Bloggers to Blame

I saw this idea over on Kate's page and couldn't help myself but to borrow her idea!

You all know how influential other bloggers can be...and usually people have some great ideas/products/items to show you...and then you know you just HAVE to have it!

I (happily) blame these bloggers for the following purchases:

{1} Jess gets the blame for these finds:

The nude flats were only $16.99, and the cute wedges I got last year from Nordstroms during a sale (can't remember what I paid). 

{2} Pinterest Told Me To gets the blame for this beautiful Loft sweater

It is seriously SO SOFT!! As soon as she posted about this, I loved the fun pattern and knew I just had to have it. It took me until she mentioned it a second time (and it being restocked) before I finally bit the bullet, but I did. I love it, and have gotten a bunch of compliments on it each time I wear it. 

{3} Every blogger who participated in the Nordstrom sale gets the blame for these earrings:

 I will give Jess some extra credit here (again) because I had trouble deciding between the multi-colored and the pink ones. I'm SO glad I went with the multi-colored ones. They seriously go with everything and I get compliments all the time when I wear these!

{4} Amanda gets the blame for this cardigan/sweater from Target

It is seriously one of the softest sweater cardigans ever! Her snap about this find (and the discount through the Cartwheel app) had me on a Target run within 24 hours because I knew I had to have it. Both of my sister-in-laws asked me where I got it (and were shocked when I said Target), and one of my coworkers asked me if it was cashmere! I laughed and told her "yeah, it's Target cashmere".

Amanda also gets the blame for the purchase of my Rebecca Minkoff  crossbody Avery bag in "aubergine" (I love saying that word) this weekend. It's already sold out, which I'm not surprised about because it was almost 50% off by the time you applied all of the discounts/sales.

{5} Natalie gets the blame for this striped tunic from Old Navy

 ....because I had been searching for a dress or tunic with thin black and white stripes since before it officially became Fall. Lo and behold, she posted this great, inexpensive find (it was $12!!) and I snapped it up faster than you could say "credit card". Not only is it super comfy, but it's the perfect Fall piece!

{7} Paige gets the blame for my interest in, and eventual purchase of, my starter essential oils kit and diffuser.

I've been loving my diffuser since I got it, and used it throughout my cold the last two weeks of October!

{7} Pamela gets the blame for this Essie nail polish purchase

 Even though it's not the exact same color that she posted about, it is pretty darn similar and I found it when I was searching for the color she mentioned. Another great Fall nail color!

Thanks to each and every one of you for the inspiration. I thank you...my credit card does not! :)
What do you blame on other bloggers?

Rocksbox {#6}-Best One Yet!

I feel so behind on stuff lately! I know the last time I showed you guys what I got in my Rocksbox, I said the next one that I got was by far the best one and that I'd share it soon. Cut to at least a month later...oops!

But at least I'm sharing it today and BOY was it a great box! If I had all the money in the world (and hadn't been spending mondo money on things like the Nordstrom sale), I would have kept each of these pieces. As it was, I only kept one.

Moon and Lola Marseilles Necklace: $38

Kendra Scott Elle Earrings in Slate: $44- KEPT ($34 with my monthly spend)

Jules Smith Cage Arrow Bracelet in Gold: $30

I got SO much use out of this whole set! The necklace was super dainty and perfect to wear with almost every outfit.

The bracelet also went with any outfit, and added just a touch of bling!

And the earrings were the perfect statement piece for dressing up! 

Here are just some of the outfits that I wore them with:

Everyday/Casual Friday:

 Double Date Night Out:

 Work day (obviously when it wasn't Fall)

 Baby Shower:

These all worked so well in different combinations with each other! I seriously should have just bought all of them!

I did feel like $38 was a bit pricey for how dainty the little necklace was (after all, it was just a curled wire), but it was still so simple and cute that it went with just about everything!

I wore the bracelet almost every day that I had this set because it was so wearable with every outfit that I had!

And the earrings, I've worn a touch less, because they 're more of a statement piece and not as much for everyday, but I love them just the same, and have gotten tons of compliments when I've worn them.

Hands down, this was my favorite Rocksbox to date!

Rocksbox Review {#5}

I'm on my 6th Rocksbox right now--and completely loving it--, but I totally forgot that I never shared my 5th box with you guys! 

In my box, I got the following items:
Kendra Scott Parker Studs in Magenta Magneseite-$36

Gorjana Durango Bolo Necklace- $52

ECRU Metal Bow Ring in Gold-$44

The ring was the cheapest thing I have ever seen. The fact that they would charge anything more than $5 for that ring (let alone $44 on "discount") is laughable to me. It was made out of cheap metal that was faded. I did not wear it once.
Luckily the other items in the box were wayyyy better!

I really liked the pop of color from the KS earrings. They were small studs and went with a ton of outfits. I wore these a bunch when we were down at the beach, to add a fun pop of pink!

The Gorjana necklace was also a winner. My sister-in-law actually asked me where I got it because she wanted one for herself. If I hadn't already gotten a longer necklace in another Rocksbox (that I had kept) I would have kept this necklace.

(it's hard to see, but I'm wearing the pink earrings and the necklace here--pardon my no-make up and our squinty eyes from looking into the sun)

Overall, I really liked the two pieces I got from this Rocksbox. The one that I currently have is my absolute favorite, though! I'll be sharing that with you guys soon!
