Fashion. Music. Family. Life.
My son has tons of toys everywhere at home (and more have been added since Christmas). It’s a combination of my niece’s hand-me-down toys and brand new ones that they share, or that are distinctly their own. But no matter how many cool toys my son and niece have all around them, I find that it’s their imagination that drives the heart of their play (cardboard boxes make the best planes, trains, cars or boats). Hope you had a great weekend!
I was in that mode again to hunt for that perfect shoe that would satisfy all of my cravings for something new and fresh for my wardrobe. I’m falling in love with leopard again, and I found the shoe that literally made my heart skip a beat when I saw it. It’s called Jovanna by Matiko, and I purchased them from a new favorite shoe shopping site called Ashbury Skies (recently launched in 2011, based out of San Francisco). Immediately I fell for the all-over leopard print and wedged heel. But what I truly love is that it is asymmetrical, giving it a little bit of edge. Beware that this leopard will appear in quite a few outfit posts to come. Have a great weekend!

As you can tell by most of my pictures on this blog, I wear glasses. I had mixed feelings about wearing glasses when I was younger because I was partly excited to be able to see clearly, but not so excited to actually wear the glasses themselves. What I discovered after my first horribly lackluster pair is that I should start to think of them as an accessory. I upgraded my glasses to a pair of very cool burgundy frames and have been choosing prescription glasses over contacts ever since.
In my quest to find fashionable frames, I realized that many of the styles I was looking at cost the same as a high-end purse or pair of shoes. If I decided to buy glasses at a more affordable price, then I sacrifice the style that I want. Glasses seemed like more function than form, so I ditched the possibility of getting more than one pair and would just be resigned to the fact that I could only really update the style of my glasses after my regular check ups.
This all changed after I was recently introduced to GlassesUSA.com. I love the newest pair I have by Lucky Brand that I bought at Costco a few months ago. But as a fashion/lifestyle blogger, seeing so many fantastic frame styles on other bloggers made me want to coordinate new pairs with different outfits. GlassesUSA.com has a great selection at incredibly reasonable prices (110% lowest price guarantee), which could definitely make those accessory dreams come true!
Other than checking out all of the great styles, my absolute favorite part of the whole site was the virtual mirror. I spent literally two nights playing with this great feature. Rather than upload a picture, I chose to use my web-cam to take a current picture of myself. I then “tried on” practically every pair they had. Out of all of the choices, I settled on a great pair by iSee because of it’s retro style. The order was processed immediately after they received my prescription (sent by email). My glasses were delivered 5 days later in a handy, slim hard case with a lens cloth.
Here I am in my new specs (and new haircut)! What do you think? If you would like a pair (or two, or three) for your own, GlassesUSA.com is offering readers of Any Second Now a couple of discounts, in addition to their fantastic regular offers. Check them out below and happy shopping!
