Hey there four eyes!

 

I'm not sure I've ever mentioned this before, but I am a glasses-wearer and I have been for almost my entire life! I got my first pair of specs in pre-school and I rocked those safety plastic glasses with Mickey Mouse on the sides harder than any kid on the planet:

#CrushingIt circa 1989

Since I've worn specs or contact lenses (lenses since the week I got my learners permit!) for so long, I was absolutely tickled when Warby Parker contacted me to ask for help spreading the word about the launch of their newest special edition Corner Collection which includes 5 funky new shapes in two new colors!

Lookin fresh you guys.

I love Warby Parker for a lot of reasons (their easy mail order process, amazing 1-for-1 charitable program and unbeatable prices to name a few!) and I own 1 pair of prescription glasses and 2 pairs of prescription sunnies from their brand. I am digging the new Corner Collection because it is sophisticated yet quirky, crisp and traditional while somehow also edgy and unique. Whether you're in the market for new glasses or someone who likes to have multiple frames on hand like myself, I have to point you to my two favorite styles from the collection, the Goodney and the Quentin:

The Corner Collection comes in eyeglasses styles and sunglasses styles and since for every pair you purchase, a pair is donated to someone in need, I don't know what you're waiting for to scoop up some of these limited edition specs!! 

Pinterest-ing Lately.

I needed to pin this. Obviously.

I am a Pinterest addict. I absolutely LOVE the site as a source of inspiration, information and mindless entertainment (not to mention crucial to my blog content!) and I actually get stressed if more than a day or 2 goes by without time to scroll through my feed (how will I catch up on all those pins!? What if I miss something epic-ly awesome that I NEEDED to re-pin!?) Some of my pins have a clear purpose (recipe, craft idea, decor or fashion inspiration) while others are just because they make me smile (I have an entire board dedicated to "Disney Dreams" and another simply for things that are "Beautiful to Look At"!) So here for your Thursday clicking pleasure are some of my favorite Pins from lately:

How simple/sexy/chic is this look!? I have all the pieces in my closet (black blazer, ripped boyfriend jeans, grey t and black clutch).Add some strappy heels for additional polish... Friday night are you here yet!? Pin it HERE.

OMG this is brilliant. Perfect for road trips, tailgating or general ready-for-anythingness! Pin it HERE, buy it HERE.

So true.

I keep my sunnies collection balanced on the top of my bedroom mirror, but this storage/display solution is pretty cool (plus I always find that keeping all my options visible is key to remembering all my options!) $50 to buy for those of you that aren't craft-inclined, but I think you could easily DIY this with some ingenuity and assistance from Home Depot. Pin it HERE, buy it HERE.

This dessert... this Nutella, berry bruschetta dessert, must get in my BELLY! Pin it HERE, full recipe HERE.

I couldn't even stand to look at you...

Something "popped up"!!!

Well not you exactly, but my computer screen. Allow me to explain. You see yesterday I suffered what I believe was Meri's First Migraine (awwww). It started with a weird blur in my vision in the morning right around when I normally finish and publish my posts. A fuzzy, achy head and bizarre intolerance for bright light followed... I managed to eek out a full work day (important deadlines loomed) by doing this:

Attorney Chic.

Good thing I had such totally work appropriate sunglasses with me right? Anyway, I barely made it through work, didn't once browse on Pinterest (now you know my head was achin') and I apologize for leaving you Meri-less for the day (hopefully not merry-less!?!) One gem that did come from my inability to hear loud noises or endure bright light though, was that I relaxed by listening to Disney's Sleeping Beauty soundtrack (isn't that what all adult women do when they want to feel better!?) and thankfully felt well enough to look up THIS:

Princess Aurora

That's Mary Costa, also known as Sleeping Beauty. How gorgeous right!? Turns out many of the voices behind my favorite princesses come from ladies with strikingly princess-like features (Cinderella played by Ilene Woods and Snow White played by Adriana Caselotti below... Check out more HERE!)

So now that I've provided a very long-winded and Disnified excuse for my absence yesterday...

HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!!! 

Here's hoping your weekend is filled with "sweetness and light"!!!

Sweetness & Light... so damn clever (& adorable!)
