When in Cabo Wear a Fiesta Dress

I’m not sure I can think of anything more enjoyable then picking out tropical outfits for a mid June beach getaway! While the act of putting the clothes in the suitcase is not fun, shopping for and coordinating outfits definitely is. Having a few days worth of looks already lined up, I just needed one more outfit to pair with my lace up gladiators from ShoeDazzle – my new fav pair of shoes.     One afternoon while scrolling through my Instagram feed, I came across the cute online boutique, Jess Lea. Offering an assortment of affordable and trendy fashions, there it was, the Cozumel Dress – a perfect fiesta dress for a Cabo getaway! After purchasing the item, I received a sweet personalized email from the store owner along with the tracking information. The package arrived promptly – it was a great shopping experience.     I styled this playful dress with a belt to synch in the waist, along with some turquoise Kendra Scott earrings and wood bangles. The gladiator wedge sandals were a great finishing touch to my fiesta attire along with the straw hat and “Margarita Verde.” There ain’t no such thing as an on location shoot, […]

Update your shoe rack with ShoeDazzle!

Are you a shoe lover?! I think it is safe to assume that every fashionista suffers from a mild case of shoe addition. Meet your newest obsession: ShoeDazzle! Sort of like the subscription model to BirchBox that we discussed last week, for $39.00 per month you can become a VIP member to ShoeDazzle and have a personalized shoe “showroom” emailed to you monthly. Chances are you’ll be eager to buy a pair or two and your membership fee is waived when you spend $39 or more worth of product each month. VIP members receive awesome benefits such as: free shipping and exchanges, 25% off retail prices, and exclusive collection previews. The way I look at it is, if you are already spending that much money or more on shoes per month, why not join?!     I only recently enrolled in the VIP program, and I must admit I have been very impressed so far. No the quality is not at the same level as a pair of Jimmy Choos, but for the price point, the quality is just fine. After taking my initial shoe quiz, I was presented with an assortment of shoes matching my preferences. Right off the […]

Birchbox + Gap

If you’re a beauty connoisseur, then chances are you already have a subscription to Birchbox. But if you have yet to sign up or have never heard about it, then tune in now! Birchbox launched in 2010 when co-founders Katia and Hayley decided there had to be a more efficient way for beauty enthusiasts to shop and try new products. Together they came up with a subscription model known to you and I as Birchbox. For only $10 per month, you will receive a handful of goodies to your doorstep. The best part about it is the monthly delivery is tailored to your preferences and it includes your favorite brands as well as up and coming brands. For those of you who find shopping for cosmetics overwhelming and don’t even know where to begin, you’ll be happy to know that these products have been reviewed hundreds and sometimes thousands of time making your decision making process a lot less stressful.     This summer, you can shop all of your favorite Birchbox goods, build your own box and call dibs on an exclusive 3-month subscription at the one and only Gap! They have teamed up to hopefully become your one stop […]

Cherry On Top Dress

Summer is the season for fun. This goes for all aspects of life. Food, vacations, concerts, and most of all apparel. I am happy to report that The Red Dress Boutique‘s online store is home to many summer wardrobe must-haves. From dresses, to tops and bottoms, to jewelry and shoes, if you’re on the lookout for some sizzlin’ summer styles, chances are you’ll find them here. Better yet, you won’t break the bank while doing it. Excluding the designer jeans, maybe the most expensive item for sale is $60?! Do yourself a favor and go check things out for yourself. You can thank me later!     Food items are still trending in the fashion world. Everyday as I scroll through my Instagram feed I notice more and more pineapples, watermelons, and donuts! But not on a plate ready to eat, instead in the form of t-shirts, purses, and even home decor. Originally I thought this trend was just a fad but it does not appear to be loosing its hype. So when I came across the “Cherry On Top” dress, I decided it was time to join in on the food clothing fun. A similar silhouette to my fav […]

Wish List Wednesday: Beach Party Essentials

With a beach trip just around the corner, I thought it would only be fitting to feature a few of this season’s hottest beach party essentials on KK and GG!   You cannot plan for a fun filled day in the water without an inner tube. But don’t settle for a boring old gray one either, consider it a fashion accessory and upgrade to this Gigantic Donut Pool Float! It might sound silly, but the rainbow sprinkles make it easy to match with and let’s get real, it is just plain cute!     What good will it do you packing all of this goodness if you do not have a proper beach bag? For a whopping $7 carry all of your items in style with this bright magenta striped beach tote! It’s that good. You might as well also purchase the turquoise. A girl loves options!     If you are spoiled by the San Francisco mild temperatures, and the high eighties make you a little nervous then this one is for you. Be sure to pack along your BTOOP clip on battery operated fan. Available in four charming colors – I chose the sunny yellow. Attach this sucker […]
