New glasses

I got myself some fabulous new glasses after Nazilla asked on twitter for glasses wearers. She runs http://www.lillaloves.com/ and really is the nicest girl! I love her blog.

So after asking me a couple questions on my blog she sent me a code enabling me to get any pair of glasses from the selectspecs economy range, the code covered a pair of glasses up to the price of £22.50 and the £4 delivery price.

As most, if not all, glasses wearers will know, getting new glasses is great, it's fantastic putting that new pair on  and feeling fabulous. However, picking that new pair of glasses is not so much fun! I ummed and aaahed over many many pairs, very nearly picking an almost identical pair to the ones I already have but I finally decided on this pair.

It does't help that my prescription is ridiculous! Short sighted in one eye and long sighted in the other. Makes getting glasses a nightmare! Takes weeks for them to put them together. I go this pair within a week of placing the order. Amazing!

I ruddy well love these! Purple, check. Marble effect, check. Sparkly bits, check. Love them!For years now I've stuck to wearing chunky frames, I don't think thin or wire frames suit me at all. Plus I like making a bit of a statement when it comes to my eyewear.

I don't really know what else to say about these really, I just love them! I definitely recommend checking out selectspecs if you wear glasses. The prices range from £6 in the Value collection all the way up to £70 in the Platinum collection. I'll definitely be purchasing some more glasses from this site when I have the money spare. I love having multiple pairs of glasses, different ones for different moods!

Above pictures are just to show you the difference between old glasses and new ones :)

Do you wear glasses? How bad is your eyesight? Have you tried selectspecs before? Do you think you will now if you haven't?

Fashion Hypocrisy

One thing I cannot stand these days is those big 'geeky' (and I use that term very loosely when it comes to this!) glasses that tend to not have any lenses as the wearer doesn't in fact need glasses. In all honesty though, most of this hatred is probably due to the fact that I need to wear my glasses constantly, which can sometimes get quite tiring. What I wouldn't give to be able to wear glasses one day and not the next, without the faffing of contacts!

I'd always loved the idea that I could get laser eye surgery and have lovely working eyes. Until my optician told me I couldn't get laser eye surgery due to my eyes being that messed up they wouldn't go near me. Boo!

I'm getting off topic here, so I hate those not needed glasses.

Or I did, till I found these..



Best 25p I have ever spent! Yes, twenty five pence, from that wonder that is eBay! I did feel extremely hypocritical buying these but in my defense, I don't wear them. They sit next to my other Hello Kitty things on my windowsill. That word has always confused me, it never looks right.

But yes, if it has HK on it, I'll probably want it. Above post proving that point!
