Nadine West: May

I signed up for a new subscription service!  I know... So surprising.
This one is Nadine West; it is a clothing subscription service, but unlike many other similar services it is only $9.98 per month!  The items in the package tend to run from around $10 to $30, but if you choose to keep anything then the price of shipping will be deducted from whatever you don't return!  It also comes with a prepaid shipping label and whatever you don't like you put back in the bag it came in, cover the old shipping label, and stick it in the mail!  Easy as that!

Sorry, I couldn't wait to open it to get a really good picture...  But isn't it wrapped super cute?
When you sign up you take a style quiz picking examples of clothes and jewelry you like and how often you would like to receive them, as well as your preference on colors and patterns.  Each month you should receive at least one clothing item, as well as two or three other accessories!

They nailed my taste in earrings!  These were so nice and dainty.  They felt maybe just a *little* bit cheap, meaning they were very light, but I did not put any real wear into them so I can't speak to how well they would hold up. I was very tempted to keep them, but there was another item in here that I liked just a bit more.  These were listed at $10.99, which the shipping would almost pay for itself!

This is the "Beauty Deeply Rooted" necklace.  This was probably my least favorite item in the shipment, but it still wasn't ugly by any means!  This necklace was listed at $21.99, which I feel is a bit high for something like this, but considering I decided not to keep it it doesn't really bother me!

Now this I did keep (and please excuse my lack of shoes...).  So, this was listed as a top on their website, but you all agree this is a dress right?  I even checked on their website at the shipment history to see if maybe I was sent the wrong thing, but it is listed as a top on there as well even though the model is wearing it as a dress!  So who knows, but I like it!

The back is my favorite part though...  You definitely have to wear a bralette with it, but I think that just made it even cuter!  This was listed at $20.49.  I really didn't need a new dress... But it was just so cute!  I can't wait to wear it at the beach! 

This is the final piece they sent me, a color block t-shirt dress.  Though I loved the fit of the dress, I just wasn't a big fan of the pattern.  I really wanted to like it too, especially since it was only $12.99!  Oh well, I rated it pretty high and specified in my feedback that I liked the style but not the pattern, so maybe I'll get another one like it in the future.

Quick break for puppy cuddles!!

Overall I really liked this subscription service, so I decided to keep it for a bit longer.  We will see how the next few go!  If you would like to try it out you can enter the code "Nadine" on their website to get free shipping on your first box!

Emerald Isle Pics

I have been asked to post some more of my personal pictures of Emerald Isle since the last post I made, I actually haven't had the opportunity to go back since I got my new camera (and laptop) so I don't have any current pictures. I do happen to have some pictures of the beach (it was early spring and early in the morning, so they are kind of bland) that we went to on a school trip that is just a short distance up the island.  I hope you like them!! :) I PROMISE I will post some more (better ones) as soon as I can!

Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did??  I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels.  They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside! The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well!  I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one.  But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection.  The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile."  It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring. The first item in the box were mini bath bombs.  I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones!  I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it?  But no worries

Beach Bag Essentials

I thought it would be fun to show you all what I keep in my beach bag while we are at the beach! So the first thing we need to address is the bag.   You need one that is functional, as well as cute, don't think only about the cute factor!   My mom has one that I borrowed for my beach trip earlier this summer that functions as a bag on top with a cooler on the bottom!   This is simply a canvas Del Sol bag, but it sure gets the job done! The first thing I find absolutely necessary at the beach is reading material!   This year I brought the second book in the Seafina series, as well as a set of James Patterson’s “book shots” called Kisses at Midnight.   I love reading, but I so rarely have the time to devote to a book.   The beach is the perfect place to finish them all! If books aren’t your thing then try something a little lighter with a magazine.   I carried these two around all week and never cracked them open because I was so into my books, bu
