NADINE WEST REVIEW 2018 | AFFORDABLE CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION BOX

September 26, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

How is your week going? What is something you are grateful for right now? I’ll start ; ) I am exhausted, and I am grateful for cozy fall clothing.   I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here) I have been wearing some items from my last several boxes a lot lately, so I was so excited to receive a new box in the mail from them.  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 It 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

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.

Discount 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!

What Did I Get?

This month I received a pair of gold dangle earrings with a pearl, a layered gold necklace, a set of gold bracelets with charm details, a white floral kimono, a long open faced navy duster, a dusty purple sweater with a crisscross detail, and a burgundy pair of leggings with a crisscross detail.

 

Did I Keep It?

I was so much happier with this box than last months box! I love simple delicate jewelry and the thin gold chain with the pearl is right up my alley. The gold necklace isn’t something that I would have picked, but I actually love the way it looks on! The bracelets are something that I will likely save for a giveaway on my LeahTacklesBeauty Instagram or pass on to a friend, but they are pretty and I like that they can be worn together or alone. I am into neutrals, but I love the kimono style and think that this is a piece I will enjoy having in my wardrobe. I LOVE the dusty purple sweater, it is super soft and stretchy and looks really cute with mid or high rise jeans. The super long navy duster is completely my style and I put it on as soon as I opened the package up. My little loves did say that the long navy duster made me look like a wizard (which I think was a compliment, probably?! Haha) but my husband really liked it. The burgundy leggings are super comfortable and have a crisscross detail on the sides of the legs from ankle to knee. I like to do a “yoga test” with my leggings, but I haven’t done that with these yet to see if they are too thin, but they seem to be very stretchy. I am keeping everything and I am very excited about my new pieces for fall!

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month 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.

AFFORDABLE FLORAL TIES AND UNIQUE MENS SOCKS | AFFORDABLE MENS GIFT GUIDE

September 24, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! Now it is officially Fall (have you had a PSL yet? I think *then* it really feels like Fall!) and it’s a good time to start thinking holiday shopping. I know it seems early, but wouldn’t it feel great to have some of the men in your life already checked off your list? I found a brand this past summer that I have fallen in love with for mens ties and accessories, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

 

About DAZI 

DAZI (pronounced daw-zee) sells unique neckties, bow ties, tie bars, pocket squares, hats, and socks. After trying and failing to find great ties at an affordable price-point, DAZI founder Nate Ispen, began making his own skinny ties at affordable prices that allow every man to rock stylish ties, no matter his budget.  The mission of DAZI is to provide customers with a line ties that are fantastic quality and unique styles.

Why I Love DAZI

DAZI has 75 different patterns of neckties to choose from! For under $30 you can get a quality tie that is just as nice, if not nicer, than many ties that we have purchaed from fine department stores. They offer a precious tie for children, too. The floral bow ties are so chic, and I definitely want to grab one for my hubster this holiday season. I love pocket squares and tie clips because they complete the look (you know I am all about the styling rule of threes!) and my husband loves tie clips for their functionality. Their line of socks is unique in that my husband has rocked his DAZI socks with jeans and dressed them up with suits for work.  DAZI is bringing high fashion pieces to the masses that want to look on trend but don’t want to break the bank to do it.

Planning a Wedding?

One of my favorite parts of the DAZI website is that they have an affordable option for bridal parties! I love the idea of floral skinny ties, pocket squares, and a fun pop of a DAZI sock for a groom and his groomsmen.

Have you started shopping for the 2018 holiday season yet? Do you love a great skinny tie? What is your go-to gift for the men on your list? Let me know in the comments! xx

NADINE WEST REVIEW | AFFORDABLE CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION BOX

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a wonderful week so far : )  I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here) I have been wearing some items from my last several boxes a lot lately, so I was so excited to receive a new box in the mail from them. 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?

This month I received a turquoise tunic length t-shirt, a navy floral shirt, black cropped jeggings, chevron floral shorts, a pair of gold hoop earrings, gold bangle bracelets, and a silver and gold antler necklace.

Did I Keep It?

Unfortunately, overall this box really wasn’t my style. The turquoise shirt is a really pretty color, and I’ll probably like it next spring and summer especially over leggings on comfy days, the navy floral shirt is definitely something I’ll wear, but it’s SUPER fitted and I probably will not reach for it as much because of that. The black jegging crops will look nice with loose fitting tops as the weather cools down, but they aren’t something I would have picked myself. The chevron floral shorts are SO cute, my daughter loves them, and they’re very comfortable but they’re a much busier pattern then I gravitate to. The highlight of this box was absolutely the jewelry! I love the gold earrings and unique hoops are very on trend for fall 2018 style. The gold bangles are heavy, and I have so many similar, but they aren’t bad. I LOVE the antler necklace! It reminds the Disney Nerd in me of Gaston so I love them even more. I kept it and plan to pass on the items I don’t love to friends who I think will look amazing in them!

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month 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 was on a fantastic streak the past couple of boxes, so I was a bit bummed to not see some great neutral basics for fall, but I still enjoy checking out the box each month.

WHAT SHOES TO WEAR WITH PAPER BAG WAIST PANTS

August 20, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a great weekend : ) Our weekends are once again filling up with soccer game and other activities with our kids, but I am trying to hang onto the last bits of summer while I can. I have been wearing an amazing pair of paper bag pants lately dressed up, dressed down, and even just hanging at home, so I wanted to share with you how I style them with different shoes for three very different looks.

 

 

What Are Paper Bag Wasit Pants?

Paper bag waist pants are high waisted, gathered or cinched at the top, and often have a sash style belt.

What Shoes To Wear With Paper Bag Pants?

With paper bag pants, much like trousers, women tend to stick to a plain black flat or basic black pump, and while that is completely appropriate and chic, it is really limiting the diversity of the paper bag pants! I like pairing my paper bag waist trousers with sandals, loafers, strappy nude heels, flats, and even sneaker!

 

Shop 

Paper Bag Waist Pants

Target Loafers (Similar to the Gucci Loafer)

Just Fab Pearl Sandals (sold out!) Similar Pair from Target

Nike Flex RN 7 Sneaker

Do you have any paper bag waist trousers yet? If not, PLEASE DO! They are incredibly comfortable (legit, they’re like pajama pants!) and look effortless chic dressed for work or for play!

Have a wonderful start to your week! I’ll talk to you on Wednesday! xx

DIY LACE SHIRT | EASY WARDROBE UPDATES FOR FALL

August 8, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

How is your week going? Let us know one thing in the comments that you are looking forward to right now! I’ll start, I am looking forward to autumn because thinking of donuts, cider (the real kind) and cute fall clothes makes me feel cozy and safe. Today I want to share a simple DIY that I recently attempted where I added lace to a plain v-neck white shirt to make it look like a lacy bralet peaking out. I love this look because you can toss a denim jacket or a flannel over it for an effortlessly cute fall look. You can see other wardrobe update DIY projects I have done in the past here.

 

 

What You’ll Need

 

 

  • A white v-neck t-shirt of your choice (I found one on clearance at Walmart!)
  • A needle and white or black thread
  • Black lace ribbon that is about an inch thick
  • Scissors

Directions

First, you need to cut the lace so that it is just a tad longer than the length of the neckline. Then, starting at the shoulder, I sewed the lace into the shirt. I will be honest if a seamstress saw my needlework or lack of? They’d probably have some *suggestions*! But, I was careful not to have any of the sloppy stitches be on the visible neckline of the shirt, so you’d only see my amateur sewing skills if you were doing my laundry and if you want to do that, feel free ; )

My Shirt

 

 

Shop

 

What do you think? Will you try this DIY? I love mine, but I want to make another one with a lower cut v-neck and a different lace ribbon to have more options! Have a fantastic weekend! xx

What Did I Get?

This month I received a pair of gold dangling earrings, an aqua wrap style bracelet with magnetic closure, a teardrop necklace with a blue stone, a  black striped wrap dress, a sheer floral shirt, a gray and white light sweater, and a pair of olive shorts.

My Outfits

Did I Keep It?

I kept everything, and loved almost all of it! The earrings aren’t my style, I am such a studs girl, but I will be able to pass these on to a friend who I think will enjoy them. The aqua wrap bracelet isn’t something I would have picked, but I actually love it on! The bracelet has beautiful details, like the tassels, that makes it a lot of fun to wear. The necklace is GORGEOUS! I got a very similar one, almost identical except it was turquoise and didn’t have the bar detail, that I received in a previous Nadine West box that I wear all the time. The white dress with black stripes is super cute and comfortable, and I am excited to wear it, but it’s a little more lowcut than what I usually prefer. The sheer floral shirt surprised me because I didn’t think I would like it, but I do think it is pretty. The gray and white sweater is a great basic that is very much my style and I am sure I will wear it a lot in the evenings when it is chilly and this coming fall and winter. The olive shorts are so comfortable, not too short, and very much my style. I am overall very happy with this months box.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month 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 have been liking my boxes more and more lately, which I am pleased with.

PINK BLUSH CLOTHING | *NOT* JUST MATERNITY WEAR

July 16, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a fantastic weekend! I have seen fellow bloggers and YouTubers share adorable outfits and shopping hauls from Pink Blush Maternity, but because I am done having kids I didn’t consider checking out their website until my friend, Kristen (see her blog here), told me that they have non-maternity clothes, too (shop those here). I am now excited to be a PinkBlush collaborator, and while this post is not sponsored, I was sent this outfits for review purposes, but as always all opinions are my own. Also, I am NOT pregnant! Just throwing that out there ; ) You can definitely shop PinkBlush for before, during, or after pregnancy.

 

 

About PinkBlush Maternity

Versatility is key in the land of motherhood and PinkBlush has made it easier than ever to create a staple wardrobe with styles that can be worn during pregnancy into motherhood and beyond. PinkBlush strives to provide the highest quality of a product as well as service. Enjoy free shipping as well as easy exchanges when you purchase from PinkBlush. Plus when it comes to your order, customer care is there to accommodate you.

Navy Blue Striped Ruffle-Hem Sleeveless Dress

A sleeveless, hi-low midi dress featuring a textured, striped print ruffle trim on the hemline, a cinched elastic waistline, and rounded neckline. The bust is double lined to prevent sheerness. This style was created to be worn before, during, and after pregnancy.

I picked this dress because I love navy blue, and I love the hi-low hemline because it keeps me modest while running around with my Little Loves, but is still stylish. I am a big fan of dresses like this because they can be worn to appointments, playdates, casual date nights, brunches, church, and looks great with heels or flats. I love to toss a jacket over my shoulders in the mornings or evenings when it is cool, and the light blue and white striped hem gives this dress a little something extra, and I love the nautical, summery touch.

Black Sleeveless Hi-Low Ruffle Trim Maxi Dress

A sleeveless maxi dress featuring a hi-low hemline, ruffle trim, a cinched elastic waist, and a waist tie. The top is double lined to prevent sheerness. This style was created to be worn before, during, and after pregnancy.

I am a neutral girl and I didn’t own a black maxi dress, so this option was a great pick. I really love the ruffle hem because it keeps this simple dress from being boring, and makes the dress more breathable. The ruffle hem also shows a bit of skin, and you can show off your shoes. This dress is simple enough that it can be dressed up or down, and it looks really cute with a jean jacket.

 

Have you ever tried PinkBlush Maternity? Did you know PinkBlush has clothing that is not maternity clothing? What do you think of the dresses I picked? What would you pick? Let me know in the comments! xx

NADINE WEST | AFFORDABLE OUTFIT STYLING BOX

July 4, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday! And, if you’re in the U.S.A, Happy 4th of July!

What Did I Get?

This month I received a gold layered bar necklace with raw crystals in white and turquoise, a pair of large diamond-shaped gold earrings, a navy skater dress, a long pink maxi skirt, and a burgundy open faced cardigan.

My Outfits

 

Did I Keep It?

THANK YOU Nadine West! I absolutely loved this box and feel like my opinions on past boxes was heard. I loved this box! The necklace with raw crystals is gorgeous and very much my style! I love how it has the layered necklace look, the bar necklace style, and the raw crystal style all in one gorgeous piece. The earrings look beautiful, but as soon as I put them on I realized they were very heavy and I could hear my mother in my head warning me against wearing heavy dangly earrings, so I will wear these for videos and pictures only. The navy skater dress is super comfortable and flattering on but is very short! I will wear the dress with a pair of bike shorts under it. The pink maxi skirt is really long, but you can wear it high waisted and/or fold the top over so it would suit a variety of heights. The one complaint I have about the maxi skirt is that it is VERY thin material, so I will need to wear a seamless thong with it or no-show undies. The burgundy cardigan is long, soft, stretchy, and comfortable! I love this now when I am chilly in the summer, and I know I will be wearing this all the time in the fall and winter as a perfect third piece.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month 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 have been liking my boxes more and more lately, which I am pleased with.

STRAWBERRY ROSÉ POPSICLE PUNCH | NO GUILT ROSÉ COCKTAIL FEATURING Stevia In The Raw® + GIVEAWAY

June 25, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

If you’re like me Monday means it is time to sit back in the evening and enjoy watching some often cringe-worthy rose ceremonies and romantic dates unfold on TV while I sit back with myself or my girlfriends on the couch. Most days I watch by myself, but often FaceTime a girlfriend so we can have a little viewing party of our own. Today I want to share with you a guilt-free Strawberry Rosé (get it! Rosé!) Popsicle Punch Cocktail featuring Stevia In The Raw®. I am a big believer in eating in moderation, and as I’ve mentioned before I eat extremely well during the week, but on the weekends I will splurge. I like to count my macros (carbs, fat, and protein) to ensure that I am fueling my body so that I can maintain a lean and muscular figure. I use Stevia In The Raw® in moderation and it helps me stay on track.  I am also excited that Stevia In The Raw® will be helping me host a giveaway so that one of you can read your own samples to make yummy guilt-free cocktails and recipes for your own girls night in party! I was sent Stevia In The Raw® samples and this is a sponsored post, but as always I never accept money in exchange for a positive review and all opinions are my own.

 

 

 

Strawberry Rosé Popsicle Punch

 

 

Rosé Popsicle

-2½ cups roughly chopped, thawed frozen strawberries (12 ounces)
-3 packets Stevia In The Raw® or 2 tablespoons Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
-1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Punch

-1 bottle rosé or sparkling rosé wine

 

Preparation

In a blender combine strawberries, Stevia In The Raw®, and lemon juice and blend until smooth. Divide between popsicle molds. Place cover on mold and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze until solid, at least 8 hours or overnight.

To remove popsicles from mold, dip mold all the way to the brim in cool water just long enough to loosen popsicles. Place popsicles on a baking sheet and return to freezer until ready to use. To save popsicles longer than 1 day, place in a resealable plastic freezer bag or container and keep frozen.

To serve, place 1 popsicle stick-up in a large wine glass, and pour rosé wine over popsicle. Serve immediately. These are SO YUMMY! My hubs even traded in his weekend whiskey for a glass of punch ; )

Did I Keep It?

Yes, everything! I instantly put on the bracelet because I love it so much and goes with everything! It is so pretty and I’ve received compliments on it already. The leaf necklace is very delicate and the leaf seems like it could break easily, but I really did like the way it looks on. The dark red tea is a great basic that looks really cute tucked in or knotted. I love neutral colors, and lace is so in style for 2018, so the black lace shorts are going to get a lot of wear! I really like that the lace shorts are pretty short, but the lace part goes longer than the lining, so they don’t seem too revealing. The olive cardigan is very similar to one I received from Nadine West before, but it’s actually one of my favorite ever Nadine West items so I don’t mind. The peach floral colored shirt is really pretty, but it is probably my least favorite item in this box only because I’ve been gravitating to neutrals lately. The floral athletic shorts are super soft and perfect for doing yard work, bumming around the house, or wearing with a white or black tank on casual days.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month 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 have been liking my boxes more and more lately, which I am pleased with.

 

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