Life isn't blurry because of all the recent changes in my life, but from the actual natural loss of my 20/20 vision. Thanks again to Real Simple, come May 2011 with my new health care plan, I will be sporting new glasses from Warby Parker. Why?
  • Buy a pair and they give a pair to someone in need.
  • Free shipping, free returns
  • Free home try-ons
  • Frames cost around $95
  • Virtual-try ons
They say getting glasses increase one's income by 20%. Not sure if this applies to me, but I'll try.

Welcome Spring with this Clutch from Mar Y Sol, featured in Real Simple.

why didn't i think of this ?! you send in your room dimensions and style and Tobi sends you back a box of design to complete your room. GENIUS. i hear he is doing really well with this concept...good for him!


abby...found this in my office...what does this fabric remind you of?


something you should purchase from anthro? :)
