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 😀

July Stitch Fix Review

July 20, 2017

Hello, bombshells!
Another month, another fix! As this seemingly endless heat continues, I’m so happy that my Stitch Fix stylist sent over a bunch of fun items appropriate for the season. I pretty much always request more maxi dresses, and this time I had two great ones to choose from. I ended up choosing two items this round; keep reading on to view my July Stitch Fix Review to find out which ones I fell in love with!
Top & Cropped pants / Stitch Fix // Heeled sandals / Abound at Nordstrom Rack // Choker / JustFab // Sunnies / Amazon

I had requested something off-shoulder or open-shoulder and while I wasn’t in love with this top right out of the box, it definitely did grow on me! Same goes for the pants. I was like “hello, 90’s” and not in a good way, but when I slipped them on, I realized how versatile they could be. The price tag had me wincing though, so they went back. The top, I felt I would get plenty of use out of through summer and beyond, (this is SoCal after all), so I kept it.
Top, $54, kept; Cropped cargos, $118.

Dress / Stitch Fix // Platforms / JustFab // Necklace / LA find // Sunnies / Amazon

The first of two lovely maxis this fix, this blue, black and tan printed material felt so luxe and great against my skin. I adore the faux wrap front and knotted straps. It also hugged my curves in all the right places, and even though some styles like this gape at the bust because I’m smaller-chested, this one didn’t!
Maxi dress, $78, kept.

Plaid top & Cropped cargos / Stitch Fix // T-shirt / Old Navy // Necklace / J. Crew // Sunnies / Amazon // Sneakers / Target

I was happy to see a super soft plaid included in my box, but who the heck pays $88 for one? Not me. It wasn’t any better quality that I could detect than one from Old Navy or Forever 21. Super cute but not worth near $100 with tax.
Button-down, $88, returned.

Dress / Stitch Fix // Sandals / Steve Madden // Necklace / LA find // Sunnies / Amazon

So, this dress… I wanted to love. The print is lovely, it fit well, the little crochet bit was really pretty, and a great length to wear with flats. The only downside was that I realized it was also $78, like the dress I ended up keeping, and that spending over $150 on two maxi dresses was not the wisest decision. This print/crochet also brought to mind something I might be able to find at the mall for $30, so this one went back.

All in all, my July Stitch Fix was WAY out of my price-range, and I let my stylist know it. Apparently, my previous stylist, whom I loved, has left the company. Jessica chose some really cute items, but not within my budget at all. The total for these items before discount was $416, and $312 after. No, thank you.
When I reached out with my feedback of the fix, the customer service team wrote back to reassure me that it wouldn’t happen again. I have my profile set to “as cheap as it gets”, with the exception of outerwear which I’m willing to spend a little more on. All things considered, I kept the cold-shoulder top and the polka dot maxi dress. Not my best fix, but overall I was happy with what I kept.
I hope you enjoyed my July Stitch Fix Review!
Until next fix 😉

Latest Stitch Fix Review & Giveaway!

June 16, 2017

Hello, loves!
This month’s Stitch Fix review is extra special because I’ve partnered with them for a giveaway! More to come after all of the details of my most recent fix, and spoiler alert, it was a GOOD one 😀

Top & Jeans (and necklace from a previous fix) / Stitch Fix // Bracelet / Kyle Chan Design // Mules / Abound at Nordstrom Rack // Jacket / Gap // Sunnies / Amazon // Crossbody bag / Forever 21
My stylist thought I would love this pair of colored denim.. And she was right! They fit well and actually pair really nicely with solids and print tops. I didn’t notice they are “cropped” which for this pair means just a touch above my ankle. I’ve had this issue before with cropped pairs, that it doesn’t look intentional, so I cuffed these up a bit.
The top is definitely up my alley as well, combining some of my favorite things… Floral print, polka dots and lace! It was tiny bit snug around my hips, but nothing too uncomfortable to stop me from wearing it.
Jeans, $78 and top, $48, kept.

Cardigan & jeans / Stitch Fix // Wedges / JustFab (similar) // Blouse / Daniel Rainn at Nordstrom Rack
See, these jeans pair well with so many things! I was super excited to pull out this embroidered, dolman-sleeve cardigan, right up until I noticed the long sleeves, eek! It’s 96 degrees outside right now, so I will have to reserve this piece for cooler nights or bring it back out around fall. Still a keeper though, because it’s just so cute!
Cardigan, $58, kept.

Kimono / Stitch Fix // T-shirt / Aerie // Jeans & bag / Old Navy // Wedges / JustFab // Necklace / Sweet Lola // Sunnies / YHF Los Angeles from the Box of Style
A $28 light layering piece in a cute print, come on! This kimono I knew I was definitely going to keep. I could wear it over a black tank dress, with a black tee and jeans, or even over my swimsuit. Such an easy “third-piece” item.
Kimono, $28, kept.

Top / Stitch Fix // Jeans / Old Navy // Necklace / eBay // Flats / Sole Society (similar)
Last but not least, this elevated basic grey top. It does look kind of plain from the front, so I added a lovely (and sparkly!) statement necklace to jazz it up a bit. I love the knotted detail on the back and can see myself pairing it with a little lacy bralette peeking out as summer progresses, or when fall comes around again, a vivid print scarf.
Top, $38, kept.

All in all, I kept… Everything!
I was super happy with this fix.. From the fit of the items, to how well they suit my clothing personality, and the price points were very reasonable for me.

CONTEST ENDED!! Now on to the fun stuff! I’ve partnered with Stitch Fix to offer one lucky winner a $50 gift card towards a fix!

Pastels & Snakeskin

June 3, 2017

Hello, loves!
I hate to admit it, but spring is coming to a close, and we’re already seeing glimpses of a super warm summer ahead. Looking ahead, I envision lazy days, spent lounging around a friend’s pool, drinking beer or fruity cocktails, suffering a half hour in line just to get some tasty ice cream (a la minute, tryyyy it), and working out at 5 am in the dark, simply because it’s exhausting to just walk outside after 10AM.
Until then, I’m still rocking the soft pastels, feminine vibes, and my favorite of the season, bomber jackets. This time around, I wanted to pair the softer tones of blush and baby blue with slick black denim and snakeskin. I love mixing super girly pieces with more edgy ones, and I think these snakeskin pumps are the perfect accessory to tie everything together. Hope you enjoy the look!
