After seeing large-framed sunglasses everywhere for several years, I think these elongated ones from Kimeze look downright refreshing.
These Italian-made cat eye sunglasses provide 100% UV protection and come in eight colors. (I’m partial to dark gold.) The brand, founded by two sisters, specifically designs its frames to fit Black and brown facial features.
Kimeze’s Oré sunglasses are $300.

Weekend parenting/marriage vent. We went to a nearby lake beach yesterday with DH and our toddler. When we got to the beach, DH promptly sat on a chair and started to read. Meanwhile, I spent an hour building sandcastles and swimming with our kid – which I was happy to do. When I came out of the water, I was a like hey why don’t you come and hang with us? And he was like no, I’m good reading. He’s a good dad who will actively engage with our kid on specific things – he will handle pickup, he will take her to an activity, he will even volunteer to take her to the park or something so I get a break. But when I’m around, I am systematically the default parent. It’s like it never occurs to him that maybe he should build sand castles so that I could read for a while? And it’s a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy because my kid is really attached to me, but that’s also because she knows that I’m going to be the one engaging with her if I’m around. Does anyone else deal with this?
Man, we had a very full, fun long weekend with our kids…and I’m LOVING being in the quiet office today!
Kids are 4.5 and 7.5, and weekends are definitely more fun now, so those with babies/toddlers, hang in there! Just don’t be surprised if you still enjoy the quiet ;)
what are your almost 9 year old girls into these days? going to visit a friend and want to bring a gift.
Posting here because I can’t really tell most people in real life. I got a raise, based on my ask. I shot high, which annoyed my boss, but it is the largest increase I’ve gotten ever. We are a very small law firm so it was hard for me to have the conversation. Now just trying to get over feeling like my male boss is going to judge me forever for being too “aggressive” with my ask and remind myself that I hadn’t gotten a real raise in years.
Reporting back from Labor Day weekend in the middle of nowhere with only one kid. It went much better than expected! My BIL had a friend with 6 (!) kids over on Saturday, which was chaotic but obviously fun for my kid. My childless SIL and BIL were horrified by the state of their house at the end of the day, and I felt bad for them but was also secretly relieved that for once the blame for mess and chaos wasn’t all or even mostly pointed at my kid. ;) The other days we mostly stayed at home, but they weren’t bad. Puzzles were a great idea, and I also had a good idea to bring a quilt kit she got for a birthday a few months back – that was hours of relatively mess-free entertainment. And she was very happy to read and draw a ton, much more than she did last time we visited. A year just makes a huge difference at this age. We stopped at a mall and restaurant she loves on the way home, so that was a little bit of a reward for her, but she said had a really great time and wants to go back.
I posted on the main page weekend thread that our infant daycare was suddenly closing, which is a huge shock – it’s a local center with the best reputation and the company (4-5 sites) has been around for decades. Our baby was at the newest site that opened in early summer – how can it go from “yay, expansion!” to closing at the end of the month just like that, even given the known issues in our state (CA) affecting childcare operators? We’re so upset not only about the mad scramble to find a new place, but about taking our baby away from the teachers he’s bonded with. They really seem to love him and he was doing so well, plus it’s THE closest location to our place of any daycare in the county. I hate the thought of uprooting him and our routine, but of course we have no choice and I’m not going to let myself dwell on questions of disrupted attachment.
