The Best Glasses Ever

The hubs recently found an online store for glasses that we are both completely obsessed with. Warby Parker is to glasses what Tom's is to shoes... but a whole lot less expensive. I absolutely love this line of men's and women's regular glasses and dun glasses. Not only are they ridiculously inexpensive ($95 for prescription glasses) but they also help those in need. Warby Parker donates a pair of glasses for every pair we buy. 

If you have been prescription eyeglass shopping before, you are probably about as lost as I am on how they can afford this. The glasses are well made, lenses are sturdy and anti-reflective, and they give to those in need. This shop is a win on all points for me! I am also completely obsessed with a few of their current styles. Here are my faves for guys and girls! 

For Women

I love these Baxter Catalina Blue glasses for women. This dark blue color is perfect for almost any skin tone, but if you are not so into this shade, they also come in Tortoise Shell and Pino Noir. 

It is also good to note that Warby Parker will overnight you 5 pairs to try on for free! 

The Warby Parker sun glasses can be a bit more pricey, ranging from $145 to $195 for prescription glasses. These Appleton glasses won't have me haggling for price though. What I like most about these is that the model looks like what Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter, Apple, could grow up to look like. Irony. 

 

For Men

Ombre may be on it's last leg for our hair, but it is still going strong for these Winston glasses. These glasses have all the things I love, gray colors, sleek designs, and they help the hubs see. These also come in black and brown fade for those not-so-gray people. Try these Burkes if ombre is just too modest! 

The Rutherford men's sunglasses are probably my favorite mens sunglasses ever created in the history of sun wear. Bold statement, I know. But these titanium mix glasses that put both steal gray and brown on the hub's face are worth such boldness. 

Bag Love

We do not talk about random style often on P+K, but today will have to be an exception. When we were in California last year we bought too much and needed a new bag. The hubs picked this one out and I happily accepted. For the hubs and I, picking out weekender bags is something of a hobby. We both have an addiction to weekender bags... Especially me. My closet has an entire rack dedicated to my favorite weekender bags and our guest closet is full of my not-so favorites that I cannot yet bare to give up.

Thankfully, this one has cured my obsessions [for now]. It is so pretty with it's leather straps and red stripe lining, but my favorite part is the zipper shoe pocket that runs the bottom length of the bag. That pocket was the most handy thing ever after running the Expedition Everest Challenge and having super yucky clothes+shoes.

Side note: We will have a full Expedition Everest run-down (so punny!) next week; and did you know it was the last year for it? Seriously curious about what will be taking it's place!

Sure, it is a bit pricey for a weekender, but it is completely worth it! If you have not checked out the bags at Herschel Supply Co., I would recommend doing so for sure. Especially with all those summer trips I know we are all going on :)

And.... To bring it all back to fitness, here is the Herschel Gym Bag I have been eyeing. Happy Weekend!

5 Fantastic Ways to Design Your Easter Eggs

Easter is almost here and this weekend I will [most likely] be decorating a few Easter eggs of my very own. But, we are leaving the dye kits and their bunny-ear shaped dippers at home. It is time for the Easter egg big leagues. These Easter eggs will make every DIY'ers heart pitter patter with DIY joy! For those who are not-so-great at the DIY game, do not fret, there are a couple of these that any skill level can complete with success. 

1. Game of Thrones Easter Egg. This Easter egg DIY from P+K last year is still one of my all-time favorites. The timing just works too perfectly to not have a dragon egg for Easter. Really. One of the best things about this one is that you can use not-real eggs and keep it for many years to come. Also, the metal and hot glue make it feel hot like a dragon's egg when you are done. So cool!

2. Natural Dyed Eggs. These are for all those out there who do not enjoy using synthetic ingredients in anything. Yes, these eggs were dyed with natural products, and a food that you have in your fridge! Red onions give these eggs their natural look. For a full color spectrum, you can also use saffron, blueberries, beets, purple cabbage, and carrot leaves. 

3. Golden Paper Mache. Martha Stewart just classes up every DIY. These paper mache eggs take two things up a notch. The first being paper mache, obviously; and the second being Easter eggs. This is not your usual kiddo arts and crafts! 

4. Sharpie Easter Eggs. That's right people, all we need for these is a Sharpie marker and some serious patience. Doing something like these intricate designs would probably send a person with my patience to a level of crazy equal with Jack Nicholson in The Shining. All those patient people out there can do this and think of me :)

5. Stick Things on Easter Eggs. Maybe you have seen/thought of this before, but finding these was like a Pinterest epiphany. You can paint an egg, then glue things on them for an extra pretty effect! Really, the person who thought this up is on level with that one who invented the wheel.
