Product Review - Firmoo Glasses

"Firmoo.com is the world's most popular online eyeglasses store. Years of expertise in optical industry enable Firmoo.com to offer varieties of prescription eyewear to the consuming public in high quality yet at extremely affordable prices."

I was contacted by Firmoo asking if I wanted to review a pair of glasses/sunglasses of my choice. I thought this was an excellent opportunity for me and my blog, also I recently broke my sunglasses so I've been hunting for a new pair. I've been wanting a pair of circular sunnies, think John Lennon / Harry Potter style, though not sure how they'd suit me, so I accepted Firmoo's kind offer and ordered myself a pair of these in black. 

Delivery was super fast, and they came with a proper glasses case and mini screwdriver with extra screws, so hopefully these glasses will last me ages (or at least till the end of next summer!)

I don't often wear glasses, besides sunglasses, so I decided not to go for normal (non-prescription) glasses, instead I went for some exciting new sunnies. I usually stick to accessories with a small price label but these were priced at $42 (£26.40) and definitely look more pricey and are such good quality, I promise I'm going to take special care of them. When I received the glasses in the post, the circular lenses were a bit larger than I expected, but rather they were too big than too small. Luckily, I think they suit me quite nicely, they definitely make an outfit look that little bit more exciting. I'm hoping the sun will come out more often so that I can wear them all the time! Here's photos of me wearing the glasses, and some different ways to style them.

D.I.Y Dress

Over the summer, I wanted to make myself a dress. I'd made dresses before for school, but I really wanted to make a quick and casual day dress that didn't require any market research and initial designs and so, and after putting it off for so long, I came across a DIY post on someone's blog and it was the motivation I needed. I spent way too long in the fabric shop debating over which fabrics to choose, but I settled for something cheap and simple just in case the dress didn't work out.


Making the actual dress, I followed the tutorial by The Pineneedle Collective who used simple steps that were easy to follow. I bought a pattern for the top half of the dress but I followed Annika's equations for the skirt (which I messed up a little).

This photo explains the basics of the skirt, unfortunately the material I bought wasn't very long width-ways so I ended up with quite a short skirt. Also, hemming anything curved is such a pain!
I like to wear a belt with my dress because the seam doesn't quite sit on my waist, and I also prefer it with a belt anyway. With the leftover red fabric I made a matching detachable collar.
