Nadine West: Third Shipment

Another Nadine West bag! This is such a fun little bag, and I have really looked forward to every one thus far!

These are the Simple Sparkles "diamond" stud earrings. Though these are very cute and I actually kinda wanted to keep them, I have too many pair that are too similar. These did retail for $6.49 though, which is suuuuper reasonable.

This is the Make a Wish necklace. I wanted to like this based off of the name, but it just really isn't my style! I don't feel like I can pull off a crown necklace/princess persona... But anyway, this retails for $17.99, which I feel is a bit much for cheap jewelry.

This is the Constance top. It is like a baby pink chevron cami, and I wasn't into this really. I have enough camis, and am not really into printed ones, so this just wasn't my style. This retailed for $9.49, which isn't too bad

Fianlly, we have the Zipped floral romper, and as you might have guessed it has a zipper up the front allowing you to decide how low cut you want it to be (and also making it easier to take on and off). This is by far my favorite item I've received yet!! I have worn it constantly from the minute it arrived. It retails for $29.99, or course, I always like the most expensive thing in the bag!

I have a cool story behind it though... I kept earrings in my last shipment that I wasn't crazy over, but I didn't want to let the money I paid for shipping go to waste. I contacted them and asked if I could send them back and have that price credited toward this romper. I didn't think they'd agree, but thought I would ask anyway. They let me do it! This is the most customer service oriented company I have EVER had any dealings with. They reply quickly to questions and are super accommodating. You have to love them!

This bag was a win based solely on the romper, if there had been anything else in there I liked then I would have had to make a decision, and who wants that?

Nadine West: Fourth Shipment

So this wasn't the most successful shipment ever, but I still got one nice piece out of it! And they left me a sweet surprise which I'll tell you about at the end, so I wasn't upset at all!
This is actually two items from my shipment! This outfit contains both the shirt and leggings from this month, and they kind of go together!
Though I really liked the pattern of the leggings, they are much more like tights. They were totally see through, which made me pretty sad. If they were marketed as tights then I wouldn't be too disappointed, but these were called Leggings. They retailed for $14.49, and I didn't keep them.
The shirt fit very well and was extremely comfy. I have been looking for a shirt this color, so I was pretty excited to see it in my bag, even though it is pretty basic. This shirt also retailed for $14.49, and I did elect to keep it!
These are the "Beauty Within" earrings, and I'm actually pretty sure I received the matching neckl…

Date Box: October

So you may or may not remember, about two Christmases ago I ordered a Date Box! It had hot chocolate and mugs, with a gingerbread house kit (you can find the full review here). My boyfriend as I had the most fun with it, and the mugs were gorgeous, so on a whim this October I decided to give it another try!
As stated in the last post, it is about $40 a month, which is a bit steep in my opinion, but if you really need some new date night ideas, then this would be a fun and creative way to get them. If you search, you can find a discount code bringing the price of your first box down to $5. I'm not going to post the code because it isn't mine to give out, but they are easy to come by! They also offer a digital option now, which is $8 a month. If you scroll down to the bottom of their about page there is a bar where you enter your email and they send you your first digital date for free, which seems to be a cooking class for two!
The experience is significantly more person…

Three Ways to Christmas Shop on the Cheap

Christmas shopping is something a lot of us tend to put off until the last second, and then are scrambling the week before Christmas to buy things just because you feel like you have to. You end up buying something, at exorbitant obnoxious prices, that you know the person you are buying for won’t even like!

I came up with a few ways you can get awesome presents, not have to kill yourself trying to get them at the last minute, and not break the bank...
My first suggestion, is to shop in advance! I know, this seems super simple, but you wouldn't believe the difference it makes to start a couple months in advance, and just buy things you know the person would like as you see them. This year, I stopped in an antique shop on my way to work one day, just to look around. I ended up leaving with this gorgeous bowl, mug, and tea set with I am planning to give to family members, and because the place was about to close down, I got them for half off the original price!That leads me right in…
