four eyes

When I got glasses in year 8 I felt like the gawkiest loser and decided then and there that I'd never wear them. Until the lady working in SpecSavers told me to enter this 'SpecWearer' competition thing that would make me the face of SpecSavers or something, I still felt like a gawky loser so declined the offer which I regret because I could be brushing shoulders with famous people all from a glasses advert. 

But I digress, the point of this post isn't to brag about my almost-if-only glasses wearing career but to discuss the new trends of both sunglasses and your standard glasses. Both of these items I have strong views on as people are wearing clear lenses to rock the glasses look and others (like me) are unfortunate enough to have eyesight that needs work. I've been in denial about needing to wear glasses since I got them, my first pair were these lame rectangular tortoiseshell ones that my mum talked me into getting. But glasses are becoming more and more un-lame and trendy so I've decided to buy a new pair of glasses which not only will help me see but will also help me rock the new trends.

The Rayban-esque style is still here and everyone seems to love it, some faces just don't suit it though in glasses or sun glasses form. I'm more captivated by Marc Jacobs' range of eyewear which has me seeing stars. 

It's oh so fierce and oh so powerful that I'd feel oh so trendy in them. I love the cat eye sort of look that's appearing in both sunglasses and glasses alike but I feel like I don't have the face to pull it off. 
Which brings me to my next point, people really need to wear glasses that suit their faces! Just because a certain style is in fashion does not mean it will suit your face. If you have a roundish head, don't wear round glasses as you will just heighten the roundness of your head and it just would look silly. 


Note how her angular features are just pronounced and she looks phenomenal! But also, sunglasses. Sunglasses are my love, I love how they can hide dodgy makeup, protect your eyes from the sun, add depth to an outfit and make you look mysterious and all the more glamourous. Seriously, I'm such a huge advocate of sunglasses and should get more pairs but I have neither the time or money. 
Until I go to Phuket and stock up.
