Four eyes are better than two

Happy Friday, Peeps! I know you're all freezing your rears off- even my fellow southern folk. So let's take a second to ignore the cold and talk about something interesting to anyone who reads this blog (I hope..): ME.


Many people don't know that I wear glasses- and have since I was 12. I am basically blind without them. When I first got them, I had this epiphany: there were LEAVES on trees and not just giant blobs of green. I can't legally drive without corrective lenses of some kind, and I also can't see more than five feet in front of me. So in case you haven't gotten the point yet- I have pretty bad eyesight. Thanks, Mom :).


Obviously as someone into fashion, I can't just have one pair of glasses. I have an entire bin of sunglasses and eyeglasses, and I am not one bit ashamed. For the most part, I skip designer shades because I spill things in my purse on a weekly basis- water bottles, diet coke, medications, tacos. AND as someone who loves a deal, everyone knows the best place to order glasses is online. 


Enter: GlassesUSA.com. This online eyeglasses site gives you the option to order prescription, non-prescription regular AND sunglasses in the simplest way possible. You can search by designer, by frame type (wayfarer, anyone?).  The lenses and frames are high quality AND they offer a 110% lowest price guarantee. You literally can't beat that. 

Even Minou is into fashionable lenses. 

My absolute favorite pair on the site right now are the Academy Tortoise- and a complete STEAL at $58 WITH lenses. That's basically free.99. And because GlassesUSA.com is completely awesome, they're offering Jort Report Readers a discount. Enter the code FS15 for 15% off your first purchase AND free shipping! Like you needed an excuse. 


Finally, if you're worried that the pair you flatter your stylin' self- have no fear. There is an AWESOME virtual mirror option where you can "try on" different frames and styles to your leisure. Seriously, why would anyone even bother going to a brick and mortar store, at this point? Hurry your tush over and get yourself some new frames, stat!

  1. Ummm... why do you look so incredibly cute in those tortoise shell frames! Gorgeous. I'm going to do some research and give this place a try. I actually have vision insurance and may use that to get my contacts for the year... but this site you're talking about would be GREAT for frames. And don't be mad if I jack the tortoise shells lol. I have a pair now that are tortoise shell and I'm obsessed with them... but I only have one pair and when my dog knocked them over the other day I almost had a panic attack lol.

    In the meantime I've been eyeing these beauties. Black is my favorite color and I think my aura is Gold. A win/win lol:

    1. Those are SO you! I love them! Do you still have those Kate Spade ones? They were adorable. The ones I'm wearing in the picture are Oliver Peoples Wacks, so feel free to hunt them down. I get so many compliments on them :)

    2. Yep! I'm still going strong with my Kate Spade frames. I do, however, want to get the gold ones so I can spice it up a bit.
