Turban Knot Headband | How-To Wear It

October 28, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

A trend that I’ve seen on the pages of Harper’s Bazaar, on the runways, and (the most relatable and attainable of them all) on the tables of my local Target.

How-To Wear Turban Headbands

The turban-style headband or turband (get it?) reminds me of the 1960’s images of Elizabeth Taylor in the 1960s. I opted to pick a neutral camel colored velvet headband to ease myself into the style, but I had so much fun and felt so chic in this, I’d like to add a few more of the gorgeous jewel tone styles to my fall and winter wardrobe. I would suggest starting with a smaller knot, like the one in my photo, and a neutral color. I received a lot of compliments, and it is a great “third piece” to add to any outfit.

Why I Love Turban Headbands

Because I prefer to dress in a “capsule” wardrobe (if you’d like me to do a post on my capsule wardrobe let me know in the comments) I appreciate on-trend pieces like a headband that I can add to the staples I reach for daily. I love that this style is accessible to everyone without a big investment, with headbands starting at less than $10 each.

AFFORDABLE STYLE BOX | NADINE WEST REVIEW

October 7, 2019 & Leave a Comment


Hi there! Happy Monday!

Have you ever wondered how a clothing subscription box works? Nadine West offers an affordable style subscription service.

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 Unboxing

This was a month where I did receive quite a few pieces that I didn’t like, but thankfully Nadine West has a good return process and policy. I am picky about jewelry, I really only like delicate pieces and stud earrings. I also like solid, neutral colors. I only got three pieces that I chose to keep, but they’re GREAT pieces. I am in love with the navy blouse that I got, it has three fabric colored buttons in the front and a white tie at the neck. I love this because for work events or meetings I like to dress “Snappy Casual” as we said in my sorority days, or smart casual as it’s more commonly known to the masses. I also received a pair of wide leg culotte pants that have a ruched high waist that is really flattering, and of course I would be amiss if I didn’t rave about the fact that THEY HAVE POCKETS! They hit me right at the widest part of my calf, and because of this I think they look best with a heel. I like these because they’re another great neutral I can dress up or down. The third item is an extremely fitted gray shirt, and it’s the type of shirt that is almost too tight, but for some reason this one is stretchy enough that it’s comfortable and I think it’ll be wonderful this fall and winter under cardigans and sweaters when I really want to layer up.

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

I got a few GREAT pieces this month! My absolute favorite item is a maroon button-front vest that ties at the bottom. I wore it the day after I got it for a family event and again a few days later for an Oktoberfest celebration. I also received a great basic black and white striped shirt and a gorgeous olive dress shirt that is going to look incredible at some upcoming conferences I have coming up for work.

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!

AFFORDABLE CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION | NADINE WEST REVIEW

March 4, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you’re feeling energized and ready for a fresh, 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?

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.

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.

Have you tried JustFab? What has your experience been like?

Have a wonderful monday! xx

NADINE WEST REVIEW | AFFORDABLE MONTHLY STYLE BOX

November 21, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you’re as excited for a short week as I am!!  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 tee shirt style dress with frayed ends, an orange/red shirt, a black open faced cotton cardigan shirt,  a pair of gray leggings with side details, a pair of purple leggings, a black fringe necklace, and a gold and black bracelet.

Did I Keep It?

Unfortunately, I didn’t like most of the items that I got this month. I do love the purple leggings because they are super cozy and will be great for lounging around or workouts, and the black open faced shirt is a great basic that goes with everything. The necklace is beautiful, and the bracelet is a great delicate piece, but I didn’t have a “wow” item that I loved this month.

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.

UNIQUE WATCHES FOR MEN | A GIFT MEN WILL LOVE! | DISCOUNT CODE

November 14, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

Are you looking for that perfect gift that will surprise and impress a special guy in your life? Every year when special occasions come up I find myself searching for gifts that my husband will be wowed by and today I want to share the newest JORD Wood Watch that fit that bill. JORD provided me with this 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

I have worked with JORD in the past, you can read those posts here, and they are a brand that continues to impress me. Plus, I am all about online curling up on the couch on Black Friday eating leftover pie and doing my shopping my laptop…plus, I’m doing my part reducing my carbon footprint by not driving to the malls.

Jord means soil, dirt, earth, and ground in Swedish, and that name is fitting for these wooden watches with original designs and refined aesthetic. If you head to JORD’s Instagram you will see gorgeous watches styled both for work and play. Have you ever thought that the man in your life has plenty of ties, wallets, polo shirts, or bottles of cologne? Me too! Actually, my husband, Stephan, even has several watches, but he had never had anything like a JORD wood watch.

The Watch

The newest offering in the JORD collection, the Hyde series, is a model of minimalism. Cutting through the noise, the stark face, polished band, and precision quartz movement create a timepiece that will truly speak to you. My husband says far less than many, but people listen when he talks because when he does speak it is always value adding, and this watch is like that by saying the most with the least. The Hyde Sandalwood, Olive is a beautiful watch and retails for $219

Free Cedar Humidor and Care Package

Your purchase of a Hyde timepiece includes a $115 care package free of charge. This package includes a collector’s edition humidor cedar watch box, cleaning cloth, and a 6 month supply of JORD Preserve: a custom-formulated wood treatment gel with applicator pen. This box is beautiful and my husband keeps it on the dresser. The drawer in the box is also perfect for storing tie bars and cufflinks.

The contest will close 12/02/2018 at 11:59 pm CST. Both the $100 and the 10% off codes will expire on 12/30/2018.

Feel Confident When You Buy

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.

THE BEST AFFORDABLE OPEN-FRONT CARDIGAN | LESS THAN $20!!

October 22, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Another weekend gone in a blink! This week my calendar is filled with Halloween related activities with my Little Loves and Big Love which is so much fun, but also a reminder of how quickly this fall is flying by! Do you have any fun Halloween plans? Do you dress up? I am trying to decide if I will dress up this year, and those adult-sized onesie costumes are looking more and more appealing for my Netflix-and-Wine mom lifestyle.

I am a huge fan of adding layers to take clothes tossed on the body into an outfit, and one of my favorite ways to do this is by wearing open-front cardigans. I use “The Rule of Threes” which means that a shirt and pants is just that but if you add an amazing scarf, pair of shoes, or jacket it becomes an outfit. Well, this past week I was browsing greeting cards at the local Walmart and saw this Time and Tru Double Knit Cardigan that I MUST share with you!

 

I couldn’t believe how classic this cardigan looked and then when I went closer I couldn’t believe how high-quality the fabric looked and felt. It’s a cotton, acrylic, and polyester blend but it truly minics a sweater with some wool in it. The two-tone look of it elevates it in a way that makes it look more luxurious and high-end. It fits beautifully (I purchased a size small and it’s true-to size for me) with a slightly relaxed fit and a duster sweater length. I like that I can roll up the sleeves, push up the sleeves, or wear the sleeves at full length. This sweater cardigan can be machine washed on the wool/delicate cycle and can be tumble dried, though I will hang it to dry as I do with all of my sweaters. Also, it is $19.96! AMAZING!

I am BEYOND impressed with this and plan to grab it in gray, too!

Have you ever checked out the clothing at Walmart? I’ll be honest, I don’t often, but this beauty might make me take a peek from time to time! Have a wonderful week! xx

NADINE WEST SUBSCRIPTION BOX | AFFORDABLE OUTFIT SUBSCRIPTION BOX

October 15, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope your Monday is off to a wonderful start!  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.

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.

What Did I Get?

This month I received a pair of jogger style athletic pants, black and white dress/tunic hoodie, a maroon sweater with a crisscross back, a gold necklace, gold leaf earrings, gold hoop earrings, and a maroon and gold bracelet.

 

Did I Keep It?

I absolutely LOVE the jogger pants and wore them immediately and then washed them so I could wear them again. I also absolutely love the sweater and think it will be perfect as we head into the holiday season. I do not really care for the dress style hoodie, but I will pass it on to a friend. I like the gold necklace, and it has enough weight to it so that it doesn’t feel cheap at all. I don’t care for either pairs of earrings or the bracelets, BUT I will be doing a GIVEAWAY! See below for details ; )

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.

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