New Goggles!!!!!!


I got new goggles the other day!
YAY!
I'm short AND long sighted in my left eye and short sighted in my right eye.
To be honest I'm not 100% sure what this means.
I didn't like any of the frames at OPSM so I bought these Elizabeth and James frames online from Shopbop.
You can find them here.

Here's a story.... 


I emailed shopbop and Elizabeth and James to find out if I could put my lenses in them. 
Customers on Shopbop asked in the review sections for other pairs if they could, Shopbop never replied to their queries.
Anyway I received 2 emails back.
Shopbop said NO and Elizabeth and James said YES. 
Being the kind customer I am I emailed Shopbop back to say they were wrong and suggested that maybe they update their website to let customers know they can put their prescription lenses in.
... they still haven't.

Bad form Shopbop, bad form.

On the plus side I only had to pay $30 for the lenses because my health insurance covered the rest, yayayayayayayayaaaaa.


Do you wear glasses? 
Where do you get your frames from and how often do you change them?

  1. I LOVE THEM THEY ARE SO COOL!

    I have glasses. I'm short sighted and have astigmatism. (My brother is short sighted AND colour blind AND has astigmatism. Good times)

    I recently got new Ray Ban lenses and RB prescription sunnies and I love them. I've totally ditched contacts because glasses are way more fun.

    I'm getting these for my birthday in tortoise shell lookmatic.com/women/woody-901

  2. they are hot! I am short sighted and wear glasses and contacts every day - nerd alert!

    I have a gazillion pairs but my faves are my ray bans from opsm. I also won a voucher from Michelle's style file from clearly contacts and got a free pair of dior glasses. If you haven't shopped at clearly contacts before you can basically get a free pair!

    Wow, that was a long comment xxx

  7. Gorgeous glasses! You look fabulous. I've been wearing glasses since the 5th grade, going from frameless, to metal, to plastic, Armani and Gucci frames are my favourite. White frames are almost like my signature now haha.

  10. You look fantastic, they suit you so well!

    I need new glasses too, I'm hideously short-sighted but never like any of the frames in store, I think I might have to look at Shopbop now, this might motivate me to get updated lenses! xx
