Dark Florals & Jord Wood Watch Giveaway

August 15, 2017

Hello, loves!
I seriously can not get over how quickly this year has gone by! Admittedly, the first couple months of 2017 were a little blurry for Mark and I, with two family members passing away and a flood in our front room, but even still, I feel like it was April just yesterday! Another month of summer, and fall will already be upon us.
Planning ahead a bit, I’m loving the idea of bringing florals in to fall. Let’s be honest, I could wear them all year round, but some of the neon and pastel florals don’t really translate well into colder weather. I’ve found that sticking to prints that have either a dark background (grey, navy, black), or ones that have autumnal-themed flowers (red, plum, yellow, orange), can give a piece a lot more versatility in terms of being able to wear it seamlessly throughout the year. I love pairing florals with more substantial jewelry pieces, like a statement necklace, or an oversized watch. The rose gold trim and purpleheart links of this Jord watch make it the perfect transition piece into fall and winter.
I’ve been a longtime fan of Jord, and when they reached out and offered to hold a giveaway for my readers and followers, I was all about it! I think the wooden watches are really cool, and I especially love the uniqueness of the one I picked out. Details of the giveaway are at the bottom of this post 😀

Ruffle Floral Midi Dress

July 13, 2017

Hello, loves!
Sorry for the procrastination that led to not getting this post up sooner, but I feel like I’ve been stuck in vacation mode ever since Mark and I returned from the Central Coast. We had so much fun celebrating his 30th birthday, from dining with a view of the Morro rock, to exploring the private cottages at Hearst Castle, to wine-tasting on a walking tour in Santa Barbara.. Why would anyone ever want to return to real life? But alas, we’re both back to work and braving this Southern California heat. I guess it makes it all the more special and exciting to look forward to the next fun trip!
Speaking of special, this dress from I Shop Simply immediately caught my eye when I came across it on their site, thanks to the vivid print and cute little ruffle detail on the skirt. I pictured myself twirling around town in it, which I of course had to demonstrate! Be sure to use the code created for my readers, “dressedfortime” to save 15% on your order. I’ve also been loving these heeled sandals from JustFab. They’re called “Sanoura” and I own them in 5 colors! The Green and Cobalt Velvet are on super sale right now. Comfy, cute and reasonably priced.. I’m sensing a theme here 😉

Day Date Maxi Look

June 25, 2017

Hello, loves! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite maxi dresses for summer, the Kaia from Ellie & Adair. It’s definitely an item I would call an elevated basic, because it’s simple and can be dressed up or down, but it has some extra little details. This maxi features collarbone-grazing cutouts, knee-high slits, and… pockets! It’s also the softest stretch material and is so comfy to lounge around in, or it can totally be dressed up for a day date or the material at the bottom can be tied and worn for a GNO with some heeled sandals and a statement necklace.

When pulling the accessories to bring this dress to life, I knew I wanted to keep it playful and casual. I grabbed the necklace to add some color and a touch of glam, the sandals for comfort and simplicity, a denim button down for texture, and a crossbody bag only big enough for the essentials. I felt the look was missing something, so I tried on this panama hat. Just in case you all hadn’t noticed, I rarely wear hats, and only own a handful. They’re just not an accessory I reach for, and I think that’s because I am under the impression that I have an oddly shaped head. Most hats just don’t fit my head right! I love a floppy sun hat, but most fedoras, caps, etc., I think are super unflattering on me. This one though called to me, and I’ve worn it several times since purchasing. I thought it perfectly went along with the casual, not-trying-too-hard vibe I was going for, and totally a look I would wear for a day date with the boyfriend.

If you love this dress as much as I do, you can shop it now at Ellie & Adair, just make sure to use code VIP15 at checkout to save 15% off your total purchase AND free shipping!

PS by Just Fab Review & Crochet Bomber Look

May 6, 2017

Hello, my dears!
Today I wanted to share with you my experience with a new styling service called PS by JustFab. I’ve been a member of JustFab for some time now, and love 95% of the shoes I’ve purchased from them. I’d been looking into their clothing selections for a bit, but noticed the reviews for clothing are much harder to come by than for shoes and bags. I didn’t want to take a chance on something, not knowing how their sizing runs, the quality, etc. When I saw that JustFab was now offering a styling service, I got super excited! I do love my ongoing subscription to StitchFix, but it can get a bit pricey. With JustFab’s more moderate price points, I took a chance and signed up for a box!
I filled out a detailed survey, paid a $20 styling fee, and within a couple weeks, a shipment arrived at my door. Inside was a statement necklace, a crochet bomber (pictured), an embroidered jacket, distressed jeans, and an off-the-shoulder tunic. Everything comes wrapped up, with a price list and return mailer. Starting from the top, the statement necklace definitely caught my eye. It’s three layers, and definitely eye-catching and unlike anything I currently owned. The crochet bomber seemed a touch baggy but I loved the color and the texture. The embroidered jacket was OK, but other than with a white or black top and jeans, I couldn’t think of anything else to pair it with. The jeans were WAY too tight, didn’t have any stretch, and I couldn’t get them up past the middle of my thighs. Lastly, the tunic was very baggy around the hips but super snug around the chest, which rarely happens to me, so the sizing on this one was very off.
I decided to keep just the necklace, because nothing else I was completely over the moon about. I sent the other items back a couple days later, and was actually looking forward to my next shipment. I checked out online, but when I looked at my receipt, it said my total was $41.50, odd, because the necklace was only $19.95 plus tax.
I reached out to the customer service department at PS by JustFab to voice my concern about the mis-charge on my account. She informed me that because the item I kept wasn’t over $20, that I was also being charged a $20 styling fee. We went back and forth about the fine print not saying $20 pre-tax, but she was not helpful at all and refused to get a manager for me to speak with. Basically, my only option was to keep another item from my box, to not be charged a separate styling fee. I guess this was sort of a blessing in disguise, because I realized how much I loved this crochet bomber jacket!
To wrap it up, due to the lack of stellar customer service, I probably won’t be using the PS by JustFab styling service again, but I’m open to purchasing solo pieces from the website. And I can’t seem to get enough of their shoes!
I’d love to know.. What are your subscription services? Do they end up sending you just the things you never knew you needed or do they not get your sense of style at all? Which ones have you tried?
