Crazy Cat Eye Glasses Lady

Holy moly, I can't believe that I'm actually writing yet another post about eyeglasses. I know, 3 pairs of new glasses in one week seems like a lot, especially for a girl who doesn't pay much attention to fashionable fads, BUT here we go again!

Quite by accident, I discovered another fabulous site called Coastal that sells prescription eyeglasses online and they just happened to be offering a special promotion where new customers get their first pair free. Free, you say? Free obviously fits into my cheapskate budget just fine. 

So, because they were going to be free (which in my mind = guilt-free) and I'd already gone out on limb with my new vintage green cat eye specs and wood sunglasses, I decided to choose something out of the ordinary once again. Something I would never picture myself wearing. Nothing black. Nothing boring. Instead I chose the exact opposite. Clear acetate frames lightly tinted in a summery shade called Orange Pekoe. My decision led the quick realization that I had already broken my second rule. Oh yeah, I definitely could have pictured myself wearing these frames - back in the early 80's when I was in 5th grade. Just the thought of it made me shudder in horror. I honestly have no idea why I ordered them anyway.

LOVE L740 Women's Frames - Orange Pekoe

 Also available in Cotton Candy, Passion Fruit, Black and Tortoiseshell.

I was a little nervous when the box arrived, but I boldly tried them on anyway fearing the worst and hoping for the best. Much to my surprise, I didn't feel like the awkward four-eyed kid that I remembered being the last time I wore oversized glasses that look more like a Jell-o flavor than something I would ever consider wearing on my face.

I adore my new frames and wear them everywhere! The youthful color and vintage cat eye shape screams summertime and actually compliments my skin tone and face shape better than I ever would have imagined. I have absolutely no regrets! Ordering was easy peasy with the fancy schmancy try-on view that allows you to upload your own photo. Delivery was quick too - just two days!

Thanks for stopping by to see my sassy new specs! I was not bribed, paid or compensated to write this post and all opinions are my own, but when you shop through my referral link, I will earn credits to spend on even more fun frames :)

Summer Lovin' - Wood Sunglasses

You might say that I was a little overly excited after receiving my retro inspired eyeglasses last week. Who knew that a new pair of specs could make a girl feel so sassy? Anyway, I was actually browsing for a second pair to add to my wishlist when I noticed the 3-day delivery guarantee banner on the Lookmatic website. Delivery in 3 days or your next pair is free, really? Hmmm, it seemed that mine took a bit longer than 3 days, so I anxiously checked the tracking number on my order and sure enough, I had patiently waited 4 whole days. Gasp! I promptly contacted customer service expecting to hear a perfectly stated excuse as to why my order was the exception to the rule. No siree! Instead I was asked which frame and lens combination I would like for my free pair.

Because it's summertime and there is no extra charge to tint the lenses of  prescription eyeglass orders at Lookmatic, I knew that my next pair had to be sunglasses. So, the search was on. I wanted something out of the ordinary. Something fun. Something I knew I would never find on the rack at the office where my eye doctor lives. And then I found my new friend Apprentice in Brown Wood Gold. Yep, that's right. WOOD. As in real wood. I think. Maybe it's bamboo? Anyhoo, I added the brown tint and voila!

Oolala! New Marilyn Specs In Vintagey Green

So, I recently became acquainted with the idea of ordering prescription eyeglasses online and have to admit that I've been pleasantly surprised with how easy it is. Not to mention, fun!

I've never been much of a fashionista and honestly don't even think that I've ever owned a pair of eyeglasses that I really and truly loved until I purchased a coupon code for a pair of Rx glasses at Lookmatic through a special promotion featured on Fab. Because I got a killer deal and I already had a perfectly good, (yet slightly boring), pair of eyeglasses, I decided that I was going mix it up a bit and choose frames that were a little bit funky.

I spent the better part of an afternoon using the handy virtual try-on feature to sort through all the frame styles and color combinations. Less than a week later, my gorgeous green Marilyn's arrived on my doorstop!

It was love at first sight! With a slight cat eye shape and the fabulous vintage shades of green, they make me feel pretty and so retro-chic. I couldn't be happier and think I may have to order a second pair in tortoise.

Marilyn Women's Frames - Green

Also available in black, tortoise and red. 

Lookmatic specializes in geeky-chic, retro and vintage style prescription eyeglasses for men and women with prices lower than you'll find at your eye doctor, but don't take my word for it - go see for yourself!
