    Bye Bye Four Eyes

    20140320-084208.jpg

    Today is the beginning of the end…kind of contradictory, but what I mean to say is today is the last day I will ever need to wear glasses or contacts because I am undergoing LASIK eye surgery!

    I first learned I had to wear glasses because I was near-sighted (meaning I can’t read things 5 feet in front of me, never understood why near-sided means the opposite of how it sounds and vice versa…but that’s another story) when I was in 2nd grade. I was devastated as any child would be when they learned they had to wear the dreaded ‘glasses’. Now while I wasn’t a fan of having to wear them, I was a fan of driving my mother crazy when it came to choosing frames year after year, because as a fashion lover at a young age…I was most certainly not wearing one pair of frames for the rest of my public school career. I went through tons of pairs till I ventured into my Junior/Senior year of high school (I graduated a year early, hence doubling up everything in one year).

    I began using contacts and was instantly thrilled and felt like a new person, however wearing them all day from school to work to play, they began to irritate my eyes and make me virtually blind as soon as 10pm rolled around. I dealt with it up till now but finally after tons of encouragement on how life changing the LASIK procedure is, I decided it was about time to ditch the dry eyes and dirty contacts covered in my eye liner and mascara for perfectly clear vision!

    I am beyond excited for my procedure today, but at the same time a bit nervous. As with any procedure there’s a slim chance that something can go wrong, so here’s to hoping I don’t end up blind 😉

    Wish Me Luck! 🙂

    Screen Shot 2014-03-18 at 9.55.47 AMThis week’s style is all about my ‘Geek Chic‘ glasses…because I can’t wear my usual contacts this week in preparation for my upcoming LASIK eye surgery!

    I’ve worn glasses since I was little, but ever since high school I have been wearing contacts, so this week the world will get to see me embracing my ‘4 eyes’ 😉 After years of searching I finally found a pair of glasses I truly love that actually suit me. They are fun, sophisticated, sexy and classy all at the same time…that’s a hard combination to find with any accessory, especially glasses!

    These frames are from Ralph Lauren, but check out some of my favorite ‘Geek Chic’ eyeglass choices below and shop them now! Whether you really need to wear glasses, or you simply want to be a sexy librarian for the day, these frames are perfect for any fashionista!
