I just scored a pair of amazing vintage YSL cat eye, tortoise shell sun glasses from Market Publique. I can’t wait to get them. I recently wrote an article for Today’s Vintage Magazine, my monthly vintage fashion column, about shopping for vintage eye wear. I interviewed Robert Alvarez, who is not only an optometrist, but also the co-owner of the Vintage Fashion Expo in Santa Monica.

Check out his tips on how to shop for vintage glasses and sunglasses. He even recommends a few brands to be on the look out for, especially if you will need a prescription like me! Enjoy!
