These Sunglasses Alert You if You Lose Them + Send Coupons to You?!

Apr 29, 2014

If you don’t know what iBeacon is yet, we’re excited to tell you about it — and if you do know, we’re excited to dish about the latest, incredibly wearable way you’ll be able to use it. iBeacon is an indoor positioning system, which is a fancy way of saying that it’s tech that tips off nearby devices if you’re around and makes them do certain things. We love a more automated life! At-home, it could signal to turn off the TV or the lights whenever you leave the room (or how about turn on music when you arrive home ;). Out ‘n’ about, Apple-approved, Bluetooth-powered iBeacon will tip off stores that you’re browsing in them so they can send coupons and deals straight to your smartphone. All that and these stylish sunglasses are the latest way you can bring iBeacon into your life.

Tzukuri is crafting the first pair of glasses that will be embedded with iBeacon technology and certified under Apple’s MFi (Made-for-iPhone/iPad/iPod) program. Take these on your next shopping trip and certain stores will beam special deals and info about products you’re perusing right to you. If you accidentally leave them in the dressing room, the tech will let you track them down.

Never lose your favorite sunnies again — a miracle if you’re forever misplacing your shades. The sunglasses’ iOS app will alert you once you’re 16 feet away from them, then again at 32 and 50 feet.

And who would want to leave these beaut’s behind?! Each pair is handmade in Japan with mega high quality, polarized, anti-scratch lenses and 100% UV protection. Plus, the glasses don’t just protect you from the sun, they’ll harness solar power to keep them charged so they’re never “off.” The six designs are inspired by superstars like John Lennon, Grace Kelly and Tom Ford and the company plans prescription glasses in their future, though you could put your own lenses in these if you’re impatient.

We’ll keep an eye out for the campaign on Kickstarter or Indiegogo so you can get a pair of Tzukuri on your face ASAP. Glasses will ring in at around $230 USD for a special pre-order price with plans to ship around December 2014 or January 2015.

Would you wear techy sunglasses? What other accessory do you want to ping you if it’s lost?

10 Dog Breeds That Are Often Misunderstood (and Deserve a Second Chance)

Despite dogs being our loyal companions for centuries, there are some breeds that struggle with unfair reputations. Whether due to myths, media portrayals, or a lack of understanding and training, certain dogs are often judged before they even have a chance to prove themselves.

The truth is that many of these so-called "problem" breeds are loving, intelligent, and make wonderful pets in the right homes. Here are 10 different types of pups that are commonly misunderstood but really deserve a second chance.

Scroll to see the top 10 misunderstood dog breeds!

Nikola Čedíková

1. American Pit Bull Terrier

With their muscular build and strong jawline, the American Pit Bull Terrier has been labeled as aggressive. Their past association with dogfighting has furthered this stigma, but in reality, Pit Bulls are loyal, affectionate, and quite eager to please their owners.

When given proper training and socialization, these dogs, known for their playful nature, can make great family pets.

Julissa Helmuth

2. Bullmastiff

The towering size of Bullmastiffs can make them seem intimidating, but this breed is actually a pretty gentle companion.

They were originally bred to help guard large estates, so they are protective by nature. Even so, they rely more on their presence as opposed to aggression to keep their loved ones safe. Bullmastiffs are also beloved by many owners for their patience and affection.

Elina Volkova

3. Cane Corso

Cane Corsos have gotten a bad rap as an overly aggressive breed because of their large, muscular stature and intense gaze. They hail from Italy, where they were bred as working and guardian dogs. That's why their demeanor is naturally serious and protective.

But beneath their tough exterior, these pups are devoted, intelligent, and calm. Cane Corsos form strong bonds with their owners and thrive in environments with consistent leadership and love.

4. Akita

Akitas have a quieter nature, which has led to misconceptions about their temperament. Some mistake their reserved demeanor for aloofness, yet this breed is really loyal and affectionate with their families.

It's true that Akitas are naturally protective and can be a bit wary of strangers, but this trait makes them excel as watchdogs. And once these dogs form a bond with their owners, it's unbreakable.

Michele Friend

5. Belgian Malinois

The Belgian Malinois has become associated with police and military work, gaining this breed an unfair reputation as overly aggressive or intense. Sure, these dogs have a strong work ethic and lots of energy. However, they're also highly loyal and intelligent.

With proper training and an active lifestyle, they double as skilled working dogs and faithful companions.

Thierry Rossier

6. Shar Pei

With its distinctive wrinkles and intense expressions, the Shar Pei can come across as standoffish. This breed may be a bit reserved with strangers, too, but they form very strong bonds with their loved ones.

These pups are just naturally protective of family members, not overly aggressive. They have a calm demeanor, too, and do best in homes where they're respected.

7. Great Dane

The sheer size of the Great Dane can be intimidating and causes many to assume that they're hard to handle. Contrary to this belief, these large dogs are some of the gentlest and most affectionate pups, which is why they're often referred to as "gentle giants."

Great Danes are friendly and calm in nature, thrive on human interaction, and make excellent family pets.

Rajesh Balouria

8. German Shepherd

Much like the Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds are also associated with military and police work. This has led many people to think they're aggressive or too serious.

In truth, these dogs are extremely smart and super affectionate with their families. Of course, they are naturally protective, yet they also have a gentle and playful side, especially with those they trust.

German Shepherds love companionship and are happiest when they just get to be with their owners.

9. Boxer

Boxers tend to be big, with lively expressions and a lot of energy. Some have interpreted their behavior to mean they're aggressive, but that's really not the case.

This breed is very playful, affectionate, and social. They do tend to get excited, but their energy stems from their spirited nature. With regular exercise and stimulation, Boxers are well-behaved, loyal, and form strong bonds with their family.

MART PRODUCTION

10. Rottweiler

Last but not least is the Rottweiler, a breed that's thought to be aggressive or friendly. Despite what their size might suggest, these dogs are really loving and devoted.

When they're raised in caring homes and provided with training and socialization, they'll show their playful side while still being alert and protective.

I Went On A Hot Girl Hike With Ray-Ban Stories Sunglasses & I Have Some Thoughts

We're officially living in the future. Ray-Ban paired up with Meta to create Ray-Ban Stories — AKA smart sunglasses. While the features of the glasses are probably fairly simple for the technology giant at this point, I was completely mind blown by the capabilities that this trendy accessory has. I went on two lengthy hikes (5 miles each) to try out the battery life, camera, microphone and bluetooth offerings. Here’s what I thought.

Image via Olivia Bria

The first point I should make about these glasses — I opted for the Wayfarer shiny brown pair with brown lenses — is that they need to be charged for optimal use. If the battery isn't already at 100%, it takes about 30 minutes to charge them enough for use. The glasses will inform you of the battery percentage through a voice speaker (Tony Stark style) if they're low on battery, but my mistake is that I assumed they would be fully charged after the 30 minutes. They were unfortunately only at 26%, so they died halfway through my first hike (hence me trekking through an early morning hike again the next day).

Alongside charging the sunglasses, you also have to download the “View' app, where the accessory downloads your captured photos, handles settings, and even creates a video montage of your creations. The app provides step-by-step instructions, so I would say anyone who's used any technology ever is able to wear the sunglasses easily. Once I was fully equipped with the app, I set off for my hike.

Like most hikes, the views aren’t stunning until you arrive at the top, so I refrained from taking any photos or videos until the real view set in. Instead, I called my grandma to wish her a happy birthday (and of course, see how the microphone works paired with my iPhone 14 pro). My grandma claims that the audio was clear as day on her end, and I had no issues hearing her either over some very loud LA traffic. After, I played my favorite podcast and songs on Spotify — I'm definitely not used to listening to music so clearly without having Airpods in, so I was a bit taken back by it.

Here’s the one caveat I have with the sound: if you play the audio loud enough, people around you are able to hear it as well. But you can change the volume if you just slide your finger on the right leg of the sunglasses. And when you push your hair back with the sunglasses, which most of us girlies just love to do, the sound continues but you have trouble hearing it. I would classify those pitfalls as pretty minor, but that obviously depends on the preferences of the individual user.

Unfortunately, my sunglasses died at the exact moment I made it to the top of the mountain on the first hike, so the built-in camera feature didn’t get the attention it deserved. However, the second hike lent itself some beautiful photos. And the quality was OUTSTANDING. I say that keeping in mind that these are still sunglasses, but the scenery was videoed and photographed at my eye level, which is a really cool perspective that you wouldn’t get from your phone. Just check out some photos and videos I took below to make the determination for yourself.

In order to snag pics, there is a right side button that you can easily click on and off. The sunglasses will make a beeping noise to let you know when it starts recording and when you successfully end the recording. Or, you can just say, “Hey Facebook, stop recording,” and the feature will do it for you. It’s pretty much Siri but in a different font. You then have to download the content on the app, but make sure you're on Wifi or it will not complete.

With the overall capabilities, I think the price point is worth the splurge — especially if you are sick of earbuds and describe yourself as a more tech-driven individual. I honestly was pleasantly surprised that the set price of the glasses are $299. While that definitely is a good chunk of money, the glasses are a technological investment similar to your computer or phone, so it’s really up to you to determine what you're willing to spend your hard earned cash on. I will say though — they look super cute with any outfit! 😎

14 ’90s Home Decor Trends We’re Still In Love With Today

The '90s introduced decorating trends like neutral color palettes with beige, taupe, and white leading the way. Pops of color like hunter green, burgundy, and navy were always in the mix too. Floral prints were everywhere, from upholstery to wallpaper borders, and sponge-painted walls gave spaces a textured look. I remember helping my mom prep my sister’s nursery with a wallpaper border and sponge-painting our bathroom walls in a peachy hue. Oak cabinets and light wood furniture were staples, often paired with brass or gold accents (sound familiar?). There were also glass block walls, track lighting, and oversized sectional sofas. Southwestern motifs and geometric patterns were also popular, while inflatable furniture and lava lamps gave tween rooms a playful vibe. While some of these trends are being reimagined by designers today, others are best left within the confines of our '90s nostalgia.

Here are all the '90s decorating trends we still love today.

1. Stencils

Etsy

Etsy Nadia Indian Block Print Allover Stencil

Wall stencils were huge in the '90s, offering an easy way to add decorative patterns and borders to any room. From floral designs to geometric shapes, stencils were the O.G. approach to DIY-ing walls. Modern stenciling techniques are making a stylish and more subtle comeback. I especially love this block print look for an elevated rustic vibe.

2. Wallpaper Borders

Etsy

Etsy Classic Scallop Border Wall Sticker

Unlike my mom's wallpaper border that needed to be scraped and sanded off, modern varieties are stick on and removable and so much easier to deal with. Plus, they come in fun prints and shapes like this scallop border.

3. Textured Walls

Gavin Cater

I don't know that I'll ever love sponge-painting again, but rustic home decor is making a solid comeback with Pinterest searches for Spanish Mediterranean kitchens and Mexican farmhouse on the rise (think earthy patterns and textures like plaster). This bathroom designed by Los Angeles design firm Bungalowe uses microcement on the walls for an imperfect and natural look that's so gorgeous.

4. Hunter Green

DeVOL Kitchens

Hunter green is back. Find it in kitchen cabinet colors, wall color, and furnishings. This project by DeVOL Kitchens, a renowned design-led manufacturer of bespoke kitchens, uses the color in one of its iconic UK-based kitchen designs.

5. Ruffles

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Lorelei Irena Accent Chair

Pleated skirts on sofas and chairs are making their way back as a response to a new romantic trend.

6. Burgundy

CB2

CB2 Monte Oak Wood and Rose Velvet Dining Chair

NYC-based designer Nicholas Obeid designed this dining chair with FSC-certified American red oak and a plush velvet in a deep, rich burgundy color that I want for my dining room ASAP. It's giving '90s but in a sophisticated way.

7. Floral Everything

Cari Field

The '90s embraced all the florals. Fast forward to today, James and Christine of Stewart-Schafer thoughtfully renovated their clients' 200-year-old home in Connecticut with a stunning floral wallpaper and I'm obsessed!

8. Pastels

Urban Outfitters

UO Roma Sofa

I will never not love pastels, especially in the Danish variety.

9. Wicker Furniture

Greenrow

Greenrow Seagrass Occasional Loveseat

Word on the street is that wicker is making a comeback, but in an elevated way. Gone are the bulky porch furniture sets in stark white. This natural seagrass chair is the modern version of your '90s wicker.

10. Bedskirts

Greenrow

Greenrow Vintage Bedskirt

Sleek platform beds are making way for the return of the bedskirt and I'm not sad about it.

11. Tassels

Wayfair

Hadiqa Upholstered Barrel Chair

Tassels were everywhere in '90s decor, often used as embellishments on curtain tiebacks, lampshades, and throw pillows. Think heavy drapes in jewel tones held back with gold tasseled cords, a fringed lampshade, bedspreads and furniture skirts, adding texture and movement. Well, they're back and pretty beautiful IMO.

12. Oak Cabinets

Oak cabinets you'll find today are clean and minimal compared to the ones back then, but they are just as popular. Alice Arterberry of Austin-based design firm Arterberry Cooke and Danny Spears of Captex Construction designed this stunning Austin kitchen in oak, from cabinets to floors.

13. Tropical

PB Teen

PB Teen Palm Chandelier

Tropical decor has become timeless, blending playful charm with laid-back elegance. From bold, exotic wallpapers to whimsical chandeliers like this one, it’s the perfect way to bring relaxed, vacation-inspired vibes to your home.

14. Neutral Color Palettes

The quiet luxury aesthetic of neutral color palettes will always bring a soothing and serene feeling to spaces and I'm ok with still loving it, even as color starts to take over our spaces. There's always space for warm minimalism!
