Amazing Mercura Sunglasses!! (Part 1)

Hi Fabulous Friends,

Yes, I’ve been missing you! Sorry for my absence as I was frantically busy working on photoshoots and television segments. Grinding! I am happy to be back posting regularly for you all! And I will try my very best to come to you daily from now on- no matter what! Love you guys! :  )

I am happy to bring to you today Mercura Sunglasses, designed by sister duo Rachel Cohen-Lunning and Merrilee Lichentenstein Cohen. They have been designing since the mid 1970’s at NYC’s famed Hotel Chelsea. Their designs include headdresses, masks, crowns, fabulous eyewear among many others!  For one of my last shoots I had the pleasure of using Mercura sunglasses. I had such an amazing time meeting Rachel and Merrilee at Hotel Chelsea where I chose the sunglasses I wanted to use for the shoot. They were soo many amazing pairs of sunglasses, which made narrowing down my selection an extremely hard task! They are all so fabulous and unique in their own way. I ended up leaving with 33 pairs! (!) You can see the sunglasses I used on the photoshoot HERE.

In between looks I had my fab model Geli Forbin model the 33 pairs of sunglasses so I could show you all! Geli is a hot new model who is sure to make an amazing impact! It was awesome working with her. I was in awe of how she had a  different look and pose to coordinate with the uniquness of each pair of shades! She remind me of a young Grace Jones, don’t you think? Since I have so many pics, I split this post up into 2 parts! Enjoy!! : ) Btw: I took the pics myself!

Amazing.

To see the rest, go on to Amazing Mercura Sunglasses Part 2!
