This spring clogs are back, and are being sported by the likes of Alexa Chung and Best Coast front woman Bethany Cosentino. H&M has decided to join the trend, and is releasing a collaboration line with clog company Swedish Hasbeens. Swedish Hasbeens started making 70’s inspired clogs in 2006, and have since become one of the fastest growing brands out of Sweden. The usage of environmentally materials is a priority for the company that holds true for the line of six shoe styles developed for H&M. The highly anticipated collection hits stores this Wednesday.

WARBY PARKER: A NEW CONCEPT IN EYEWEAR

I’m always excited to buy a new pair of frames, but complications of the purchase can make it a hassle. Glasses are expensive, and then I have to pay another $75 for anti-reflective lenses? I also often encounter a lack of variety when choosing a pair of glasses. The selection that my optometrist carries is limited- every display case is filled with many small, rectangular, wire frames. I always end up settling for pair that is short on personality. The creative minds behind eyewear company Warby Parker don’t want glasses-wearers to settle.

Web-based Warby Parker offers stylish, vintage-inspired prescription glasses for $95 a pair with free-shipping. A wide selection of colors and styles are available for men and women- they even have a monocle! Warby Parker also operates under the “buy a pair, give a pair” principle: for every pair of glasses bought, they’ll donate another pair to those don’t have access to glasses. Skeptical about buying glasses online? Warby Parker has a virtual try-on option that allows you to get an idea of what you will look like with the glasses on. There’s also a five day home try-on if you want to handle the glasses in person before you decide.
