Glasses from Firmoo

F21 sweater

on my lips: NYX Matte Lip Cream "Milan"

One random fact about me: I'm not blessed with perfect vision. My vision isn't that horrible, I mainly have a probably with seeing things from a distance, so it doesn't prevent me from going about my daily life. I should be wearing glasses but I don't most of the time. VERY bad because I always end up squinting all over the place. I always put off the tedious task of selecting and purchasing glasses. Ever since I lost my last pair, I couldn't find a pair I particularly loved.

But then...

I was given the opportunity to review some glasses from FIRMOO. Firmoo is an online optical store that sells prescription and non-prescriptions eyeglasses and sunglasses. They are the most popular online optical store and they believe in the motto "Vison and Fashion the Frugal Way.' Gotta love that! They have a lot of fashionable and trendy designs to choose from. Their glasses are very low-priced and they offer a Free Glasses For New Buyers program so you can try out the glasses first.

Firmoo made it very easy for me to get glasses online. All I needed to do was get my most current eyeglasses prescription from my eye doctor and fill out the form they provide with their order. The glasses took only a little over a week to get to me. There's a variety of styles to choose them and you can even upload a picture of yourself to the website to try them on virtually.

 I love my new frames, they're classic yet stylish. The frame is very  sturdy and along with my eyeglasses, I received a case, pouch, cleaning and extra screws. All for under 25.00 USD! Which was how much the glasses I selected were worth. Can't beat that!

Check out the wide selection Firmoo has to offer by going HERE. You will see tons of stylish frames at crazy-affordable prices.

DIY Collar Necklace

lipstick: Wet n Wild MegaShield lip color "It's a Girl"

Collar necklaces are a BIG trend this fall (see my post on fashion trends). They come in a variety of styles. I decided to get my DIY on and make my own. I followed the instructions on Henry Happened to make mine. I bought my supplies at Michael's in the Upper West Side. I got everything for less than $15.00. It was fairly easy to do, you just need patience and a good eye.

Here is how mine came out. I used slightly different shades of gold for a subtle contrast.

 I can't wait to wear it against fall colors, particularly oxblood and eggplant.

Buyers Beware of Luna Boston

Luna Boston (www.lunaboston.com) is a site that sells handbags from designers such as Rebecca Minkoff and House of Harlow. So this is my experience dealing with them:

I ordered the Gypsy Crossbody Clutch by Rebecca Minkoff. I received it within 2 days and was dissatisfied because the color and texture of the bag wasn't true to its description. I went to the site to process the return and they send you a printing label but that label didn't show on my screen so I called and the customer service rep said to bring the bag in person to their offices in New York.

I did so the next day which was on July 7th. It states on their site to wait 7-10 business days for a refund. It has been a month already! I've called twice and they always they say they are going to give me my refund and have yet to do so. I've even written them a stern email and still nothing. So I have resorted to writing a blog post.

It is incredibly irresponsible of them to no give me my refund and I am very dissatisfied with their poor way of handling things. So I warn all my readers to think twice before purchasing anything from this site.

Mini Purse Haul + My Eyeko Twitter Prize

I did some shopping for Spring and this is the first of many hauls that I'll be doing. I'll be doing a video on all my purchases once I'm done. This first post is on some purses that I purchased. I am also including some goodies I won from Eyeko on Twitter. they had a contest where you had to name your guilty celebrity crush and my answer was Gregory Peck. He was just so refined and handsome and I love him as Atticus Finch in "To Kill A Mockingbird".

Here are the purses as I purchased as well as a necklace and brush holder..

orange purse- H&M

clutch with crystals- Kollares

small purse-F21

orange brush holder-F21

necklace-F21

I got this clutch at this store that I love called Kollares. It is located in Uptown, Manhattan in 207 st. This is where I get my shoe fix at because they always have a nice selection. They also have really nice purses and I purchased this little clutch because all purses were 20% off. And I can never turn down a sale. I find this clutch to be quite unique and can't wait to accessorise with it during a night out.

The purpke ourse has a long strap so it's good for everyday use. I like colored bags because they add a pop of color since I wear neautral colors most of the time. I needed a brush holder so I got this one at Forever 21 and I think it's so cute!

And here is what I won from Eyeko..

I havne't tried out my goodies yet but I can't wait to do so. I know the lip pen smells yummy because when I swatched it, I got a hint of the scent. And I think the necklace is so cute!
