FASHION NOVA: IS IT WORTH IT?

Wednesday, February 7, 2018

Is Fashion Nova Worth It?

For months social media/ blogosphere has been abuzz with talks about Fashion Nova-- an online clothing site akin to asos, but OMG SO GREAT BECAUSE KYLIE JENNER! Instagram models! 

I honestly didn't know too much about it, but after hearing so much raving I decided to give it a go. 

I only ordered three things, & only one out of the three actually fit. (it didn't fit well mind you, I just made it work) Something you should KNOW if you're going to order: SIZE UP. At least one size, I would actually go with two. It's insane that sizing isn't the same all across the board, but what can ya do?

It should also be noted that it's hard to know what your body will look like in an item, because every model is so grossly photoshopped and it's just not representative.

THE ORDER
The Ahead Of Yourself bodysuit (in small) is the only piece that fit, & I'm glad it did because bodysuits are final sale. (even though it doesn't say it on the product page) I love a good stripe & it's a really good suit.

Off Daze Midi Dress in XS was WAY TOO SMALL. Buttons were a poppin, skin was a showin,.. it was not cute, & I was so disappointed because i fell in love. I definitely want to get this in a bigger size, most likely a medium.

Total Betty Plaid Dress in S-- I could get away with this in a medium as it was just a tad too tight in all the wrong places. But again, SO CUTE, just too small.

Initially it took the order about four days to even process before it shipped out, which is cutting it close, but I let it slide because once it shipped it only took a couple of days to get to me.

THE VERDICT

I wanted to like FN because of all the good things I've heard, but I think they just got lucky. (or sponsored, it is what it is) But their return policy is less than stellar & I'm not a fan of picking things that *might* fit & then if I have to return them being stuck with store credit. 

THE CLOTHES ARE SUPER CUTE, but to me, it's not worth it. I would rather spend money on a place that I know & trust the sizing, and am friendly with the return policy.

For now, I'll leave FN to the (instagram) professionals.

Six Outfits & Styling Tips | Spring Lookbook

Friday, March 18, 2016

The seasons are a changin and I'm so ready to break out all the spring things. I love putting fall & winter outfits together, but Texas never lets you know how much you'll be able to do until the very last minute. Typical.

But. The spring & summer stuff I was made for. At least ya let me have that one, TX. 

Anyway, I've put together six outfits & some styling tips I'm into for this season, plus a quick little video for you. (!!!)



Let's talk some quick & dirty styling tips:

1// White denim is always in season (not just before September!) but it's at its prime in spring. Freshen things up with a patterned tunic & long necklace.

2// A leather vest adds a "tough chic" feel to a girly dress. Don't be afraid of unexpected textures for the season!

3// A collared blouse tucked into high waisted shorts= instant put together look. Kimono optional.

4// Y'all know my denim love; add a cropped or shorter top to a denim skirt for instant proportion. Rose gold flats add a chic touch!

5// A lightweight dress with pops of color is a springtime must-have. Play it up with a statement necklace & some flats or wedges.

6// Wanna make a dress a tad more casual? Tie a chambray shirt over it and voila.  





Which looks are your favorites? I honestly can't pick HA. Lemme know your fave kind of outfits for spring!

Four Steps to the Perfect Red Lip

Tuesday, April 14, 2015

Today I'm filling you in on my "perfect red lip" routine. 

It's simple, easy, and only four steps! 

1// Moisturize
Adding some balm first keeps the lips from getting dry or cracked.

2// Line 
I'm not a lip liner person, but I love transparent liner that helps keep color stay put. I just line like you would normally and bam, time for the next step.

3// Add color
This is the fun part. Go in with the red of your choice (today mine is Rimmel Moisture Renew As You Want Victoria)

4// Blot
Don't forget this step! It ensures excess color is removed and gives things a bit of a matte look.

And you're good to go!

Fill me in on your red techniques! What's your go-to red lipstick?

Anyway, on to the little video......

February favorites

Tuesday, March 3, 2015

A couple of things: 

Where did February go? Did anyone see it? Please let me know asap.

I would've had this video up sooner, but you know when you're thisclose to being finished with editing and you decide not to save because you think you're invincible and you can get it done and then your computer does a black screen of death? Yeah. That happened.

SAVE YOUR STUFF. 

This has been a PSA.

Now on to the viddie vid......

All about the eyebrows

Wednesday, June 18, 2014



There's something you should know about me. I'm an eyebrow person. The eyebrows are the first thing I notice and I must admit, I silently judge them a lot. 

I know. 

But I have found an eyebrow lifesaver.
