trying to see if these blue specs would work on my face. maaaybe. hehe

Happy (almost) holidays to all of you! Between my son having a bit of a fever scare (toddlers, amirite!) and the holiday rush, I struggled a little bit to stay timely with my posts so I do apologize for that! Today I wanted to chronicle the very cool experience I had working with the LensCrafters and Luxottica - not too long ago, I received a special invite to preview their newly remodeled store in Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, and chat up with the team about all things vision, and the importance of having your overall eye health checked regularly. There's a LOT of things that we discussed and I don't think I can encompass it in one post, so for today, let me go ahead and show you the super chic new store in Novi and why it's worth the visit!

For the record, I've always liked LensCrafters. I am a bit of a hypochondriac, so imagine how I freaked out when I saw a bunch of little floaters in my eyes (don't Google "floaters" unless you want to read about "retinal detachment" and promptly get scared out of your wits end. seriously don't. lol)  last year. I know I wanted a no-holds barred kind of eye screening, so I promptly scheduled an appointment stat. Though it may cost a little bit more than the average exam, experiencing their AccuExam was one of the most amazing, most clarifying experiences I've ever had health-wise. I will go into detail about that exam later. The staff also made the experience very educational and cool for me.

Going back, just how gorgeous and chic is their new store?! More photos after the jump!

Inspiration is everywhere, indeed! Thank you Aldo Twelve Oaks for having us!

December has been decidedly kinder - weather-wise, and the fact that it's literally everyone's favorite month, right? Holiday parties and events here and there, little mixers, and gifts! Tons of it (both buying and being the receiving end, haha)! I think the only downside of December is my empty wallet from all the holiday shopping, but I'm sure you guys can relate!

Speaking of awesome holiday parties, Aldo Shoes in Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi recently held the holiday edition of their popular A-List Shopping Party Series, and was awesome enough to pass on the invitation to us Detroit fashion bloggers - see more photos after the jump!
