Fashion Glasses Online!


My local resource for my glasses closed recently so I decided to go online to look for a new place with a large variety to choose from. I wound up at eyeglasses.com where I had a tough time picking out some fashion friendly frames from among all their options.

My first attraction was to the Kate Spade glasses where there were a lot of trendy frames that appealed to me. I almost picked out a pair but decided to keep looking to see if there were any additional designers that I found appealing.

I also took a look at the Dolce and Gabbana glasses because that designer was not available at the previous local store where I shopped. There was a very large selection and luckily the site loaded quickly so that I didn't have to sit and wait for the pictures of each pair. I also perused the Gucci glasses just for fun before settling on a pair of the original Kate Spades.

The website was easy to use and also sells sunglasses so as the weather starts to warm up again I'll be making another visit to eyeglasses.com to pick myself up something for the summer months.

Photo Books

It is pretty common these days to use online photo sharing sites. In fact, most of my family no longer prints photos on a regular basis. The disadvantage to this is that you don't have a book sitting around that others (or you - if you're the nostalgic type) can flip through on a whim. The upshot is that you don't have photos falling out all over the place and no longer have to deal with those annoying "sticky pages" that used to be all the rage in photo albums.

The best of both worlds for our house has become printed photo books. It is very easy to upload your digital photos and to order a print copy. Sure, you can buy some blanks and print them yourself if you have a photo printer but the options available for ordering one are amazing. I get one once a year with our family photos and have it bound in leather so it's nice to have sitting around.

The kids love it and I don't have to worry about the photos falling out or getting lost. So far I've had great results with My Publisher so I'd recommend them in a second. Whoever you try out the software should be easy to use and it's actually a fun project. Let me know how it goes!
