STICKY BRA REVIEW | BRAS FOR BACKLESS SHIRTS | BRAS FOR LOW CUT SHIRTS

December 24, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! And, more importantly, Happy Christmas Eve if you celebrate!

We are a week away from NYE and if you’re like me, you get the perfect outfit for occasions like this and then at the last minute realize that your bra awkwardly shows. Not cute. So, this year I wanted to share a review for a sticky bra that you can order on Amazon for less than $15. I realize that this post may not be needed if you have a very small chest, and may not work if you have a very large chest, but if you’re at that in between size like I am, this post is for you. *Note: With clothing, there have been many times when I’d prefer to have a very flat chest and others where I could use some more volume…We always want what we don’t have, right? If you do have a smaller or larger chest, you may still want to check out the Amazon reviews, because many women in all bra sizes have left helpful reviews.

Invisible Adhesive Bra 2 Pack

If you search “sticky bra” on Amazon you’ll get a LOT of results, and I have tried several and honestly have had very similar results. My favorite bras are the ones that have the drawstring or lace-up style so I can somewhat adjust how much cleavage I would like. I have come to love this particular set because they come with two, the pack I ordered came with nude and black, and the adhesive is VERY sticky. Does it feel completely secure like an underwire bra? No, but I do feel covered, comfortable, and confident wearing clothing that is backless or a more low cut. Some sticky bras have little quarter sized circles for your nipples, but this particular bra does not, so I like to wear nipple petals like these because the idea of ripping this off at the end of the day without some nipple protection makes me shudder. Overall, completely worth trying a few out for the price.

Have you tried these? What do you think? What is your favorite backless bra? What if your favorite bra ever? What if your favorite bra for low-cut tops? Have a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for reading, today and always! xx

JUST FAB REVIEW | IS IT WORTH IT? ARE THE SHOES COMFORTABLE?

January 10, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I love shoes, and I like to have high quality, investment pairs of winter boots, athletic shoes, a classic heel, and of course my favorite UGG Slippers (priorities, people!). However, I love trying out shoes for different events, or explore a new trend, without clutching my pearls. My favorite places to get inexpensive boots is Target or JustFab, and my favorite place to get inexpensive heels is JustFab, so today I want to share my thoughts on the company JustFab.

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, 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. My latest pair of shoes from just fab, a faux suede black bootie with gorgeous detail embroidery, is shown above.

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.

CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE | NADINE WEST OUTFIT SUBSCRIPTION REVIEW

September 6, 2017 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a great week! Subscription boxes are still hugely popular, and I have been noticing clothing subscription services gaining a lot more traction. Nadine West reached out to me and 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.

Save Some Money!

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!

My Outfit

Did I keep it?

YES! I absolutely love that sherbert orange color, and the pearl studs are very much my style. I would not have picked the floral skirt out for myself, but I ended up really liking the way it looked on, but now I will have to remind myself to wear it! The bracelet works really well with a lot of the bracelets I like to wear stacked together like my Alex & Ani, so it will likely get a lot of wear.

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