It’s my birthday today! We’re going to celebrate tonight over pizza with a few friends. I’m looking forward to a low-key, quiet night — so much needed after my busy week in Chicago.
And what does that have to do with glasses? Nothing really except that you, lovely readers, get a present of new glasses for my birthday. Happy dances all ’round.
ClearlyContacts.ca has kindly offered to give one of our readers TWO pairs of glasses: these retro-inspired Derek Cardigan glasses in smoke (which I’ve wanted for a long time!) and a similar pair in light pink. For the month of October for every pink frame purchased, Clearly Contacts will donate $25 to support breast cancer research. It’s so grey and dreary today that a pair of pink glasses could really liven things up.
(Guys, if you don’t want pink glasses for yourself, do still enter. Girlfriends, wives, sisters will gladly take the glasses off your hands.)
Here’s how to play: check out the selection of frames at clearlycontacts.ca and leave a comment below about your favourite frames for fall. We’ll pick a winner at random and announce the winner on Friday at 5 p.m. mountain time. The contest is open only to residents of Canada. Good luck!

Congrats Sarah F.! You’re our winner. We’ll put you in touch with Clearly Contacts right away.


Ummm, the “…only open to residents of Canada” broke my heart. Happy, happy birthday to you Chris!
My fav for Fall would be the Derek Cardigan glasses…which I’ve also been loving for a long time! Wish me luck;-)
Clearly Contacts offer frames with calming tones of soft hues in purple, silver blue, birch & more that are feminine & chic.
My favorite frames for fall are the D&G 1203-814 Dark Havanas http://www.clearlycontacts.ca/glasses/frames/d-g-1203-814-dark-havana/prod28279.html I like the tortoise shell-like speckles and thick rims. They’d pair well with a snazzy toque and scarf to chase the cold fall weather away!
I love the grey Derek Cardigan frames you’ve shown above. I’d pair them with…a cardigan! And a scarf of course
Happy Birthday! I’ll remind you my birthday is next week and I love anything in tortoise shell!
I love clearly contacts! they always have such a good selection for such a reasonable price! My favorite ones right now are the D&G 1203 1767 Striped Grey Ice. I would love to win the prize!
I love the Oakley Radiate Lavender Tortoise frames. I would love to win, I love my contacts way too much and could use a break!
Happy Birthday Chris!!!! I love CC! I always get my contacts from them. I’m in LOVE with the DC glasses in smoke and pink!
Happy Birthday Chris! I love the Dc glasses in smoke. I think they’d look lovely on Mark. xo j
Happy birthday!
The DC glasses in pink are fab- not many pink glasses out there. Great with a warm wooly cardigan I think
Really lovin’ the new “Ray Ban Dark Grey Faded Grey” frames. Like really really.
I love the Derek Cardigan 7010 brown tortoiseshell glasses. They may be mens glasses but I’d totally wear them.
Derek Cardigan 7005
The Derek Cardigan glasses were on my hit list when I saw them…lovely, lovely, lovely
