Warby Parker




A visit to the eye doctor for new frames can cost up to hundreds of dollars. Myself, I get glasses once a year maybe once every two years. I feel like glasses lately have become a huge part of daily style. There are so many fabulous different styles and colors to choose from its making me want more glasses. I recently heard through other websites, tweets, and instagram photos about the website Warby Parker. Warby Parker is the most genius idea I have heard of in a very long time. This company allows you to pick five frames from their collection to be sent to your home so that you can try them on in the comfort of your home. After you've had the glasses for five days you send them back and then you pick the eyeglasses you would like to purchase for ONLY $95. The $95 includes anti-reflective prescription lenses and Warby Parker also offers up to 30 days for returns. Lastly, my favorite thing, for every pair of glasses you purchase at Warby Parker they donate a pair to a person in need. (Just like the story behind Toms)

The Bachelor Season 16 - Episode 6

I barely stayed up and alert for the bachelor last night. After spending the weekend in Walt Disney World, and coming home to a super bowl party on Sunday night I was in full zombie mode all of Monday. I drank some coffee, put my priorities in order and knew I had to at least try and stay up to watch The Bachelor. No party at the house this week, which honestly made the show almost unbearable to watch, because as everyone knows Ben is my least favorite most hated Bachelor ever on this program. It just wasn't the same with out my friends there laughing, making jokes, and reading @possessionista tweets out loud. Bachelor Monday's will be in full effect next Monday, that's a promise.



Why are there so many outdoorsy dates on this season of The Bachelor? Is the budget running low or something? I’m confused! What happened to the shopping spree dates and the makeovers and all that fun stuff? Nope! Not this season, this season you get dropped of on a deserted island and have to catch your own fish and chop down coconuts! I was honestly confused, I thought maybe by accident I had changed the channel and was all of a sudden watching survivor. Until the moment when out of nowhere Kacey and Ben found a bottle of champagne on a "deserted" island and started drinking - yea I knew I was on the right channel after that happened. Kacey was genuinely nervous about spending "alone" time with Ben, which kind of worries me. Does she realize that if she is the one proposed to at the end she will have to spend a lot of alone time with Ben? Kacey then shares with the viewers that she is going to completely open up on her date, which to her means informing Ben that she was anorexic and bulimic in the past....I knew there was a reason she was so skinny (jk don't kill me), besides the fact that she's 24 years old and her metabolism probably hasn’t caught up with her yet. I guess I just thought she was going to share some type of past relationship drama.


Courtney goes on another group date and all I can think about is those poor other girls that had to go on that date with her! I would hate to be on a group date with Courtney, but HATE! They went on some boat ride and hung out with some tribe, again more gross outdoorsy stuff. They all dressed up like the tribe members, the normal girls leaving on their bathing suits, but not Courtney that girl just loves to be naked! B + C = <3 (yea she’s not a toddler, I promise)! After the tribe encounter the ladies and Ben headed up to the roof top pool area of a hotel. He has one on one conversations with all of them. When it was Jaime and Ben's time Courtney decided that was the perfect time for her to take a dip in the pool. As if Jaime needed any help being awkward around Ben. Oh that Court she really is something special. I was so very very very happy that Lindzi got the rose! Yay! I really like Lindzi and Ben together, especially because Lindzi loves the outdoors and we all know Ben loves his outdoorsy dates! I also think shes great because she has the most adorable dimples ever! I have to wonder...has Courtney ever watched the bachelor before. Since when do girls on this show give the bachelor their room number and ask them to come over later for some one on one time? This girl just doesn’t give a crap about how this shows works, and hey I have to give her props it is working for her! Thank God Ben didn't show up at her hotel room late that night, because that might have been the straw that broke the camels back for me, and I might have just stopped watching this season completely.



To be honest I was pretty bored on Ben's 2 on 1 date with Rachel and Blakeley. Blakeley's "sexual" salsa dancing was horrific and the scrapbook was probably the most desperate thing I have ever seen. I don’t have much to say about this I fast forwarded through most of it. Happy that Rachel got the rose; though I have a feeling she won’t be around for much longer. No one can deny that the front runners here are Courtney, Kacie, Lindzi, and Emily and probably Nicki too, that's clear to see by anyone .


This is Casey boyfriend! Honestly I think he's much cuter than Ben.
What we're you thinking Casey?
Casey S. got sent home because she has a boyfriend back home that she's in love with but he doesn't want to marry her. She wants to change him but she can’t so she decided to go on the Bachelor?!?!? Hmmmm all I have to share about this is the following: Casey wipe your tears and don’t cry I can pretty much promise you Ben doesn’t want to get married (at least not right now). He's not on the bachelor to find true love because if he was he would have gotten rid of Blakeley long time before last night's episode. He would have sent Courtney packing weeks ago and he would have kept Jennifer. Consider yourself lucky you got to go home.
That leaves us with the rose ceremony. After the most awkward "lap dance" and make out tutorial ever Jaime finally gets sent home. She pretty much buried herself with that lap dance and attempt at a kiss. At least she admitted she’s prude. I mean the girl didn’t speak for five episodes and now she can’t shut her mouth and is giving lap dances? What happened to her!?!??!

One more date until the home town dates (my favorite!) Until next Monday in Belize!

monday must


I have a fascination with shoes...I know surprising, what girl doesn't. Specifically nude sky high platform heels have a tight hold around my heart. As I was going through over 100 emails from this past weekend I ran into these beautiful babies in an email from Neiman Marcus. Its safe to say it was love at first sight. Alexandre Birman is a new designer that Neiman's is carrying and I am already a big fan. These shoes are only available for pre-order right now, and are not being shipped until March 6, 2012,...But look at them they are clearly worth the wait.

a few of my favorite things


These are a few of my favorite things that I use almost every single day. I am pretty much a hair product junkie and have tried many different products in all different price ranges. Lately I have become just a tiny bit obsessed with Moroccan Oil. Moroccan Oil hair products have been around for years now, but I just recently got into them. Not only do all these products work great and leave your hair flawless, but the smell alone is intoxicating and I can not get enough. I wish they made bath oil or a bubble bath so I could just soak in the Moroccan Oil smell for hours.  I swear sometimes I spray the hair spray on my hair just so I could smell it all day long.


I have been doing highlights on my hair since freshmen year of college (a long time ago) I think due to this my hair gets way too many knots when I wash it. Nothing detangles my hair like "It's a 10" miracle leave-in! Just a couple sprays makes all the knots disappear. Recently I've switched from Bio-Silk to L'Anza silk therapy, in my opinion L'Anza leaves my hair lighter and still frizz free. Kiehl's Original Musk is a must. The body spray sells out so fast my mom and I buy a few at a time, but the body cream is my absolute favorite. The smell (I know again with the smells) of this product is a manly woodsy scent and I'm absolutely obsessed with it. Not only is the smell delicious but it leaves my skin so smooth and soft. 



Miss Dior Cherie is a new perfume I bought recently. I bought the smallest size because some scents give me headaches and i wasn't sure how I was going to react to it. Well weeks later no headaches and lots of compliments. Miss Dior Cherie is just like the cherry on top of an outfit, it adds that extra touch making me feel all girly, sexy and glamorous.


Lastly but of course not least the latest addition to my ever growing nail polish collection, Essie's "a crewed interest". This pale peach sherbet color is getting me so excited for spring. I hope you all enjoyed a few of my favorite things. I'm going to try and switch up Friday's posts from Three Terrific Things to A few of my favorite things, just because sometimes I have more than three terrific things from the week that I want to share and sometimes I have less. Therefore a few of my favorite things is a much better idea.

golden moment

 BarIII via Macy's sweater. paige jeans (last seen here). fendi "spy bag".
loehmann's knot necklace. clover necklace (gift).
rolex watch. bracelts: bexlinx, n&kdesigns, tiffany&co. orange one is from acl music festival stand.

Nothing in this world makes me feel quite as beautiful and refreshed as new highlights / color and getting my hair professionally done. Last night i had the wonderful Enrique of Enrique Salon in Coral Gables do highlights, lowlights, and curls to my hair. I am so happy with the results as seen in today's blog post. I showed him a couple hair inspirational photos of the look I wanted, which was a more golden blonde and he definitely accomplished that.
