Wow, I just realized that it has been over a year since I started Stitch Fix! What a great ride it’s been. Can’t wait to see what continues to come my way.
Here’s What Was in Stitch Fix Box Number Twelve:
41Hawthorn – Berneen Printed Dolman Sleeve Top
Pixley – Edmond Chevron Print Henley Shirt
Kensie – Marco Short Sleeve Color Block Dress
Zad – Jasmine Textured Layered Crescent Necklace
41Hawthorn – Selfridge Cowl Neck Long Sleeve Top
By now you've come to know my love of Stitch Fix boxes. What you don't know is how often I buy things online. Working from home (both with my old job, and with my current) allows me to be home for all of the shipments (and darn signatures that UPS enforces). Not sure if it is laziness or convenience, but I truly enjoy trying items on in the comfort of my own home, especially shoes! I often buy 2 sizes from Zappos so I can try them on as I stand at my desk during the day to determine comfort. I'm also curious about all of ...
While Rise Against isn't a Colorado band, they do have many ties to this great state. Did you know that many of their last albums were recorded right here in Fort Collins, Colorado in the Blasting Room? Well, they were. A few years ago I had the pleasure of going to a 'secret' show of theirs where they played in local clothing store, Kansas City Kitty. The store moved all of their merchandise to the sides, or put away in the back and a line started outside the store before they even closed at 5. I remember it was a pretty cold night, so my parents ...
My last live video chat was with Huffington Post about No 'Poo, and was a little more stressful than my chat yesterday with Juan, but I think I'm getting the hang of it! Juan, SomeAudioGuy and SomeGadgetGuy online, and I met at the magical FireFly Music Festival a few weeks ago and hit it off immediately! Mainly because we tweeted pre-festival about bringing ear plugs. Easy to get along with someone else who wants to protect their ears! We were going to do a video interview at FireFly, but ran out of time as we were running around trying to see all of the bands. So instead we ...
It’s been a busy March (and now it is April!!!), and whoever said “In like a Lion, out like a Lamb” was mistaken! My month just got busier and busier. I’ll be posting many more blog posts about my adventures throughout March, but first, let’s find out what’s in my Stitch Fix box!
So here is what I got:
Yumi Jodie Chambray Dot Print Fit and Flare Dress
Tart Brigitte Striped Raglan Thermal Top
Under Skies Abbie Pintuck Button-Back Blouse
Toss Vita Boat Neck Stripe Knit Shirt
Fate Garvey Tribal Print Open Front Cardigan
When I logged into LinkedIn this morning, I was surprised to be introduced to and walked through a new feature - LinkedIn Contacts! If you don't get the prompts, or have already hit 'skip' on them, here's what it looks like. When viewing a profile you now have '*Relationship' and 'Contact Info' tabs below the profile image: (P.S. Yes, Jonathon and I didn't even connect on LinkedIn until we were married.) Personally I love being able to see the exact date I became linked with someone. Think about it - how often have you thought to yourself "Where did I meet this person? What conference? What year?" etc. Now ...
I received this last Stitch Fix box on Christmas Even while Jonathon and I were back visiting his mom, so it took me a little while to unbox my fix, try everything on, and decide on what I wanted. Being that it was over the holidays meant that it also took even longer for me to get it up on the blog! This was the first box that after trying everything on one time, I almost kept the entire box. So here is what I got: Mystree Edson Knit Sweater Coat 41Hawthorn Mickey Jeweled Collar Peplum Top 41Hawthorn Liandra Geo Knit Infinity Scarf Renee C Byron Fold-Over Cowl Knit Shirt Fraiche by ...
Well that was a trip! I was on Huffington Post Live! I was talking about my experience going No 'Poo! You can watch the whole interview here: So, how did I get on Huffington Post? (more…)
Overall I’d say the quality of items I’m receiving in the Stitch Fix boxes is improving each time, so I’m happy and can’t wait until box number five!
So here is what I got:
THML Jagger Striped Pull-Over Sweater
Ark n Co Ivonna Double Breasted Cotton Jacket
Fate Isaias Colorblocked Long Sleeve Sweater
Bay to Baubles Ashley Polka Dot Infinity Scarf
Loveappealla Brownson Striped Hooded Open Cardigan
This weekend we were invited to an Ugly Sweater Christmas party. It's been years since I attended one, and neither Jon or I had anything to wear. I went to Target, Kmart and Walmart hoping to stumble upon a great sweater to wear, but had no such luck. Of course I found some online, but it was too late to order. Finally I saw a great idea online: a sweater skirt! While I may be crafty, I am certainly not one that can use a sewing machine, which made this particular DIY skirt that much better. A Tree Skirt! Worn as an actual skirt! Brilliant! So my ...
