Clearance Gem

Hey my friends!

Let me introduce you to my new favorite top! I found it tucked away in the clearance section a couple months ago at Burlington Coat Factory. It's super fun and I can't resist twirling once or twice while I'm wearing it!
One of the things that I love about shopping clearance is not just the great deals you can find but also the unique pieces people avoid because they are too "out there" to try. To be honest, when I picked this up I wasn't sure that it would work. Thankfully, my mom convinced me to try it on. I'm so grateful for her! This is why you should always try something on before crossing it off your list.
Do y'all have any tips on shopping clearance? I love hearing from you!

Seeing Double

Hey my friends!

I've been meaning to tell this story for awhile now but you know...procrastination.

So in October, I was waiting for my newest Rocksbox set to arrive while checking the tracking info religiously. After I should have already received my jewels, my local post office said that it was not able to deliver the box as packaged. I was pretty bummed, I had already peeked to see what the set would be and I was really looking forward to wearing all the pieces that they sent! I immediately emailed Rocksbox's customer service since I wanted to make sure they knew that I didn't have the box. They were so sweet and kind and offered to send another box straight away!

Long story short (too late) = Both Rocksboxes ended up in my mailbox somehow! I'm not sure if the mailman suddenly had a change of heart or what but who cares! Two boxes of sparkles to wear! Here's what they sent:

Box #1

Gorjana Crescent Shimmer Necklace | Sophie Harper Pavé Spiral Ring in Gold | Gorjana Matte Circle Ear Climber

Box #2

House of Harlow 1960 Native Legend Cuff in Turquoise | Jenny Bird Palm Cili Collar in Gold | Leslie Francesca Square Druzy Studs in Blue

I really loved both boxes but I think my favorites were the druzy studs. They were incredibly versatile! I've linked to some similar items in case you saw an item you couldn't live without!

Rocksbox Review August 2015

Woah guys. It's September! How the heck did that happen? It's like every time I blink a new month passes me by. I definitely meant to post this review earlier but I have had so much fun wearing the pieces in this box that I almost forgot about it!

1. House of Harlow 1960 Pavé Tribal Triangle Pendant in Gold: I really love the way this necklace looks! Just not on me. Why can't I find a pendant that I like? I'm starting to wonder if these types of necklaces just don't work for *ahem* larger chested women? I'm getting ready to give up on them, y'all.

2. Kendra Scott Elle Earrings in Chalcedony: These earrings are so beautiful. They went so well with a variety of outfits. I was so tempted to buy them but they kept falling out of my ears. Seriously, it was the strangest thing. I would be walking along (or biking or standing still) and they would fly off my ears! I have no idea what was going on.

3. Wanderlust + Co V-Bar Crystal Gold Ring: Say it with me - "Love it. Kept it!" They keeping winning when they send me these gorgeous rings. I think that's why they keep sending them. 

4. Euclid is adorable. 

I can't wait to see what the next box has!

Rocksbox Review July 2015

Hey my friends!

I hope this week has been good so far! What did y'all think of that Bachelorette finale last night? Agh, the show sucks me in more that I would like to admit!

I received my Rocksbox for this month and I have to say, other than the new ribbon color, it's a bit underwhelming.

1. Ashiana London Teardrop Pendent Necklace in Aqua:  This necklace is like, really pretty. The metal is the right color (gold) and aqua is one of my favorite colors period. I think my main probably with it is that it is shorter than I would like. In order to wear it at an acceptable length, I have to attach it with the last chain link. Nah, not for me.

2. Gorjana Paso Ring: Yes. Yes. Yes. This ring makes up for the "ho-hum' pieces in this box. Dainty and interesting. Keeping it! 

3. Nakamol Cream and Gold Wrap Bracelet: What the heck? Seriously, though. What is this? Wearing this is out of the question. It looks like I took a headband and just wrapped it around my wrist. Is this the fashion these days? Am I getting old guys? Not for me.

I've already sent this box back after having it for a whopping 4 days. I guess the stylists at Rocksbox can't get it right every time. (I did buy the Gorjana ring so it's not a total failure)

Rocksbox Review #6

Hey my friends!

Happy Monday!

So I've actually had this box for a while. Like 2 weeks. Oops! Unintentional blogger break. Seriously guys, this 9 to 5 is starting to get in the way of the things I love. (Like sharing the fun accessories I got with you!) Here's what I got in the box:

1. Wanderlust + Co Hammered Metal Spiral Gold Ring: This baby has been on my finger nonstop since the day I got it. I love it so so so much. My favorite part about it is that it gives the illusion of wearing several rings at the same time and that I effortlessly stacked them in a perfect manner. No doubt it is staying with me!

2. Gorjana Esme Cutout Studs: Studs again! I may or may not be changing my mind about studs and it's all because of Rocksbox! They've done such a great job picking such cute and unique ones that I'm starting to see the appeal!

3. Urban Gem Victoria Necklace: This necklace is beautiful to look at. That's about it. It doesn't sit too well on my neck which bums me out because I really wanted it to work. Oh well.

That's it for this box friends! Have you had a chance to try Rockbox yet? Let me know!

White Fringe

 

Hey my friends!

Hope your week is treating you well!

I have been wearing this purse everywhere lately. It such a fun summer piece.  I was so happy when I found it at Ross, calling my name. Now the challenge is keeping it clean for the rest of the season!

Rocksbox #5 Review

Hey my friends!

Another Rocksbox came in the mail and I can't wait to wear all these pieces!

I feel like the stylists are really starting to understand my taste in jewelry.

1. Perry Street Brianna Bracelet: Perfect. Beautiful. Keeping it.

2. Urban Gem Pave Halo Studs in Gold: I think I've mentioned before that I don't normally wear studs but I love that they keep including them in my boxes. It's a great way to branch out without actually committing to something. These are so pretty and versatile. I can wear them with pretty much anything I want!

3. Urban Gem Aria Necklace in Mint: I love this necklace! Mint is a really trendy color this year so I'm enjoying all the different ways I can pair this item with outfits. 

Another thing about this box is that everything in it is more affordable than normal. Like less than $50! I had a pretty difficult time deciding to only keep one item instead of them all! Another great set.

Burgundy Skater Dress

Hey my friends!

Hope you had a fulfilling week! Mine wasn't the best but it was better than last week so I'll take it!

I am currently in love with this dress. I bought it to wear in the fall but it didn't exactly fit right back then. I've been trying to eat healthy and workout more (which is so hard..why is it so hard?) and since then have been able to fit into the dress more comfortably! I know this color is more traditionally for fall or winter but I couldn't care less. I love how comfy it is. Do y'all have something that you like to wear regardless of the "appropriate" season? Let me know!

Easter Sunday Sunshine

 

Hey my friends!

I know this is a week late, but pre-planning posts is a thing and this is actually what I wore on Easter Sunday. 

I can't begin to tell you how much fun we had that day. After serving in the nursery and squeeeezing ourselves into the second service, we spent the rest of the day lounging by our friends' pool just enjoying the sun. It was such a beautiful day. Full of light in more ways than one!

Rocksbox #4 Review

Hey my friends!

I hope everyone had an amazing Easter. The hubs and I had a fun time serving in the nursery at church and hanging with friends after. I was so content with life and knowing that my King conquered death. He's amazing y'all.

I got my 4th Rocksbox in the mail just in time for Celebration Sunday and my colorful outfit. (Coming Soon)

This box is on FIRE!

I love it so much! Every piece is exactly something that I would pick out for myself.

1. Trina Turk Hexagon Bib Necklace: This is such a beautiful necklace! The colors are so fun and tropical. Plus they look great against my skin. I can't wait to experiment with the different ways I can wear this!

2. Anuja Tolia Blue Stone Cuff: Y'all know how I feel about bangles. This one is so pretty and went perfectly with my Easter outfit. I could honestly see myself keeping this one. I'll see how I feel when I get ready to send the box back.

3. Gorjana Leda Studs: I love that these studs are a statement on their own! They curve up in a really feminine way. Not too big but just enough to be noticed.

I'm really happy with this box, especially since the last one didn't really "wow" me. I think I'll be holding on to this one for a while since I like everything so much.

FYI - If you're interested in Rocksbox at all, let me know and I can get you your first month free!

Rocksbox #3 Review

Hey my friends!

Happy Friday eve! I got my third Rocksbox in the mail earlier this week and here are the goodies that were inside:

1. Perry Street Selina Crystal Necklace: I have wanted this necklace ever since I saw that it was available for request. It's so glamorous and sparkly! Driving home yesterday, I found that when the sun hits it just right I get rainbows all over the car ceiling. MINI RAINBOWS! I got excited. The only downside to this necklace is that fact that the silver shade doesn't really compliment my skin.

2. Sophie Harper Pave Taner Bar Mini Studs: These are cute but not really revolutionary. I like studs but don't wear them often enough to get really excited about these. Once again, not too keen on the silver color.

3. Gorjana Shimmer Disc Ring in Gold: This is so pretty and delicate! It's definitely a feminine piece. I'll enjoy it while I have it but I don't think I'll keep it. This is the type of thing that will get lost before next year. So teeny tiny!

That's it for now my dears. Please enjoy your weekend!

Rocksbox #2 Review

I took this pic with my phone!! I'm pretty proud of how it came out y'all.

Hey my friends!
I recently got my second Rocksbox in the mail and I thought I would share its contents with you.

1. Jules Smith Textured Open Cuff - I love this piece. I'm thinking about buying it. I have a thing for bangles and this one looks so pretty on my wrist!

2. Vanessa Mooney  Fairytales Necklace - Ok, I love turquoise and love pendents. So naturally when I saw this necklace on Instagram I added it to my wishlist. When I got it however, I wasn't impressed. It's not actually a pendent. Meaning the turquoise part you see hits right under my clavicle. I don't like that look and probably won't wear it while I have this set. This is their first miss so far.

3. Margaret Elizabeth Three Stone Drops in Labradorite - These earrings are way more beautiful in real life than this picture can show. The stones are translucent with a slight iridescence. They instantly add elegance to any outfit. I will be wearing these as often as I can because there is no possible way I could afford to keep them. Waaaaaaaaay out of my price range.

So there you have it! I'm not sure how to compare this to the first box since that one had two ok pieces that I liked and one that I loved (and kept! Hubs got it as my VDay present.) This one has two pieces that I love and one that I would never pick for myself. Either way, I'm still loving this subscription!

My Rocksbox is here!! *Not a sponsored post*

Hey my friends!

I hope you all are having a lovely week. I'm having a busy and cold week, but there are some bright spots here and there to liven things up. One of those bright spots was the arrival of my first ever Rocksbox! 

 As a lover of Netflix, presents, and sparkle y things all around, I was ecstatic when I found out about this subscription box. (I may or may not have teared up a little) With a membership, you get access to an unlimited closet of designer jewelry! You can see why my reaction is completely appropriate. These are things I could not afford normally! They send you three pieces at a time, you wear those pieces for as long as you want, then send them back when you're ready to get three more pieces! One of the best parts about this is that can buy any pieces you love at a discount. I think I might be tearing up again...

Here's what I got in my first box:

So cute!

It's like Christmas!

I love presents!!

So far I am loving everything they sent. I'm wearing the necklace and bangle to a play tonight. And probably the studs out to a Walking Dead viewing party this Sunday. (Well rounded girl right here y'all)

P.S. I honestly did not get any compensation or gifts from Rocksbox for this post. I get excited about things and I have to share, just asks my hubs. He's been hearing about this all week.
