 When Firmoo.com contacted me a few weeks ago asking if I'd like to review a pair of their glasses, I may have gotten super excited. I'd heard good things about them via other bloggers. Plus, I needed a pair of glasses for my mission! What fancy timing!

Anyway, I chose my pair and submitted the order. I figured it might take a while for them to process and ship my glasses - I was actually a little worried they wouldn't come until after I left! Not to worry though, regardless of shipping from China, my order was processed, shipped, and delivered within ten days! I was super impressed.

Holy cow, guys, I love these glasses. They were delivered last Thursday and I've scarcely taken them off since I opened the package. I love RayBan Wayfarers, but I certainly cannot afford them - these frames are such a fantastic alternative! You can find them here.






Firmoo would like everyone to know that glasses are not only for people with vision problems anymore! Glasses are becoming a big fashion trend, and are a must-have accessory - they can instantly upgrade your style. That said, Firmoo offers both prescription (like mine) and non-prescription lenses, as well as the latest trends in frames (like my Wayfarer-style frames here), for glasses, sunglasses, and goggles.

Want to change up your style a little bit, or need/want a new pair of glasses like I did? Firmoo will make it easy for you! They have launched their First-Pair-Free program to people worldwide, which is exactly what it sounds like - you pay nothing except shipping! With their wide selection of high quality frames, numerous options for lenses, and fashionable designs, as well as their impeccable service and fast delivery, I am quite certain you will not be disappointed. It's totally risk-free - give it a try, hm? They've made a believer out of me... That's for sure! I know where to go for replacement glasses in the future!

Oh. Just found this in my drafts. I thought I posted it last week... Well, here!

Umm... First, sorry about that downer post. I was in a bad place. But really, I'm not sorry. I needed to document it. Just don't take any of the down-ing to heart.

Now for happy things! Woot!

So it is no secret that I love me some fashion blogs. 

I mean, there are a bunch chillin' on my blogger list over yonder on my sidebar!

The point here is that usually, I just follow fashion bloggers for their impeccable taste in fashion, and often their senses of humor and great writing. Sometimes, though, there are these little bonus surprises that make me love them even more!

Case in point -

Kendi made a Radiohead reference! Whaaaat? I won't lie, I got really excited when I saw it... And then I left her a comment about how much I loved it... Anyway.

Clever.

awkward and awesome time

As I have had minimal motivation to do anything this week, including make a list of happy things when I just wanted to be the angsty teenager that I'm supposed to be, Marvelous Monday did not happen.

HOWEVER, there is a way to fix this situation.

At The Daybook, the lovely Sydney does Awkward and Awesome Thursdays every week.

Seeing as this week involved plenty of awkward, but also lots of awesome, I decided it would be a good week to try it out for myself. :)

Awkward:

-That moment when the girl you and your roommates have been laughing at as you watch her wave her arms around in her living room from your own living room sees you. And then decides that, after hiding behind the wall because she's embarrassed, she'll pretend to flash you. Twice.

-The zipper on my lovely electric blue skinnies that just doesn't understand what "stay up" means.

-The hazelnut that my neighbor boy managed to accidentally bounce off of my hand and down my shirt.

-Walking out of my friends' residence hall and realizing that my bike was not longer where I had left it.

-Eating delicious Salvadorian food on an empty stomach. Then being doubled over in pain for a few hours.

-Having a cold. Just kind of in general.

-Forgetting my laptop charger when I went to the library with my roommate, Lauren, rendering me unable to finish my essay at the library, after walking there. Oops.

-The whiff of manure that one can smell at pretty much any point on campus when the wind blows just right.

-Irrational-woman syndrome. 'Nuff said.

-Playing Super Smash Brothers after years and years against boys who play regularly

Awesome:

-Finishing Music Theory homework a week early!

-"Educational" videos from the fifties that promoted conformity and made me laugh myself to sleep when I was taken down by the nasty cold monster over the weekend.

-Coldplay's new album, "Mylo Xyloto," that came out this week (I pre-ordered over a month ago), which I've been listening to on repeat, almost non-stop.

-Napping in-between classes.

-The nights when roommates make dinner for the whole apartment and it's amazing.

-Free food, and discovering that there are hazelnuts that grow on campus.

-Haunted houses, and boys who put their arm around you at such places.

-Having a cold room at night so that I can snuggle up in my blankets and sleep all cozy and warm.

-Remembering that I really wanted to write poetry. At a time that I actually had time to write some.

-Getting the best email ever from my best friend ever, and feeling on top of the world because she listed things that were awesome about me. Be jealous - she's my best friend.

I feel like that was rather satisfying. Look forward to another occurrence of this sort if I miss another Marvelous Monday!

Cotton&Curls Custom giveaway!

The lovely Lizzie over at Cotton&Curls is doing a giveaway! She is super talented with the whole sewing deal, and will make a lovely item of your choice if you win! You can find that here. :)
I also recommend following her if you are into fashion blogging like I am. She's incredible, and has given me some fantastic refashioning ideas, which will be super handy what with the whole "I'm a poor college student; I've got to make do with what I have" idea. :) She's great!
