Sun at the Sacré Coeur

As most you of probably already know I was in Paris this past week and it was the perfect opportunity to try out my new pair of sunglasses graciously provided to me by Firmoo. I chose a pair of Black framed RX sunglasses with gold detail on the sides. They are not currently available on the Firmoo website but I will link them as soon as they are available again. They were $40 which works out at approximately €31 or £25.

I really love these sunglasses, they are big enough to protect your eyes from the sun during those really sunny days in the Summer. The case they came in is not as sturdy as the one that my previous ones came in, but I do like to buy my own cases for my sunglasses anyway, I have a leopard print case that I tend to use most of the time for my bigger sunglasses because it's easy to spot (pun not intended!) in my bag.  Like with the previous pair, this pair came with a cloth to clean the lenses and a little contraption to tighten the screws. It's $15.75 for express courier shipping to the UK and Ireland which works out at €12/ £10. 

What's really great about Firmoo is they offer a free pair of glasses/sunglasses for first time buyers and all you do is pay for shipping. This is such a great offer especially coming up to Christmas if you're looking for gift ideas. You can find a list of countries they ship to here. 

Check out their Facebook for regular updates and photos from customers.

And Winter Was Coming But That Was Alright

We took these photos on the way to the cinema to see Ruby Sparks on Saturday with some friends. I really enjoyed the film, Paul Dano is very funny and Zoe Kazan is very pretty.

I rediscovered my Rimmel Heartbreaker lipstick last week and wore it in work everyday but one. I bought it when I saw Zooey Deschanel wearing it in the campaign photos she was in about 2 years ago and forgot about it for a long time. It's such a gorgeous shade of pink that's deep enough to wear in Autumn/Winter. I got the bag and shoes recently enough and love both of them. I had been wanting these Clarks brogues for about 3 months and finally caved and bought them last month. They are so comfortable and the come in about 4 other colours including a green tweed pair! The Zara bag is a really great day to night bag because it's big enough for me to fit in all my essentials. It's also a great price at €29.95. 

We watched another film on Saturday called Safety Not Guaranteed. Mark Duplass and Aubrey Plaza are in it and I highly recommend it, it's so cute and funny and original. How was your weekend?

Firmoo Eyewear

I was recently contacted by a company called Firmoo who offer high quality, inexpensive prescription and non-prescription eye-wear and asked to take a look at their site and choose a pair of sunglasses to review. 

I hadn't heard of the company before so I did my research and I was happy to see that they not only offer international shipping to a huge range of countries, but shipping is free if your order total is over $39. They also offer a great service that entitles every new customer to a free pair of glasses. You can read more about the free glasses here. 

Firmoo aspires to provide "Vision and Fashion the Frugal Way", which the way things are now should be the way more companies are thinking if they want to encourage sales and is why the free glasses for first time buyers is such a good idea. Everyone is looking for good quality at the lowest price available and their frames start at under $10, you can also play around with trying the glasses on virtually by uploading a photo of yourself to see whether they would suit you or not as I know it's tough when you're buying online to know if you'll like something if you can't try it on first.

Here are the sunglasses I chose; 

The sunglasses arrived 6 working days after I placed my order which is very fast for international delivery. Shipping to Ireland and the UK is a flat fee of $15.75 (€12/£9.70 approx.) which is an express courier service so you know your item is secure as you can keep track of it and you have to sign for it upon arrival. As you can see above they come in a hard, sturdy case with a cute map of Canada on it. You also get replacement screws and other bits to keep your glasses in working order. 

I chose these round ones because I don't own anything like them and I wanted to try something a bit different. I am honestly so impressed by the quality and feel of these. I wasn't too sure about them when I chose them but once I put them on I was totally enamoured! I've been wearing them every day since I got them. They retail at $42 (€32/ £25) which for the quality is such a great price. They also come in black but unfortunately I can't see them on the website anymore. I'd love to see more styles of sunglasses on their site as they don't have a huge selection at the moment but I'll definitely by recommending Firmoo to anyone I know who is in the market for some prescription frames. 

They also have a Facebook page where you can find out the latest news from them. 

Would you buy glasses online or have you before? I'd love to know what you think!
