June Rocksbox Review | 2015

Would you love getting sparkly jewelry delivered to your doorstep? Yep, thought so! If you haven’t already, it’s time for you to check out Rocksbox! (Use the code chelseabff5 to get your first month free!!)

I’ve had a subscription to Rocksbox for quite a while now. Not every box I’ve gotten has been perfect for me, but I’ve had a lot of fun trying out new designers and styles that are different from what I normally gravitate toward. My June Rocksbox had some highs and lows, but overall another great box! Before I dig into the deets, here’s what Rocksbox is all about…


 How it works:

1. BECOME A SHINE INSIDER ($19/month)- Take the style survey and add items to your jewelry Wish List.

2. GET 3 PIECES TO WEAR ON LOAN- Each piece is hand-selected for you based on your style and specific requests. Wear your pieces as much as you want!

3. RETURN ANYTIME TO GET 3 NEW PIECES- Return your Rocksbox pieces anytime and as often as you like. Every set has 3 pieces of designer jewelry, worth an average of $200 per set.

SLATE Spiked Out Necklace in Silver

SLATE Spiked Out Necklace in Silver (retails at $82, member price is $65)– This spiked black necklace was by far my favorite piece this month! This necklace is unlike anything in my current jewelry collection. It has a pretty simple design, but the black color and spikes add a serious edgy look to this necklace. It takes any outfit to the next level, adding some intense bad girl vibes. I loved pairing it with girly, feminine outfits to harden up a soft sweet look.

 

Perry Street Adrianna NecklacePerry Street Adrianna Necklace (retails at $64, member price is $51)- I was a little confused by this necklace when I first saw it. Although it has a statement pendant, it’s on a long dainty chain making it awkward to style. I ended up pairing this piece with a white boyfriend tee. But I found the statement pendent to swing around a lot and looked too heavy to be on such a long chain. Overall I found this necklace to be a little awkward and only got the one use out of it.

 

Loren Hope Sophia Studs in VioletLoren Hope Sophia Studs in Violet (retails at $34, member price is $29)- I love these studs! They are super simple and dainty. The bright violet color is great for any summer day! I found myself dressing them up with a cute white summer dress or dressing them down with jeans and a blouse. Either way, these bold studs add a punch to any summer look. And coming from Loren Hope, they are great quality and earrings I know will last!

 


And that wraps it up for this month’s box! Are you like me and can’t get enough of Rocksbox? Try checking out last month’s set of jewelry, May RocksBox Review.

April Rocksbox Review | 2015

I’ve had a subscription to Rocksbox for quite a while now. Not every box I’ve gotten has been perfect for me, but I’ve had a lot of fun trying out new designers and styles that are different than what I normally gravitate toward.

April Rocksbox Perry Street Eve Necklace

Perry Street Eve Necklace (retails at $64, member price is $51)– I love this statement necklace! This pendent style is different than any statement piece I have in my collection. Most of my statement necklaces are bib silhouette and multi colored. This couldn’t be more different! I love the teal jeweled broach hanging from this bold gold chain. My only complaint is the condition of the necklace. I’ve never had an issue with this before, but the thick chain was a little banged up… you could tell this guy had been shipped out a few times!

 

April Rocksbox Gorjana Mave Shimmer Mini StudsGorjana Mave Shimmer Mini Studs (retails at $30, member price is $24)- These studs are adorable! For those of you keeping track, I love Gorjana! They make great quality jewelry that lasts and you can be proud to wear! When Gorjana says mini, they mean mini! These earrings were a little small for my taste, but I love the simple design and the versatility. I got a ton of use out of them and loved pairing them back to my other Gorjana pieces. 

 

April Rocksbox Kendra Scott Jana Bracelet in CobaltKendra Scott Jana Bracelet in Cobalt (retails at $80, member price is $64)- I finally got a Kendra Scott piece in my Rocksbox! I’ve been drooling over the Kendra Scott cuffs for months so I jumped for joy when I saw the Kendra Scott jewel bag in my box! It didn’t end up being one of the cuffs I was dying for, but a pretty cobalt bracelet instead. The bracelet is gorgeous and delicate in person which I loved! But I found it a little tricky to put on by myself so I didn’t get as much use out of it as I hoped.

Feeling Blue at the Louvre

The Louvre not only houses some of the world’s most famous art, but it’s a work of art itself! I remember sitting in French class in middle school dreaming about the day I would eat a macaron in front of the Eiffel Tower and peer into the glass pyramids of the Louvre. And let me tell you, the Louvre did NOT disappoint… and Mona Lisa says hi!

The weather was so unpredictable on these spring Parisian days so layers were key! Our days were long and consisted of waking up early for coffee and sights, walking around and exploring the city all day and ending the night with drinks and dinner. A coat was necessary for early mornings and night, but when the sun was out it got pretty warm!

This light sweater, coat and tight combination was perfect for Paris’s unpredictable state of mind. I got this bright cobalt blue statement coat right before my trip and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I don’t have a ton of need for a wool coat in San Francisco, but I definitely got my money’s worth of this one in Europe! Especially since it’s on sale for $40! Check out the rest of the outfit below and share your favorite Paris travel tips in the comments!
