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!

Homemade Beauty: Ice Facial

It may not sound very pleasant, but running an ice cube over your face has a ton of benefits for your skin! They will help to smooth your complexion by combating fat cells, easing wrinkles, fighting acne, and promoting blood circulation that will help heal past blemishes!  Be sure to  wrap the cubes  in a paper towel, or a baggie  because applying them directly to your skin can cause delicate blood vessels to break For an added  benefits to this  treatment, try freezing your cubes with watermelon, lemon, or rose!

Let's Talk...

I feel so bad, I have been such a flake with posting recently and the past month is when I should have been really focused on getting out content, because.... My summer classes started this week. And they are intense. Like, more so than I expected and I'm only a week in. Also, I just got my Summer schedule for the daycare I work at, and instead of my normal 9:30-5:30, I was switched to  6:00-12:30 ...  That is a huge difference, I've never gotten up that early in my life!  It is a lot better in some ways because I now have my full days free, but it's a difficult sleep schedule to get used to.   As a result, I've been spending my mornings at work, and my evenings doing homework, or attempting to have a social life...  This is my last Summer before college after all, so I want to have fun!  But it just makes things more difficult when I need to be in bed early for work, balance homework, and then there is this blog. I love having this...

What I Did This Month... November

This has been a month of quite a few firsts... I got my first job!! I am working at a daycare with kids ages 2-12 in the afternoons after school. I am really liking it, and I don't have to work weekends or Holidays so is is great! And then I got my second job... Back in the Summer I asked my cousin about having a job in his clothing store, and he told me that I could be a gift-wrapper closer to the Holidays. So I am doing that on Saturdays! I mean, I'm not complaining (much), I am making good money! But oh my gosh... I have been so tired! I started out the month making Triple Salted Caramel Cupcakes for my Mommy's birthday! The next semi-interesting thing I did this month was go to my neighbor/sister(sort of) wedding! I was a Guest Book Person/Dress Fluffer and Holder/Unofficial Bridesmaid... In all reality I have absolutely no idea what I was! But it was a pretty wedding, and we had fun :) This was her getting her hair done... Her and her (now) husband dec...
