I just bought a new pair myself after 18 years with a Bolle the frame stretched a bit over time and started to slide down my nose as I rode. I tested a bunch of different brands of glasses myself at my LBS's in town and settled on a pair of Tifosi Podium with interchangeable capability, but mine came with just one Fototec All Terrain green lens, I like that I don't have to change the lens. I rode the other day at night and even though they always have a tint they didn't bother my eyesight the least bit while riding when it was dark. So I'll use the Bolle's when I drive.

too many to list but these are the two best things I got recently (and they were the cheapest ones too)
I think I'm gonna be buying more Defeet socks. I have a little sock-obsession at the moment and their socks have the perfect height and don't run down. I'm just wondering after how many washes until it does that though.

I like my DeFeet socks, but so far my favorites are from 4shaw, they're a bit more expensive, but they're a great height and have compression in all the right places.
They're super expensive on their website, but my shop sells them for $20/pair and I usually get a little extra off on top of that.

warranty from Specialized turns out to be a 2015 Tarmac Sport so now I really feel good about the 5800 brake set I bought. Just waiting for the new one to show up. Gallardo Orange was the only color available.

Specialized XC Lite glove. I always wear full finger gloves, and it's been 100 degrees here.
These are great -- no padding on the palm.

Just bought my first set of replacement/upgrade tires. Been running the stock Bontrager R1s, just purchased a set of Conti 4000s II in 700x25. Very excited to try out.

Sadly, Pedro's doesn't make saddle bags any longer. I bought an XLAB Mezzo Bag for my fixed gear bike.

Bought a card with 6 KMC MissingLinks on ebay. I have a few chains that are pin only and would like to be able to easily remove them for a thorough cleaning once and a while.
Also bought a used braze on FD-6503 for a Secteur build.
A few weeks back I bought a couple of high vis orange shirts for better visibility while riding. Everything looks about the same though. Maybe I just need new glasses.

Bought one of these. Going to totally Fred it up on the local MUP this weekend, towing my 20 month-old around the local MUP with my Titanium bike and SpeedPlay platform adapters.
