February Stitch Fix

February 27, 2017

February Stitch Fix - Floral Top and Cropped Frayed DenimHello, loves!
I present to you my February Stitch Fix! This month, I requested some lovely Spring-y items, something floral print (obviously), a light layering piece, and another pair of jeans. There was a bit of a mix up with my jean size, because in the last fix the uber-stretchy pants I bought I exchanged for a smaller size, so my stylist also sized down the not-so-stretchy jeans in this fix. They were WAY too snug, even to get past my thighs. Read on to see the rest of my February Stitch Fix!

I was super excited to take this black lace top out of the box, and was OBSESSED with the intricate detail on the sleeves. When I put it on, however, I felt it was quite boxy and just a touch short on me. It was a fantastic price, but I knew I didn’t feel comfortable in it.
Blouse, $44, returned.

This was my “light layering piece” that I had requested. I have to say, I was not impressed with this piece. The material was a chintzy waffle weave, and paired with the color, I felt like I should be headed off in the minivan to go pick up the kids at soccer practice. It was reasonably priced, but I couldn’t find many things to pair it with to keep it fresh and exciting, because this piece is far from exciting 🙁
Cardigan, $48, returned.

Haha, I feel like such a flasher in these pictures! That aside, I really did like the look and feel of this shirt. I love cute little saying t’s, however.. I live in Southern California and am highly sensitive to caffeine, soooo it feels a little disingenuous for me. Plus, I thought about the drawer full of t’s I never reach for so I knew it had to go back.
T-shirt, $34, returned.

I can’t tell you how happy I was to take this blouse out of the box, right before Valentine’s Day, so I would have something pretty to wear that day! It fit well, and I was obsessed with the print, so it was a no-brainer to hold on to it.
Blouse, $54, kept.

February Stitch Fix - Distressed JeansJeans / Stitch Fix
If these bad boys had fit, they would have been a definite keeper, and may have even inspired me to keep the rest of the lot. They were SOOOO infinitely small, allowing me to only get them up to my thighs. Not even my upper thighs, like my lower thighs. This is why I didn’t exchange them for a larger size, because I’m pretty sure upsizing wouldn’t have helped. A girl with curves like me needs some stretch in her jeans, you know what I mean?
Jeans, $54, returned.

All in all, I probably could have kept everything, but I’m trying to only bring in items I know I will get tons of use out of, and not all of these pieces spoke to me on that level. From my February Stitch Fix, I only kept the floral blouse, and I’m so happy with it.
For my next fix, I’ve requested another light layering piece, more florals, lace, and a white or navy crossbody bag. I can’t wait to see what my stylist picks!

Happy Valentine’s Day & Romantic Vibes

February 14, 2017

Happy Valentine's Day & Romantic Vibes Hello, loves! Happy Valentine’s Day!
I’m not going to lie and say that Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday, (which, oddly enough, happens to be the 4th of July), but it’s definitely in the top 5! Everything covered in red and pink, heart and lip shapes, and that special feeling you get surrounded by people you love. Even if you don’t have that “special someone” in your life, you do have many special someone’s, like your mom, your girlfriends, your coworkers.. Every one is fair game for sharing the love!

My look for Valentine’s this year is a little less on-the-nose. I wanted it to give off a romantic vibe, from the ivory lace poet sleeves to the lace-up nude heels, without being a lovely, yet uber safe, little red dress. I loved this top so much that I actually bought it in navy as well, which you’ll be seeing soon on Instagram!

From me and mine to you and yours, Happy Valentine’s Day!

December Stitch Fix

January 31, 2017

Hello, loves! Yes, I realize I’m a month behind on posting my fixes, but (if you haven’t read my previous post), I’ve had a lot going on! I love opening up that box every month and seeing what my stylist has selected for me. It’s like getting a care package from a friend! Well, one I have to pay for haha, but a fun gift to open nonetheless. For my December Stitch Fix, I requested a fun party dress, a metallic or embellished clutch, and a cozy sweater. I received two dresses, a clutch, a sweater and a pair of leggings. Read on to hear my thoughts on each and see how I styled them.

December Stitch Fix - Little Black Dress and Leopard Heels December Stitch Fix - LBD with black tights December Stitch Fix - Metallic Gold ClutchCocktail dress & metallic clutch / Stitch Fix // Peacoat / Victoria’s Secret (so sad they stopped making clothes!) // Necklace c/o Baublebar // Tights / Hue // Heels / Mossimo
The dress was unfortunately too big on me, I could have gone down a size. It honestly seemed a little young for me, and that’s one of the reasons I sent it back, along with the price. It kind of seemed like something I would find in the Junior’s “occasion” department at Kohls, and definitely not a piece I would pay $88 for. The clutch was SO cute, maybe a touch oversized for a night-out, but it had several nicks in it. Not sure if it was from a previous recipient who sent it back after using it or perhaps it was damaged during shipping. Either way, I expect things to arrive in “new” condition. Dress and clutch, $38, returned.

This I believe was the second attempt at a fun party dress, but I was just not feeling this print for December. I feel like it maybe could have worked in summer, but I didn’t see it as an ideal holiday option.
Dress, $118, returned.

December Stitch Fix - Burgundy Sweater and Leggings December Stitch Fix - Cutout Sweater DetailSweater and leggings / Stitch Fix // Necklace / Rocksbox // Flats / BCBGeneration // Bag / Forever 21
I became a little obsessed with how soft this sweater was and the saturated wine hue. Even though it kiiinda shows my bra straps without some frequent adjusting, I found it so cozy that I wore it for a couple days in a row, with a little fabric refresher in-between. The leggings were great and felt very supportive, but I felt that I could have done better on the price.
Sweater, $58, kept, leggings, $78, returned.

Overall, just the sweater was a keeper from my December Stitch Fix. I think the price points were still a little high for my liking, and the damaged item was definitely not great to discover. Overall, not my most inspired fix, but my next one was much better, and it should it up very soon!

NYE Party Ready with Rent the Runway

December 31, 2016

NYE Party Ready with Rent the Runway - Nicole Miller LBDHello, loves!
Happy New Years Eve!! I’m beyond excited to bring you another look from Rent the Runway, perfect for NYE and beyond. One of my favorite night-out formulas is to take an LBD (preferably one that has lovely details, like an interesting neckline or sleeves), add metallic accessories and a rockin’ pair of heels. Classy, festive, and fun! Let me say that I’m not opposed to a sequin mini dress or floor-length metallic gown for the celebration (I actually love both options), but they’re also a commitment, and hard to justify buying such a statement look that you will likely only want to wear for one night a year! I know it’s probably a vanity thing, but I prefer to wear super special dresses just once, and associate them with that lovely occasion. That’s why I prefer renting dresses for events! Rent the Runway makes it so easy to search by style, length, neckline, formality.. Basically, you can narrow down their thousands of choices to a handful that are perfect for whatever you want to dress up for. I’ve used their services for media events, parties, weddings, and most recently, my own birthday brunch! Consider them for your next special occasion in 2017 to make the event even more memorable.
Whichever way you go, sparkly H to T, or understated luxe, I hope you all have a fun, safe, and fantastic New Years Eve!! Looking forward to sharing with you all next year 😀
