Stitch Fix Review October 2016

Stitch Fix Review October 2016: What I loved, what I'm keeping, and what you should request (plus a giveaway)!

Stitch Fix Review October 2016 by Lipgloss and CrayonsIt's Stitch Fix Review time again!  Big decision at the end of this review.  Lately I've had mixed feelings about my Stitch Fix deliveries…….so I'm going to be switching things up a bit.  For this fix, I requested some pretty specific items.  I asked for fall colors, a pair of burgundy shoes, patterned pants, and great layering pieces.

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 October 2016 by Lipgloss and Crayons

What did I get in my October Stitch Fix delivery?

Stitch Fix Review October 2016

RD Style Tawny Open Drape Cardigan (size small, kept): This cardigan just screamed fall layering to me.  I love it.  The colors? The thickness? It's very flattering, and goes with EVERYTHING. Kept, and I've already worn it WAY too many times.

Stitch Fix Review October 2016 by Lipgloss and CrayonsMarket & Spruce Telane Faux Leather Detail Knit Top (size medium, returned): Ok, here's the thing.  The fit of this top? AWESOME.  But my stylist seemed to forget one major request….I wanted clothes for work.  This sheer portion of the top? Clearly not work appropriate and I hate layering camisoles under tops.  While I loved the cut of this, it just wasn't something I felt like I could wear very often.Stitch Fix Review October 2016 by Lipgloss and CrayonsPapermoon Ibiza Crochet Detail Top (size medium, returned): I wanted to love this top.  In theory, a washable blouse is perfect for my life.  However…..see the wrinkles? I steamed it right before I took these pictures.  This fabric wrinkles SO easily.  Plus, it hit at a funny length.  When I saw this on the hanger, I loved it.  In real life? Not so much.Stitch Fix Review October 2016 by Lipgloss and CrayonsLucky Brand Aviee Lace Up Flat (size 9 1/2, returned): So these flats were NOT the color I requested.  They were comfortable…..and I considered keeping them, but the loose lacing? Drove me crazy.  Flats are always a win in my book….but these just weren't quite right.

My last item? The Margaret M Sylvie Printed Straight Leg Pant.  I wish I could show them to you guys….but they didn't fit.  As in, I literally couldn't get them over my hips.

So, here's the deal.  Lately, I've been feeling as if my stylist and I aren't seeing eye to eye.  I've requested things, and receive stuff that I don't love.  So, I'll be trying out a NEW stylist next month.  Remember when I suggested trying a new stylist if you weren't loving your fixes? Yup, I'm doing it myself and I can't WAIT to see what I get next month!

    What a great box, some of the items didn’t work out but I’m glad you kept the draped cardigan as it looked so good on you.

    The first sweater is absolutely amazing! That’s such a good option! Those lace up flats do look a bit odd because of the loose laces. Hope your next stylist works out for you!

    I LOVE the cardigan you kept! What a fun piece–that’s what I love about Stitch Fix, there are things I’ve gotten from them that I never see anywhere else. Bummer that the other things didn’t work out–I think it’s smart to try out a new stylist!

    It’s a shame that there wasn’t a match for some of the items you requested, but that cardigan is absolutely gorgeous! Total win with that one.

    I’ve heard a lot about Stitch Fix on the radio, and have been curious, but haven’t bitten the bullet yet.

    I am going to echo what everyone else is saying about that awesome cardigan, that’s a great find. I also LOVE the pop of color that your earrings gave to the outfit. Good luck with your new stylist.

    Just came across your post on Pinterest. I have two pairs of the Lucky Brand shoes and wear them weekly. All of the elastic goes in front- none in back, so they should actually pull snuggly. I even bought a pair for my mom. They may be worth a second try!

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character?

✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
