Archive for the ‘Blogger reviews’ category

It’s funny how after living in a city for a few years, you think you know most of its places and little corners – after all when you’re a blogger you’re pretty much always in the haunt for a nice new location – but sometimes it can surprise you with something as unexpected as a beautiful, colorful wall in the center of the city. I’ve been passing near this wall for a long time but never gave it much attention. As soon as I did though I’ve felt in love – seriously how amazing is it?! I’m usually not a big fan of graffiti and things like that but I got to say, sometimes it’s real art!
I’m currently in my hometown for the Easter holidays, Easter in Greece is on the 12th so I’m going to spend the next ten days here before going back to Volos. Those who have already celebrated it, I hope you had a lovely Easter and enjoy the rest of your holiday!


Είναι αστείο το πως όταν μένεις σε μια πόλη για μερικά χρόνια, νομίζεις ότι πάνω κάτω ξέρεις τα περισσότερα μέρη και σημεία της – εξάλλου όταν είσαι blogger είσαι πάντα σε αναζήτηση μιας νέας όμορφης τοποθεσίας – αλλά μερικές φορές μπορεί να σε εκπλήξει με κάτι τόσο αναπάντεχο όσο ένας υπέροχος, χρωματιστός τοίχος στο κέντρο της πόλης. Περνούσα κοντά σ’αυτόν τον τοίχο εδώ και πολύ καιρό αλλά ποτέ δεν του έδωσα σημασία. Μόλις το έκανα όμως τον λάτρεψα – δεν είναι πανέμορφος;! Συνήθως δεν είμαι και πολύ φαν των γκράφιτι και όλων αυτών αλλά μερικές φορές ομολογουμένως είναι πραγματική τέχνη!
Είμαι τώρα στο χωριό μου για το Πάσχα και θα περάσω τις επόμενες δέκα μέρες περίπου εδώ προτού επιστρέψω πίσω στον Βόλο. Ελπίζω να περνάτε ωραία τις διακοπές σας, φιλιά!

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Firmoo.com and asked to try out their eyeglasses. I was super stoked. I needed a new pair of glasses anyway, and once I headed to their website, I knew I would find a pair that would look awesome on me.

The website it super cool. If you create a login you can actually upload a picture and see what the different frames look like on your face. If you don’t feel like going through all of that, they have different pictures of various face shapes so you can get the general idea. Not only that, but once you get your frames, you can take a picture and upload it to the site so potential buyers can check them out that way, too.

After searching around for a while I narrowed it down to three pairs. They had so many options I had no idea where to start, but I loved the way you could see the frames on your face by uploading the picture. Ultimately, however, I chose the pair I chose based on the previous customers photos. I loved that feature!! You can really tell what the frames look like on various face shapes in “real life” photos. Definitely my favorite part of this choosing process.

During the order process you have to fill out your prescription information. I decided to go with the non prescription frames even though I needed new glasses, but only because I know my prescription is going to change in my next visit and I didn’t want to purchase something I wouldn’t wear.

I’m super happy with the frames I chose. They are cute and trendy and fit my face great! Thanks to those customer photos I could find a face shape that was close to mine and see what they would really look like!!

I’ve worn glasses since I was in the 6th grade. I have had every sort of dorky glasses known to man. Not once have I ever thought, “If I didn’t need glasses, I’d still want to wear them.”  Not. Once.

But my girl? That’s a whole different story … she doesn’t need glasses.  She can see perfectly. But, it appears we all want what we can’t have. And so, when Firmoo offered me a pair of glasses to review, I knew this was just the opportunity for me to give my girl a little something fun.

Who knew glasses could be such a fabulous accessory? She loves this bookish style which is apparently all the rage in the hipster circles.  {And now is where I admit I am not entirely sure what it means to be hipster but apparently since my girl got a Crosley record player for Christmas and has her own vinyl collection she is firmly in the hipster camp.}

{Also, please forgive the blurry iPhone photos  with the bad lighting. This is what morning is like in our house.}

Isn’t she adorable? She, like her momma, has a bit of a cardi addiction and we love the ones from Old Navy because we can get all the colors and then share!

How about that Patagonia vest with the chambray shirt? I love it … and it is soooo soft.  And of course, we’re still wearing our Freeset tees we got for Easter last year.  Casiday paired hers with a long cardi she grabbed from my closet on one of our many snow days in the past few weeks. Cozy and warm for a day at home.

The Firmoo glasses are very high quality. I have to admit, I was a little surprised by this since they are so inexpensive. They come with a great case and cleaning cloth. If you are looking for a new pair of glasses or sunglasses, I recommend you check Firmoo out.  I’m looking at a couple of pairs for myself now.

And, since we’re talking fashion for teenage girls, here are a  few more accessories for teenage girls …

monogram necklace {a Southern Prep necessity!}

fun and bright watches

headband

Don’t forget, Stacey and I have a Pinterest board all about fashion for teenage girls!

Back when I started wearing glasses in the 6th grade, glasses were anything but fashionable. Although I am sure my big frames with a letter B on the lens were fashion forward at the time, today there are so many different options to fit every person and every lifestyle. And convenience? That has changed a lot too since then! Did you know that you can even order glasses online now?

I recently received a pair of glasses through Firmoo.com and the process was easy and painless. I was able to virtually try on all of their glasses which took the guess-work out of wondering which pair was perfect for me. Once I selected my glasses all I had left to do was enter in my prescription for the lenses. They shipped very quickly and even came with a hard case and a soft case, a lens cleaning cloth and a repair kit with a screwdriver and screws!

The glasses fit perfectly, the prescription strength is spot on and they seem to be of high quality! I would not hesitate to order from Firmoo again. If you are new to Firmoo, you can click here to get 50% off your first pair of glasses!

Tell me about your first pair of glasses!

I can’t be the only one that had some bad pairs!

Although its known for its wooden styles, Shwood eyewear introduces a range of acetate releases, via this new collaboration with Pendleton. This collection, released for Spring 2015, features new frames bearing Pendleton’s signature patterns are accompanied by a matching dust pouch.

True to my word, here’s the polka dot shirt again. This time with a purple sweater and my trusty riding boots. This may be one of my last posts with boots. It looks like our weather may be turning to spring this week and I couldn’t be happier! I’ll be slowly introducing spring clothing items into my outfits over the next few days – and I’m SO ready!

I went to Target this past week and actually walked out without purchasing a single clothing item. Weird. I find I’m much choosier now and it’s an odd feeling. I’m actually looking forward to pulling out my spring and summer clothes – it’ll be like a treasure hunt because I know there are pieces I underused last year. Fortunately I’m not a slave to fashion trends – I really want to be as frugal as possible and not overbuy just because there are so many cute new options out there.

My only weakness right now is shoes. Sandals, to be specific. I found some oh-so-cute new styles at DSW.com and have put them on my wish list (also added to my “Shoes” board on Pinterest!). I’ll be visiting my local DSW soon to try on some of the new sandals – and you can bet you’ll be the first to see any purchases!

You may have noticed I’m wearing new glasses today. I was recently contacted bywww.Firmoo.com to try their online store for glasses. I hesitated because of my difficult progressive lens prescription, but they offered me a nice discount, so I decided to give it a try. I have to say I’m pleased with my new glasses! They are lightweight, and the prescription is just right. You can take advantage of a great 50% discount for new glasses from Firmoo by following this link: http://www.firmoo.com/z/new-50-off.html. I won’t receive any remuneration from Firmoo for your purchase. I just wanted to pass along some savings on what can be an expensive purchase.

Today’s Outfit:

Merona polka dot shirt: Target
Mossimo purple sweater: Target
Jordache denim leggings: Walmart
Bandolino black riding boots: DSW
Eyeglasses: Firmoo

Have a lovely, healthy day!

Recently, I went in for an eye exam and found out that my prescription had slightly changed.  Not enough to warrant new glasses though.  So, I just kept wearing what I had.

Until Firmoo contacted me.

They wanted me to select a pair of frames to review which would also include my updated prescription!  Uhhh, YES PLEASE!

So I selected something different from what I currently had……….a bigger frame in a lighter color with some gold details. They arrived in a fun little case, and I loved how they looked……..

When I tried them on, they fit like a dream!  The prescription was perfect too………

I think glasses could be an addiction for me.  If they weren’t so expensive, I would order a bunch in different colors and styles!

That’s why I think Firmoo is great!  They offer sales all the time!  Right now they are offering new customers 50% off their first pair! Pretty darn good, if you ask me!

Now, who needs new spectacles?  Go take advantage of their new customer special!!!

First of all, wow this month has been busy! I cannot believe I haven’t blogged in almost a month, so sorry! I was in NYC for a week at the end of February, just got back from California yesterday and am now headed to NYC again in a few hours. But don’t worry, lots of pictures and outfits coming your way!!

Growing up I always wanted glasses; maybe it was because I thought I’d look smarter or because my dad wore them, but I wanted to jump on the glasses bandwagon. In high school I actually had to get them and they’ve remained an essential accessory in my everyday life. I have yet to switch to contacts because I just love collecting funky pairs of glasses, and that is why I was ecstatic when Firmoo reached out to me to collaborate. I have been on the hunt for a red pair of glasses – I have a black, a brown and a tortoise pair but needed some spice in my life. I chose these adorable red pair and love them! This was the first time I’ve ordered prescription glasses online and was extremely satisfied with the process; I was able to plug in my prescription info and even virtually try on the glasses. I hope you love these glasses as much as I do and I highly recommend trying Firmoo to order your next prescription (or funsies) glasses!
