One of my longtime sponsors, Loni Vintage, thought it would be fun to giveaway this oversized pair of sunglasses this week and I couldn't agree more. Sunglasses are often neglected as an accessory for winter, but these are perfect for blocking that snowy glare or hiding behind after a night of too many holiday cocktails. All you have to do for a chance to call them your own is leave a comment on this post. Any random thought will do... tell me what you're reading, your favorite holiday indulgence, your pet's name. The first thing that pops into your head!

Hi! You are very beautiful, I think.
Oh, I love these!
Pet Name: Sar Bear
My random thought is that reading books is so much more fun in cold weather. In summer you feel as though you have to go out and enjoy the sunshine, but in winter, when it is grey and cold outside and the wind is rattling the windowpanes... there is nothing nicer than staying in bed all Sunday morning and reading a really great novel. I know, because that is exactly what I did this morning (complete with hot coffee and pastries).
love them <3
i love everything in retro style <3
although i would wear these to block the glare from the snow...i'm going to bali over xmas and i would LOVE to have a new pair of glasses to wear
they are so perfect
i love these! they remind me of jackie o - i would wear them with a nice pair of dark jeans and a black turtleneck - to channel miss o! (ps - my cat's name is jackie o - how fitting!)
thanks for sharing the giveaway!

Love these wonderful glasses!
Here's a lyric for you: "I'd rather be a forest than a street. Yes I would, if I could. I surely would./ I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet."
I was just listening to Simon & Garfunkel. My ears are in love! Happy Sunday!
Love, Benicia
I am very excited to get my first follower for my blog!

(There are two writers for this blog so if you get another entry with that same url that's why).
I just learned that the closest two languages to English are Scots and Frisian. I have never even heard of Frisian, but it's spoken by 500,000 people-- in parts of Germany, Holland, and Sweden, I think. Fascinating, don't you think? I've been searching the internet to learn about second language acquisition (I want to learn German), and I'm finding so much interesting information relation to language learning.
Anyhoo, those sunglasses rock! And I was just thinking earlier today that I need a pair :) Fingers crossed!
lovely sunglasses!:)
well, I'm in Portugal and winter is comming, I'm frozen here! brrrr
OK...first thought: the smell of paperwhites is my favorite scent of the holidays. My mom plants them every single year indoors in the fall so they will bloom around christmas. They're a very fragrant, tiny, white bloom that grows from a bulb.
And those sunglasses are fabulous :)
love love love big sunglasses, love love love vintage, and my pups name is basil! Thanks for all the great posts!
Hmm- here's a random thought: I watched The Diving Bell and the Butterfly on my flight to CO this week and I loved it!
Thanks for the giveaway!
The first thing that pops into my head is that think that I don't really understand all the hype about Kayne West's new album. I've heard people raving about it for the past while so I checked it out. I think I could like the music if the lyrics weren't so vulgar. I mean I'm not super straight edge or anything, but there is some abrasive content in that album. I will admit to liking the sound of it though.
Also, I'm loving the new H&M and Lanvin line. To die for!
Alex (m.alexloewen@gmail.com)
I'm loving these glasses, and am glad I'm the first one to comment...is it enough to secure them, though?! And can they be shipped to the UK?!
Anyway, loving the other pics, especially the H&M bird print dress x
hmm I LOVE those sunglasses!
And my pet's name is Katze!
I just watched Niagara for the first time and found Jean Peters absolutely amazing! Too random? ;D
Right now I'm thinking about how badly I want a 2nd tattoo!
These sunglasses are so cute :)

My thoughts from the uk. Snow is on it's way and how better to watch snow fall than watching breakfast at tiffany with a hit coco and a fluffy blanket :)

White chocolate hot cocoa is delicious!
These sunglasses are so adorable I'd love to have them as my own. I'd wear them all winter and summer long!
Also I'm currently reading the Geography of Bliss and my dogs name is Max!
my cat's name is leo, he is a rescued cat, a fighter and survivor!
My random thought is that these glasses are amazing! Also, I just want to say that I love your blog and have been reading for quite some time now, but randomly leave comments. Definitely one of my favorite blogs! : )
I'm in Australia, so these glasses couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me!
Random thought: I'm so very happy this morning :).I've got the day off work, so I thought I'd spend it eating bagels and doing some serious vintage accesory shopping for a retro party. Wish me luck! Xx
i've been invited to a winter ball and have no idea what to wear :/
xoxo
Ohh, too cute! I have a rabbit called Chomby; he is also too cute! He lives inside and likes to have the fur between his ears patted.

Oooh... I adore sunglasses all year 'round!
Favorite holiday indulgence: sugar cookies! I made up my list of Christmas cookies to bake this year (I make enough to give to family and friends) and they were top on my list. I have such a sweet tooth that anything really sugary appeals to me. But sugar cookies are a favorite because they can be decorated to the nines! (One of my favorite parts of holiday baking.) lol.

I'm reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe and loving anything vintage.
These glasses are adorable thanks for doing the giveaway!
These are so beautiful! My random thought - there's nothing better than spending all day curled up on the couch with a cozy blanket, some green tea and a good book.
These are amazing! I've been wanting a similar pair but the vintage version would be devine!
My random facts
Im reading: Charles Dickens - Great Expectations

I agree, Winter sunglasses are a must! They stop my eyes watering in the icy wind!
My thought relates to Mad Men since I've just began season 2 and it's about how annoying Pete Campbell is! haha!
Random Thought-I'm new to this giveaways. Thought it would be fun to enter and actually win something.
I always thought that pecan pie was much too rich for more than one slice. Not so this year! :)
I have light eyes - hazel - and I even wear sunglasses when it's cloudy in winter because the snowy glare is hard on my eyes. And these sunglasses are so pretty!
Just found your blog a week ago, and I love it! Lots of fashion ideas.
I eat popsicles in the winter and soup in the summer.

My random thought is that I'm watching The Rocketeer on Syfy right now for the first time in almost 15 years. And what's great is that I'm able to recognize so many actors in it now that I had no idea who they were when I first saw this movie. It's great! :)
Love them! My favorite holiday indulgence is Ghiradelli peppermint bark. Yum!
i would look good in these!!! Also, I really like your blog< one of my faves.
Hi! Love these! My random thought is that I am not looking forward to tomorrow. School. Ick.
The only thing I am thinking about is my little girl spending the night at her grandparents.
It would be lovely to win these fantastic frames that I could eventually pass down to her!

Hmmm, my random thought is that things mostly don't turn out the way we hope... sorry to be a downer, bit of a bummer of a day. A new pair of adorable glasses might help! :)
Because I was wayyyyyy hungover today and, even in the gray light of a pre-winter Sunday, needed some serious shadin'.
the first thing that popped into my head was... How AMAZING these Sunglasses were and how cute they would look with A Cute flirty dress, Big chunky Scarf and sweater, and of course the perfect over the knee leather boots!
BRilliant! <3

I just watched the Wicked Witch of the West melt away on Wizard of Oz!
one word: Toblerone!
These glasses are simple and chic! Adorable!
My latest holiday indulgence: persimmon crisp. Very easy to make, and not too guilty since it's mostly fruit!
My dog is Maddie, and my cats are Bill and Kiddo.
baked two loaves of julekake this evening.
now crocheting an afghan while reading blogs and listening to smog.
still waiting for snow.
Hi there, I tried red lipstick today. It wasn't as pretty as it is on you. You look GORGEOUS with red lipstick. I'm totally jealous. :)
Hazelnut, velvet, swans, and lollypops.

Blocking out the sun bouncing off the snow is right! It makes me miserable (though I do love me some snow)...

I should stop procratinating on school work and just write the darn paper but I can't cause vinitage things keep catching my eye on the internet!
These are cute! I love following your blog, you always have the cutest vintage looks. Yay for holiday food! <--my random thought.

These sunglasses are ah-mazing! If I owned them I would wear them with over the knee boots, black knit leggings and a long beige chunky comfy sweater while indulging in one of my favourite holiday treats. A starbucks speciality christmas drink. Now I love my starbucks in general, but when I see the red cups and am able to order a peppermint mocha I get very giddy. Giddy because they remind me that christmas is coming!

James Dean's last words were "They've got to see us"
awww...these would be perfect for me today. i just can't get enough sleep these days and they would cover my really tired looking eyes in a very stylish way... :)
I love these sunglasses!! ^-^
These sunnies would be perfect for glamming up a super-layered winter look. Gotta love chunky knits, faux-fur and tortoise-shell glasses. Cheers!

Sitting here in snow covered county Meath, Ireland, I'm considering braving the cold to bus into Dublin to shop for Christmas decorations.....but hot tea, socks, and a good book by the fire sound very tempting!
Hi!
I'm planning to bake some saffron cake tonight ♥
I wonder if this is internationally open? Its summer here in Sydney and those sunglasses would do me perfectly!
My dog's name is DOLLAR!!!
Oh I heart those glasses, so adorable!
nothing better than a bowl of hot porridge on a cold morning, with cinnamon, raisins and runny honey stirred in!
and what beautiful glasses!
I hope this is it. I normally don't have any luck with giveaways:(

Such nice sunglasses!
I just started reading Mark Twain's "new" Autobiography. It's really good so far!
I decorated the tree yesterday and I love the way it looks glowing in the dark. <3
Where the heck will I be putting up the tree this year? Is that random enough?...hehe..I've been thinking about it all day.
Love those glasses so I hope I win:)
Ik houd van winter maar het is nu echt te koud = I love winter but it's too cold right now.
random thought: your blog evokes lots of wonderful memories since i spent my exchange year in lancaster (lived in reading) and everytime you mention certain places (goggleworks etc) it just jumps at me...
nice work. thx
Gorgeous!
Lovely glasses! A random fact: Your blog was the first I ever found. For a while, I thought it was the only vintage fashion blog on the whole web.
From Carys of La Ville Inconnue
I wish I could have another kid just so i could name him Townes. And I wouldn't let him near these glasses cuz if he's anything like the one I've already got, these beauties would be broken in less than 10.
I'm so sleepy, but these glasses are lovely.
lexie dot smyth at gmail dot com
These remind me of my Grandma on Summer Sundays when I was young. I would love to relive these memories a bit by wearing these beauties!!
My pet's name is Frida! (;-p

My initial thought...love these shades!
Ok, nice glasses;) At the moment I'm reading Roman by Polanski, a biography, while I'm writing an exsam paper on Jean-Luc Godard and his women. All that reading makes me need the glasses haha;)
Love your blog;)
Wow! Such an interesting shape. I need these to cover my tired eyes during exam season.

The random thought - I wish winter was over! Today was the first really cold day and the thought that it was just the first day makes me somehow blue.
BTW, perfect sunnies :)
im thinking that my face hurts because in true dramatic style i slipped on some ice during the weekend and managed to land on my face. yes my face. and now i have a black eye, ill need the shades to hide it. X
Loving the Glasses!!
My random thought o' the day is: I love the Fall, but I hate the sound of noisy leaf blowers!
Though these sunglasses are amazing, I can't stop thinking why all red-headed men look just the same. They are all like twins and it sucks when you had one as your bf...

my kitty winston came inside filthy juat a few minutes ago. he had to get a quick bath.....i know, you're probably thinking i'm covered in scratches, but he's the greatest cat ever and didn't do that. or even squirm really.....
i guess he wanted to be clean.
love these glasses. loved reading everyones thoughts.
xo~jane
This would be my fifth pair of sunglasses if you pick me!
I would love a pair of vintage sunglasses! As I grow older, my eyes seem to get more and more sensitive to the sun...
I think Gwyneth Paltrow's character in "The Royal Tenenbaums" would wear these (and I would too)!
i would like a cupcake!
Very retro! I could have great fun pretending to Audrey Hepburn in these.
Random thought? I need some more chunky cardigans in my life.
ooOOo how my peepers would smile behind these beauties! x
Bobby Vinton has been playing for the entire month! I love the song Mr. Lonely.
I can't wait to catch sunbeams with those sunglasses! =D
Best, Michelle
Too cute! I need more sunglasses in my life!
Random fact- My last purchase was a lionhead bunny, who I named Gatsby! (after my favorite book!!)
I just discovered your blog and I'm in love!!! so great! I'm a follower
...and I just realised this afternoon that Chritmas is almost here :)
Love these! I'm reading Papillon which I just figured out is a true story. Unbelievable!
These are adorable!
Beginning of dead week/finals week --reading your blog definitely brightens up my day (and also makes me want to completely overhaul my wardrobe) :)
Why not? Maybe I'll get lucky!
My cat's name is Taliesin. He's awesome. so are these sunglasses.
I've recently become obsessed with blues artists from the 50s and 60s. I just can't stop listening to it.
My random thought is how good warm soup tastes on a cold day :)Would love to win these glasses they are so cute.
Two things popped in my head! 1. My dog's name is Juliet
2. I LOVE those glasses!!!!
I like peanut butter... on my pretzles! Yum!
Hi there :)
I think you are absolutely fabulous.
That is all.

I have commandeered my dad's Ray Bans circa 1981, but these beauties would be mine, all mine. And I have an old dog named Cousin Emma.
I just finished watching the movie Greenberg.
Want those sunglasses real bad.
i just started reading Zeitoun By Dave Eggers (I highly recommend it) and my kitten's name is Charo.
Ciao Sallyjane, I'm June from Venice. Here's almost snowing.

A song to listen to:
Tonight - Sibylle Baier
I only just heard about her, but am so glad I did.
these glasses are lovely!
i think the most repulsive thing in the entire world is that little white bit at the center of an orange (just eating my lunch, that was the first thing that popped into my head).
gorgeous!
i have one window in my house so all of plants hang out there ever other day. It's a part-time job!
those glasses are fantastic!
I like to eat frosting out of the can. my friends think it's weird, but I think it's delicious. just one of those things I picked up from my family and never realized wasn't normal until someone told me so.
Wish me luck as I apply for Ph.D. programs!! And I'm very excited to find your blog :)
One of the many things I love about the holidays... mandarine oranges!

I used to have a pair of glasses like that! yes, it was my reading glasses not sunglasses. I wore it to my 7th grade class and thought how everyone else look boring in their tiny normal frame. Everyone else thought of me as a lunatic of course, not very fashion forward.:)
As a child my Mother picked me up from pre-school and instead of driving home, we sat in the carpark as Mum modelled her various selection of new sunglasses for me to decide. It was a beautiful Autumn afternoon and I remember the sun rays dancing off the dashboard. It's quite odd that I remembered that, but in case your wondering I chose a light green pair, as it was the early 90s afterall.
Love your work as it is a constant source of inspiration.
Elizabeth
I used to dream of these sort of glasses...now i'm crossing my fingers so my dream will come true xxx

These glasses remind me of Audrey Hepburn. No specific movie or character, just her.
My random thought: Blowing bubbles is more fun when you are older.
Buying vintage has been on my mind the whole day! These sunglasses are the perfect find!
this remind me of my grandma.

Hi guys! I'm so happy you all love this pair! good luck for all of you!

I just started a new job and my bosses keep handing out cookies, candybars and lollipops to their employees almost everyday. I don't know if that is normal behavior but I'm certainly not complaining! (;
thecapriciousclub(at)gmail(dot)com
thank goodness we get wine at work on wednesdays.
those are beautiful! I love wrapping gifts for Christmas-i get a little crazy and everything coordinates-it is a little indulgence for me -with real ribbon, handmade tags...it just looks so pretty under the tree!
You'll get a lot of pet name ones I should think! One of my cats' name is Achtung, german for Warning or Beware or something. My other half suggested it because of the song Achtung, Baby and for some reason I had a brain flunk and thought it was a Radiohead song rather than a U2 song... I wouldn't have agreed to it if I hadn't mistakenly thought that for a second. Now we are stuck with it! Amazingly though it suits him.
Random thought? It goes like this: I really, really don't like winter. That reminds me that I also hate summer. Which may lead to a conclusion I'm kinda moaning minnie or something. But I'm not! I like animals, cats especially. And all those fluffy bear-like ones too. And plushies. You know, I've got two plush dogs - Siegfried and Ulrich. They're just pure awesomeness :D Oh, and hungarian. That's why I'm going to study hungarian filology and start working as translator from hungarian.
Is it enough random? I hope so :D
Greets, A.
Oh, hun, seeing these sunglasses You can't think anything else just how AMAZING they are and how FIERCE they would look with different looks. My heart is melting, so super chic they are!
♥

Wow, these glasses are totally amazing! I love the shape so much, I was looking for one like that, but sadly I didn't found it. But this one is lovely ^___^
Great post, Loves, London. x
I wish we had cold weather in southern california. today was over 70!!
Lovely shades! Just what I neeeed, during this cold, snowy winter in Oregon. Just so I can pretend the sun is out!
So, so cute! Right now I'm writing an essay. I've found that in War and Peace there is often glittering, glistening, and sparkling meteorological or cosmogonical phenomena, and it is always connected with a character finding solid ground to orient themselves cosmologically and come to a new understanding of something.
I hope to sparkle in these glasses!
