Nestled in the heart of Venice Beach, Abbot Kinney Boulevard  is one of Los Angele’s hippest areas for unique shopping, featuring home-grown artists and designers in a mix of modern chic and old school. We sipped the most delicious gin and tonics and spoke with Dr. Hoff of Hoff Optometry on Abbott Kinney to find out the very best in the neighborhood.

Met the lovely Dr. James Hoff the other day.   He has a gorgeously curated eye wear boutique on Abbot Kinney blvd. in Venice.    What a sweetheart.   The store is beautifully designed in minimal and sustainable materials.   His displays are exquisitely appointed and he stocks rare and cool luxury eye wear.    There is an examination room as well to have your eyes checked for frames, lenses, contacts etc.   

Sunglasses are so important, they are not just a cool accessory.  It often shocks me how few people wear them.    He told me the number one skin cancer in California is lower eyelid.   So stop squinting and ruining your eyes and get the HOFF.

Star of CWTV’s “The Vampire Diaries” Ian Somerhalder, (who plays vampire brother, Damon Salvatore) drops in to exclusive Cassius Eyewear stockist, Hoff Optometry in Venice, CA, to do some shopping.

“Hoff Optometry & Eyewear has been getting a lot of attention, and is “the” place to shop for eyewear and sunglasses in Venice, among some of the great feedback they’ve received; “We were pleased that Hoff Optometry offers so many different styles. They carry amazing sunglasses too like CASSIUS which are nearly impossible to find in L.A.”

DAY 2: EYES

Switching to contacts or simply updating a man’s eyeglass frames can do wonders for his look. Dr. James Hoff, owner of the new Hoff Optometry and Eyewear in Venice Beach, explains: “In selecting eyewear, go for a shape that is different than your facial shape. If you have a strong jaw or cheekbones, round and oval frames may look best. With rounder faces, a frame with more angles will probably complement your features. Geek or bold chunky styles are really current right now, but don’t choose a style over something that complements your particular looks.” Even if your guy doesn’t have poor vision, he probably wears shades. Hoff continues, “With sunglasses, remember that, often, a lens that is a little lighter still allows the opposite sex to see your eyes while you’re wearing them. The eyes are the window to the soul, but you have to see them first.”
