Stitch Fix Review

Stitch Fix Review February 2018……what I kept, what I returned and what you should request (plus a giveaway)!

Stitch Fix Review February 2018: See what Los Angeles Lifestyle Blogger Lipgloss & Crayons loved, liked and returned in her Stitch Fix delivery!

Ok.  A lot of you have been asking what happened to my Stitch Fix Review series.   Honestly? I took a break.  I wanted to try a few other styling programs….so that I could compare.  And the verdict? I love different ones for different REASONS.  Stitch Fix is a GREAT way to access brands that I don't necessarily see in brick and mortar retail stores.  I love that they have some new ways to communicate with my stylist (they even have a cool Facebook Messenger program where you can take quizzes everyday to communicate style preferences….it's totally addictive)!  I'm actually going to be working on a big blog post where I break down all of the personal styling at home programs I've tried, and what I love about each one.

Thank goodness for programs like STITCH FIX.  It's a great way to treat myself once a month to a few new clothing pieces without dragging Lydia to the mall (cause who wants to do THAT).

This month as I hopped back into my Stitch Fix schedule I asked for some specific items. I wanted great, casual daywear pieces that I could wear on the weekends or to teach.

In case you aren’t already a STITCH FIX NUT…….a bit about the service: STITCH FIX is a personalized styling service that sends five pieces to your doorstep.  The great thing? When you join, you fill out an extensive styling profile.  You can request certain items or even ask for options for a specific event.  You choose how often you get a fix (for me it’s once a month).  In the comfort of your own home, you try on all items.  Then you keep what you love, and send back the rest…..and all with free shipping!  There is a $20 styling fee, but you can use that $20 as a credit towards any of the items you keep.  And YES, you can set a price range you feel comfortable with. 

Stitch Fix Review February 2018

I wanted to give you guys a sneak peak into what came in my box.  And for next month? I may be doing a try on video too, so let me know in the comments if that's something you'd like to see!

Stitch Fix Review February 2018: I love this outfit from stitch fix, that Kensie Karrington Marled Bell Sleeve Pullover sweater and those Just Black Lara Distressed Skinny Jeans? GREAT for the end of winter!Just Black Lara Distressed Skinny Jean (size 10, $88, returned):  These jeans didn't fit PERFECTLY.  The legs were a great fit, but they felt too snug in the hips.  While I was hoping they'd fit like a dream, they just weren't a home run for  me.

Kensie Karrington Marled Bell Sleeve Pullover (size medium, $68, kept): I LOVE this sweater.  It's soft and cozy, and fits really well.  Plus, I feel like it can easily be dressed up with black jeggings and heels.Stitch Fix Review February 2018: I love this outfit from stitch fix, that Kaileigh Daria Skirt is a perfect staple piece!Kaileigh Daria Skirt (size medium, $38, returned):  I loved this skirt in theory, but not in real life.  The fabric was a little too thin, so it looked unflattering on my body.Stitch Fix Review February 2018: I love this casual outfit from stitch fix, that Olive & Oak Foray Hooded Knit Top is a great layering piece and those SeaVees Monterey Canvas Lace Up Sneakers are perfect for weekend wear!Olive & Oak Foray Hooded Knit Top (size medium, $54, returned):  I loved this hoodie except for one thing.  It's a VERY thin knit fabric, and would require a tank top under it.  Something about clothes that need layers like that just drives me nuts!

SeaVees Monterey Canvas Lace Up Sneakers (size 9.5, $68, returned):  LOVE LOVE LOVE these, but I own sneakers in a similar color.  I actually just ordered them in a different shade! If you're looking for a great basic sneaker, these will totally fit the bill!

 

If you'd like to try Stitch Fix out, then you're in luck! I'm teaming up with a few friends to share our Stitch Fix Reviews and to give one of you a pretty awesome prize.

    I am really new to your Stitch Fix series. It sounds interesting. BTW, you are looking so sweet in that Kaileigh Daria Skirt.

Five years ago. This exact place. Robbie had jus Five years ago.  This exact place.  Robbie had just finished two years of grad school.  And it had been a long, tough two years.  That year involved one major teacher strike in my district, many many many jobs and gigs for both of us, minimal time off together, a whole lot of unknowns and a whole lot of stress.The Disney and Aulani team probably had no idea that they were giving us the gift of much needed peaceful time together when they invited us on a trip to this magical place.  A trip that….to be honest, was beyond our means at the time.  We cherished every moment. A lot has happened since then.  A move, buying a house, seeing those years of hard work pay off.  And now….we did it.  We’re back.  Lazy river here we come. TLDR? If you’re in the thick of it, I see you.  We’ve been there. Family, Welcome Home……we did it.  Aulani for the week.
Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the b In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the bridge without permission.⠀⠀I grew up about 20 minutes from San Francisco, on the OTHER side of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Yes, you know that opening scene in Full House where they’re driving across the bridge? I was on the other side of that.  And one of MOST parents’ rules where I grew up? No going into the city without permission.  Sorry mom and dad, it’s been long enough…..now I can disclose that we broke that rule constantly.⠀⠀San Francisco is my favorite city.  It’s intimate and moody and filled with history and some of the best food in the world.  It reminds me of childhood trips to the zoo and Golden Gate Park, it reminds me of my first apartment after college and my first serious relationship.  It reminds me of 22 year old carefree nights with friends and milkshakes at Mels in high school and coffee in North Beach and nights in the Marin Headlands (the closest we were supposed to get to the bridge).⠀⠀So when I had the opportunity to spend 20 hours in my city by the Bay? I took it.⠀⠀Photo Diary:⠀1) nothing like a hotel room to yourself ⠀2) basically drove through a monsoon in San Diego yesterday to make it to the airport⠀3) through the fog? You can see the Golden Gate Bridge⠀4) SFO ⠀5) drove right through North Beach where my mom lived until she was 2, and texted her this photo of a church where she remembers going to weddings as a child⠀6) dinner with Dove, talking about the importance of diversity and representation in gaming avatars ⠀7 and 8) anyone else got a roblox fan in their house? Dove is changing the game (pun intended) and we love to see it.⠀⠀Have you been to San Francisco?
Are you a road trip or a fly in the sky vacationer Are you a road trip or a fly in the sky vacationer? What’s your ideal?⠀Figured this was a good day to ask since….I’m boarding a plane this morning for a VERY quick trip.⠀❤️Over on stories, we are playing this or that. We’re making this a regular little weekly coffee chat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀☕️So, five of you will get a coffee on me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Want to join in?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀1) like this post⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀2) answer the polls in stories⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀3) tag a friend in comments, or tell me what your ideal vacation looks like, and how you’d get there!
