Actually the round frame is very fashion forward right now so you may not have that hard a time finding them. I am a 20s/30s enthusiast myself and was really excited to see all of the round shapes popping up in sunglasses. I have also seen round prescription glasses about, but I live in NY, so I am not sure how common they are in other parts of the country.

Sol Moscot is an optician that has been around since 1913. I actually sold them at a clothing boutique when I lived in Austin. Very good quality and a nice company to work with. The designs here are actually reproductions from their vintage archives. Fabulous Fanny's is awesome for true vintage eyewear. Just about all of my friends have purchased frames there.

New York is amazing. I kind of mix my vintage style with modern runway influence and street trends. I am still learning to incorporate an Art Deco look with my contemporary tastes. I am just a beginner but I am starting to research to get the accents right. I am a student at F.I.T. ( Fashion Institute of Technology ) so I plan to utilize their archives, library, and museum. I find 20s/30s inspired styles hard to source on my budget though. Even now with it being trendy I still see mostly higher end designers translating the look. Luckily I can find designer stuff on ebay and consignment shops. I also work at a designer shoe store that happens to do a few Deco looks every season so I get shoes that work. Clothing, bags, and jewelry is more difficult though.
