Nadine West: Second Shipment

This was my second shipment of Nadine West, which is a styling service which sends you clothing and accessories for about $10 a month (or every two weeks if you prefer).  You have about a week to a week and a half to try on the cloths and decide if you like them enough to keep them, and if you do the price you paid for shipping is subtracted from the total cost of the items you elect to keep!  What make it even better?  Everything is under $30!

Can you see the disdain on my face? I hate skulls and was really disappointed to see this print top in my bag.  It was also suuuuuper tight.  This might be some peoples style, but not mine.  And it seems so off the wall!  Everything else in my bags have been so bright and cheery, and this is so dark.  Regardless, this is the Ailsa top and it retails for $17.49.

This is called the Elena romper and it retails for $29.99. So, I kept saying in all of my reviews on Nadine West that I wanted rompers and I liked off the shoulder tops.  In theory they found me the perfect one because it is both!  But sadly, it is also the EXACT same print as the dress I kept from my last shipment.  I didn't really want two clothing items this similar, so I was forced to send this one back. (Oh, and sorry about the lighting!)

This is the Summer Mornings dress and it retails for $29.99.  I was so excited when I pulled this out of the bag, I loved the print!  But then I put it on... I get the whole baggy style that is in currently, and I can get behind it, but this was huge!  It came too low in the back to work, but not low enough to justify a bralette.  And do you see the way the armholes gape?  I wasn't too excited about that...

These are the Morning Dew Sparkle Drop Earrings and they retail for $9.99.  I think they look like coral and were kinda cute, so I kept them to justify what I paid for the shipping of this bag, but I wouldn't necessarily have bought them if I'd seen them in a store somewhere.

And I forgot to take a picture of this necklace close up, but you can see it in some of the outfit pictures above!  This is the Morning Dew Sparkle Necklace, which goes with the earrings, and it retails for $18.99.  I thought this was a really pretty necklace, and the price wasn't awful, but I just didn't really want to shell out extra money this month, so I sent it back.


If you can't tell, I was wasn't nearly as enthralled with this shipment as I was the last one.  Even the things that stood out to me, such as the romper and dress, fit weird or had something holding me back from keeping them.  Oh well, I figure I will keep it for a bit longer and see how it goes!

DIY Beach Spray

 I always wanted the Beach Spray for your hair that gives you the just came off of the beach wavy look, but there so dang expensive! So this is a recipe you can use to make your own!  Things You'll Need Plastic spray bottle 1 tsp. sea salt 8 oz. water 1/2 - 1 tsp. coconut oil, olive oil or light conditioner Lemon Juice 3 drops essential oil (optional) Instructions Pour water into the plastic spray bottle. Add sea salt, NOT table salt. The more salt you add, the more "crunchy," textured and beach like your hair will feel. Add moisturizer to combat the drying factor of the salt. Use coconut oil, olive oil or light conditioner. Avoid adding more than a teaspoon because it can weigh down your hair. Add a few drops of lemon juice to your mixture if you plan on being out in the sun at all. Cute hair and highlights, Score! :) Add essential oil for fragrance and additional benefits.

Outer Banks 2013: Day 5, Tuesday June 11th

9:00 AM Just woke up :) I am learning to sleep straight through my brother waking up at ungodly times ;) We made a run to Food Lion again last night to get some more of the Blueberry Cream Cheese muffins for Breakfast, so I had one of those. I think I am in love! They are just amazing :) The more I look the more places I find on me that are sunburned! We decided to spend the day off of the beach today, so maybe it will feel better by tomorrow :) 10:10 AM I know I don't usually do favorites posts or anything, so can I add a small one into here? It is the L'oreal Magic Skin BB Cream.  I had never really fallen into the BB Cream craze because I have oily skin and it just sounded like a tinted moisturizer. My mom bought this one and I just decided to try it, I love it! It has a very matte finish, so it is perfect for me :) My only issue with it is that my mom got the medium shade and I think it might be a little dark/orange-y on me. But either way, it is a great pr...

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...
