Last week, Jenny McCarthy tweeted SF Optics that she needed us to make her a new pair of glasses to present at the 39th Annual American Music Awards. With her prescription on file, and her dress style in mind, we picked out a frame that suited the occasion and complemented Jenny’s glow on stage.

Check her out wearing Alexander Daas style widsom x in tortoise/blue while opening up a performance for will.i.am featuring Jennifer Lopez & Mick Jagger just before presenting the award for pop/rock favorite album to Adele at the AMAs.



Check out her tweet while wearing Alexander Daas backstage!



Alexander Daas is available at SF Optics. If you can’t come by in person, you can call us at (415) 922-7500, email us, or check out the line at an authorized dealer near you. http://alexanderdaas.com

Persol, an Italian Eyewear company founded in 1917 to make advanced lenses for Italian fighter pilots, has come a long way in its almost century long history. From the aviation experts of the First World War to the celebrities of yesterday and today, Persol has never lacked in aficionados. Lets take a look at some of Persol’s biggest fans.


George Clooney looks great in his Persol 2243-s, but there’s no suprise there.

Want his look? We can provide the sunglasses, but you have to bring the swagger.

His Ocean’s 12 costar, the timeless Julia Roberts, also loves Persols, helping to break the “boys only” image.

Julia and an unusual, closed-mouth smile.

New Hollywood loves Persol too. Here’s Justin Timberlake bringing sexy back in his favorite pair.

Justin, I love you. Let's get married and live in a wonderland of fedoras and sunglasses.

Lindsay Lohan, America’s favorite hot mess, covers her hangover grimace in this popular Persol frame.

It's ok, Lindsay. Coffee, orange juice, and a few cigarettes will set you right.

Orlando Bloom wears the same frame, but in a lighter color. And with less hopelessness on his face.

The one frame to rule them all...

Even James Bond wears Persols.

Ok, it's Daniel Craig, but whatever

Lastly, the most iconic Persol wearer, and my persomal favorite, Steve McQueen.

Look at him.  You can almost smell the manliness.

No matter what your look or style, Persol has a frame for you. Come find it at our Trunk Show this Saturday, October 22, 2011.

Chanel.  Just the one word is enough to bring to mind images of timeless beauty, classic style, and groundbreaking fashion.  Chanel means many things to many people, but to us, it means flawless style. 


Even pushed back on Anne Hathaway’s head, her Chanel 5012′s make a statement.

Look how pretty!

Britney saves a bad hair day with an awesome shield frame.

Well, tries to save it. But the glasses look great!

Dita Von Teese has such a wonderful vintage style that Chanel works perfectly to compliment. Here she is in her 4180s.

Can you believe that she was married to Marilyn Manson?

The former Mrs. Woods also has a perfect Chanel frame for her style, sporty but elegant.

Hope she used Tiger's card...

Jennifer Love Hewitt uses her Chanel model 5138 to channel Holly Golightly.

I think we've all channeled Holly Golightly. If you haven't, you should.

Jenny McCarthy, one of our staff favorites, also loves Chanel. In this picture, she’s being styled here at SF Optics by our very own Alex Feldman.

She is just to cool for words. Seriously. I have no words.

Now for our suprise guest, Lady GaGa. She may not be the most obvious Chanel wearer, but she coaxes a new vibe from a classic frame.

Who would have thought to wear Chanels with beer can hair rollers?  Genius.

Coco Chanel really knew what she was doing all those years ago, and her legacy has been continued by the wonderful designers that do her work today. For any style, classic and understated, or edgy and fierce, Chanel has a perfect frame. Come see the entire collection, including all the new Fall 2011 styles, at our Private Fitting this Saturday, October 22, 2011.

This week we are celebrating Chrome Hearts eyewear and the people who love them.  This brand, founded in 1988 by Richard and Laurie Stark, originated making motorcyle gear, but as their fanbase widened, so did their collections.  This bold and trendy brand is a favorite of both the rich and famous, and the famously rich.

Let’s start with Katie Holmes. Half of one of America’s favorite Hollywood power couples, Katie looks every bit the part in these rock star shield sunglasses.

Heidi Klum, our favorite German import, bundles up against the cold and protects her eyes with a sporty Aviator style frame. Take a style tip from the queen of the runway and don’t let a little snow rob your style!

Justin Chambers, one of the resident heart-throbs of Grey’s Anatomy, was caught dressing down in his Chrome Hearts “Erected.” Snow or Sun, keep those eyes covered!

Dr. 90210 (Robert Ray), the king of Hollywood cosmetic surgery, has been seen wearing his “Beast 3″ while working his rounds. Chrome Hearts go well with his stethoscope, don’t they?

Even the Country world is getting in on the Chrome Hearts trend. LeAnn Rimes has been crooning country toons since her early teenage years, but she’s proven she has more edge than we thought. Seen here in the “Double Tip.”

In case you need a second opinion, we have yet another doctor (albeit fictional) in our list. Omar Epps, one of the stars of House, is often seen in his Chrome Hearts glasses.

In addition to two fictional doctors and a real plastic surgeon, lets round out the list with a fictional plastic surgeon. Nip/Tuck’s Julian McMahon has been spotted in some great Chrome Hearts sunglasses.

Chrome Hearts most loyal Hollywood devotee? Paris Hilton. Here she is in her favorite, the “Queenie”

l.a. Eyeworks, the brainchild of two women who couldn’t find the funky eyeglasses they craved, has attracted it’s share of celebrities over the years. From the first famous ad in Andy Warhol’s Interview, to the famous devotees of today, this independent eyewear company has framed some pretty famous faces.

Andy Warhol was indispensible in the creation of the image of this company, and it’s no wonder. l.a. Eyeworks is perfect for the Factory.

Elvis Costello was spotted in his Blue Abbey frame, which is a fairly traditional shape, taken to the next level with that great, funky color.

Ben Stiller’s Mason is a perfect fit for him, and brings an extra something special.

Elton John is one of the biggest fans of l.a. Eyeworks and has several pairs in his collection. He even wore a pair to his wedding. Here he is in his O’Connell frame.

Check out the pattern on these bold beauties worn by Madonna.

A pattern like that will get you noticed.

Even Justin Beiber has the fever for his l.a. Eyeworks frames. Here he is wearing Bent in a commercial for the MTV VMAs.

The evidence is clear. If you want to be framed by eyewear as unique as you are, be sure to check out the l.a. Eyeworks Trunk Show on Saturday, October 1, 2011 at SF Optics featuring the most recent Fall ’11 collection!

Tom Ford is an incredibly popular brand with celebrities.  Here are just a few of the devotees wearing Tom Ford sunglasses:

As does Jennifer Aniston, a huge Tom Ford fan. Was this frame made for her? Because it is the Jennifer!

Kim Kardashian prefers sunglasses with a bit more flash, as would be expected from a high fashion Kardashian.  Here she is in the Cyrille.

Nas likes the Cyrille, too.  Its a truly unisex frame that looks equally great on men or women.

This is just a sampling of celebs who love Tom Ford, as Hollywood has truly adopted his style. All of these Tom Ford sunglass styles are available at SF Optics!
