We’ve had lots of lovely comments about our outside foliage.
I was originally inspired by shop fronts I'd seen in London, so commissioned a local florist to create this for us, and we’ve loved having this eye-catching feature. But now it’s time for a refresh, so we’ve enlisted the help of Annie at Bert & Ernie’s Bloomin Flowers who came up with the idea of a living display.
We’re now just waiting for the weather to improve before we can plant some trees that won’t get killed off in an unexpected frost.
Watch this space - literally!
So if you’re a cyclist, a runner or squash player, and would like to be able to wear your glasses, we’ve got a new range we’re sure you’ll be interested in having a look at! The Bolle range, arriving soon, is super stylish as well as practical.
They give great coverage and best of all some of the models can be laser glazed to your prescription - even some of the wrap designs.

Many are big and beautiful to give you max sun protection and the enigmatic Hollywood, red carpet shades look. BUT, if you are petite you’ll know you can sometimes be swamped by this look.
When I was in Paris last year I came across the amazing award winning Scottish designer Danielle Rattray and her fabulous designs for more petite dimensions.
Do pop in to view the models we chose in inky blue, black and tortoiseshell - elevated classics, and best of all a super fit for petite faces!
This was a great opportunity to see the latest designs in glasses and latest innovations in lenses. It’s a fabulous 3 day event including a catwalk show and an awards ceremony. You might have seen the social media posts about this - a fun time was had by all.
One of our lens partners, Nikon, treated us to a fabulous evening at Sushi Samba in the Heron Tower - I highly recommend this restaurant, one of the highlights is the glass lift ride up to the 42nd floor! Choosing new glasses for the studio is always fantastically enjoyable, and I bought lots of fabulous new frames, some of which have already arrived.

Last month, like every month, we had lots of you, our lovely clients, pick up your glasses, and very kindly let us take a quick video of you in your new specs.
Marie and Lisa are a class act!
I love their attention to detail.
Their knowledge and skill mean that you come away with the perfect pair of glasses that suit your style, character and skin tone.
When you have to wear glasses all the time you want them to enhance your look as well as being practical. If you haven’t been, I highly recommended you do

Marie has the most fantastic range of glasses to choose from!
She is expert in helping you find quite a few ‘perfect’ ones that suit you to choose from.
I love my new glasses I collected from her today.
Great fitting service as well. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Highly recommended.

I really value our relationship with you. Forrest Latest is our way of showing you behind the scenes at Forrest - what we've been up to, and what we're planning for you in the studio.
Many of you will only be coming to see us once every two years, so it would be great to keep in touch.
Your feedback is invaluable, and I’d love to receive any thoughts, questions or comments about what we do, so please get in touch by sending an email to Marie Forrest.
I promise to try to make this monthly newsletter interesting enough so that it doesn't become an annoyance in your inbox.
Wishing you a great day, and thank you for your continued business and support!
Marie
