You can really tell when you get a quality product. But I use contact lenses and then don't have to worry about getting prespriction glasses. That way I can always get the really georgous looking designer glasses at the mall. After years of buying no name glasses, I went totally brand last year.

They're gorgeous! I have to wear glasses - only for at the pc - but don't wear them as much as I probably should... :) Mochi is adorable, I have never once seen a non-cute picture of her! Plus I've never really been a brandwhore...there are specific stores i will stick to, such as Topshop but I've also found the most amazing bootleg jeans at the supermarket I work at! Never thought I'd see the day. :) Oh and I WILL be starting up my own blog..I shall let you know as soon as I have it up. :) Oooooh are those the glasses in the picture? They’re gorgeous!

Not to mention Korean BBQ, their ramen and bibimbab (the one where they put lots of vegetables, a raw egg and rice into a hot stone pot). Mmhmmm! Haha, I had such a good laugh reading this line:

Can you still see clearly without glasses/contacts? Mine's pretty high, so I don't bother with prescription sunglasses, but it would be convenient cause contacts can hurt sometimes.

They look really sweet! I have never been a brand whore! If it fits looks nice and is relatively decent price I buy it! I think the most money I spent on a pair of jeans was like 50$ they were originally like $120 and I bought them on sale. Nice glasses! They look really sweet! I have never been a brand whore!

Luckily I knew the area, but one contact is no fun. How do you not like spicy?? I LOVE spicy!! We bought Rufio the small sweater but I had to snip the arm holes to make them bigger actually. He wore it no problem at first but now when I put it on he pulls at it. Grrr! I hope he outgrows it - in clothes, he's almost too cute to handle! Which is good, because otherwise he is so frustrating sometimes. I just had to drive home from a boyfriend’s house a long time ago. Luckily I knew the area, but one contact is no fun.

I would get so depressed if my contacts were to pop out when I'm out. Omg every dish we got at the Korean restaurant was SUPER spicy (except for the pancake and the Jab Chae) and the guys were like all dying because they just HAD to finish everything. It was funny because they were all sweating and red (which is kinda gross too)! I just ate a lil bit of that and stuck with the non-spicy stuff mostly because I don't do the heat. I want to get Mochi more clothes too but I never had the time and don't even know what size she is so my mom buys all the clothes. =P Wow how do you drive with one contact?

That's awesome that they were fully covered. I actually hate wearing them because I can never find any that don't slip off my face -_- but then again, I haven't really looked lol. To answer your question, I'm not a brand whore by any means. Hell, most of the bags I carry are from Target! I really don't see the point in paying for a stupid label other than bragging in a recession *rolls eyes* Like, why spend $80 on one shirt when you can get 4 for $20 each? Lol. Like I tell everyone, it's not being cheap, it's being thrifty. ;) Cute sunglasses! That’s awesome that they were fully covered.

Some stuff is worth the money though, and I guess my wife as rubbed off a bit on me because I will buy the occasional brand-named thing these days. For example I have some pants and shirts from DKNY (bought all at outlet sells however). They tend to fit me well and hold up better than the cheap stuff. I almost never go shopping still though. Maybe once a year at best for clothes. I used to be the exact opposite, only buying the cheapest — I avoided all brands just on concept.

I agree, all my glasses and sunglasses are brand name just because they look nicer and they're not that expensive compared to like a Chanel purse or something. Otherwise, I don't care too much for brand for other apparel and accessories. I saw reallyy hot Dior sunglasses at Nordstrom on sale for $110 too. I need to go to the states soon.
