I mostly wear contact lenses to correct my ridiculously rugby-ball shaped, lazy & unfocused eyes, but I do love a pair of statement glasses for days when I feel my wardrobe needs a little boost (or if I have an important meeting).

I’d been lusting after a pair of Cutler & Goss, but was not prepared to shell out £270 (then another £100+ for custom lenses). This pair are from the Gok Wan range at Specsavers and they also come in white! What I loved more about these than similar pairs available was the matte, textured wood effect. Just a little bit different.

What’s better is that because I have the contact lens direct debit with Specsavers, all my glasses are 50% off, so these cost me £45!!

Needless to say, he connected with the audience straight away with his friendly and bubbly personality and never ceased making the audience and I laugh at his never ending jokes – handy when you’re dealing with the often fraught world of fashion.

During the show he called six random audience members up and shared some styling advice depending on their body shapes. There were a mix of shapes from pears, rectangles, triangles, apples, hourglasses and inverted triangles.
