When I was growing up, my mother always took me to good old Boots when I needed to get a new prescription and set of eyeglasses. And while the optometrist appointment itself was cheap at Boots, the glasses frames were always a hundred pounds still. And of course, every pair I got back in the nineties was incredibly geeky. I have grown up and stuck in the groove of what I am used to. I still go to Boots to get my glasses. They have gotten many more cute styles, but in my mind, glasses are still incredibly dorky, and so I avoid wearing them at all costs!
So when my friend came to work the other day with the most gorgeous pair of Chloe spectacles, it blew my mind! They were absolutely gorgeous in shades of plum and wine. They were modern and feminine and absolutely chic! I thought she must have paid way more than I would ever even consider paying, but then she told me there are countless online stores where you can get the frames for amazing prices.
So I looked online, and one site, theinternetglassescompany.co.uk had an amazing selection! Dior, Gucci and , Marc Jacobs. I did not know that Alexander McQueen was now designing eyeglasses, too! I have seen the promised land and I am not ever going back to Boots!
