Trent Cluny of Olympia Vision Clinic in Olympia, Wash., has turned into an opportunity to help promote the profession with an optometry office playset currently under consideration for manufacture by the LEGO brand. Cluny first got the idea for the optometry playset when his daughter began to play with LEGO bricks earlier this year. Over the course of the year, he slowly began to form the playset piece-by-piece. "I took some pictures of our exam rooms and I tried to model everything after (them)," Cluny explained. "A lot of the elements in the exam room are standard optometry exam room items." Cluny also made some pieces of the set himself, such as the eye chart and digital retina images. "I found an image of an eye chart, shrunk it down to measurements so it fit on a Lego tile, and printed that out," he said. All told, Cluny said building the optometry office playset took about 20 man hours of planning, building and rebuilding to make little tweaks so it was all correct.

While in the midst of putting the LEGO optometry set together, Cluny decided to not only make a set for his daughter as a Christmas present this year, but also build a second to give in his office's white elephant gift exchange.shop lego free shipping Cluny said everyone at the vision clinic was so blown away by the LEGO set, they urged him to submit it to LEGO to consider producing. buy foam lego bricksOn December 18th, he submitted it to the LEGO Ideas website. lego shop france parisIf Cluny can get 10,000 supporters for his optometry set, LEGO will consider his idea to become a new LEGO product.buy lego table online australia

To date, Cluny has 819 supporters and 421 days left to hit his goal. Cluny believes his optometry set can be a great way to introduce kids to different professions, and can also be used as an educational tool. lego shop spb"We have a pediatric specialist in our practice and they do different techniques with children who have special needs in order to introduce them to what’s going to happen at an eye exam," he explained. buy lego city mobile police unit"I could see this being a tool for parents of kids with special needs, or even just kids who are in general scared of going to a doctor’s office of an example of what’s there." And for Cluny, it's a chance to mix his pride in optometry with an opportunity to connect with his daughter. "I’ve loved LEGO since I was a kid — it’s been nice to have my daughter get into LEGO now so we can now bond over that," he said.

"It’s been a good bonding experience for me, but this is just taking it to a different level where it’s including the profession as well."

The platforms of our pumps rarely exceeded a few millimetres, and we didn't dare dream of carved poodles heels or glossy pink film strip ankle straps. Then again, our presence hadn't yet been graced by the inimitable Charlotte Olympia Dellal and her namesake accessories line—and our bank accounts, medial arches and overall happiness levels have never been the same. Greeting us bright and early at her North Kensington home in London (we were playing Milan Fashion Week hooky), Dellal's home, for lack of a less hackneyed platitude, couldn't have been more, well, on brand. You know, as in, there's probably no better advertisement for all things Charlotte Olympia than Dellal herself. Despite having recently-ish given birth to her third child, she greeted us with immaculately-coiffed blonde waves and ruby red matte lips, in a pair of her ubiquitous sky-high heels, the first of many pairs she'd wear during our shoot (but you already saw that one coming).

Suddenly, our jetlagged excuse of an outfit felt a little, um, out of place. Dellal's longtime go-to hair guy made a few minor touch-ups while we virtually ran wild in her home: think less kids in a candy store and more perfectly grown adults with zero self-control. Her shoe closet was thoroughly raided, as was her stash of Isa Arfen separates, Yazbukey jewelry and cheeky (as in, borderline-NSFW cheeky... you'll see what we mean) Piers Atkinson hats. We chatted everything from the Rio II soundtrack (it's a long story) to Dellal's new Leading Lady handbag collection (available now!), with bags named (of course) after icons (a word we don't use too lightly around these parts) of Old Hollywood. Do Dean, Bogart, Gable and Astaire ring a bell? Launching early next year, along with phone cases and card holders, our wallets are already trembling in anticipation. Oh, and just as we were about to head out the door, our photographer Jake convinced Dellal to hop inside her claw foot tub for one last shot.

Y'know, if we were Dellal, we'd be kicking our heels up, too. Wake up to Louboutins with our newsletter. It's the internet equivalent of a friendship bracelet.Thanks for joining our newsletter list.
