I recently teamed up with Firmoo, an online
glasses company where you can find hundreds of different types of glasses
and your perfect pair (including sunglasses).
I got to pick out a new pair and the specs I chose are different from any that I own, and that was the
point; I wanted to push myself to try something different. They are a bit
large, dark chocolate plastic frames, and kind of nerdy (which I secretly kind of
love).
They got my prescription right and something I love
about these (in comparison to other glasses I have) is that since the lenses are larger, it makes watching movies easier without having to move my
head around to ensure I'm seeing through the lenses or nudge them down on my nose (near-sighted peeps will know what I'm talking about it).

Outfit Deets:
* Gap cardigan (old).
* Joe Fresh blouse (old) and seen before with skinny jeans.
* Dynamite skirt which I wore two years ago with turquoise silk and the same belt.
* Kelsi Dagger 'Genelle' wedges (new!) which I just picked up at Winners for half the price they are on the KD website (score!). Am loving heels with lower heels lately (since I have enough of 4inch+) and these fit the bill perfectly.
* Accessories: Joe Fresh belt, Guess & F21 bangles
Some of you know I wear glasses,
and while my prescription isn't very strong, it's existent, just ask
the people at GlassesUSA.com! They kindly let me pick out a pair of eyeglasses which is so exciting because I've been wanting to buy glasses but didn't want to fork out the cash (I know, I know).
I picked out a pair of plastic frame prescription glasses by Reece called the Jakob. While I normally tend toward metal frames (here's a post where I'm wearing my metal framed glasses) I have been itching for a pair of plastics and this was the perfect opportunity to find some.
The website offers a virtual mirror to try glasses on, but since I
didn't have a Flash player I simply used the measurements from a pair of
glasses I already owned to determine what size would fit my face.
Now, I know this is a review, and I know I got a pair of free glasses, but, I have to mention their customer service. First know that they did not ask me to discuss this and they are all my own opinions. I'm not one of those bloggers who is going to say wonderful things about a company I'm not happy with. This is brutal honesty.

From day
one, they were very helpful and I was impressed with how quickly my
questions were answered via email. When I finally placed my order (I
himmed-and-hawed for a good three weeks on which pair to purchase) they
sent me a tracking number within a day or so. From there, my glasses
arrived within four days. Four. Days. Shocking, especially since it
seems they outsource their production to Europe and I'm in Canada. The
glasses arrived in a small box with a case and a cleaning cloth, brand
spankin' new. I can honestly say I love them.

And one from Instagram the day I received my new glasses...
I'm in the market for a new pair of glasses. Currently I have these but found the above last week and can't stop thinking about them. I snapped a quick pic so you could all weigh in. I've never had plastic frames before because they're hard to find to fit my face. So, ladies, help a sistah out: are these glasses the ones?
What do you have planned for the weekend? Tonight I am getting together with seven other girls for dinner downtown at a hot spot. Tomorrow, I plan to sleep in and get some laundry done (those baskets are overflowing) and then heading to a birthday party in the evening. Sunday, of course, is Mothers' Day and my sister and I are hosting a brunch at her place for our mom. Jam packed, just the way I like it. Have a great weekend!
Here are some fun links from around the web:

* Sometimes you just need a good laugh.
* Oh yeah, I joined Pinterest.

Say hello to my new (wardrobe) BFF: this (p)leather jacket that I just picked up the other day. When I saw it, it was a no brainer and I had to snatch it up. This is the first time I've worn it and I love it. I can just see myself pairing it with my incoming favourite fall colour (olive), skinny jeans, flowy dresses and more (thankyouverymuch).
