What I'm Loving: Recent Buys + Birchbox



recent summer buys


Old Navy Striped Dress
Old Navy Sunset Shorts (boats on them! perfect for the cottage)
Forever21 Pleated High-Low Skirt (in navy)
Bauble Bar Spearmint Bauble Bib 
Warehouse Padlock Shopper

This dress, shorts, and skirt were the last of my summer purchases! 
There are so many cute things coming out for fall, so I have to hold back and say no, no, and more no to any summer clothes from this point on.
I sound like a true shopaholic...

I've mentioned my love for Bauble Bar before. 
Some of the best accessories right now! (along with Style Love Living, of course.)
I had been lusting after this Spearmint Bauble Bib statement necklace for SO long, and finally it came back in stock! Isn't it gorgeous?! I cannot wait to wear this necklace.
If you haven't signed up yet, sign up: here and get $10 off your first order. 
You can also earn points if you share with your friends that gives you discounts on your future orders! It's pretty awesome.

A couple months ago, I signed up for Birchbox (lots of "B" loves today) and have yet to share my thoughts on it with you! I'm sure many of you have heard of Birchbox, but if you don't, for $10.00 a month you get popular beauty samples and products (some full size) sent to your mailbox. 


It's perfect for me because I hate buying makeup that I have to end up returning because I don't like it. I love being able to sample them before buying them. If you end up loving a product, you can purchase it easily from their website.


Sign up here (if you're interested)


With that being said, this months Birchbox has been my favorite by far.
Here's what I got...

Blinc: mascara, Dirt: luxe salt scrub in lemon leaf (my FAVORITE product I've received thus far-smells absolutely amazing!), Harvey Prince: perfume, Larabar: uber bar (I actually like the regular Larabars better) and super cute neon headphones. 

Stila: In the Light eyeshadow palette
I love the mix of colors in this palette. I know I will use them often! 


Totally worth the $10 in my opinion. 
Also, you can cancel Birchbox at any time, without any fees.


Do you do Birchbox?!

Now that I've most likely spent all your money for the day, I'll be on my way.
Hey, it's Wednesday, and Wednesday's are happy days...
and happy days = shopping days! (or is this just me?)
Have fun :)

  1. Mmmm - i LOVE that new bag! Classic!

    As for Birchbox, I excitedly signed up when it first got popular and was put on a waiting list for months. When I finally received an offer to join, my excitement had worn off a little bit. Looks like this month was an awesome gift though!

  7. You know, I've seen several reviews featuring Birchbox on YouTube and for whatever reason I haven't signed up. But, $10 a month? The fact that I can justify this means I'm going to sign up for it. Also love love loving the Padlock Shopper. I die.

  12. I love your BirchBox! I've been using Blinc mascara for years! It's such a cool concept and it literally NEVER smudges under your eyes which is a problem I have on the regs. Loved the headphones too! I need that handbag stat. I just got my first order from ASOS and I'm in love :)

  17. AshVal- You will love Birchbox...I just recently signed up and wish I got a new box every week.

    Katie- You might think I'm crazy, but I also joined BarkBox.com who sends really fun cute things for your dog each month. Crazy, I know! But I love getting things in the mail.

  19. I definitely just drove to Old Navy after reading this and bought those shorts (and two button downs). Thanks! They were on sale too! :)

  20. Way jealous of your banana's foster bar... I got some nut nonsense that made the 11 year old in me giggle inappropriately.

    I also need to go to Old Navy now.

  21. As you probably know, I did Birchbox for about 6 months. I definitely loved it, but the excitement wore off and I started to get a lot of the same things, so I canceled it. Cameron was also piping in about wasting $10 every month on "junk"....men...
