Favorite Recent Purchases

There are two things I particularly love owning today.

1) My new glasses. I wear contacts most days. Except when I wear glasses. Which is not very often. So I only get new glasses every couple of years and I always look forward to the purchase. Costco is my go-to eyeglass source because a) they have carts and I have kids, and b) the buyers for Costco are surprisingly good.

For this eyeglass purchase I had my choices narrowed down to a cute pair of chunky Kate Spade tortoise shell frames and a sleek pair of blue enameled frames by Furla — that's right, Costco carries both Kate Spade and Furla and a bunch of other labels you know and love — I'm not kidding when I tell you the Costco buyers are good. It was a tough decision, but I've gone chunky for my last 3 pairs of glasses and thought it was time for something new.

I've had the Furla frames since last Thursday and I absolutely adore them. They brighten my day every time I see them — or see through them.



2) My stripey, long-sleeve tee from Alice Temperly for Target. The fit is great. It has a hint of shimmer and it was only $16.00. Perfect for layering (as pictured) or on its own. Mine is the yellow/grey version — a rare shade of yellow that I seem to be able to wear.
