The label has been making the shoes for decades, and though its new optical line is just a season old, the collection picks up the same unfussy chic for which the brand is known. The Tod’s 1 (pictured below to the left), from the 14-model range, has an Old Hollywood shape (and a touch of gold or silver, in metallic inlays) without being flashy. No wonder Hollywood’s own most down-to-earth starlet, Jennifer Garner, has already been seen sporting a pair.

Dear Patients and Friends:
After a 14 year practice at Eye Care Associates of St. Louis, my wife and I have decided to relocate out of town to be closer to our daughter.
It will be a big change for us, but an exciting one, supported by the fact that I know I leave my patients in the hands of very skilled and trusted colleagues. In fact, members of my own family will continue their care here !
It’s been both a pleasure and an honor to serve such a diverse and interesting patient base. Thank you for the opportunity to care for you and your family.
Best wishes to all!
Sincerely,
Philip Treu, OD

LaFont frames are not for the faint of heart… So if you are craving a unique look that isn’t available at your big chain eyewear stores, come visit our optical shop.
Distinctly French in design the LaFont line is eccentric in every way: color, shape, and texture. The collection includes LaFont Reedition, Issy and La, and LaFont.
The Reedition line is retro in style but modern in its use of material and color. Chunky square plastic frames and angular metals make up the mostly mens line.

"Again" by LaFont Reedition
The Issy and La line is as colorful as their name would indicate. Purple and pink translucent plaids, snakeskin patterns and Art Deco inspired beads are just a few examples of the textures, patterns, and treatments used to create an artsy and eclectic look.

"Priscilla" by Issy and La
The third collection is the original LaFont line. This collection features more womens styles in both metals and plastics. The colors are more subdued compared to the Issy and La Line but still creatively featured as in the bi colors of the Katy, featured on below.
