Hello. My name is Brittany. I’m a size 14/16 (18 after Chipotle). I’m addicted to skinny jeans and accessories. And glasses. Super. Adorable. Glasses.
And I’m showing absolutely no remorse.
This week we have the fabulous Ritzy, stylist from eyeglass powerhouse Rivet & Sway, on hand with a panel of fellow fashion addicts to talk about what we love, what we hate, and we refuse to give up no matter what… I’m looking at you, adorable turban.
Huge thanks to my panel: Ritzy Ryciak, stylist at Rivet & Sway, Heather Fenner, Allison Kennedy, Jess Elaine , and Daisy.
DID YOU WATCH THE VIDEO FOR TWO HUGE ANNOUNCEMENTS!?
YOU DID? GREAT!
So 1. you probably know I’ll be coming to Seattle this September for another AMAZING Curvy Girl Makeover (watch for a post on that soon for a chance to participate!)

Ooh ooh ooh! The Poetic Vintage frames are SA-WEEEET!
Thanks for an awesome giveaway :D
I love so many of the Rivet and Sway eyeglasses, but if o just had to pick one, I’d choose the Punchline frames in Neapolitan… I just love that pink!
Ritzy’s tips were awesome, and I thought it was great to suggest we try glasses we wouldn’t necessarily think we’re the right shape or color because sometimes it works out great! I try to do that with a lot of clothing and accessories, and sometimes it’s a happy surprise.
I’m loving the Ruby Red color. Such a great break from the everyday colors you see other places. I would love to have a pair of the Spitfire in Ruby Red!
All great tips, but my favorite was about how angled styles work well on people with rounder features. Hello, Six Shooter! Love!
oh great, now I need the Little Voice in both rip curl and black crystal….
I looove the Rizzo frames in Crushed Velvet.
Ooooooh! Unami for me!
I liked the tip that angled styles work well with round faces, which is totally me.
Oooh, I really like the Derring Do in Vino Rosso!
I really liked what Ritzy said about face shapes being hybrid. I can never figure out my face shape, so I’ve tried on a ton of pairs. However, I really think the crocodile Umamis would work great. Thanks, Brittany!
Sex Shooter is cute with a clever name to boot
I love hungry heart… And my favorite tip was definitely to try shapes that aren’t ones we would traditionally go to. It’s a good reminder to step out of the comfort zone to find something fresh and cute!!!
Wow! Love the frames! I am in need in a serious way for some new specs…I would think the Rizzo frames would be killer. Thanks for all that you do!
I am in love with the “Hungry Heart,” frames. Geeky girls unite! I actually am in serious need of glasses! My one year old has destroyed mine. In all honestly, it was probably me, but he can’t talk yet. ;) hah. Kidding! But winning these would help the ol’ wallet, tons.
My favorite tip was actually about the eyebrow curve. I’ve never thought about that, in my 20 years off glasses rocking. So fingers crossed and good luck to everyone!
All honesty…^
I need new glasses because my insurance doesn’t cover frames,my favorite style is Character Study in purple,thanks.
Besame mucho. Love them.
I love the Je ne sais quoi ! Super cute and fun!
Oooo I love the Rizzo style! I can be like my favorite Pink Lady! And the Six Shooter frames are a close second. I’m definitely looking at this site for my next pair of specs.
Loving six shooter!
I also love the tip about trying the styles we wouldn’t expect to work for our shape. Once I stepped outside of my comfort zone I found some awesome styles!
I’m digging the Rizzo glasses and my fav tip would be to try different styles. I already do this so it was awesome to have it validated :-)
Cannot believe these glasses! They are amazing! I love the Punchline – Neopoliton and the Faster Pussycat – Crocodile. You are amazing for giving these away! Even if I don’t win….I will be getting a pair! :)
I absolutely love the Spitfire frames. This website is so awesome!
Um holla…glasses?! And Rivet & Sway glasses? Count. Me. In. Love their Rizzo frames. They’re all “I’m a sexy librarian you wish you knew better” and need to get on my face.
I might be having an affair with Street Smart in Cherry Bomb.
But as far as tips go-I love that she said angled shapes work best with round faces. No wonder all my oval glasses look bizarre on my moon face! Yikes! Get me some square, cornered (and colorful) frames stat!
And I loved Ritzy’s tip about avoiding metal frames for high index prescriptions. My husband loves wire frames on me but I have been preferring the thicker plastic frames just from an aesthetic view but now I have a practical reason for it too! Thank you Ritzy!
And since my previous comment has disappeared into the randomness of the interwebs, let me just say I ADORE the Rizzo frames. They’re all “I’m a sexy librarian you wish you knew better” and I must have them!
I’m lusting after the core strength in confetti!
Love the Rizzo frames!! Great giveaway!! Thanks for the chance!!
I’m in love with the Besame Mucho in black & white! ;) They are definitely sexy!
Faster Pussycat or Rizzo. Love them and since the toddler broke my other specs a few months ago I desperately need glasses.
I think I would like Hugry Heart ones…but seriously…I am not sure you could go wrong!!! I am not sure what shape my face is…but I am pretty sure I am in love with the Hugry Heart ones…or the Umami ones…but my fave tip was to try something you wouldn’t normally try and Hugry Heart is something I would only lust after and never try….so Hungry Heart it is!!
Too many cute choices but I love the oversized shape of the nerdy hungry heart. Adorable!
Mantra, ruby red hungry heart are my 3 picks…and I’m sticking to them. And I so need so new, ‘in’ fashion glasses
I love Je Ne Sais Quois! And I like the tip about round faces and angled glasses!
I love the black “All Who Wander” frames. Pick me!
I’m loving Little Voice in Rip Curl!
Rizzo not only because I love Grease but because they are super cute ;-)
Totally love the Karios in brown. And if I was getting a second “crazy fun” pair it would be the Tusk in purple!
:)

Really want to throw away my contacts and wear the Spitfire in Tortoise Shell! love them on you Brittany! Cool giveaway :)
I am completely torn between the Pinstripe and Street Smart. Maybe both?!
When Ritzy talked about color changing everything about the glasses I started thinking about the Punchline in Moss Landing :)
Oooh – I really, really need new glasses. The spitfire or the meet cute are my favs. Pick me!
Ohhh, the Pinstripe look very nice, but it’s so hard to choose!
Love, love, love the spitfires!
I love the Tusk in green…and the Punchline in neopolitan. So many cute frames!
Love, love, love the Umami!
I liked the tip about having the arch of your glasses match your brow.
