Fashion Haul: BaubleBar, VS PINK, & Primark

Hey Guys,
I have a few haul videos that I'm finally getting around to editing. I  am definitely slacking in that department. I still wanted to get the video up since I absolutely love the pieces I got and they were all a steal! Check out my video below to see the fashion items that I picked up!

Stash Jewelry

Hey Guys, 

Today I'm going to share some products from Stash Jewelry. For those of you unfamiliar with this brand, Stash is a MA based jewelry brand that was created by former boutique owner and jewelry designer, Meredith Fruzzetti. She is the owner of the company and makes all of the items by hand.  I met Meredith back in 2008 when she first opened her boutique. I frequently shopped at her store and was a regular customer. She was always super cheerful and happy to see me visit her store; always making you feel welcome. We chatted often about life in general. That really stuck out to me and made me want to continue to give her my business. It's not everyday you get that type of personalized customer service. While I was sad to see her boutique close, I was super excited to hear that she was starting her own jewelry business. It has been really nice to see her business grow and expand. Not only is Stash Jewelry sold online, but it is also carried at many local salons and boutiques throughout MA, RI, CT, & NH. 

Stash specializes in jewelry made with genuine Swarovski crystals and semi-precious gemstones. All metals and components are 14kt or sterling silver plated. Stash Jewelry includes everything from Swarovski crystal stud earrings (in 2 sizes), bracelets, birthstone jewelry, chokers, and more! All items are nickel-free and come in an assortment of colors. 

Many of Stash's necklaces and bracelets can be worn alone or stacked and layered.

JORD Wooden Watches + GIVEAWAY!!!*

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to introduce you all to a brand that I am collaborating with! The company is JORD and they specialize in wooden watches for men and women. All JORD watches are hand crafted. There have many different styles of watches available. There are several different wood types and face colors to choose from. You could pick from more classic styles or more fun and unique ones. I had a hard time deciding but finally made the decision to go with the Fieldcrest Series in the Dark Sandalwood.

JORD Fieldcrest Series in Dark Sandalwood

Right when I opened the box, I could immediately tell that a huge amount of detail and thought went into this watch. Not only did it come in a beautiful wooden box, but it was displayed atop an embroidered pillow. It also came with items to care for your watch including a super soft cloth and treatment oil.

Holiday Box Swap

Hey Guys,

I hope everyone had a great Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa and New Year! I had over a week off from work so I know its going to be a struggle to get back into the swing of things and a normal schedule. Lily (Beauty with Lily) and I decided to do a holiday box swap with one another. We chose a budget and shipping date and sent each other a bunch of beauty, makeup, fashion, and lifestyle gifts. 

Check out my video below to see what Lily sent me!

Holiday Gift Guide: 88 Handbags*

Hey Guys,
This year I am going to do something a little different for my holiday gift guide. Instead of focusing on beauty I am going to focus on fashion. Also, Instead of listing a bunch of different products, I am going to feature some new brands/companies that may not be as known to my readers. Today I am going to talk about the brand 88 Handbags. I did a post about 88's Natalie Block Tote back in the summer which you can check out HERE. 88 Handbags is company that sells vegan handbags and offers them in a large assortment of different styles, colors, and shapes. They also offer extended straps on some of their bags for plus size women. 88 offers affordable and reasonable prices on their high quality handbags.  They also donate a % of each sale to a charity called Care International that assists in education women around the world. 88 Handbags would be a great holiday gift for any woman. Check out the video below where I talk about some of their bags and give some details on each!

Review: Wantable Accessories Collection October 2016

Hey Guys, 

Today I'm going  to share my Wantable Accessories Collection for October. Even though I don't really NEED anymore jewelry or accessories, I wanted a few long plain gold necklaces that would match with a bunch of different outfits. I decided to get the October collection and note that I was looking for long gold necklaces. I also told them that really small stud earrings don't look great on me and to avoid sending any of those.

Hey Guys, 

I'm here to share my Wantable Accessories Collection for July. I actually meant to skip my box for this month but forgot. Because of this, I didn't get to leave my stylist notes on what I would like her to include in my collection. I was pleasantly surprised with the collection that was picked out for me.

Review: Wantable Accessories Collection February 2016

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on my Wantable Accessories Collection for February! For this month, I asked for some silver pieces because I already have a ton of gold. I am thinking of getting these boxes every other month to save some money. That means that going forward I will need to think of what I really am interested in getting. Giving better notes each month will help improve my boxes and my overall satisfaction of them.

Review: December Wantable Accessories Collection

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on my December Wantable Accessories Collection! I decided to note that I wanted more unique pieces and asked them to check out my previous collections so that they don't send me similar items. I was really looking forward to seeing what they would send me.

Here is what I recieved in my December Accessories Collection:

Libby Drop Earrings Gold MSRP $18.00 (Wantable Price $10.14)

I thought that these earrings were pretty and not something that I already have. The only negative thing is that I think the antique gold metal with the black/gray stone is a weird pairing. I think these would look better with a silver metal.

Heather Earrings Gold MSRP $16.00 (Wantable Price $9.01)

I really love these earrings. I wear hoop earrings ALOT since they go with so much. I don't have any oval shape hoops so I was happy to see these. I have been wearing them a TON.

Andrana Necklace Gold MSRP $18.00 (Wantable Price $10.14)

This is such a unique necklace. I really have nothing like it. It will dress up a plain shirt perfectly.

Marloe Necklace Gold MSRP $19.00 (Wantable Price $10.70)

At first I thought that I already had a similar necklace, but when I looked closer, I noticed there are little rhinestones/jewels inside of a clear piping. This is such a unique and cool necklace. The only issue is that it is a magnetic closure which comes apart very easily. It is alot a little tight around my neck.

Overall, I was very happy to see that my stylist listened to my request and sent me unique pieces that I don't already have. I was pleased with what was sent and definitely think it was worth the cost of the subscription. I decided to skip January because of all of the holiday shopping I  have done. I can't wait to get my next collection in February.

Review: November Wantable Accessories Collection

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to share my November Wantable Accessories Collection! I actually recieved another box before this one but it was a complete style miss. I sent it back for a credit and have them try again.

Review: Wantable Accessories Collection Sept 2015

Hey Guys, 

Today I wanted to share my Wantable Accessories Collection for September! I get so excited for this subscription each month. I absolutely love costume jewelry. I feel like you can dress up a look easily with something as simple as a pair of earrings or a necklace. It completes and outfit and makes you stand out in a crowd.

Here is what I got in my September Accessories Collection:

Brooklyn Studs Silver Retail: $12.00 My Price: $6.67

I thought these were cute. These weren't anything special to me but they are simple enough for me to wear with a silver statement necklace. 

Lillian Drop Earrings  Retail: $18.00 My Price: $10.00

I really liked these earrings. I thought that they were stunning on. I don't own anything like them so I was happy to see them in my collection.

Joanne Necklace Retail: $16.00 My Price: $8.89

At first, I wasn't super excited about this but after wearing it, I really like it. It is simple enough to not overpower an outfit but adds a little fun and edge to a look.

Issa Necklace Multi Retail: $26.00 My Price: $14.44

I really liked this necklace but the metal shapes kept flipping which was pretty annoying. I like that this has both silver and gold in it so that I can wear it with many colors.

Overall, this wasn't my favorite box. However, after wearing a few of these pieces, I was happy with what was sent to me.

Review: Wantable Accessories Collection August 2015

Hi Guys,

Another month has passed which means another Wantable Accessories Collection! I am loving this service so much and get so excited to see what I am getting each month. Even though this service is more than my other monthly subscriptions like Ipsy, I do feel like it is worth the price.

Here is what I got in my August Accessories Collection:

Livie Hoops Silver $16.00

This hoops are very simple however I usually wear more simple hoops on a regular basis. I usually pair them with more fancy statement necklaces. I will definitely wear these often. I like the little textured detail on them.

Andie Necklace S $28.00

This statement necklace is so pretty. I like that it is tan and white as it will go with many things. I'm not a fan of gunmetal color of the chain part however, I guess that's not a huge deal.

Giada Earrings $16.00

These statement earrings are so pretty! They sit a little weird on my ears but that has to do with the way my ears were pierced. These will look really good paired with a simple v neck shirts and a pair of jeans. I would probably go with a blacks shirt.

Elena Necklace $18.00

I really loved this piece alot. Its so simple but will go with so much. I think I will get alot of use out of this necklace.

Total Collection Value $78.00

Overall, I was very pleased with the items in my August collection. My favorite piece is the Elena necklace, Its so versatile and can be worn with so many different style outfits.

ASPEN NECKLACE SILVER $42.00

I absolutely love this necklace! I don't have many statement necklaces that are silver so I was thrilled to see this. The jewels on this necklace reflect a bunch of different colors and match a pair of earrings that I have perfectly. I have worn this necklace alot lately.

ASHTON EARRINGS $16.00

These earrings are so pretty. I love the tear drop shape. I don't own any earrings like this. 

CHAR NECKLACE GOLD $19.00

This is such a simple yet beautiful piece. I love the addition of the rhinestones and pink beading.

ASHLEE EARRINGS G $14.00

These are my least favorite of the collection. They are a cute aztech/bohemian style and I like the teal on the earrings. The shape is just a little different. I will try to rock them though.

Total Collection Value $91.00

Overall, I was really happy with this box. My favorite item was the Aspen necklace. I think that Wantable has done a great job at understanding my style and what I am looking when it comes to accessories. I already got my August collection and just a little spoiler...I LOVE it!
