My friends are not only witty, well read and loyal – they also have a wonderful sense of eye wear. I snapped a few pictures of Lazarescu & Prasnaglava, and asked them about their shades.
Laza’s father is an importer – “In the mid nineties somebody imported these Polaroid glasses and couldn’t pay the shipping fees… so we had 10 boxes lying around the house.” He describes the look as retro sport – “If action calls the goggs are waiting!”
Josh (or Prasnaglava as he is fondly known) found his glasses at the New Lynn $2 shop, but asked me to note that subsequent trips have “failed to unearth any more pairs”. A shame because they are outrageously cute and gender neutral! Josh describes them as “subtly provocative, complementing any outfit”.
You could say they share a philosophy that the more unique a look is, the better! They also get bonus points for being stylish on the cheap. Now to find some cheap frames for myself…

Goggles! I’m a huge fan. Next time I do a goggles retrospective on my blog (note the name), is it cool if I include this? (with proper linkage and attribution, of course)
K: Of course you may :) Your blog is adorable!
