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

& 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.

KENNETH COLE UNLISTED | AFFORDABLE MEN’S STYLE BROWN OXFORDS

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday AND Happy 2018!

I hope that your new year is off to a wonderful start! I love the fresh start of a new day, new week, new months, but a new year? It is really the best! If you have any resolutions or goals for the year, please feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you’re up to! I want to continue to bring you a blog every Monday and Wednesday without missing (regardless of holiday or other occasion!).

 

 

While LeahTackles is a beauty blog, I enjoy occasionally sharing some style favorites, and today I want to share a favorite men’s style piece that will help any guy in your life walk into the new year (see what I did there?!) looking like a gentlemen.

 

Stephan, my husband, loves the look of men’s oxfords, particularly the very on trend brown men’s oxford, but the prices of some of them are simply out-of-reach for us. I bought Stephan a pair of Kennth Cole Unlisted brown men’s oxfords for Christmas, and he has loved them so far! I realize the quality won’t be what a very high end pair of leather shoes may be, but I consider these to be a fun way for him to try different styles, much like my favorite shoes from JustFab or Target.

CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION BOX | NADINE WEST CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION REVIEW

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you are having a great start to your week : ) I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here and here), and I have been wearing the outfit from my last box a ton later, 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!

My Outfit

This month I received an infinity scarf, a top, a necklace, and a pair of earrings with a total value of $70.

 

Did I Keep It?

YES! I was so excited when I opened up my package this month and saw the infinity scarf that I put it on immediately and have worn it nearly every day (zero exaggeration) since then. The shirt is so beautiful on, and I don’t have very much red in my closest, but this shade is perfect for the Christmas season! The shirt has a mock turtle neck and a nice stretchy fabric that looks a bit dressy, but is easy and comfortable to wear. The jeans I styled with this shirt are a mid-rise jean and works well with the v slit styling of the top. The earrings are not earrings I would typically wear, but I styled them with a side braid (think Elsa from Frozen) and loved the way they completed the look. The necklace is right up my alley, but I prefer it with a shirt that isn’t that turtle neck or high neck style.

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

SPRING STYLE IDEAS: WHAT TO WEAR FOR THE WARM UP!| FEATURING JORD WOOD WATCHES + GIVEAWAY OPPORTUNITY

& 1 Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

It is now officially spring, but in many areas that means it could be cold and raining (or here even snowing!) one day, and warm and sunny the next. I want to share an outfit idea that helps transition your wardrobe from the cooler winter months into wacky spring. JORD provided me with a watch for review, but as always all opinions are my own and I do not accept money in exchange for a positive review.

JORD Wood Watches

JORD Watches caught my eye on Instagram because they are incredibly stylish, but also very unique. I was curious about the name and found out that Jord actually means soil, earth, dirt, and ground in Swedish.  My husband has a watch from JORD that I reviewed here and I was so excited to finally try one for myself. JORD makes luxury wood watches for both men and women.

MY SPRING STYLE

I enjoy easy pieces that I can dress up or down and work for the many occasions I find myself in as a wife, mother, professional, and expert chocolate and champagne taste-tester 😉

This outfit was made up of mostly very affordable, classic pieces from Target, Forever 21, J. Crew, a local boutique, and my JORD wood watch.

 

The pants are from J. Crew and an investment piece that I love because they are a bit dressier than jeans, and a wardrobe staple for me. I love that they look amazing in the winter months with boots, but transition into spring when I change out the boots for a slip on espridrille sneaker. The shirt is from Target and is comfortable, flowy, and although it has longer sleeves the material is light and perfect for spring. The shoes were a steal of a deal from Forever 21 and look adorable with everything from jeans on a play-date at the park to a dress at brunch. I love that my JORD watch is unique which makes it a statement piece and that along with my felt hat leave little need for fussy accessories or dramatic makeup. I love pieces that play double-duty and work as jewelry and a functional timepiece, and I think that this JORD watch does that well. JORD watches use Swiss Movement and I love the contrast of the beautiful handcrafted wood band with the modern face, the perfect accessory for a wardrobe that is ready for a beautiful spring!

 

I  loved the look of the “Frankie” style in Zebra Wood & Navy. Using the JORD Measuring Instructions I was able to easily measure my wrist to ensure a proper fit. This watch retails for $189.

JORD was so kind and easy to communicate with which is huge to me because I love good customer service. JORD also has a Watch Care Page which is very helpful especially for a unique product like this. You can also see a lot of fun styling inspiration on the JORD social media sites! I love following JORD and I think I “heart” every Instagram pic they post.
