Firmoo Unisex Glasses

Long time readers of my blog may remember this brand as I have been lucky enough to work with them a few times and I genuinely love their prescription glasses and they have such a wide range to choose from! To check out my previous posts regarding Firmoo, click here. 

This time round I picked the *Firmoo Unisex Full Frame Acetate Glasses (#DBSN61006, Black, $36) which are being phased out and discontinued which is a shame as they are a great style of glasses and one that I think will suit a lot of people. 

I had mine fitted with prescription lenses for distance and they are very effective and work just as well as Specsavers ones I've had in the past. I love the almost wayfarer like style of the glasses with the silver accent on either side of the lenses. The glasses feel durable but lightweight. They go with SO many outfits and the lens sizes aren't too big either. Mine came with a pouch as they always do but this time they also came with a printed glasses case and I love the antique map design of mine - my sister wants the case! 

The only problem I have with these glasses is the size, they are a little too big for my face so they have a tendency to fall down when I look down sadly. Other than that I love the Firmoo glasses I have been sent over the past year and I would definitely recommend them. New customers can get a 50% off code for their frames site wide, here.

Firmoo glasses updated

I have already posted a review of the first pair of Firmoo glasses that I was sent back in March but since then I have bought a pair with my own money as I just love them, they are great quality and really reasonably priced. Firmoo ship worldwide and they have a first pair of glasses free for new customers. I was contacted again by Firmoo glasses last week to review another pair. I have been sent two of these pairs of glasses for free (I bought the tortoise pair with my own money) but that does not change my opinions of the product(s). If you would like to potentially join this campaign, click here.

1. *Black clear glasses (frame number: CP6061): I have already posted a review of these glasses, click here to see my review. 

2. Unisex Acetate Full Frame Eyeglasses, Tortoise (frame number: SD2249): I bought this pair a few months ago with my own money. It is the same design as the first pair, the fit really well, they are high quality and I love the tortoise shell effect. The tortoise effect makes a nice change to the plain black glasses. 

3. *Unisex Acetate Full Frame Eyeglasses, clear grey (frame number: DBSN62108): This is the newest addition to my Firmoo glasses collection, it is a ombre grey pair! They are a bit different to the previous two pairs, they are slightly wider/bigger. I love the dark grey at the top fading to a lighter clear grey at the bottom of the lenses. 

All three pairs fit well, they do not give me headaches, they are great unisex simple styles that go with everything practically. Before Firmoo contacted me I was using my Specsavers glasses which I have been wearing since I was about 15, and I definitely prefer Firmoo glasses to any of the Specsavers ones I have had! If you are not from the UK, Specsavers is a well known opticians in the UK. 

Overall, I love Firmoo glasses and I have bought one pair myself. I would highly recommend Firmoo glasses - the glasses are fantastic, the price is reasonable and the delivery is quick too (to the UK anyway). The glasses come with a wipe, pouch and sturdy glasses case. x

Mercedes-Benz Competition: Summer Style

I was contacted by Ally at Mercedes-Benz who emailed me about the Mercedes-Benz Social Reporter campaign that was ending soon! The social reporter campaign focuses on the social reporter in all of us, as we live in an age of facebook, twitter, instagram and youtube, we can connect to the rest of the world in a way we have never been able to before. We can document and share our lives with the world and the social reporter campaign/competition give entrants the opportunity to attend events and document the experience on behalf of Mercedes-Benz. The campaign ends tomorrow at midnight - for more information, click here. 

My summer look - Gothenburg, Sweden, August 2013 

For the campaign you have to show your summer look of 2013, and as I have just came back from an amazing holiday, I thought I would use some of my holiday outfit photographs - this is the outfit that I wore in Gothenburg, Sweden just over a week ago. I greatly underestimated how chilly and changeable the weather would be in Scandinavia and Russia even during the summer so I mainly wore t-shirts, jeans and ballet pumps! I love the laid back, simple and somewhat androgynous style which seems to be the  basis of Scandinavian fashion - and home ware, gotta love Ikea! While travelling in Sweden and Denmark I saw a lot of women wearing gorgeously simple and basic outfits that I loved - simple black skinny jeans and sweaters and lightweight tops and trousers. I adore simple, basic clothing/accessories. 

My top is from Monki (an amazing Scandinavian fashion brand), my jeans are from Dorothy Perkins and my bag is from Newlook. My ballet flats, which I wore to death, are from La Redoute. The glasses I am wearing are prescription glasses from a company called Firmoo which I have worked with for months now. Oh and the photographs were taken in the Gothenburg botanical gardens and while on the ship (Royal Caribbean brilliance of the seas) on the way into Gothenburg. And if you didn't already know, I recently had 9 inches cut off my hair for the The Little Princess Trust, a charity that makes wigs for children with cancer - for more information about the trust, click here.

*Firmoo Glasses

I was contacted by Firmoo to review a pair of their glasses so I accepted. Firmoo is an online global optical store, they sell fashion glasses (non prescription), prescription glasses and sun glasses. They ship worldwide! I picked a pair of glasses which are the 'black clear glasses' (frame number: CP6061). They were priced at $46 and express shipping was $18.75 - I didn't pay anything for these glasses though (however my opinion is still my own). Here are the glasses!

I made my order on the 9th March and they arrived on the 15th March! I didn't know which glasses to pick and the photographs of others who bought the glasses really help in deciding which ones to get.Very quick delivery and the glasses came with a glasses case, pouch and mini screw driver. I love the look of the glasses and they fit SO well! I thought they would be quite big as it is a one size fits all, but they fit very well and they feel really comfortable. I wore glasses from the age for 15 to 17 (then I started using contact lenses) and these are definitely the most comfortable pair of glasses I have had. They are prescription, I just had to enter my prescription details and I can see clearly with these glasses. Overall, I couldn't be happier with these glasses! I have posted a face and outfit of the day featuring these glasses too - link here. 

Firmoo are offering a first pair free program where you can get an pair of glasses (prescription, non prescription or sunglasses) for free! You just have to pay shipping. Here is a link to more information about the free glasses deal.Also if you don't know how the glasses will look on you, Firmoo have a visual try on system where you can upload a photograph of your self to try on the glasses virtually.
