This is the kind of eyeglass store that Tyler Brûlé of Monocle would shop at. Every single pair is…read moreoriginal and stylish and made in small batches by some super indie company in Europe. And besides that, the shop itself is sharp with its teak display cases, wall of vintage mirrors and vintage Scandinavian couch. In a word: hip. I don't wear glasses and already have a pair of sunglasses that I worship but for my husband's birthday this year he asked for his first pair of sunglasses ever. We actually wound up here by convenience sake only. We had only two hours to shop for his present before the little ones needed to get fed/napped/changed and this was the first shop we went to while heading towards Republique. And it was the last because he found the absolute coolest pair of sunglasses on earth here after trying on a half dozen pair. The glasses were a bit of a splurge at 200E but they are unbelievably beautiful and they make him feel like a million bucks, so well worth it!

I ordered a pair of Haffmans & Neumeister frames online and they were quickly dispatched from the…read moreLunigal on rue Ordener. Haffmans & Neumeister frames are incredibly difficult to find in the USA--practically impossible in California. Prices at Lunigal were unbeatable--every time I look at my new frames I feel a sense of satisfaction because I got them trouble-free for such a fantastic price. And now I have an awesome douchy brag when people ask me where I got my glasses, "Um, Paris. Yeah--Paris." Lunigal's online selection is also unique and eclectic. I doubt I will come across any locals in the San Francisco Bay Area that will have these frames--not only because they're rare here, but the Bay Area sense of style has become absolute MERDE since tech took over and stripped the area of its soul. But that's another story--I live to fight another day in savagely elegant style. Anyway, my frames were shipped immediately (pleasant surprise) and they reached California in a reasonable time, neatly packaged with a "merci" card and cleaning cloth inside. I could not be happier. Merci back at ya Lunigal Opticiens! *kiss-kiss on both cheeks*

My husband and I were talking to our good friend who's been living in Paris for the last five…read moreyears, and she told us e-commerce is less dominant there because people seem to prefer shopping in physical stores. While malls die all over America, retail still thrives in Paris. Exhibit A: Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. I've been to this department store a number of times over the years, and I both enjoy it and fear how completely it can suck up precious vacation hours. It's a fantastic place to shop, with a ton of well curated inventory spread out across multiple floors in multiple buildings. The main building features that beautiful domed ceiling, which manages to catch me by surprise every time I walk in. I haven't had the opportunity to shop for my own clothes here in a long time, but I've gotten some really great stuff on the children's floor, and discovered the souvenir section on my last visit, where I picked up some cool Paris Metro toy trains and magnets. We did somehow get stuck at Galeries Lafayette for over two hours and ended up skipping Notre-Dame, which might have been a better place to spend our last afternoon in Paris. But it was sale season, and my kids look super cute in their heavily discounted Petit Bateau. Galeries Lafayette is busy and sometimes overwhelming, but it's a wonderful department store. I wish we had something like it back home. I'd much rather shop there than fall for targeted ads on Instagram.

It was perfect since Paris had record high temperatures and we could relax and lounge nearby here.

My first experience with AV was Year 2016...and I've never gotten so many compliments on a pair of…read moreeye glasses in my life! I absolutely adore them. The TSO technician told me about 15-20 years ago (can't remember how long ago really) that AV's son had come into this TSO store all disheveled from traveling about door to door all day pursuing businesses. The original doctor of this TSO location (since retired) loved the frames and said yes! Some background info told to me by my eye tech... The son told the doctor how the Valentin frames came about being made by his father; who I shall refer to as the creative genius of artsy frames!!! It was because his wife wasn't satisfied and didn't like any of the eyeglass frames being sold in Paris at the time...so Mr. Valentin (genius mastermind and engineer I think) got to work. But, because his frames were so unique and out of the box...made out of resin for instance...the son had a hard time getting eye doctors to agree to display and sell them. And so because this TSO doctor on a small Texas island near the Gulf of Mexico ocean...in Galveston said YES...I have a fabulous pair of specticals that I adore! Shop TSO! This location has the best selection of frames I've ever seen.
