glasses galore

Remember how much I love my glasses? Warby Parker changed the face of... well, my face!
And I love them for it! Buuuut I really wanted to play with all of the other toys! SO, I headed over to their website and took advantage of their "try at home" option!
Because...
...it's awesome!





And it comes in cute packaging!


peek-a-boo!




What do you think of my choices?

Begley in Cedar Tortoise

Marcel in Aurora


Mallory in Gimlet Tortoise


Lyle in English Oak


Downing in Walnut Tortoise

The Downing were my favorite! I've missed having tortoise glasses, but really like the shape of my trusty Percies! But, alas, buying a new pair is not yet in the cards for me.


Well, except for these!

swingin' in the snow

Remember how I said that something to love about college is trying the most random of things? It still holds true! The other day, a handful of my roommates and I went to a swing lesson followed by a social and it. was. so. FUN!

This is the only picture I got of the night- which is a damn shame because there was a lot of dipping and tricks that would have been really cool to show you! 

The lesson started off a bit confusing(it's hard to learn half of something when the other part is missing!) and the dancing was a bit clumsy initially... but we got the hang of it! It was super fun and we've all decided to try going to regular lessons next semester! Hopefully, we'll get to learn all those fancy tricks the club members did while performing. 

The event itself was called "Swingin' in the Snow" (so I'm being very unoriginal with my title) and we got to spin around and boogie to some jazzy renditions of Christmas/holiday jams! I'm feeling so much more in the holiday spirit now! How are you getting into the swing of things? (see what I did there? *cheesy wink*)
