Mine are actual vintage glasses that I bought off Etsy an I love them! Some recommendations I have are BonLook, Warby Parker and Ray Ban makes an AWESOME pair of cateyes that Amazon offers for $100 (they also have some others.)  Hope this offers you a good place to start!

I've got the same problem with vintage clothing! It's all so tiny! But ebay is fantastic for great vintage clothes in various sizes, and I've actually had pretty decent luck at my local goodwill. I've found most thrift stores/etsy shops that specialize in vintage clothing usually only carry small sizes =(

My friends get their non-vintage glasses from Zenni optical and they're super reasonably priced :) Or I know a shop on ebay that has tons of vintage glasses from all eras for super awesome prices. I'll dig the name of that out when my internet is working better.

They are very pricey but the french brand lafont makes lovely re-imagined vintage frames! I have a pair called esther in an olive green color and I love them. They're very sturdy. The front of the frames are titanium (arms are plastic). They also have a frame called the gilda thats amazing too and they're usually available in quite a few colors. I tried going for an actual vintage frame but none of them fit my giant head/face and I looked terrible in them so this was a good alternative.

Ive found several pairs of vintage inspired frames at zennioptical.com for quite affordable! I have also heard of getting frames from etsy/ebay and then having lenses cut to fit them. good luck on your spectacle endeavors!
