February Favorites

March 11, 2020

Hello, loves!
It’s been a while, and while I didn’t want to make the jump for the longest time…. uhm OK, it’s been a year… I updated to the new version of WordPress! So you’ll maybe not see as big of a change as I do, but from the writer’s perspective, everything is new and confusing again 🤣

Anyway, what this post is actually about is my February Favorites, aka my most loved looks from last month. I even threw in a couple of fun ones at the bottom that I haven’t shared to IG yet!
Tell me which is your favorite look in the comments below!

February Favorites - Perfect Wedding Guest Dress from ASOS

Not the greatest quality pic, but I felt like a GODDESS in this ASOS gown. It JUST went on sale down to $71, but they have other colors like Sage, Blue, and a shorter version in Mauve, all perfect for Spring wedding guest options. I decided to bring down the slits a little bit, and I sewed them to stop right above the knee. Fair warning if you want the leg showing to be a little more modest. Also recommend fashion tape for the top!

Rent the Runway fur coat at Uncommon James Chicago

I debated including this outfit, due to my recent (horrific) experience with Rent the Runway, but I was OBSESSED with this jacket, I kept it for a couple weeks and wore it multiple times, including when I went to purchase this necklace at Uncommon James. Which, by the way, if you’re in the Chicago area and are sleeping on this store, I would recommend heading there ASAP! So many gorgeous delicate gold pieces to choose from.

Modcloth Plus Size Spring Fashion

OK, but how cute was this dress for Valentine’s Day?! I partnered with Modcloth to share some of their collection for the holiday, and I think this was my favorite piece. I also showed off my mini bag find from Goodwill that I added a rhinestone lip pin to. Love a good thrifted find!

Amazon Favorites - Animal Print Sweater

I took a while to hop on this jaguar sweater trend. I also ordered it non-Prime so it took over a month to get to me 😆 Thankfully, it’s now available with two day shipping so y’all don’t have to wait nearly as long. I wore it to social hour at Le Colonial, one of Gold Coast’s iconic spots.

Michael Kors fur coat for winter

Flashing back to the snowier times last month, my Michael Kors coat that I bought last spring has been coming in clutch for any days that dip down below 30 degrees. Also I wear the heck out of these fleece-lined leggings from Hue. I stocked up when they were on Amazon for $22 a pair!

Modcloth Spring Lookbook Plus Model

Another look from Modcloth, this time in the most spring-tastic hues! The blouse was a bit oversized on me (1X), so it tucked perfectly in to the geometric print skirt. Paired with white ankle booties and a knit beret to add some of that vintage flair I love.

And now, for a couple of sneak peeks!

February Favorites - Amazon top for Spring

Another recent Amazon find, this top is SUPER soft, and I love the little crochet-like trim. I sized up to an XXL, because I wanted that breezy, oversized fit. It’s under $20 and I can see it in heavy rotation this spring/summer.

StitchFix Spring Look Review

Last but not least, this outfit that is a mix of old and new! The bag is thrifted from Goodwill, the top from my most recent StitchFix, Lee Jeans from Amazon, and near decade-old ankle boots from Target.

That’s all, folks, my February Favorites!
I love doing these round-ups, because they show me what pieces/colors/styles I gravitated towards the most. I’m definitely ready to bring back springtime trends and hues, and fun detailing like pleats, trim, and embroidery.

FabFitFun Fall Reveal

October 19, 2016

FabFitFun Fall RevealA new season has arrived, and with it, the FabFitFun fall reveal!
I was definitely looking forward to this box, because I knew it would be full of pretty little things to make the best of the cooler weather. I’ve broken down all of the contents of this subscription box into a couple of categories, because there was just so much jam-packed in to it! Read all the way to the bottom for a $10 off discount code 😉

FabFitFun Fall Reveal - Coloring Book and Pencils Coloring book & coloring pencils – FabFitFun
I was stoked to receive another coloring book and new pencils! I thoroughly enjoy the one I already have, which is of underwater creatures, but was in need of a more beginner-level version. This one is full of flowers and other pretty things and each page can be completed in a night, as opposed to a week for the larger, more detailed designs. I also think it’s fantastic that when purchasing add-ons, I was given the option to donate to Pencils of Promise, a global community that’s focused on increasing access of quality education for children in developing countries.

FabFitFun Fall Reveal - Eyeshadow Palette, Lipgloss Quad and Brow GelNow for the makeup, always one of my favorite categories!
I’ve held off on getting any of the Naked palettes, for one reason or another, and it must have been because I knew that this Nude Collection palette from Pure Cosmetics ($50) was coming my way. I’ve found the pigments to be true, long-wearing, and I love that this palette can take your eye look from natural to super-smoky depending on the shades you use.
The Cargo lip gloss quad was an add-on purchase for $9 (down from $20). I’ve been a longtime fan of Cargo and the classic tin packaging is definitely nostalgic for me, as I used to collect them about a decade ago!
Always in search of the perfect brow products, I generally prefer a tinted gel, because I think they look more natural and add a bit of pigment to brows. This water-resistant version from The Browgal is clear, but I do like that it holds brows in place through working out and a night of dancing.

FabFitFun Fall Reveal - Skincare Essentials The Purlisse sunscreen ($9) was an add-on, and a product I already know that I love. It’s a perfect combination of moisturizer and sunscreen and does a great job at both.
The Skin Laundry Restoring Night Serum ($50) I have only remembered to use a couple of times, to be honest, because washing my face is the last thing I do before going to sleep and most nights I’m so tired, I simply forget! I have noticed my skin nice and smooth when I wake up, and I’m definitely going to take it with me when I travel.
I’ve never been a fan of body oils, because I feel that they are always so messy! They get all over the bottle, the counter, and anything you touch after using them. I can’t say that this French Lavender mini version from Mullein & Sparrow ($18) is any different, because pouring oil out of a glass bottle is decidedly not the cleanest method of dispensing it, but I do feel that it left my skin moisturized and I loved the delicate lavender scent.

FabFitFun Fall Reveal - Yoga Essentials (That’s what I get for wearing a hot pink shirt while using a reflector haha!)
I added on this Cucio Somatology Yoga Essentials Kit for $19 and I’ve already made great use of it. The Mat Spray leaves a gorgeous fresh scent on something that rarely smells gorgeous or fresh. I also love the balancing lotion and oil for giving me a sense of calm if I’m feeling a little stressed out.
I already own another pair of toeless foot socks, but these from Toesox ($18) will definitely come in handy once those get worn out. They’re a great addition to your Pilates or yoga practice.

FabFitFun Fall Reveal - Greeting Cards, Coffee Mug, Shower Gel SpongeLast but not least, the fun stuff!
The Ban.do greeting card set ($10) was a great find. The cheeky sayings and cute pictures will brighten up the day of my friends and family when I send them off.
I really wanted the coffee cup that said “good morning, gorgeous!” because that’s what Mark says to me every morning, but instead I got the “joy comes in the morning” saying. I’ve only used this cup once and I was not impressed. My tea that was boiling hot at home was room temp by the time I got to work. It also made a whistling noise when I sipped from the cup. Not my favorite.
Another kind of odd item is the Spongelle Bulgarian Rose Body Wash Infused Buffer ($16). It smells divine, first and foremost, but it’s not very practical. You could never travel with it, I can’t imagine it drying out properly between uses, and I can’t imagine it’s going to last enough uses to make it worth the retail price tag.
Who couldn’t use another plaid scarf for fall?! Again, I was hoping for a different version, but I guess that’s why it makes it more ideal to purchase the year of FabFitFun boxes in advance. That way, you get to have options and choose the version you like best. I’ll still gets tons of use out of this black and white Loch and Key blanket scarf from Modcloth ($35).

All in all, this box was DEFINITELY worth the price of admission. It contains over $250 worth of items for $49.99. If you’re interested in signing up for the FabFitFun Fall box (they’re still available!) or the upcoming winter box, feel free to use my link here and code “FALL20” when checking out for $10 off your first box, making it only $39.99!
