What are everyone's plans for the marketeering "holiday"? If you're like me, I bought my friendboy a box of
Godiva Chocolates. Only the best for my puppy-daddy. He's got um, a wee bit of a problem with the lactose ingredients so I got him all dark chocolates. As far as plans go, I am spending a nice romantic Valentine's weekend doing taxes, car servicing, and dog grooming... yay! Romantic, right? I thought so.
In other news, I wanted to share how cool and awesome these new Gold & Wood frames are. We got a pair for the friendboy (he hasn't seen them yet).

Don't mind my messy room in the reflection of these lenses. These bad boys are polarized lenses finished with a silver flash mirror coat on the front and a cool blue hued anti-glare coating on the back surface of the lenses. All of
Gold & Wood's frames are made of all natural exotic woods and (unharmed) buffalo horn:
"The African and Vietnamese buffalo horn is taken from domesticated animals meant for the butcher’s shop. Indian horns are taken without mutilation or cruelty, mindful of cows’ sacred nature in this country. A Health Certificate issued by Indian authorities attests to the veterinary origin and good health of the animals."
"Very little wood is used in manufacturing the settings. For example, the production of a thousand eyeglass temples requires cutting down a single tree. The anallergic nature and lightness of this entirely natural material is a major asset for the settings. For all woods used in its collections, Gold & Wood resorts to an FSC-certified supplier, a guarantee of the right and proper monitoring of the wood’s traceability by an independent certification agency. Its raw woods, from a controlled provenance, come exclusively from regions of the world where systematic reforestation is in effect and monitored by local authorities. Furthermore, the supplier’s facilities are equipped with used-water filtration and purification systems. As for the dyes used in staining the raw material, they boast extremely low toxicity rate and are strictly environment-friendly"
No two frames are alike even despite it being the exact same model. All the wood used in their frames are natural and not dyed. And buffalo horns are not ever the same color nor do they offer the same striation so one pair might have more white in it than others (as pictured).
Just thought these were so cool. Had to share. Can't wait to give it to the friendboy tonight!
