The other day, I was talking to Chris about what I’ve learned about sunglasses over the years. I have a prominent nose with a hump, and I was today years old when I realized that I don’t like my glasses to fit above the hump on my nose. So a low-bridge fit is best for me. I also look for 52 mm width or wider frames because I have larger features on my face. On the tinted lenses side, I’ve almost always gone for black — or a little bit of a mirrored black is nice.

I really think sunglasses are a fun way to try a new trend. Amazon has so many lookalikes where you can try a fashion trend for like $10. Buuuuuuut….there is a difference between expensive sunglasses and cheap sunglasses. Chris recently got LASIK surgery and invested in some higher quality ones. I put them on and let me tell you, the clarity is real. I’m still squinting a little bit in mine, but for the money, I’m a fan!

The best part about shades is that there are a million to choose from, so you can always find the right one for you! So below, I’m sharing my sunglasses guide in a variety of price points.

It’s been over a year since we started designing our bathroom. We were working with Unique Kitchens and Baths for the cabinetry, and they came up with two different layouts. We selected one, tweaked it a bit and chose a lot of the finishes…annnnnd honestly we could never quite give the final “go ahead.” This […]
