Lee Kuczewski and Declan Halpin

We are so pleased to announce that we now have a great selection of Lee Allen Eyewear available at Silver Lining Opticians. Lee Allen Eyewear, founded by Lee Kuczewski and Declan Halpin might just be the last remaining acetate frame manufacturers left in the United States. They hand craft each pair in their Massachusetts studio. The collection features vintage acetates and is especially great for narrow faces.  We couldn’t be more excited about this brand. Oh and you might have seen Lee around lately, he’s working with us.

I’m rocking my new piece!

Our friends and clients, Jonathan and Erika (of @OscarPRGirl fame) came for a visit today and bought some great new Persol Steve McQueens.  Found this photo of the beautiful couple with Jon wearing Bausch & Lomb Ray-Ban Shire via Bergdorf Mens via Silver Lining.  If you haven’t seen the Sh*t Oscar PR Girl says video–its a must.

NFL reporter Jeff Darlington tweeted this photo of himself in Von’s vintage Gucci frames the other night in Hawaii.  They are preparing for the Pro Bowl which airs tomorrow night.  Better keep your glasses on for that Von.

The glasses Kurt is wearing in this video are surprisingly similar to the Silicon model by Silver Lining Opticians.

My friend Dave showed me this awesome photo of his father on the date of his retirement in 1973.  Pretty amazing photo and handsome dude!  Great glasses.
