The It Bag That We Can’t Stop Wearing “True friends are never apart. Maybe in distance but never in heart.” This is a quote that pretty much sums up Michelle and I’s friendship. We may live on opposite sides of the country but our friendship hasn’t changed a bit since her move out west. We still talk constantly about work, life, new mom discoveries, fashion finds and so on and it certainly makes the time we are able to spend together that much more special. While we can do much of our work and keep up with your friendship via phone and email, there are some things that just can’t be done via technology. Like meet the newest addition to 52 Thursdays, little baby Adaline! I headed out to LA a few weeks ago to meet this little angel and oh my god is she the cutest! I had some time to get to know Adaline while I visited and also learned that new parent life is no joke! But it seems that Michelle and Phil have the hang of it and nothing makes me happier than seeing my best friend be an amazing mother to her beautiful daughter. Our […]

Did you know that over half of all women wear glasses…crazy, I know. Donning a pair of glasses were literally teenage me’s worse nightmare. Oh how times have changed, now kids wear spectacles with faux frames! So, if over half of us ladies are required to wear some type of vision correction, then we better look good while doing so. We were introduced to SelectSpecs and were given the opportunity to try out a pair ourselves, and we were pleasantly surprised. Despite a large selection of designers, frames and styles to choose from the selection process was easy. Finding high quality prescription eyewear that looks great but doesn’t break the piggy bank can be quite difficult. Thanks to SelectSpecs large selection we can select multiple pieces that will give us the flexibility to match our looks/outfits. I fell in love with the Savannah style. It’s versatile with a fun, playful nerdy edge to it. They’re essentially an accessory to your outfit rather than a day to day necessity. If you happen to be a part of that above percentile and are looking for an update in your eyewear closet, then we encourage you to try out SelectSpecs. Add a few more fun, fashionable pieces to your selection […]
