“Oh man, really tough decision! Both are definitely a

unique look for you. For something a bit less

traditional, we say hit up the Preston. If you are looking to make a statement through

size, then go with the Winston. Thanks for sharing!”

“Thank you! Those were my top two choices :) The only thing I am

torn about now is I think I prefer the Percey more but the Sinclair

feel tighter which I like because my face is pretty narrow and glasses normally just slide right off. Could

the Percey one's be a little stretched out from multiple people trying them on possibly? I'd get the

Percey over Sinclair if there is a chance that the actual ones I

would get would feel a little tighter than this demo pair.”

Networks of distant social ties act “not only as a medium for sharing technical knowledge, but as a place where one can seek advice, gather opinions, and satisfy one’s curiosity about a countless number of things”.

Adamic, 2008

Networks of close social ties are “useful tool[s] for collecting explicit information about [individuals’] preferences and interests that may be difficult to obtain otherwise”.

Bernstein, 2010

Users of group-shopping sites do not use those sites “first and for most to find ‘deals.’ Instead, [these sites] are used for […] extending and building friendships, and constructing one’s social identity”.

Hillman, 2013

“I love how Warby Parker has created this online family; we're all offering sexy and stylish advice whenever someone posts a pic!”

“When you're here on our Facebook wall, you're family. (This post was

inspired by the Olive Garden, which is lovely, by the way.) <-- Part of this post was also inspired by the movie

Old School.”
