The Coney Island neighorhood of Brooklyn is a place that’s very near and dear to my heart. It was actually there, in the shadow of the Parachute Jump, that I met my husband for the first time on a sunny and breezy June afternoon eight years ago.
So this new collection from Warby Parker — inspired by New York City and Coney Island in the 70s and 80s — tugs at my heartstrings a little bit.

Aren’t they just scrumptious? Makes me want to hit the beach. Right now.
