My Love Of Julep

October 30, 2016

My Love Of Julep - Free 12 Piece SetHi loves!
So, in case you didn’t already know, I’m OBSESSED with nail polish. I’ve been doing my own nails, with the exception of a random manicure here and there for a special occasion, for a couple of decades now. Which typing right now makes me feel kind of old haha! Moving on, I really do enjoy playing around with polishes and effects and being able to change my color on a whim. Polish is such a cheap, easy way to freshen up a look! I’ll pick a color based on the outfit I want to wear, or a mood I’m in, so it makes sense that I would have 12 different shades of hot pink, right? Right. Enter my love of Julep.
I was first introduced to Julep when I came across a Facebook offer for “try us out, get a free 12 pc set of polishes.” The catch was that I needed to sign up for a monthly subscription service for beauty products. Not the worst thing, and I knew that I could cancel whenever I wanted. I went with the 3 months prepaid so it worked out to $19.99/mo. I LOVED the polishes that I got, pictured above. What happened next, I admit was a touch confusing. First, there is a “Maven Window” time frame… They offer up a possible set of items, ranging from polish to eye shadow to skincare and give you a few days to decide. If you don’t like something, you can swap it out or choose another set. You can also add on more items, which I so frequently do, even the whole month’s collection. You can also add on single items, like polishes at a big discount (sometimes $5 a pop), and items from past collections, pick 3 or more and they’ll throw in an extra little gift.
After that window has closed, the “Secret Store” opens. Here they have even more discounted items to add to your box. If you don’t want to go crazy with add-ons, just stick to your curated box and wait for it to arrive in the mail! I’ve enjoyed every box I’ve received, and always look forward to the next, and choosing items from the newest collection.
Julep is offering the same deal again to new subscribers; a 12 piece polish collection when you sign up for the monthly boxes, which you can cancel at any time. Use my link here and enter code FREEFALL.
Below are some of the boxes I’ve received. A little disclaimer, I purchased add-ons for all but one of the months. The standard boxes contain 2-4 items.

$50+ Beauty Wishlist & Gift Guide

December 1, 2015

From left to right, top to bottom rows
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12

A girl can dream, right? Haha!
I wanted to break down my wishlists & holiday gift guides this year by type (beauty, accessories, shoes, etc.) and also by cost. All of the items I’ll be posting are things that I would be elated to give or receive 😀
If you know me at all, you know I enjoy making lists. It’s the first thing I do when considering the daunting task of figuring out the perfect gifts for my friends and loved ones. I ask for them early and sometimes even try to coordinate and pool resources with other people if there is a pricier item on the list that I think the recipient would love to own.
I think beauty sets are probably my favorite things to give and receive. The bright colors, the plethora of options, and just the idea of getting something pretty always puts a smile on my face.
What is your favorite gift to give?

Black & White Print Mixing

November 16, 2015

DFT University Grads72Something that even I will admit to falling in to is a work-wear rut. The same pieces keep making appearances day in and day out… You know the ones! Those black pants, worn-out flats and basic button-downs that are so uninspiring to wear (and to see others wear!) That is why, every now and then, I like to shock my work wardrobe with some decidedly non-basic pieces. This striped midi skirt, even if worn with a plain black top, is still going to bring some personality to your look. Same goes with the sheer windowpane print top- paired with skinny black pants and booties, some killer jewelry and even layered with a cardi and you’ve got a smart, work-appropriate, but not staid, look!
Accessories are also great for breaking up the monotony, and I always try to incorporate a piece with a couple colors to compliment a black & white ensemble.
