    Warby Parker’s Fall 2015 collection focuses on the “Fall Syllabus.”  Fall 2015 is all about roaming and roving.  It is a season of accelerated movement: the wind picks up, the weather shifts, the days shrink and the leaves change colors.  In line with the Fall’s changing colors, Warby Parker’s Fall 2015 glasses collection come in an array of Fall hues, including rich reds, golden browns, cool greys and other harvest hues.  I love the entire collection!  There are frames that will fit every face type, including rectangular shapes to circular frames with subtle angular details.  Each frame starts at only $95!  Continue reading
