Trunk Club Review January

Trunk Club Review January 2018: What I Kept, What I Returned and tips for a great trunk!

Trunk Club Review January 2018: What I Kept, What I Returned and tips for a great trunk! Isn't this sweatshirt ADORABLE?

I know, I know……it’s been WAY too long since I’ve done a real Trunk Club Review.  While I’ve been sharing the pieces I get on Instagram Stories…..I haven’t done ACTUAL blog posts.  And those stories disappear, right? So, Trunk Club Review blog posts are BACK.  And I’m adding in something fun……..videos.  Each month I’ll share a full video review over on our new Youtube channel.  Cause, you guys want to see what the clothes look like in REAL LIFE, right? RIGHT.

Trunk Club Review January 2018: What I Kept, What I Returned and tips for a great trunk!

A few details about Trunk Club:

 TRUNK CLUB is an amazing service that is owned by Nordstrom.  For a small fee ($25 a Trunk or FREE if you have a Nordstrom card)…..you are connected with a personal stylist that you build a relationship with.  You set the frequency for your Trunks (I do once a month).  I love that the pieces that my stylist sends for me to try are brands I know and love.  And my other favorite thing? My relationship with my stylist.  This is the ONLY service I’ve tried where I get to have conversations with her.  We chat (using the messaging service on Trunk Club’s website) and I can even preview my Trunk before she sends it.  I have the ability to ask for other color options, say I don’t like something or mention if I already own it.  So if you’re trying to avoid the mall? Then this is for YOU!

My Trunk Club Picks

SHOP MY TRUNK:

Vince Camuto Chevron Intarsia Sweater (size small, $99, returned): I was VERY on the fence about this sweater.  I love the sleeves, and it fits really well……but I felt like it was a little pricy and I own something that is VERY similar.

Vince Camuto Ruched Jersey Midi Dress (size medium, $99, returned): I LOVE THIS DRESS! It fits like a dream, and is SUPER flattering.  I would have kept it, but I own something VERY similar.  If you’re looking for a great black dress that is versatile…..BUY this!

Caslon Flare Sleeve Utility Jacket (size medium, $79, returned): If you are on the search for a basic light jacket…..this is a must buy.  The sleeves are ADORABLE and add a feminine touch to a basic utility jacket.  If I didn’t own two other olive green jackets, I would have kept it for SURE.

Caslon Cowl Neck Pullover (size medium, $59, returned):  I seriously considered keeping this pullover.  It’s super comfortable and cozy.  I just felt like in our Southern California climate…..I wouldn’t use it THAT much.

Chelsea28 Jaquard Midi Wrap Dress (size medium, $99, returned):  This was a GIANT no for me.  The butterfly print? Not my style. 

Caslon Lace-Up Neck Floral Embroidered Sweatshirt (size medium, $59, returned): I’m still sort of mad I didn’t keep this sweatshirt.  It’s REALLY cute on, I just felt like I have a ton of stylish sweatshirts….and I was trying to be conservative.  ARG, now I want it.

Eliza J Crepe Sheath Dress (size 10, $128, returned): Not gonna lie, this was a total disappointment.  I saw it online and was REALLY excited.  I imagined it being VERY flattering, and it was anything but.

Knot Sisters Last Call Midi Dress (size medium, $150, returned): I have a thing about dresses with layers.  I feel like they bunch up and add bulk.  So this one? Not for me.

Felicity & Coco Rocco Jumpsuit (size large, $98, returned): Now, I love a good jumpsuit…..but I also own four.  So this was a send back.

Adelyn Rae Kerry Maxi Dress (size medium, $110, returned):  Something about the flimsy fabric of this dress just wasn’t for me.  It looked sort of baggy and unflattering.

Caslon Gathered Waist Front Zip Jacket (size medium, $79 PICTURED): LOVE LOVE LOVE! This is the best semi-fancy sweatshirt I’ve bought in awhile.  I’ve been wearing it as a light jacket at work all week.  It feels like a sweatshirt and wears like a jacket.  I’m OBSESSED (and obviously kept it).

Maggy London Lace Detail Crepe Sheath Dress (size 10, $148, kept):  I’ve been on the search for great little black dresses that flatter a pear shape body.  And this one? Totally fits the bill.  I love it!

    How awesome! I love the personal interaction you get with the stylist. I wonder if this is available for international mailing? I adore the Calson utility jacket. Really cute! You make everything looks great though.

📣What conversations with your kids are you gear 📣What conversations with your kids are you gearing up to have? 📣⠀
📣Let’s be honest......there are conversation topics that as parents we all know we need to bring up. From body changes to the birds and the bees to underage drinking.....as our kids get older, we’ve got a lot to tackle. And I get it, unless you happen to be a 15 years in the classroom teacher like me....this probably isn’t something you have experience with (plus, trust me....it’s a whole other ball game with your OWN kids). ⠀
⠀
📣I’m excited to team up with my friends at Responsibility.org to talk to YOU about having those talks with your family. This month is Alcohol Responsibility Month, and it’s the PERFECT time to start an ongoing dialog around underage drinking.⠀
⠀
📣 A few tips for having those ongoing conversations with your kids:⠀
⠀
📢Be human. It’s ok to not know all the answers. Your job? To lead with love and openness, and to use resources and experts to find the answers.⠀
⠀
📢Know that these are ongoing conversations. Hard topics aren’t a one and done type of dialog. As your children grow up, and have new experiences, you’ll have more conversations.⠀
⠀
📢Facts and Data are more effective than scare tactics. For discussions about Underage Drinking, I love Ask, Listen, Learn as a resource for parents and teachers. It addresses brain development, and has some REALLY cool videos and interactive tools for kids in grades 4-7.⠀
⠀
📣I’m sharing more tips and resources over on the blog today.

🌴These happy faces? Are because we spent the day lounging by the pool instead of hiding from loud machines.  If you follow along on our stories, you know that we came home from a trip to Bass Lake and Yosemite LAST week to…..WATER EVERYWHERE.  It’s all still being sorted out, but…..in the meantime there are some very big and loud machines starting the process of removing the water from our floors / cabinets and downstairs area. ⠀
⠀
🌴So when we had the chance to do a little staycation at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach after our Touch of Disney day…….CLEARLY it was a YES.  This was my first time to this property, and it won’t be the last.  Three pools, super close to a ton of fun activities (18 miles from Disneyland, and an 8 minute drive from the Lido Marina Village), plus they’ve got a GREAT dinner option and a coffee shop in the morning.  This was JUST what we needed,  now I’m just busy plotting ways to stay longer.⠀
⠀
🌴Have you done an emergency home renovation? Did you stay? Because, I’m about to vote for us just taking up residence at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach until all work is done.  You support this choice, right? ⠀

🌲I’m a check my email a million times type of person. I can admit it. I get worried when I think my cell phone doesn’t have enough power. And today? We spent the majority of the time hiking all over Yosemite National Park with zero wifi.⠀

🏔Peace. Fun. The Majesty of the Mountains. I feel recharged, and can’t remember the last time I didn’t worry if my phone was.⠀
