Selective Eyewear Elements

Any self-respecting fashionista knows that accessories make the outfit, from your bag to your shoes to your belt and even your glasses. But these must-have items are not generally available to the majority of the buying public, thanks to their sky-high price tags and cultivated exclusivity. Selective Eyewear Elements (SEE) refutes this system; its optical boutiques offer cool, modern eyewear from the top European design houses, all at affordable prices. You can find both eye glasses and sunglasses. She will be impressed!
