Perfect Peggy

If you read me recently you will know all about my love for the wonderful ladies, Caroline and Lauretta over at Retropeepers.

Over the past 18 months I  have tried a multitude of glasses and have loved every single one of them; Bettie, Zsa-Zsa, Frida Sunglasses and Marilyn.

Marilyn Glasses

Now I was feeling the need for another stylish pair. But there are so many to choose from that I was struggling to decide.

At Londonedge in January I had actually met the ladies and had a go at virtually every pair they sell.

I was particularly struck on the Peggy and even more so the fact that it comes in over 33 varieties if you take into account readers and sunglasses.

Midnight Blue

What a choice!

Emerald Green

After much umming and ahhhing I had narrowed it down to four choices; emerald, red diamond, amethyst and bronze leopard.

Bronze Leopard

In the end I couldn’t decide so contacted the ladies themselves to ask their opinion, especially as I had recently dyed my hair from Peach to Grey.

It was the overwhelming opinion that one specific colour really would be the ones to suit, so away I went.

Caroline and Lauretta already have my prescription so it was no problem at all to place the order. I told them the colour and less than five days later a box landed on my doorstep.

Handle with Care

I was so excited to put them on that I took my contact lenses out straight away.

The stunning clear Emerald green was spot on.

Enticing Emerald

They really were such a lovely design and I simply can’t fault the colour at all. They really bring out the hazel/green colour of my eyes and looked great with the grey curly hair.

Again as with all the glasses I have had from Retropeepers, I haven’t taken them off since I put them on. The contacts have not gone back in and I am happily showing off the new specs.

Peggy Perfection

As always, the ladies have sent me a great product. Stylish, Fun, Colourful and also very Vintage. I absolutely adore them.

Oh and one of the best things about these glasses?

So stylish

With a standard prescription lens with anti-scratch coating comes to the bargain price of £55. You can’t go wrong with prices like those.

My only dilemma now is I still fancy a pair of the Bronze Leopard. And the Red Diamond.

Red Diamond

I think I will only be happy when I have a pair in every colour!

So, what do you think? Did I choose right with the Emerald?

Till next time,
