Review: Sweeney Boutique Scarves

As we are quickly transitioning into Fall and the change of weather is among us, it's only right that I share with you some great Fall pieces.

I've told you all before that Summer and Fall are my favorite seasons. I especially love Fall fashion! As soon as it starts getting a bit more breezy here in the Bay Area, you can bet I'll be   pullin' out those scarves, boots, and cardigans! 

I recently received two beautiful, hand made scarves from Diana over at Sweeney Boutique. Here are some photos! 

First up, the Blue Floral Lightweight Infinity Circular Scarf. I knew that when I saw this in her shop, that it would immediately become one of my favorite scarves! Like the name says, it is super lightweight and comfy! The colors are so versatile,  I've been throwing it over every outfit. 

In the photo below, I have paired it with a white tank top, but you can surely pair them with any of  the other colors from the scarf. Here are more shots.




Next, the Pink Floral Lightweight Chiffon Infinity Circle Loop Scarf. Another great piece from Diana! She describes it as being a raspberry scarf and I couldn't agree more. It also consists of mustard, white, grey and black floral patterns. In the image below, I have also paired it with the same white tank top and threw on a teal cardigan; I love the way those two colors coincide! 



And just for fun, to achieve a more "chunky" appearance, I wrapped both scarves around and was surprisingly pleased with the outcome! 


Even the packaging was beautiful!

MY 20 SOMETHING BIRTHDAY!! ;) + Review: Fashion Kiss Clothing

Good morning, everyone!

As some of you may know, my Birthday is today! Geez, I'm getting old! ;) LOL. 

Anyway, I'll be out for the remainder of the day, but I wanted to leave you all with great review on some great spring/summer pieces from Fashion Kiss. Talk to you all soon! xx

Here's what I received!



Name: Blue/White Floral Striped Lace Back Tank
Size: Small 


Please excuse the bra strap! ;) 

Name: Black/Red/Fuchsia Floral Mini Dress 
Size: Small








Brown Messenger Bag








Free Gifts w/ any order (see misc section below)










Description & Quality
Quality was very good on both articles of clothing. The dress material was a little light, but is perfect for the upcoming change of weather. The tank top was also very light weight and flowy. The bag is faux leather, but seems very durable.

The bag offers tons of pockets and is very spacious! If you're anything like me, your entire house/room is in your bag! ;)

The dress is of finger tip length, which I know is very important and enforced in some schools. :)

Outfit Ideas
Tank Top:
This is something that I would wear if I were going for a more casual, everyday look. In the above photo, I paired it with some mustard skinny jeans, and some navy sandals. I would also wear this with a pair of denim shorts and some flats or flip flops. Throw on the messenger back and you're good to go!

Tip: Since this tank has a racer back, you may want to wear a strapless to avoid it from showing!

Dress:
This dress can either be worn casual or dressy. In the above image, I kept it sweet and simple with some peep toe wedges. You can also throw on a black blazer or denim jacket to help compliment the look. If you prefer wearing the denim jacket, I would also go with the messenger bag. 

Don't forget to accessorize! 

Affordability & Availability 
Tank Top: $14.99
Dress: $17.99
Bag: Currently on sale for $12.99!

Review: Intoxicating Vixen Online Clothing Boutique

Good morning, lovelies!

I know I've been MIA again, but I'm back with a review on probably thee cutest blazer in my collection.

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the lovely, Shimika from Intoxicating Vixen, an online clothing boutique for a collaboration on a review. Here's what I received!

(Please excuse my mirror! It's a huge pet peeve of mine when photos are taken in front of messy looking mirrors -_-) 

Name: Iconic Blazer 
Size: Small
Yes, that is in fact my natural hair!





Ruffle close up



Qualtiy & Outfit Ideas
Great quality and fits perfectly!

I love how you can  either dress it up or wear it as a causal outfit. For this post, I went with a more casual look and paired it with a simple plain white tunic, some jeans, and thigh high camel colored boots. 

You can also dress this up with any matching dress or skirt. Click here to see what Shimika has paired with this blazer! This is also a great piece for color blocking.

Don't forget to accessorize! 

Uniqueness
The color, oh the color! When I first saw this blazer on her boutique I fell in L-O-V-E! It's a gorgeous mustard with complimenting gold buttons. The 6 buttons do not close together and is meant to be worn openly, which is how I would wear it anyway, so it really didn't bother me! 

It's both edgy and classic. Edgy from the military inspired style and classic from the beautiful ruffles on the shoulders.

I've never seen a blazer in this form and I am glad to add it to my collection of blazers. 

Affordability & Availability 
This is currently on SALE for $30.00! Click here to see the available sizes! 

Again, you can purchase this blazer along with other great pieces at http://www.intoxicatingvixen.com

Accuracy of Website Description  
Everything was spot on and came as described on the website underneath its description.

Shipping Time
Super fast! Intoxicating Vixen is located in Boston, MA so the blazer came within 2-3 business days. I live in the Bay Area, which is Northern California. 

Customer Service
Shimika was very friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional; the way any and every company should be!

 I asked for a Large and she recommended a small based on my blog photo and I am so glad I went with her recommendation! Large would have been, well, Large! ;) Thank you, again! xx

For any questions, you can e-mail her at IntoxicatingVixen@gmail.com


Hmmm, honestly, nothing but good vibes here! :)

As always, hope this helps & happy shopping!
