An Uxbridge woman has been short-listed as a regional finalist for Specsavers’ Spectacle Wearer of the Year Award, out of thousands of people across the south-east.

Fashion and culture blogger Louisa Kiwana could win £10,000 as well as a luxury holiday in the Bahamas, plus styling and a personal shopping trip in London.

Louisa, 27, loves to incorporate various designs and colours of frames into her style pieces on her blog. She has been wearing glasses since the age of six.

“I love wearing glasses,” said Louisa, who is in the 25-39 age category of the competition.

 “I think it gives me a distinct look. Wearing glasses is about being your best self; there are loads of different styles to suit different faces, shapes and personalities.”

The final is in central London on Tuesday, October 7.
