French Terry Sweatshirt Black – Everlane.
I’m excited to try yet another Everlane product. They just released the French terry sweatshirt for $35. It looks pretty similar to the James Perse sweatshirt that I recently bought for over $100. We’ll see if it measures up!
For some reason my vision has gotten really blurry in the past month or so. I’m not entirely convinced that it is my lasik faltering because it has happened quite literally overnight. And there are points when I can see perfectly fine – like after drinking a glass of vino. I believe that there is something wacky happening with my medications, but as of yet, no doctor (out of the million of them that I see) can figure it out. This is totally annoying and bizarre.
In the meanwhile, I went to the optometrist who tested my vision and gave me a prescription for glasses. It isn’t that severe, something along the lines of -.75 nearsightedness. I figured that it would be good to fill the prescription because a) I was about to kill people on the road b) it was giving me a massive headache not being able to see.
The one plus to this entire situation is that I got a chance to order some Warby Parker glasses. I was excited for that because I really love their designs and their business. Previously I was laughed at for wearing my “fake” glasses and figured that now at least I have a good excuse.
I’ve been a fan of Warby Park for some time now. I randomly met one of their founders in NYC at a party and that was the first time I had heard of them. Since that time, it seems that they have really taken off.
They have a great aesthetic. Very simple, clean and modern frames. No muss, no fuss. Plus they make it super simple to order your glasses online. And the best part is that they are SUPER affordable at $95. And, guess what? They are even charitable as well, donating a pair of glasses for every one purchased.
You basically can’t go wrong.
As a sidenote, I went to a 1 hour place to get a pair of glasses while I waited for the Warby Parkers to arrive. It ended up costing me $330 to get them made. So think of the cost savings in using a regular storefront. Suck.
You can use their virtual try on service or you can even try 5 pairs of frames on that they ship to your house for free for 5 days (with a return label). Couldn’t be simpler.
I ordered mine and it took about 4 days to receive them. And I love them.
These are the frames that I purchased, but in a tortoise shell. I don’t think I’m quite bold enough to do the blue although I do like it.
The Jules sunglasses are really cute and part of the latest spring lineup.
OK, this is not a favorite, but I thought I’d share it anyways. They also have a monacle for $50. I think I might be weirded out if anyone busted this out, but I suppose they sell otherwise why have it?

First off, I have to admit that my style of dressing has gotten really really comfortable. I’m not quite at the point of wearing my PJs out of the house, but there is a lot less fashion in my life these days than in times past. This might have something to do with the fact that San Francisco is so damned chilly and wearing cute spring dresses is not even an option. Or laziness. All I know is I want to be comfy.
We went to James Perse the other day in LA and I picked up a pair of these sweatpants. And I am totally and completely in love with them. They might possibly be the best thing invented since sliced bread. For reals.
You might ask yourself why a pair of sweatpants can be so freakin’ good, right? I mean, they are cotton and they are warm, so what is the diff?
There is something about James Perse clothing that is simply amazing. His stuff is totally basics. Like a very upscale version of American Apparel (without all the porn). The cotton is so soft and the right amount of thickness, but durable feeling. The cuts are great. I can’t say enough about how much I love this stuff. It is the ultimate definition of comfort.
If it weren’t such a fashion faux pas, I would seriously wear these sweatpants every day of my life coupled with a nice soft Everlane t-shirt. At $125, they aren’t cheap, but damn it they are worth it.

New Banksy Painting Appears In London's Canary Wharf.
How does anyone verify if things are truly Banksy or not these days? It seems like anyone with a stencil, a can of spray paint and a good sense of humor can do something very similar…
What, just because he is Ice Cube everyone is surprised that he has good design sensibility and likes Eames? Still, I give props for him bigging up some of the less seen elements of LA.

This is such sweet music. Innocent and catchy. Clean…like it should be in an Apple commercial.
