How Sunglasses Help Me Blog ?


If you have a chance to visit my other personal platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and especially Instagram, you may be able to notice that most of my photos are the looks or outfits matched with sunglasses. Have you ever wondered why these pieces are the must have items of mine? 

If I were you, I would literally ask ‘why this girl always wear the sunnies in every photos? Why she usually conceal her face? Truth is, wearing sunglasses help me blog, while boosting my confidence up to level 99 when my eyes are so sensitive to the sunlight that I can’t even look straight. 

I did mention in the last year's post when I partnered with Firmooeyewear about my eyes’ condition. So, it has been years since I have worn the sunnies no matter where I go because my eyes feel much relieved. Somehow, I have been wearing these accessories since I was 19 years old when I lived in Florida, and we know that the heat in that state is really strong. Maybe I can call this behavior as an addictive…but I do love it since this addiction helps in preventing my eyes from being damaged by the UVA and UVB, the two dangerous factors are affecting on both our skins and eyes. Sometimes, I also think that wearing the sunglasses in every single photo makes me look like a mysterious person LOL it is like why I can’t just show followers or others how do I really look. Have you ever had this similar thought btw? 

I am not gonna lie but when I look at others' profiles on Instagram, I also wonder why they have to wear the sunglasses all the time? But then I look back at myself and realize 'yea I am one of them' lol.

I don’t feel confident when taking photos on the street or being surrounded by others tbh. I just don’t like when people look or stare at me, it makes me feel nervous. Therefore, another reason why I can’t let these items go is because it boosts my confident when taking photos. Some of you may know that I don’t really use make up (at all). I don’t even use the foundation, blemish or anything except the eye-liner (occasionally) because I am too lazy to remove it *laugh* That is why the eyewear can really help me in public.

Do You Really Need to Spend $$ for Being a Blogger? x Catseye London


Another look with Catseye London was finally shot! However, if you still remember the previous post featured this London based brand, this outfit's going to be totally different. 

I was wearing pink top with holographic skirt and Catseye London's pink bag, but this time I have chosen to be more street style. Frankly, I prefer to toy the products with wide variety looks so that they can be adapted to the reality. One bag doesn't mean one look, does it? I was going for sweet and girly style before and that's the reason why street style's my 2nd selection for this baby blue bag. 

Speaking of the fact that I got this crop top for $3 while I was randomly shopping in Bangkok, Thailand. I have never considered that being fashion blogger means only to use expensive products because the truth is those items will never boost up your look if they are not even matching with your style. Sometimes, I feel I shouldn't have spent the money on some products which were advertised on the media. Of course, they looked beautiful, however, I felt like wasting money when I came back home due to the fact that it didn't turn out perfectly like I had expected. So, do you really need to spend $$ for being a fashion blogger?

I always invest my money on brands only if the products are categorized as 'eyewear' It is very important to have the very high-quality for such goods because eyes can be very sensitive one. Therefore, one of my choices is 'Lespecs' eyewear. The price ranges of this French brand can be costly, but the quality deserves to get my money. 

Another question I often receive from people is 'where do you go shopping in Manchester?' To be honest, I don't have any specific places. I walk from shops to shops, and this habit is very time consuming because I am the picky one. Sometimes, I feel a bit moody when I walk back home with nothing lol Anyway, one of my favourite places is Primark. The products are really versatile which means you can go there and buy anything you want such as tops, jeans, gloves or whatsoever but my advice is you gotta pick the items carefully. Touch the fabric and see if it's worth to pay since people always come and go, so some products can be terribly displayed.

Interview with "Taylor Morris Eyewear"



Personally, sunglasses is more than just a toy, but an "art" itself. 

I have collected wide variety of photos taken with the lens, including photo shoots and brands' collaborations because I am just a sunnies lover. I've purchased a broad range of eyewears for many years and now there are approximately 20 pairs so far (so good). I bring them out from the shelf and take them out everywhere, so I can create some artistic photos anytime I want. From my experience in this industry, sunglasses is not just about a fashion trend but it is about #LifeThroughTheLens. Memories can be interpreted through the crystal clear lens yet life behind those photographs can be even more reminiscent. There always be a story behinds our own vision and perspective, isn't it?

"The one taken while I was on the way to Edinburgh"


From the passion in blogging to the sphere of eyewear industry, I had such a great opportunity to interview Hugo Taylor, co-founder of  "Taylor Morris Eyewear" Independent British design house which has become a leading brand known  for their distinguished designs with the highest quality materials. 


"The Taylor Morris mission was simple; provide their clients with the highest possible quality at the most competitive price as well as bringing back beauty, sophistication and individuality with a collection that will remain timeless and most importantly wearable over future decades" says Taylor Morris Eyewear


1)     Tell me a bit about Taylor Morris Eyewear, as well as, the designers' background

Taylor Morris is an Independent British brand established in 2013 by co-founders Hugo Taylor and Charlie Morris. Hugo and Charlie, having worked together in Marketing and Public Relations for large number of London’s top restaurant and nightlife establishments, turned their attention to their shared passion of high quality luxurious eyewear.

2)     What's the inspiration to design the sunglasses?

Hugo and Charlie were inspired in their debut collection to combine British sartorial elegance and timeless Hollywood glamour. Having trawled through numerous images of their favourite screen, stage and fashion icons such as Jack Nicholson, Bridgette Bardot, Audrey Hepburn and St McQueen, they looked to modernise the shapes and combine them with top quality materials sourced from only the most reputable suppliers. The acetate for example is from Mazzuchelli in Italy, a producer of the finest hand crafted acetate operating since 1851. Hugo and Charlie debut collection for Taylor Morris Eyewear is chic, stunning and purposely enduring, designed to transcend fashion trends and remain both beautiful and smart.

3)     What's the plan for future growth for Taylor Morris Eyewear?

Taylor Morris Eyewear having launched directly in Harvey Nichols plans to grow into a staple of British Design. The brands ambition is to be the leading UK eyewear supplier but also has future aspirations to diversify the product range into other high quality accessories.

4)     Who's the targeted customers of the brand?

Taylor Morris has a broad target customer. We have seen over the past months that our age and style of customer does not fit into an exact mould. We personally like to target customers who are enthusiastic about craft and design. We see a trend emerging that our customers are both discerning and sophisticated in their choice of brand. We fully understand at Taylor Morris that should you be covering the natural beauty of your eyes, then one must have the suitable pair of glasses to do so. We have a strong following in the UK, a fact illustrated by the high number of globally recognised British stars who have been wearing them, including Cara Delevinge, Rita Ora, Suki Waterhouse, James Blunt, Jamie Campbell Bower and Nicole Scherzinger.

My New Partner x "Firmoo" Eyewear


Apart from clothes and accessories, I am also a big "sunglasses collector" especially those classic designed with vintage look. Wearing sunglasses is what I do whenever I step my feet outside the house. No matter how the weather will be, "sunnies" is one of the items which I always put in my bag since my eyes are quite sensitive to sunlight. Sometimes, I can't even open my eyes while seating in the car either the light is too strong or it's too hard for me to look straight at the roads. I hadn't concerned this sensitive case would be such a big deal until the day I realized that I had to go to optician at Boots in Manchester after an hour in a car without a pair of sunglasses.


(*เมื่ออาทิตย์ที่แล้วแก้วได้รับอีเมลล์จากแผนกมาร์เกตติ้งของ Firmoo ซึ่งเป็นแบรนด์แว่นตาออนไลน์ที่กำลังได้รับความนิยมให้รีวิวแว่นตาให้ ซึ่งแก้วเลยเลือกแว่นตาสไตล์เรโทรชิ้นนี้ซึ่งสามารถนำมาแมทช์กับเสื้อผ้าได้หลากหลายคะ ขอบคุณแว่นตาคุณภาพดีที่ส่งมาให้นะคะ :))


Provided with wide variety options to choose from included a selection for those with prescription, I chose this unisex full frame acetate eyeglasses I have lots of black sunnies, as well as, mirrored one, so I thought this one would make a difference! I love toying both men and womenswear together, therefore this brown "retro" pair is absolutely match with my everyday outfit. Not only just the style, but its high quality is what I have been looking for as well. The reason why I do not spend my money on eyeglasses randomly is that eyes are very important organ (specially for those who have sensitive eyes like me), and I need something that can really protect my eyes from UV ray. Thus, Firmoo is the right one for me, plus you can also adds some extras called ''Adds-on Options" such as tint, gradient tint or photochromic. 

If you want a present for your eyes, here I recommend this high-quality eyewear brand. Or join virtual try on system with Firmoo in order to experience by yourself. 



If anyone has ever tried on Firmoo's, let's share the experience! :)














Thank you Firmoo so much for such a lovely sunglasses :')



Love you all xx
