WIN: Specsavers Spectacle Wearer Of The Year

Specsavers Spectacle Wearer Of The Year

And so the search begins for the Specsavers Spectacle Wearer of The Year…  Sex and The City actress, Kim Cattrall touched down in New Zealand last week to lead the search with Specsavers to find New Zealand’s most stylish spec-wearer. Oh, and did I mention I was lucky enough to meet and dine with the hollywood beauty? Specsavers you’re amazing!

Specsavers Spectacle Wearer Of The Year

Kim takes up the role of star judge and ambassador for the Specsavers Spectacle Wearer of The Year competition, following in the footsteps of fellow proud spec-wearing ambassadors – actresses Eva Longoria, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Margot Robbie, style icon and Mad Men star Christina Hendricks and international supermodel Helena Christensen.

Kim is the perfect ambassador for Specsavers – not only is she an absolute inspiration to women the world over, an amazing award-winning actress, and someone who I could personally talk to for hours, she’s a true blue spec-wearer (like myself)…

Kim said, “I remember looking for glasses during one of my first shopping experiences. I was apprehensive but loved it, there were so many styles to choose from and I must have tried on most of the specs on display. In fact, I still have that first pair!”

“I like wearing glasses so I can see, obviously, but also because a smart of pair of glasses and the right frame for my face is enough of a fashion statement in itself. For me, glasses are the ultimate accessory which is why I’m excited to come to New Zealand to help Specsavers find the most stylish spec wearer.”

My excitement and happiness at meeting Kim still has me on cloud nine and I really could talk [see: write] about Kim for hours, but I really must move on to the reason for my meeting Miss Cattrall and how you could be in to win the most fabulous of prizes by becoming the 2016 Specsavers Spectacle Wearer of the Year…

Specsavers is on the lookout for spec-wearing champions, Kiwis who love their glasses and celebrate wearing them with style and confidence.

The entrant crowned Spectacle Wearer of the Year will win a trip for two to NYC including $1,000 spending money, will have the opportunity to meet award-winning actress, Kim Cattrall, and will also receive a Spectacle Wearer of the Year prize pack, including a year’s supply of designer glasses from Specsavers.

Spectacle Wearer of the Year encourages Kiwis from the tip of the North Island to the South to enter and show off their personal spec-style. All you have to do is snap a selfie in your specs to be in to win. Here’s a pair I fell in love with at Specsavers…
