Oh, nice! I thought the violet would be really purple, but your's looks almost tortoiseshell. In any case, it looks fabulous on you

Well the front IS tortoiseshell but looks more like leopard to me, the ear piece is Violet & the inside is a slightly lighter shade of violet

I got the Ray-Bans too. This was taken with the demonstrator lenses in because I was so excited. They are having my prescription put in right now, can't wait!
Amazing! I am so sold on these.

oh! it's the violet ones, I thought it was the all-tortoiseshell ones! You can't really tell in the picture. They do look really fab. I didn't win the auction last night of the vintage ones I wanted, so now I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get these ray-bans instead! they're a perfect shape and you don't have to worry about them falling apart!
You're right, the front of the coloured ones looks more leopard than tortoise, which is quite cool... I think I'm going to go for the red ones! Now, just need to count my pennies....
Edit: OK, I just went for it! I ordered them online from www.designerglasses.co.uk, they were the cheapest I found at £86.50 (incl. postage) for prescription anti-scratch and anti-glare lenses. It says they should come in 5-7 days! So excited!

LinaSofia~ I'm sorry you didn't win the vintage ones I have tried many times to win a auction for some vintage cateyes too. But I'm a little glad I didn't because being that old they probably wouldn't last to long with me as a wearer anyway. Wow thats a deal! I paid $204 & I have to wait 2 whole weeks to have the lenses put in.

Yeah, I'm really excited about these ray-bans! They were indeed a bargain!! I'm lucky that I don't need a new eye test or anything and could just order them online. One day I'm sure I'll get a vintage pair, but for now I'm just too excited to get these! I got the red ones (or pink as it actually says!). I'll post a pic when they arrive.

Hmm, they are available in the UK - I always get them as they do indeed look different from plastic lenses. For UK ladies, find an independent optometrist, they are far more accomodating than chains.

I must find a pair of glasses like these. I love them and Dorthea Kent is adorable.

I agree those are adorable I keep looking for some with tortoise that precatseyes but they are difficult to find in a realistic size.

oh nooo... just got an email from them and the red ones are out of stock and won't come back in stock for 6 weeks. So I've gone for the violet ones instead! I wear so much red that I thought the red ones would go better, but maybe it's nice to break off with another colour

It's so great to see other ladies with the ray bans too! I might have to go for a pair of Violet/Tortoiseshell next year for a secondary pair

Finally found my reading glasses! But it turns out that I might actually have astigmatism, I'll get that checked out soon. And in the case that I do, I'm going to see if I can use these frames.

KittyAnneMalloo, that model suits you so well, good choice!
LinaSofia, your Ray Bans really are quite cool. You look very sophisticated in them.
When I was still short sighted (I had a laser operation), I wore a vintage butterfly model myself, but I didn't look half as good with them as you ladies.
