Meow! I see you not.
My eyes are. 
I am not blind, but I might as well be. Ha ha. 
Okay, why am I sounding so grim about this when in truth I am not?
My vision has been malabo for as long as I can remember. As far back as high school?
My hobbies were all very damning to my eye sight, which included reading (mostly in the dark), learning to type on an old school typewriter, and cross stitching. 
Taking care of my eyes was just one of the many things that I took for granted as a teenager.
My mother got me a pair of prescriptions glasses in college. I lost them in a few months.
I didn't have the heart to ask her for new ones. 

Now, I broke my eyeglasses (again; twice for the past year). 
Impeccable timing, too.
I actually planned on getting new ones in Tacloban. Not happening. A taga-Burauen who traveled from Northern Samar and who passed through crucial parts of Samar. I'm sure they would shake. 😝
I thought about taking a jeepney to Catarman, with its skyrocketing fares. 
But I'm not sure if the optical clinics are open.
I didn't want to go home empty handed.

There is an optical clinic in my town tho that I have previously overlooked. 
Probably because it didn't look so appealing back then.
But the clinic has been recently repainted, the interior revived.
Why go far when you have one down the road?
They now have a digital eye examination equipment and the owner was very chatty and accommodating.
Some don't even bother. 

I just found out that my left eye is worse than my right. 
Left is -4.00, Right is -3.75.
I am nearsighted and again my friends, I can't stress this enough.
If you see me in public from a distance and I am not wearing my glasses,
don't expect recognition. 
I CAN'T SEE YOU.
Doctor said that I don't need to wear my exact grade because they would be too heavy on my eyes.
We tried different combos but settled on -3.50 for each eye.
unbreakable eyeglass frame, durable eyeglass frame
Fresh.
I splurged this time, with my husband's encouragement. I kept getting cheaper frames that easily break apart. 
Why not get something more durable?
Now, I got me a pair of eyeglass that I can literally flex. The lenses are blue light blockers too. But I didn't go all the way to get transitions....too expensive! 😆
I kept looking for a website for this brand, S7 ILUVU, so that I can find out more about it. 
There is no official site. All I know is that they are  ultra-light, screwless glasses made of polyamide66.
And they're uber cool.
How do I understand these icons? I can wear these while doing sports? Well, I don't do sports. It can withstand those temperatures? It's not like I'll boil or freeze them. Is that cross medical-related? And I can whack 'em with a hammer? Whoa.
I paid upward of six thousand grands for a new pair of glasses.
If you ask me about my hazard pay for reporting to work three times a week during Community Quarantine, you know where the money went.
And if that amount is not enough to remind me about being mindful of where I put these babies then I don't know what is.
I pray I don't loose them because they are really good. They're weightless. They don't hurt despite the all day wear.
They don't break, but I am not putting them to the test. The color and design is very simple. Very me. 
The good doctor stretched the glasses in front of me and I just stood there slack-jawed. Point taken, doc. 

I was broken, but now I am whole again. Maybe the wallet got broke(n) a bit but this is all worth it. 
These glasses are literally extensions of my body and I should take care of them too.
I see clearly now. I have learned my lesson.
With these fresh lenses everything seems brighter. (Even the future!)
Like deeyyyyymn. I feel like I can see through your soul.
And I wasn't squinting when I wrote this blog entry. 

I feel like a million dollars right now, baby.
XO,

If my memory serves me right, Zalora Philippines is probably one of the very first online shops that I have ever shopped on. Moreover, I have every reason to keep coming back. Making payments is hassle-free because they accept debit cards. Shipping is on them when your total purchase is more than Php 995.00. Lastly, they put discounts on certain items every once in a while so you just have to keep your eyes peeled! This time around, my Php 1, 016.00 certainly went a long way during my latest Zalora shopping spree! You read that right.  I was able to purchase four b-new items for a little over a thousand bucks. Good deal, ayt? :) Read on for more deets.


ZALORA Black Strappy High Heels
Price: Originally Php 1, 499.00 but I got it for Php 349.00
Infused with an undeniable air of city chic, these sleek heels from ZALORA are definitely ones to take note of. Slip these on to add a touch of elegance to your ensemble. 
- Synthetic suede upper 
- Synthetic insole 
- Synthetic outsole 
- Pin buckle fastening 
- Heel height: 10cm/3.93"

I've always wanted to have something like this in my capsule wardrobe. I know that it will never go out of style. This is something that I won't wear often - just for special occasions. I can't wait to mix and match these with dresses, pants and jeans. It could  use a little embellishment tho but I still love it. 


Something Borrowed Pointed Toe Metal Bow Flat in Taupe
Price: I Got It for Php 249.00, supper discounted too but I forgot about the original price.
What do I say? Nude flats are also a must in any girl's shoe collection. They're classic and the bows on this one will instantly upgrade those jeans.

Sunnies Studios Heather Sunglasses in Champagne with Caramel Gradient
Price: Php 399.00 but I got it for Php 119.70
Not the classic big dark shades, eh? But it was just over a hundred pesos so I couldn't resist grabbing it! :) And it's Sunnies; I absolutely adore Georgina Wilson and it's like getting a piece of her. 

Something Borrowed Small Flap Backpack in Dark Blue
Price: Php 299.00, I also forgot the original price :)
I finally have a backpack! I've always wanted to have one. Not the ones that will make me look like a mountain climber, just a dainty one that I can use at the mall, etc. Answered prayers!
***
So there it is. If you've been doing the Maths with me, like I said at the start of this blog post, I spent Php 1, 016.00 for these four items. Of course I was able to avail of the free shipping because it's more than Php 995.00. Tell me, did I get the good end of the deal?
Absolutely. :) Just so you know, even if these items are discounted, they are still in great and unused condition.

 Now, as promised, I have here a discount code which you can use for your first order at Zalora. 
*Disclaimer*
If you use this code, I will get an incentive from Zalora as a Brand Ambassador.

Happy shopping!

 XOXO,

Meet The Karlie!

I was beyond thrilled when this uberly adorable pair of sunnies arrived! I've been wanting to own one from Sunnies Studios and for a long time I've been scrolling through their equally adorable Facebook page to check out their collections. Unfortunately, they don't have a store in my area. But thanks to Zalora, I was able to grab one! :)
