GrandPrairie Wayfarer – Tortoise / Hyannis Rectangle – Tortoise
Anyone remember when you were in school and you really wanted glasses because ya know they were super cool … Ha! Well when I was 15 I was adamant that I needed glasses. Of course, my mum thought I was having her on as my eyes had always been perfectly fine, but I insisted that I couldn’t see the board when I was sat in class. So off we went to the opticians and to her surprise I did actually need them – a very low prescription, but still.
That was around 12 years ago and since then I have absolutely detested shopping for glasses until now. I hated having to try and pick one perfect pair that would last, that I wouldn’t get bored of and that I would actually like wearing every day. Talk about commitment issues. Plus, I always hated laying out over £100 every time even though it was something I desperately needed. Then to top it off you get to the till and they say it’s an extra £40 for anti-glare, another £40 for anti-scratch, another £50 for whatever and you instantly know you’re going to be living off beans of toast for the rest of the month … but at least you can see each individual bean.
Needless to say, I got fed up of that very quickly and this is where GlassesShop.com come in. Just over a year ago I ordered my first set of glasses frames online and I haven’t looked back. They offer a great selection of eyeglasses including prescription sunglasses to everyday fashion glasses for a fraction of the price that you would be charged at the opticians. I absolutely love my new Hyannis Rectangle frames* that I recently chose. They are high quality plastic frames; in fact they feel sturdier than my Tommy Hilfiger pair that I bought a few years ago. They fit me perfectly and are exactly as advertised.
The Glasses Shop have kindly given me a discount code for my readers which gives you an amazing 50% off glasses and sunglasses with free lenses (sale frames not included).

Thank you, I love them 🙂 x
Those frames are lovely Laura. I normally wear contacts but I think thats mainly to do with the fact that I haven’t found a pair of glasses I’ve fallen in love with yet. Some great tips for buying online – I’ll have to see if I can find myself THE one!

Thank you! I wear contacts a lot too, but it’s just so handy to have a pair of glasses as well. I know what you mean though, it’s really hard to find a pair that I love. x
This is so great, thanks for sharing. I need new frames asap.
