We recently held a photoshoot at one of our favorite Tulsa diners, the Dilly Diner, and it was so much fun! We partnered up with our friends at Black Sheep Boutique who sent the adorable Jayne. I had the best time styling her in over ten unique eyewear looks for this photoshoot. I have published some of my favorites in this post including a shot of myself wearing a great looking Tom Davies frame. Don't be afraid to play with color in your wardrobe.

The Bedford-Stuyvesant frame was created by designer Tom Cody, who was born in Brooklyn, as the namesake of his latest eyewear collection implies. The thing I love about the Born In Brooklyn brand is that this collection is bold and diverse much like Brooklyn itself. The seven barrel titanium hinge was designed to look like the Brooklyn Bridge.
