That time again

You'll be pleased to know that I'm getting some new reading glasses. At least you should be as my highest and most frequently read post on this blog of mine is this one with 2,134 pageviews! Following that post was a massive post on my very important and super interesting decision making at the holy grail, Specsavers.

In case you're wondering I chose a pair from the Gok Wan range as they were the most modern designs there. They look like this and I still love them to this day:

So yes lets go on another adventure in search for perfect eye wear, from Specsavers! Meanwhile...

It was so misty this morning I had to take a photo of it on my Canon although it looks a lot like something instagram churns out. How I love the bottom left graffiti.

A little update on project boy zine. Theres a second issue launching whenever it's finished, which will be whenever. It's bohemian, deal with it. No it's going to be great, I hope you all enjoy viewing it. Speaking of boys vibe, feel free to submit image or text (pretty much anything you feel) you can email me on sammeh--@hotmail.com.

Back to the vision...

Not going to lie, I think I'm sticking with Gok. I'm feeling cat-eye.

GOK WAN 11 glasses
One thing I love about my current glasses is the colour, the only thing new about this design is the eye shape,  cat-eye, meowww.

S RED OR DEAD 79 glasses
I'm stuck for choice! These are by Red or Dead.

If this is the vibe they give off then I'm sold.

I've made the decision and cat-eye is my next venture. Here are some of the other lenses I really liked also by Gok Wan:

GOK WAN 55 glasses
These have a slightly wider lens, still cat like but not enough for me.

GOK WAN 54 glasses
Unfortunately hipsters all over the world have ruined this style of lens for me.


Gok Wan Exclusive for Specsavers


The 25th February was the unveiling of Gok Wans eye wear collection for Specsavers, and I got a sneak preview beforehand!

These are the pair I chose on the 23rd when I popped in for a eyetest because I felt like my eyes had changed. There was a beautiful MISSONI pair that I was set of straight away until the Head Merchandiser grabbed me to one side like a Market dealer in Abu Dhabi 'pssssst... they really suit you but let me show you a peek at Goks collection!' The lady was so lovely! She wasn't suppose to show them until the 25th but I got a preview! There are 30 styles overall and I'm pretty certain I tried them all one. There were two trays full!

With these glasses you really have to try them all on to see what works best for your face shape and skin tone. Also imagine how they will fit for your life style and personal style. I only need them for reading as my eyes are 'sensitive' (irony) so I chose the pair above because I will be whipping them out every now and again, so I want that double take from people. This pair also came in green. To view the collection click here.

MISSONI 39 glasses
This was the MISSONI pair that were so cute, but I figured, everyone has these glasses and I already have a clear pair set I wear for fun anyways!

A pick of some of the styles on offer, there are a million colours in the collection:

I was mega impressed with Gok Wans designed, theres a broad range of styles and colours fit for everyone. It was such a breath of fresh air in Specsavers I see this as the start of a new lease of creative design for eye wear on the highstreet. Theres nothing worse than picking out a new pair so to have Gok on the menu was a real treat! I can't wait to pick them up Tuesday!

Also has a blog as well as her official website, go follow now for all the fabulous behind the scenes at the Clothes Show Live! <3

blogggggger this just one of the photos on there!

Clothes Show 2010!!!!!!!


OMG I had the best of times at the Clothes Show I loved every minute of it! Jessica and I really enjoyed ourselves this year and had so much fun. I only had my Blackberry to take the most blurry photographs of the Show in world but if you follow me on twitter, @sammeh, I did a through running commentary as best as I could. I stopped posting what photos I took to the #clothesshow feed because I didn't want to spoil it for anyone going as we were at the first day!


Guess who!! It's Mark and Lauren on the runway from The Only Way is Essex!! Mark wasn't so ballsy on stage but I can assure you he's just as fit in real life. Laurens bum looked amazing in this dress, styled by Alexis Knox - @alexisknox


We had floor seats to see the show, second from the back but I figured a girls got to start somewhere, so many half naked male models running right past me I literally froze!

I will photo my luxuries I bought later but I must share them with you now! I bought loads this year the clothes have really upped their game because usually I buy one thing right at the very end just so I can go home with something! The little indian stores that are usually filled with the everyday market stall dresses were actually really cute this year, maybe its the whole vintage fluro vibe going to my head I don't know I'm talking one or two here in each stall which is still better than none! Saying so, I came away with the cutest black V cut lace dress which will look great against my pale completion and as it comes in at the waist, a lady's best part, also hiding my thighs, PERFECTTTTT. The final selling point for me was the v cut neckline because so many dresses are pulled in a the waist but cover both neck area and arms because their made for the busty lady which unfortunately I run low on stockage there, so I really love to show my décolletage :D


I bought a top up of Fake Bake lotion, the new Crakle BarryM nail polish which I couldn't help but overlay onto my Paradoxal Chanel there and then woowoo! It's amazing find it buy it now. Oh some new Henry Holland for Pretty Polly garter tights with the little house included as I put a hole in my other ones ): which they threw in some free Henry Holland socks that are grey, with imprinted gold chains which I'm wearing now :) AND thank you so much to my good friend Jessica who at this point had to lend me some money because I took a limited amount only for a reason and failed, I got to buy an amazing LA red and white American Jock jacket!!!!!!! It's the perfect style and I've wanted one from since I can remember, my mum says because of watching Buffy and loving Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2... but I have one now which I'll keep forever as it's faux leather sleeves so once worn in will look even better! You might think, is that all, but we also got our hair and face did at Lee Staford and Rimmel which was such an experience. @ Rimmel they even took a photo of us which I will scan in soon :) such a good day overall. I almost forgot, I also bought a pair of geek glasses and I don't care what I have said in the past I've wanted a pair for ages and I love them!

A blogger even stopped to give me one of her print outs to see if I wanted to be considered the face of her clothing range, I was immensely flattered because this has never happened before, common it may be it made me feel good about myself especially with my hair and make up I finally felt part of something, that something being stylish and urbanely on trend, (I wanted to say original but it's not but it is at the same time)


After! This you many note is called the current bun my friends, Jessica had the most adorable Fishtail plait. We we're addicted to red lippy allllll day


There was a very attractive model in the show with curly hair, think Justin Bobby/topless Parisian guy named Max Rogers @max_rogers
