Spex Club: Shopping for Glasses Just Got More Fun

Woah, WHAT are John Lennon, Lady Gaga, Barack Obama and Justin Bieber all doing in a photo collage together? And what in the world is on their faces? I know it’s totally sacrilegious to group these icons together, but I had a little too much fun with Spex Club‘s brand new Virtual Mirror, where you can try on glasses (on you, on your boss, on The Biebs) with their easy picture uploader.

If you love shopping for glasses in real life as much as I do, welcome to your new cyber four-eyed BFF. We first introduced you to Spex Club, a new concept in shopping for glasses online, at the end of last year. In a nutshell, you can achieve the look of a sleek set of Marc Jacobs or Chanel frames for a fraction of the cost ($58 – $88)… you can get ANY frames in either prescription or sunglasses… AND you never have to leave your computer. Although, I suggest you leave your computer at some point… if you can pry yourself away.

You can get $25 off right now—click below, and have a Spexy time!

Candace and I tried some frames too. As they say in the Spex Club….

95-Year-Old Ida Keeling Sets a Running Record

As of today, this minute, this second you have absolutely no excuses for not wanting to exercise, and if you do have any qualms about getting into shape, the story of 95-year-old Ida Keeling will certainly change your position. I (Candace) will be the first to admit that exercise has never been top priority in my life. With a gym membership that rarely gets used and living around the corner from a park I’ve seen in person maybe twice, I know I need to get my act together. We came across a life changing story that is sure to jump start the health kick of any stagnant couch potato.

At almost as full century old, Ida set a record running 60 meters in 29.6 seconds. A widow at 42 years old, Ida began her running career at 60 years old. Need we say more? Watch Ida go in the video below.

Best Dressed Blogger Wins Big!

She looks pretty good, huh? Maybe it’s because she was getting pampered at our New York Fashion Week spa party with Lookbooks.com on Valentine’s Day… or maybe it’s because girlfriend knows how to put together a freakin’ outfit.

Congratulations to Emily of lovelywanderlust.com, who was voted by readers as the #1 best dressed blogger of the party, scoring her wine from Italian Wine Masters, a pair of Manolos, and a $100 Spa Week Gift Card!  Click HERE to browse everyone who entered the competition.

Emily had my vote from the beginning with her amazing high waisted leather shorts, demure Valentine’s Day spirited blouse, and perfectly V-necked cami  peeking out, revealing just enough and not too much. She pulled it together with almost-opaque tights and black booties and a soft furry clutch for a undoubtedly seasonal ensemble.

On behalf of Spa Week Daily, I’m excited to send this Wanderlust a la mode to the spa with a Spa Week gift card—whether it’s a massage, a facial, pedicure, scrub, eyelash extensions or something else she chooses, I know she’ll make it look exceptionally good.

Wedding Wednesday: Creating Your Royal Invitations

As the anticipation builds for Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s royal nuptials, each detail of their married affair will be highlighted and scrutinized. This week’s rumors went rampant about those who made the cut including Elton John, The Beckhams and Kanye West, to rumors of those who didn’t—Fergie the Duchess of York. Just yesterday an official photo of the royal invitation was leaked out to the press. Much to our suprise, it is hugely understated, except for a gold crown emblem on top of the information.

Giving your wedding invitations a splash of glamour and granduer really sets the bar for your guest and builds anticipation for the big day. Here are 5 important tips to easily create a royal invitation of your own.

1. Order You Invitation in a Timely Manner

As a bride, it’s understood that you may have a million and one task to take on at once but it’s important to order your invitations as soon as the guest list has been finalized. As a courtesy to your guest, you should aim to have them sent out 3 months in advance. Nail down the look of your invitations, scout out a stationary company, and the specifics of the affair at least two months prior.

2. Too Much Is Never Enough

Take on this mindset, not with just wedding invitations but with every detail of your wedding. In the months of planning you could run into with an old childhood friend, your favorite college professor, or re-connect with a relative that has moved away. These extra invitations could come in handy.

3. Formalize Your Invitations

This is a grandiose affair and there is no better time to pull out all the stops than now. Take a cue from the Royals, and spell out everything including the date and time. It should read: Saturday, the Eleventh of June at Five o’clock in the evening.

4. Fourteen Layer Invitation?

The more expensive the stamp, the more luxurious the invitation, the fancier the wedding, right? Not necessarily. Hire someone who can help you create a design that will stray away from your single flat sheet of paper, but can be elegant and luxurious without breaking the bank, or the mailman’s back.

5. Hire a Calligrapher

Give your wedding guests the royal treatment. They will swoon when they open up the invitation to see that their names have been handwritten in a beautiful old-fashioned cursive, not Monotype Corsiva.
