Trunk Club Review July 2017: What I Kept and What I Sent Back

Trunk Club Review July 2017: What I Kept, What I Returned and a HUGE giveaway!Trunk Club Review July 2017: this eliza j maxi dress is the perfect summer casual outfit base!Sooooooooo. If you've been around here awhile, then you may have noticed a small change.  I'm in love with a new personal styling service.  For the most part, I try not to drag Lydia to the mall.  Shopping with a toddler? Not fun for anyone.  I've been trying out different personal shopping home services…..and my current favorite? Trunk Club.  

Why did I switch? Trunk Club is an amazing service that is owned by Nordstrom.  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.

Trunk Club Review July 2017: this eliza j maxi dress is the perfect summer casual outfit base! I got a TON of really great items in my trunk this month, and I actually shared a bunch of them over on instagram stories…..but wanted to share them here too.

Trunk Club Review July 2017

Eliza J Scarf Print Jersey & Crêpe de Chine Maxi Dress (size 10, $158): I loved loved loved the fit of this dress.  And the colors? So pretty right? I feel like it could easily be dressed up for a wedding or dressed down with a jean jacket and flat sandals.  And the pink bow? I just love it.  

Sam Edelman Susie d'Orsay Ankle Strap Sandal  (coral, on sale for $83): These were my absolute favorite thing from this entire trunk.  The color is amazing and they're SO comfortable. I'm actually ordering them in a couple more colors!

Nic+Zoe Summer Solstice Maxi Dress (size medium, $188): I loved loved loved the print of this dress, however the cut wasn't my favorite.  

Halogen V-Neck Shift Dress (size medium, $59): This dress was a killer price, but I didn't love the length.  I felt like it hit my knees in a funny way.

Chelsea28 Cold Shoulder Midi Dress (size medium, on sale for $59): I loved the color of this dress, and the general design….but it felt like it didn't quite fit correctly.  There was nothing WRONG with it, I just didn't love it on.

Eliza J Jersey Fit and Flare Dress (size 10, $128): I seriously debated keeping this dress.  The colors? I love them.  I love the ruffle.  It fits like a dream, but I just didn't think I'd get a ton of use out of it.  If I had a bunch of weddings to attend or showers this year? I'd have kept it.

Other items from my trunk this month?

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
