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!

VoxBox: Tressemé Beauty-Full Volume

I know I don't usually post at 9 o'clock on Monday nights, but I wanted to go ahead and get this out to you all while I had time, because... I got another VoxBox! This one was the Tresemmé Reverse Your Routine box with a full sized shampoo and conditioner. This is a Volumizing system, and is reffered to as "Reverse Your Routine" because you conditioner before you shampoo... Weird right?  I have to say I was a little confused and skeptical at first. The concept is that when you put conditioner in your hair and rinse then residue is left on weighing down your hair.  My thoughts were that the residue left were the moisturizing properties and that you wouldn't want to rid yourself of all of them... It just seemed a little pointless. I have been using this combination periodically for a few weeks now, and surprisingly I actually really like it!  When I get out of the shower my hair does feel much lighter than usual.  Though it is hard to tell if I have...

Walmart Beauty Box: Fall

I fully intended to get this up on Saturday, as per usual, especially considering finals are over and I am now I break (!!!), but when I went to start writing Friday night the internet was out!  I go to Appalachian State University, with the possibility of 18,000 students being on the internet at any given moment and it works fine... I come home to a house of four people and it immediately crashes.  But regardless, I wanted to try to get this post up anyway just for the fun of it!  (And because I am a bored college student with no job and nothing to do for the next month and a half so... hit me up!) This is the fall edition of the Walmart Beauty Box, which is a $5 quarterly subscription.   These can kind of be hit or miss, but because they are only $20 spread out over a year and a nice little surprise when they show up, I keep it anyway.  This one was actually pretty decent! This is a "travel size" tube of the Hello Whitening toothpaste. ...

Apartment Tour + Fall Decor!

It's coming a bit late, because by this point I have Christmas decor up, but why not?  It isn't December yet, and I loved my fall decor and wanted to show it off! Entrance and "Dining Room" We did our best to section off the living room/dining room/kitchen area so it had a house feel that trashy college apartment.  We also tried to add all the things we could to make it feel more bright and homey since only one piece of furniture in here is actually ours!  The rest was provided for us. So for the dining are my roommate who replaced her desk chair with a comfy version brought out her chair so we could have 5 seats.  We then added cute placemats which stay out year round For fall decor I added the glittery leaf centerpiece and a few candles, as well as the wine bottles! I painted these, and though they aren't my best I still liked them!  I used twine on the top, stickers from Target around the sides, and painters tape to make the letters, and th...
