Look at these leather cases! FANCY
Terrible pun. But it is true. After a week of waiting (which isn’t very long) and some phone calls with some nice Northern opticians to discuss my severe astigmatism, I got an email on Friday saying they were shipped. I felt like Joey when Alicia May Emory came back in stock.
As much as I love my Ray Bans, the prescription on them hasn’t been changed in ages. Mainly due to the fact I also have another pair of kick-ass frames I bought in New York and was going to get lenses in, but the lens prices are extortionate to fit in the new pair, or refit my old ones. It costs more to refit lenses to an old pair than it is to buy a complete pair?? (Annoyance) Gloomily, I have them to one side until I can find somewhere reasonably priced to fit the lenses.
When London Retro offered me a voucher for a free pair of specs from Glasses Direct I was pretty chuffed. Espesh because Glasses Direct were also running 2 for 1, so I got 2 pairs, free to add to my collection of opticals. However, in all truthfulness, I’m pretty impressed by the quality and finish. All named after places in London, the frames are all £99 and lenses start from £5. That is a bargainous bargain. The costs are kept down by selling online, rather than on the high street.
From L-R: Soho (They make me look like Roz from Monsters Inc lolol); and Fitzrovia. Topless David Gandy makes an excellent backdrop.
I’m not retiring my Wayfarers yet, but for the sake of my eye health (and also cos they’re quite nice) I’ll be wearing these more regularly.
