Your New One Stop Shop For Affordable Jewelry

A couple of month’s ago I came across the website 7 Charming Sisters which carries trendy and affordable costume jewelry. They recently made their pieces even less expensive. Starting at $7 for sale items, everything is either $17, $27, or $37. You may remember seeing me wear 7 Charming Sisters on this blog and Instagram. Here’s a refresher…. The company was founded by 7 “work sisters” each with their own personality and jewelry style to match. You can take the style quiz to find which jewelry matches your personality best. According to the quiz I got “Super Mom.” While I am not a mother, the description is pretty accurate: “You’re into wearable jewelry that transitions from work to school events without a fuss. With everything you have to do, you don’t have time for nonsense.” So true! Here are some of my favorite pieces at each price point: Click here to SHOP SHOP SHOP! https://www.7charmingsisters.com

I Found a New Place For Super Stylish AND Inexpensive Sunglasses

Summer is quickly approaching which means it’s time to get those sunglasses out! If you’re like me, losing a pair of sunnies is inevitable. I feel like each season another one of them mysteriously vanishes from my life, and it’s always my favorite pair. 🙄 This is why I prefer not to spend a lot of money on them. I came across a website that has super cute frames for an unbelievable price. It’s called Sunglass Warehouse and everything is $20 and under. Naturally, I picked out a few pairs and put them to the test. Here’s a few snaps I took of each pair (you’ll see me actually wearing them in future blog posts). Ocatvia Gold frame with blue mirrored lenses. You may have seen me wear these already, HERE. These are definitely the most va va voom out of the three. I’ve never tried a pair of mirrored lenses, and at only $12.95 it was kind of a no brainer. Honestly, they are a bit much for me. I probably won’t wear them as …

Inexpensive Find of the Day: Flower Eyewear

You may have heard of Drew Barrymore’s beauty line for Wal-mart, called Flower. But did you know she also has an eyewear collection? Flower Eyewear is also sold at Wal-mart. Each pair of optical glasses, sunglasses, and reading glasses were designed by Drew herself. I received two pairs of sunglasses to test out for myself. Fun fact: Each pair is named after one of Drew’s characters from movies she’s been in. Below you’ll find “Casey” and “Sheila.” I like the aviator style of this pair. I don’t have anything like it. I’ll be posting an outfit of the day post soon, where I’ll be wearing these babies. So, stay tuned to see what they look like on. Click here to purchase, $39. The case it comes in is super pretty, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a cleansing cloth to go along with it. Gotta keep the lenses so fresh and so clean, clean. These are a little bit more plain and everyday. Click here to purchase, $39. I prefer the first pair since they …

What to Buy The Special Men on Your Holiday List This Year

I am not sure if it is just me, but men are hard to shop for. Nothing says I love you like a boring tie, or a pair of socks. With this gift guide, I really tried to find items that are special. This year, gift him something he won’t want to return! Mantry For the Foodie Mantry is a food subscription service that curates 6 food products every two months from top American food artisans. Each box fits a particular theme, ie. Bourbon BBQ, and Mantry shows you how to cook and entertain with the new goods. King and Stone For the Shoe Gamer For only $25/month your guy can select a new pair of shoes every season. King and Stone has a good range of sneakers, oxfords, and casual slip ons. Perfect for any style. Smart Phone Sanitizer For the Clean Freak I think this is genius. There’s so much gunk on our screens from the oils on our skin that we can’t even see. According to a study, a cell phone has 18x …

3 Holiday Gift Suggestions That I Tested Myself

Hips-Sister | For the Workout Woman Created by a woman who wanted to design an alternative to the dreaded fanny pack, Hips-sister is a fashionable and functional belt that you can slip over your hips and store your phone, keys, money, earphones, etc. when you workout.  I think this is a genius idea. There’s been times where I didn’t have pockets to keep my phone or keys in, but I wanted to go for a run on the campus track. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving it on the bleachers where I wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on it, so I awkwardly held everything in my hand, or in my bra. Thankfully, Hips-sister is a much better alternative. I can be hands free when I run without having to worry about anything spilling out.  Hips-sister comes in three sizes, A, B, and C ranging from a size 2-24. They have plenty of fabric choices and colors so you can express yourself in your own unique way. Best of all, they’re very inexpensive, averaging at $25. …

This Is What Every Fall/Winter Outfit Needs

Something is missing in this outfit. Can you tell what it is? Here’s a hint: It will go on the upper half of my body. It’s a blanket scarf! Yes, it’s back. I talked about it last year and I am bringing it up again this year. Around this time of season, when it’s just now starting to get nippy out, this scarf can literally be worn as a way to cover your arms. It’s a great option if you’re not quite cold enough to commit to a coat. And when it does climb to freezing temps, this baby is just what you need to bundle up with and wrap tightly around your neck. A neutral option like this one from Tj Maxx ($20!) is perfect because it literally goes with everything! Shop the look! All photos taken by Jack Soltysik

I am an Adult Woman, And I Enjoy Wearing Tutus

When I first saw this Mystree tutu dress in the boutique I work at, I thought it was so cool. It took me a while to actually purchase it because I needed to convince myself I’d actually wear it. I tried it on, and all of a sudden the ideas started rolling. I can wear it with a sweater on top, or throw a cardigan over it. I can pair jeans with it, or my Adidas track pants, I can wear a long sleeve top underneath… I knew this would be a special weapon in my wardrobe. And I was right! I wear this thing more often than I’d like to admit. When I feel like my outfit needs that extra something, I add in the tutu and it gives me that edge I wanted. I really want to do a full lookbook showing how I wear this thing. For now, enjoy these lovely photos taken by Yanping Nora Soong. If you love dressing in a unique way, and like adding a little quirk to …

I Bought The Perfect 21st Birthday Dress For $12.99!

On October 3rd, I turned 21. Leading up to the big day, my first thoughts were not “what will my first legal drink be,” but instead “what will I wear??” Let me just preface this post by saying, I am not a party girl. I’ve never had a fake ID,  and while I’ve had a few drinks here and there before my 21st (sshh), it was never something I partook in regularly. With that being said, I don’t really own any club dresses, or sexy party outfits. I see a lot of girls at my college who wear these skin tight bodycon dresses, and while it looks great on them, it’s just not for me! I don’t want everyone to see each and every curve, and all the bones in my body. But alas, this was my big birthday. I felt obligated to find a dress that was a little out of my comfort zone– something sexy, but still me. I checked the typical stores that I thought would have what I was looking for: …

Good News, You May Be Able to Get Rid of Your Iron

One of the quickest ways to put  a damper in your mood is to select your favorite dress or top to wear for the day, only to realize it’s full of wrinkles. At this point, you’re already running late to your first class, and don’t have time to whip out the iron and ironing board, wait for it to get hot, and spend another 5 minutes pressing it. Downy just released an improved wrinkle-releasing spray that just may save you from all of that exhaustion. The wrinkle-releaser plus is known as “the wonder bottle” because it has 101 uses for the home, family, and traveler. Some of these include removing creases from pillowcases and bedsheets, removing odors to freshen up furniture and clothing, as well as eliminating static cling. I decided to try it out for myself… *Click to enlarge and read steps STEP 4 is to let the garment hang and dry for a minute. As you can see the spray didn’t 100% get rid of every wrinkle, but it did greatly reduce the …
