayum, I am really on a roll here, am I? Posting regularly and stuff, look at me, being a profesh AF blogger! Just kidding, I already told you, after being away for such a long time due to school, I had some really cool projects to work on, and I clearly am very eager to share them with you!
In today's post, I'll be talking about something quite special to me: sunglasses. Special, you may ask? Sunglasses? You see them everywhere nowadays, from the runway to your local supermarket (yas, checkout display realness). But to me, sunglasses were always something special. You see, I have had prescription glasses ever since I can remember, and not the least, too. Basically, your boy does not have the best sight, and he needs quite heavy corrections to be able to even properly tell white apart from black (well, not really, but you get the point). Thus, my only chance of ever getting sunnies was at an optician, and nowhere else. Up to now, I never had a pair of prescripted sunglasses, but that's where Optiek Lammerant entered the dance.
Optiek Lammerant recently redid their entire showroom, which resulted in an even more welcoming and beautiful environment to pick your fave glasses, and I absolutely love how it turned out. Together with my partner in crime, Lisa, I went to the official opening, and we tried on some of the newest sunnies while sipping some champagne (you might have seen some of our shenanigans on instagram (@joppe_dc) or snapchat (joppe_dc)), and let me tell you, it was a delightful night! If you are ever able to, be sure to check out their gorgeous store, and if you are not able to, well, thank the internet, because you can just go and browse the webshop to check everything hot and happening in glasses-land.
After some going back and forth, and trying on about a gazillion pairs, I finally went with these gorgeous mirrored Dior glasses. These are the newest Diorama's, and they were hot of the press when I first tried them on. If you couldn't tell, I like my sunglasses fab, unique and to be able to hide, like, half my face. Check, check and check! The amazing mirror on the glasses as well as the frame inspired me an Maya to base our entire concept around it, and when we found this amazing mirrored building on our way to another shoot location, we where nothing but thrilled. It seemed perfect! I wore my robotic-vibed tee I got from Zara a long time ago, and I paired it with an abundance of highlight, for that chromatic look. The fact that all passengers were at risk of being blinded while walking past, was nothing but a side issue. I once again love the magic Maya worked on these pics, and I can't help but be very proud of what we did together, once again. What do you think?
