AFFORDABLE CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION BOX | NADINE WEST UNBOXING

July 29, 2019 & Leave a Comment


Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope you’ve been having a great summer! I did something exciting with my husband which is a FULLY OPEN DISNEY INSPIRED DISNEY SMALL SHOP! AH! Let me know what you think!

I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for well over a year now on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

What is Nadine West?

NadineWest.com is a company that sends you an outfit to try on and you keep only what you love. The outfit is a surprise, but you take a style quiz and the stylists get to know your style more each month. The outfits are affordable with pieces costing about $10-$30 each, which is very affordable compared to other similar services.

How Does Nadine West Work? 

On the Nadine West website, you take the style quiz so that the stylist can get to know what you are looking for in an outfit. You will receive a pink package in the mail with your personalized outfit. Try on the outfit and keep what you love and send back what you don’t.

My Thoughts On Nadine West 

The style quiz was super easy to do, which was great because I wanted something that didn’t take too much time but I was still able to make notes to make sure the stylist knew my preferences. I really loved the surprise aspect of this, and it was like opening up a girly gift from a really stylish friend. I cannot stand having to return things, it is such a bummer, but I LOVE the way this company does it because your outfit comes with return shipping.

Nadine West Coupon Code 

Use the referral code “Nadine” on NadineWest.com (not an affiliate code for me, just sharing the one they currently have on their website) to waive your shipping fee which means you’ll get your outfit in the mail without paying anything!

Nadine West Unboxing

This was a great box for me! I got two pairs of shorts that I love, one olive pair that is ridiculously comfortable and I love the way they look with a cotton tank tucked in. I also got a pair of blush-colored shorts with white striped that look beautiful with a white or blush colored tank. I got a burgundy shirt with lace short sleeves that is pretty, but the neutral-loving girl in me knows I won’t gravitate to it often. I got an orangey-red and white striped dress that I LOVE because it is super stretchy, comfortable, and flattering but I wish it was a color I liked a bit better on myself. I prefer blue-toned red and of course, navy or black would have worked well for my color preferences. If you like that dress on me, let me know and if you think I should pass on it, let me know. My FAVORITE item in the box is a pair of nautical vibe pants that are white with blue pinstripes that flare out at the ankle. I wore them with a blue halter tank top (*similar). I also received a few floral items, but I prefer dots, stripes, or solids. I also did not like the jewelry I got this month.

Nadine West Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style. I would love to see some simple, neutral-colored maxi dresses for spring, too. I would rather receive two or three nicer items than a lot of pieces that aren’t as nice of quality.

Have you tried any fashion boxes like this? Have you tried Nadine West? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Have a wonderful rest of your week! Thank you for reading! xx

Nadine West Unboxing 

This month was a decent box for me. I got a really cute black romper with white stripes that I will definitely wear, but it’s a tad short and I wish it was just a bit longer. I got a beautiful silky fabric black top with white flowers that I like because I am a neutrals girl but this pattern is neutral enough that I’ll wear it. I really love the zipper detail on this top, too! I got a pair of denim shorts that are cute on in the front, but the back I do not like so I will be returning them. I got a gorgeous pair of trousers that I LOVE because I can dress them up for presentations or work conferences, but also wear them casually. They even look cute with sneakers OR heels, bonus! I also got a pair of blue stripe floral shorts that are so pretty but wrinkle easily so I know I won’t reach for them often. One of my favorites out of this box is the earrings, which are gold teardrop shaped studs with a blingy but classy with a cubic zirconia stone in the center.

Nadine West Unboxing 

This month my Nadine West box was awesome! I received a pair of pull-on trousers that are ankle length and a midrise that have a tweed-like fabric. These pants are awesome for work and I love that they can easily transition to a night out with a silky cami or blouse. The white tee with a lace-up detail is a great neutral that can also be dressed up or down. An off-white teeshirt with a few details like cuffed sleeves is a great neutral that I will get a lot of use. I love the look of the blush pair of shorts with a crochet lace detail, but they’re too short for me to feel comfortable wearing out and about. I got a pair of incredibly soft black, white, and pink floral shorts that I’ve already worn twice bumming around the house. This month for jewelry I received a black and gold necklace that I liked much better on than when I first opened it. I also got a stunning pair of druzy dangling earrings that I can’t wait to find an excuse to wear!

The Perfect Wedge Sneaker | Linea Paolo Wedge Bootie

June 3, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have been loving the look of the wedge sneaker, and casually keeping my eyes out for a pair for the past year or so (clearly wasn’t in a rush, was I?) because when it comes to clothes I am picky and know exactly what I like. I went to The Haven Conference (one of the BEST experiences so far for me in 2019, want to join me for the next one? Click here!) and one of the speakers (Kerry, owner of Reset Brain + Body) was rocking blush wedge sneakers that were THE ONES so naturally, I asked her about them. Today I am going to share them with you.

Linea Paolo Felicia Wedge Bootie

My favorite thing about these Linea Paolo Wedge Sneakers is that they come in so many colors and materials! You can get them in 17 different colors and materials (suede, perforated suede, or perforated leather).

About the Felicia Wedge Bootie:

  • 2 1/2″ heel; 1/2″ platform
  • 3″ shaft
  • Side zip closure
  • Leather upper and lining/rubber sole

Linea Paolo Felicia Wedge Bootie Review

What made me fall in love with this wedge bootie by Linea Paolo is the perfect blend of a sporty sneaker and a chic, beautifully made wedge bootie that can be dressed up or down. The sole is sporty, which is a cool contrast to the rest of the shoe. I am a mother of three who works from home, so while I love heels I don’t wear them on a day-to-day, so a wedge is a great option.

I opted for black perforated leather and it is a gorgeous, soft leather that had that incredible leather smell as soon as I slipped them out of the box. I wore these walking around Chicago and for a presentation for The Rising Tide Society. I love that I can wear these casually with jeans, slouchy joggers, or leggings OR dress them up with trousers, leather pants, or a dress. I am completed in love with them. The price? A little more than I typically spend (Target, I’m looking at you, come out with your own version of these) but they’re so well-made and compliment generating that I think they’re worth it.

Hi there! Happy Monday!

And if you’re in the United States, Happy Memorial Day! I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for well over a year now on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

Nadine West Unboxing 

I received a great box this month! I was so impressed with how much I got, but I didn’t keep most of it because I am pretty picky about my clothes. I LOVE the floral romper, and even though I am not into florals, I will definitely be keeping this. Do you know all the adorable girls from The Bachelor franchise? It reminds me of something they would wear. I also got a pair of navy jogger style leggings that are great because they’re comfortable but look more put together than regular leggings. I also got a long floral kimono that is gorgeous but I think I’ll be passing along to a friend. I got a pair of really fun paper bag green shorts that I like, but wish they weren’t so easily wrinkled. I got several pieces of jewelry that I am not keeping, but one pretty delicate bracelet with a turquoise colored stone that is a beautiful touch to any summer look. 

Nadine West Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box.

I would rather receive two or three nicer items than a lot of pieces that aren’t as nice of quality.

NADINE WEST UNBOXING |AFFORDABLE STYLE SUBSCRIPTION

April 22, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

If you celebrate, I hope that you had a wonderful Easter with your loved ones!  I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for well over a year now on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

What Did I Get?

I got a few floral pieces, sunglasses, and shorts that I will not be keeping. I got a gorgeous bright blue, super fitted midi dress that I think will be fun in the summer with a cute denim jacket on the top. I also got a pair of muted coral color pants and a long necklace. 

What Did I Like? What Missed the Mark?

I sent back the louder floral prints because I prefer more neutrals, and for prints, I prefer stripes or polka dots. The sunglasses felt cheap, and too light, which is unfortunate because I’ve found sunglasses that I love at Walmart, so it isn’t because I am a sunglasses snob. I also got a pair of shorts that are cute but not a color that flatters my skin. I love the bright blue dress and think it’ll be fun to dress up and down in the summer. The pants are a style I love for smart casual work or networking events, and while they are a fabric that wrinkles too easily for my liking, they were able to be steamed in just a couple of minutes. I love the necklace, and it’s a great way to dress up a basic tee.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style. I would love to see some simple maxi dresses for spring, too.

NADINE WEST UNBOXING |AFFORDABLE STYLE SUBSCRIPTION

April 8, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you’re feeling excited and ready for a fresh, new week! I went to a concert over the weekend with one of my dearest friends and it has me feeling so positive as I start a new week.  I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

What Did I Get?

I received a pink short sleeve shirt with shoulder cutouts, a creme floral top with puffy sleeve details, a red and white striped blazer with red roses, a red floral teeshirt, a blue floral strapless dress, a gray pencil skirt, black and white plaid pants, a navy and gold necklace, and gold dangly earrings.

 

What Did I Like? What Missed the Mark?

This month I got one piece that I am OVER THE MOON IN LOVE WITH! I could have gotten just this piece and I would have been happy! It’s a lightweight drape open-front black and white striped blazer with red roses on it. If you read this blog often, you know that I wear mostly neutral colors and the patterns I prefer are the standbys like stripes, dots, and leopard, but the pop of red from the roses is just enough on the neutral colored blazer! It’s super cute for work, date night, or a cocktail with the girls! I also like the pink short sleeve but wish it didn’t have the shoulder cutouts. The creme floral top is so stunning! I am not crazy about the floral pattern, but the fit of the shirt and the puffy sleeve detail is so perfect. I do not care for the red floral top on my skin tone. I also don’t like the plaid pants because while plaid pants are so in this year, I wish they were a more traditional trouser style instead of a legging/pant mix. The dress is very cute, but floral isn’t my thing. The skirt is a great basic.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box.

AFFORDABLE CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION | NADINE WEST REVIEW

What Did I Get?

This month I received a purple cold-shoulder sweater, an olive and white striped cold-shoulder top, a white top with beautiful lace detail, a pair of shiny purple leggings, a pair of plaid pants, a sky blue floral dress, a black pendant necklace, a pair of gold and silver hoops, and a gold bracelet. 

 

Did I Keep It?

This month I only kept a couple of items. I love the material of the purple sweater, and it’s actually the same material and color as a sweater that I received in a Nadine West Box a few months back, but I am not into the cold-shoulder trend much anymore, so I’m not sure how often I’ll wear this. I love olive green and I love stripes, so I wish that it was a plain top and not cold-shoulder, because again I don’t think I’ll reach for it in my closet. The purple leggings are not workout leggings, but I think they’ll be nice to wear hanging around the house. I LOVE the dress so much, it is perfect for brunch or attending my daughters dance recital, but let me be real, real I was too cold to try it on! I love it though! So cute. I love plaid, and I think a neutral plaid pant would be super cute, but the plaid pants that came aren’t in my color palette and I don’t like the way they fit. I don’t care for the earrings or the bracelet this month, but the necklace is very cute and something I’ll wear often. Overall, this wasn’t a great month for me for Nadine West.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style. I would love to see some simple maxi dresses for spring, too.

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

If you’re in the midwest I hope that this post finds you safe and staying warm! We are on snow day number four in a row (seven this school year) and I am trying to enjoy the time with my kids while simultaneously keeping my sanity ; )  I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here). I wear several of items from my Nadine West boxes quite often, so I am always excited to see what I get and if anything makes it into my frequent wardrobe rotation.  Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

I absolutely LOVE the gray pom-pom hat! I have a cream colored one, a blush one, and another neutral (neutrals are my clothing love language) but didn’t have the perfect gray, so I was thrilled to get it. The mauve color I like, but I don’t like thin material of the shirt because it’s the kind that wrinkles no matter what you do. The floral skirt is cute but it isn’t my style. I really like the dress, and it will come in handy when I am going to dance recitals and spring performances for the kids, plus it would be super cute for brunch. I didn’t take pictures in it simply because the day I took photos it was -40 fahrenheit. The leggings have a floral lace pattern and they’re super soft, so while I don’t think they’ll work for intense workouts I love them for lounging around and home or layering on super cold days like today. The plaid shirt is really cute, and I think it will look great layered with a graphic tee. The gold necklaces are delicate and very much my style, so I am thrilled with those. The earrings aren’t something I would pick, but they are pretty and I like that they’re lightweight. I need to make it a point to try to wear them and see how I like it.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I really loved this box and hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style.

Notes to Nadine

I love neutral colors like gray, cream, caramel, black, and blush. I love trouser pants, neutral maxi dresses, and classic styles like sweaters, button downs, and stripes. I like delicate jewelry and stud earrings.

Affordable Vegan Leather Booties | Just Fab Review

January 21, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a fantastic weekend! I love being comfortable, especially when it’s -15 outside and I’m hauling my little loves off to activities or school, so having cute and comfortable footwear is essential. Today I want to share my current favorite from Just Fab.

My Latest Pair of Just Fab Boots

The Just Fab Simi Side Zip Bootie in Cognac features an unzipped side zipper detail on the outward facing side that is “for show” but a zipper on the other side that is functional. The boots are faux leather, but the cognac vegan leather looks very real and they do not look cheap. The manmade soles feature a 1.25 inch heel that gives you just enough to give a stylish look without it feeling like any different than a flat boot.

What Is JustFab?

JustFab is a website that is a part of the ShoeDazzle, Fabletics, and FabKids family, where you join and take a style quiz, have access to exclusive discounts, and receive free shipping and exchanges.

How Does It Work?

Once becoming a VIP member you can opt each month to “skip” the month or pick out a pair of shoes! If you do not “skip” the month by the 5th of every month, you will be charged $39 which can be used as a credit for a new pair of shoes.

My Experience

I joined because I kept seeing ads and thinking the shoes were so adorable for the price! I have been a member for years now, and I overall really enjoy JustFab. In order to not get charged I spend about 10 minutes every six months to put into the calendar on my phone “Skip JustFab” on the first of the month. I have had a few “whoops” months where I don’t skip, but I have just saved the credit for occasions such as birthdays where I want a new pair of shoes.

Why I love It?

I have had so many cute pairs of shoes, and people often compliment my shoes or ask where they are from. I love that I can get cute shoes (see some of my past posts showcasing them here , here, here, and here) for an affordable price. I have had at least 10 pairs of shoes from JustFab over the past several years, and while some aren’t incredibly comfortable, I have also purchased boots that I wear on a nearly daily basis during the fall and winter months with zero pain. I also find the review on the JustFab site to be very helpful.

What I DON’T Love

I haven’t canceled, but I have heard it can be a bit of a hassle, because obviously they don’t want you to cancel. If you have had that experience, definitely let myself and anyone else reading know about it in the comments.
