ClearlyContacts.ca #DerekCardigan Review & Giveaway


Now you see it.  Now you don't.

That's basically how I see the world without my glasses/contacts.  Everything is a blur until I put my "second" eyes on.  So in order to correct my vision, I depend heavily on contacts during the day and glasses at nighttime.

And who said glasses should be a drag?  Have you seen the newest eyewear trends out there?  If not, you're missing out!  Colourful arms, keyhole detailing and dramatic patterns are popular among celebrities such as Ryan Gosling and Johnny Depp.  Even statement frames are adapting to the 2013 trends with rectangular and square shapes to perfectly frame your face.

Colourful Arms
Joseph Marc 4083 Havana


Statement Frames
7 For All Mankind 717 Dark Tortoise

My favourite eyewear trend for 2013 is the cat eye design.  I love how it adds instant character, style and creates a different look to my everyday image.  When Baby Z first laid eyes on my new frames, it was almost as if she didn't recognize me at first and had to do a triple take!  All cuteness aside, I do love my new Derek Cardigan frames, which are exclusive to ClearlyContacts.ca, and are part of their new Grammar Collection.

Derek Cardigan 7019 Dark Timber

The only set-back I had with my new glasses was that the arms fit quite tight around the side of my face and behind my ears.  It could be the shape of my face or the arms may have to be loosened a little, but I do only wear them at nighttime so I can bear with it.

If you're having trouble deciding which frames are the perfect fit for you, ClearlyContacts.ca makes it easy for you - simply upload a photo of yourself and "try" on the frames with their "Try On View" option.

  1. I'm not really big into any eyewear trend. I actually have had the same style frames for over 5 years now. I think it's time for a change!

  2. I like the Statement frame trend. I like how it frames the face and adds a touch of personal style to an outfit.

  3. I'm in the market for some new eyewear and have been leaning towards choosing a statement frame. Perfect timing. I think I might enjoy a pop of colour on the side arms.

  5. I actually have no idea about the eyewear trends. I've had the same pair for 10 years and they definitely could use ANY reboot!

  10. I like how frames are made more as a fashion accessory now rather than years ago when there were few choices and they were just something you had to wear. There are so many colours and shapes and now they are also more reasonably priced so you can afford a few pair.
