warby parker!

yay! my warby parker home try-on samples have arrived! kim of eat.sleep.wear. introduced this company to me a few months ago. established by four friends, they sell frames and lenses for under $100...yes under $100. not only are their frames affordable, they also donate a pair of specs to someone in need for every pair purchased. so great. currently they have showrooms in new york, brooklyn, los angeles, san francisco, boston, oklahoma city, portland, austin and columbus, ohio....and as of november 17th, philadelphia!

they have two methods for trying on their frames: in their showrooms or the ultra-convenient home try-on option. you can select up to five pairs from their site and they send them directly to your house! you will have five days to try them out in the privacy of your house, with different hair styles, outfits, etc.

i did select two of my samples to purchase. can't wait for them to arrive!

stewart & claire.

it was an idea started over cocktails, by an old high school friend. just like concocting the perfect drink, stuart & claire blends ingredients to create organic and all natural lip balms. each are handmade and come in a variety of scents and flavors made from organic oils, butters and beeswax. they offer autumn, summer, bare (for sensitive lips), coconut and mint for $5.00 each.

if you have the perfect idea for a scent or flavor in mind, you can even create your own!
