Looking for the hottest Spring Styles before the stores are sold out? Wondering what to look for?
Bold statement bracelets have not retired to the jewelry box this season, and you will be trendier than ever when you finish the outfit off with fringe adornments.

Wondering what color to get yours in? Antique and gold accessories are on the rise. You can't go wrong with the antique look!

This bracelet has been a long time favorite, the sides are bendable to fit any size wrist. This is something that I look for when picking out a new closet staple.

My Own Personal Shopping Stylist; A quick & simple alternative to shopping at corporate retailers & Personal Stylist websites

8/27/2015

I recently have started to only buy quality clothing. You know what I mean...

You get a deal on an item, but it only survives the wash 2 times; before shortly, strings and elastic bands are coming from places everywhere.

Or have you bought an awesome looking shirt from the internet, only to find out when it arrives it is thin and not in USA sizes, or has major flaws?

I once purchased a sweater that the sleeves were not even halfway sewn down the arm, it was like someone knitted it....but then gave up and sent it anyway for me to finish.

I have been scoping out some local boutiques, and I love the quality, and the changing style that Collections of the Homeplace carries in stock.

What's even better than quality clothing, actually purchased from designers themselves?

I was so excited to find out that they even style outfits...What? Yea.. I no longer have to search for that matching necklace, purse, or accessory. Plus I have to say...one quick payment with Paypal and the outfit is on the way to me, dressing for certain events made easy on my favorite app Instagram.

But hold up...It gets even better, they sell on Instagram!! You can simply shop their daily listings as individual items, or as the complete sets they have styled. They have made shopping so much easier!

It's like my own personal shopping assistant, but without paying those monthly charges for the programs with large companies.

I checked into many of the personal styling companies, the quotes started easy on the pocket book, but then you get items way out of your price range, and then...you are responsible to ship the returns back, within a time frame! Way too much hassle....

Then the icing on the cake with these companies, after you decide to end the membership. They spam your inbox over and over trying to get you to spend more...I checked into one website styling assistance and the rates were well over $350, WAY out of my price range.

Here are some of my blogger picks of favorite items.

I love the way lace shorts look, however after trying a pair on they go right back on the shelf.


Shorts just keep getting shorter, which is why I am glad that I found this lace 2 piece set, and the skirt is long enough to wear to professional places.

Perfect for that special event! Get lots of compliments with this skirt and shirt! °•●》Buy now, link in profile《●•° #100usd #inselly #lace #laces #stylefordays #style #fashionchat #styleoftheday #stylegram #layeredskirt #outfitoftheday #outfit #love #corydontownsquare #corydon #shopping #boutique #stylish #bloggerfashion

Here are perfectly paired accessories that they recommend, I like the time they spend in styling the outfits.

Lace snags; they have paired a smooth necklace and small cross body bag to compliment.

This is an amazing outfit that I love, the entire color scheme complements each piece! Bell sleeves are perfect for the beach, fall style, and summer style.

You can even get 2 looks with this outfit!

Wear it as a dress, or wear it with leggings!

Check out this beautiful shirt, it is of course straight from a designer. This means they designed the shirt in complementing ways to your body. Unlike mass produced shirts that have a pocket or collar added into the design and no product testing or model reviews.

Plus a huge perk...
These necklaces made in Bali, they are made by women from other countries, whom are less fortunate. All sales send money back to these women so that they can have the necessities in life that they go without.

Tips for Closet Upkeep & Maintenance; Where to put out of season clothes

8/24/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Have you ever been angry from trying to stuff out of season clothes into your closet, and the closet door keeps slowly opening; like it is actually playing a game with you?

Yea that's me...I am that girl.
I have limited closet space, so usually I tend to stuff my winter coats into any closet that will permit the fluffy roommate.
With that said 1 coat takes up what 10 shirts would use. That's a lot of room being used for an article of clothing I will not be wearing until the next few months.

I have found that I can quickly slip my winter gear into these garment bags that I was able to get from Amazon. With my coat stored nicely, and safe I can then move it to another closet for storage, and not have to worry about anything happening to them.

Get your set here on Amazon, and clear some closet space: Garment Bags

I was given a set of these to try out at an extreme discount or free, in exchange for my honest review.

Fall Fashion; Fringe, Druzy's & Pairing Your Outfit For Fashionista Style

8/22/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Fall is quickly approaching, which means the summer clothes are in their final days before they are sent packing out of my closet. One main transition staple that screams FALL is BOOTS!

Not just any boots will do; you need a fun, stylish, yet practical pair of boots to bring your outfit together.
I always start with my jeans and top, I complete my ensemble with accessories second to last, and of course my fav foot wear last.

I also keep my purse well put together in easy zip bags to easily transfer to the perfect purse for the day.
Now comes the accessories, wondering what items made the list of the HOTTEST accessories for this year? Here is a list of great pieces you can reuse time and time again in your outfits.


  • Druzy Necklaces & Earrings
  • Long Tassel Necklaces finished with a simple pair of stud earrings
  • Statement necklaces, make sure to choose to appropriate colors for the season
  • Fringe ankle booties
  • Fringe Purses
  • Oversized sunglasses

Local boutiques, and shopping stores make the perfect stop to stock up on your accessory pieces. I found this great featured Druzy Set from a local store Lil Rap; let's give them a page like guys and gals, to show them some appreciation for keepin it trendy!
Check out the store Facebook page here: Lil Rap

How can I incorporate items I already have in my closet?

Picture
Great Question! I am glad you asked....
Dark denim is always a great choice, I prefer to keep the whisk marks to a minimum as you want to draw your outfit together. You do not need every item making a statement. Some of my top picks for denim this year are as follows, check these brands out!


  • Celebrity Pink Jeans (These are the softest jeans you will own, at a truely affordable cost)
  • Hudson Jeans (At the higher end of cost, but save up and get you at least 1 pair)
  • American Eagle High Rise Skinny (I own so many of these, and wear them at least 3 days out of the week)

How to wear the colors black and brown together?

Make sure when pairing the two colors that you choose complementing undertones used in the Dyeing process.

Some colors will feature cool tones, while others are constructed with warm tones
.

Check out the differences in the image here.

Make sure to incorporate closet staples you already have, and finish off with a dusting of a light scented perfume.

And lastly be comfotable and have fun with your style!

Where Do You Find The Cutest Baby Gifts? A Teething Necklace

8/3/2015

1 Comment

 
Picture
Baltic Amber is something I have never heard of! What is it?
Baltic Amber helps in the following areas:
  • Natural immune system boost
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Analgesic capabilities
The company also has stated: "By the time the baby or toddler start using the necklace you will start noticing the differences on their behavior & mood, thanks to the effectiveness of the succinic acid contained naturally on the amber and without suffering the secondary effects behind synthetic medicine like teething tablets or scrapings left by the teething toys on their mouth."

The True Benefits Of Amber Teething Necklace

• Noticeable Soothing, calming effects after a few hours of wearing it and much more after a few days of use.
• Natural Teething remedy without secondary effects as normal pharmaceutics drugs used for teething healing.
• Recover full energy, fussiness & avoid fever from teething.
• Babies and toddler looks adorable when wearing it while helping them with their teething problems.
• Highest Standard Quality used for making our Baltic Wonder amber teething jewelry.
• Safety knotted (Amber bead) & easy to use.
• Approved By Mothers!

Advised Safety Requirements:

• Always supervise the infant when wearing the necklace.
• Remove the necklace when the infant is unattended, even if it is only for a short period of time.
• Remove the necklace while the infant sleeps at day or night.
• Not allow the infant to mouth or chew the necklace.
Picture
I also found that if you do not want to use this as a baby necklace, you can wear it as a bracelet for the baby to play with instead of breaking your expensive jewelry!

I received this product at a savings price, or it is supplied to me in exchange for the purposes of a product review. All opinions are 100% my own and they reflect my honest & unbiased opinion.

What's That You Are Wearing? A SummerBliz Sun Hat! 

7/31/2015

0 Comments

 

Get yours here on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00URP7326




_SummerBliz features many nice options that quickly made them my favorite brand for my outdoor hat.

First, the hat is breathable and has a nice mesh liner.


Picture


The hat has 2 nice pull drawstrings to adjust the hat around your head, and under your chin. The hat that I chose if the color fatigue, it complements almost any color that you can wear. I did have a hard time deciding on a color, but I will be back for the others.

Picture

The Summerbliz hat has a nice brim that you can easily form, especially when it is raining to pour out the rain tunnel down the back. The brim of the hat is a nice width, which means you won't have water pouring down your back if it rains.

Summerbliz has made this hat with SPF 50 that will protect my scalp and face from sunburn, and it shades the sun from my sensitive eyes. And let's face it, when was the last time you saw a hat that actually protects from the sun?

Picture

This is the first hat that I absolutely love, I will be purchasing another color in the future and maybe one possibly for my mom whom swells when she gets too much sun. The SPF feature is something you don't see often, except for items made with the true outdoors in mind. This hat is perfect, I would not change anything about the hat.





I definitely recommend this hat to anyone that spends more than 4 hours outside a week in the direct sun, this hat is a sure bet to keep you cool and dry this summer!

Replacement Sunglass Lenses for Oakley Frames from Seek Optic A Cheaper Option

7/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Last year my husband bought the Oakley frames above from one of the stores. After owning them longer than a year, he quickly realized that he should have bought 2 pairs with 2 sets of lenses in different colors. Oakley replacement lenses are not cheap, I was lucky to be sent a pair of the Seek Optic lenses at a discounted price or free to try and test in exchange for my honest opinion.

I am glad that I found Seek Optics, they offer a great alternative to buying Oakley lenses for your frames.
The lenses snapped in quickly, and stay in place fitting perfect. The lenses can also be quickly removed to change the color to the original lighter shade if needed.

They provide a nice storage back to store your lenses, and have TONS of options on their website.
www.seekoptics.com
I also love that they offer returns, if you buy the wrong style you can quickly send them back to get the correct style. All of their orders ship within 1 day and they offer this stellar warranty on replacement lenses:

Seek Optics Brand Replacement Lenses: All lenses come with a Lifetime Warranty. *This warranty does not cover damage caused by accident, improper care, negligence, normal wear and tear, or the natural breakdown of colors and materials over extended time and use.

Here is how to redeem the warranty if needed:
Please return the defective item in original packaging for a refund or exchange. Please note, we cannot accept returns for product that has been modified or altered.

Right now they are running a special 60% off sale on select items, check out the sale items here
