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.

Check out my June Rocksbox:

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 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 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.

May 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. But May’s Rocksbox was different. I was seriously in love with every single piece! They each were so versatile yet packed so much personality! 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.

Check out my May Rocksbox:

Perry Street Isla Necklace (retails at $64, member price is $51)– When I opened this month’s box I was in awe by this hot pink necklace. It has a simple design, but the color makes it bold and fun. It adds a ton of personality to any outfit and can hold its own with the ultra girly looks in your closet or even glam up your casual jeans and white tee. It’s the perfect mix between a statement necklace and dainty look, you definitely get your bang for your buck with this guy!

Loren Hope Palmer Necklace in Seafoam (retails at $118, member price is $94)- Although this necklace didn’t “wow” me initially, I found myself gravitating to it every morning. You wouldn’t think this mint hue would go with much in your closet, but somehow it complimented nearly everything I wore. I especially loved the longer length of the chain, making it easy to layer with different necklaces and necklines. It was by far my favorite piece this month!

Perry Street Elise Earrings (retails at $38, member price is $30)- I love these studs! The size of them is perfect. They are big enough to make a bold statement, but light enough that I don’t even notice the weight of them after a long day. The antique gold and rhinestone look makes these earrings so versatile. I ended up wearing them with gold, silver and even by themselves and got a ton of mileage out of them. They become my go-to studs for weeks!

I mean how amazing was that box? Are you like me and can’t get enough of Rocksbox? Try checking out last month’s set of jewelry, April RocksBox Review.

Sparkle in Plaid

Today is all about dolling up the rugged plaid trend. Just because a lumberjack wears plaid to chop down a tree doesn’t mean we can’t sparkle in it! I see a lot of girls sporting the plaid trend, but it’s almost always paired back to sneakers and a ponytail. Don’t get me wrong, that’s an adorable casual look, but there’s no reason you can’t dress up that same plaid shirt!

I got this great plaid flannel from Old Navy and absolutely love the versatility! To go for a more glam look, I opted for metallic accessories, my current Rocksbox jewelry and a bright pink lip! Take a closer look at my accessories below and share how you dress up your plaid in the comments!

January Rocksbox Review | 2015

Once again, I have been dying to share my latest Rocksbox with you! This month’s box had three beautiful items in it that I got a TON of use out of. I’ve been wearing at least one of the three pieces everyday! Another win for Rocksbox, want one month free? Skip to the bottom for the promo code!

How it works- It’s a monthly subscription costing $19.99/month. First you create a style profile, which basically consists of a quick survey of what jewelry types, metals, etc. you prefer and a gallery of pictures where you can pick your favorite items. From that profile, three styles are picked just for you and delivered in cute little boxes wrapped up with a ribbon. Now for the fun part, you can wear the jewelry as much as you want and just as easily send them back whenever you want! There’s no timeline, you can get as many or as little boxes as you want a month. As soon as you’re ready to send them back, you drop them in the mail and three more will be sent your way, almost immediately! Fall in love with one (or all) of the items? No prob, keep it! You get 20% off the retail price of any piece in your box to add to your personal collection.

Below is this month’s collection:

Perry Street Selina Crystal Necklace (retails at $56, member price is $44)– This necklace is amazing! There’s a few things I love about this necklace. 1- It’s actually pretty light for a statement necklace. I know that seems silly, but a heavy necklace tends to rub my neck raw by the end of the day. 2- It’s neutral so it goes with everything, but still has an amazing bling factor! And for only $44, you are guaranteed to get your money’s worth!

Jules Smith Open Double Pearl Ring (retails at $50, member price is $40)– This delicate ring has been a conversation piece. It’s so simple, but every time I wear it at least one person comes up to me asking where I bought it… that’s saying a lot for such a tiny ring! The pearl trend is huge right now and this is such a modern take on it. I don’t know if I’ll be able to part with this one!

Vanessa Mooney The Starlight Cuff in Silver (retails at $120, member price is $96)– This starlight cuff has the best of both worlds, gold and silver! I love the flexibility it gives me with the mixed metals, I found myself wearing it much more than I thought I would. The arrows are a fun twist and the cuff is actually a good size so it serves as a statement cuff.

December Rocksbox Review | 2014

I’m so excited to share my latest Rocksbox with you! This month’s box was not only filled with the usual three beautiful jewelry pieces, but one extra! A super cute gold script necklace that says shine and it’s mine to keep! What a nice gift from Rocksbox, right?

How it works- It’s a monthly subscription costing $19.99/month. First you create a style profile, which basically consists of a quick survey of what jewelry types, metals, etc. you prefer and a gallery of pictures where you can pick your favorite items. From that profile, three styles are picked just for you and delivered in cute little boxes wrapped up with a ribbon. Now for the fun part, you can wear the jewelry as much as you want and just as easily send them back whenever you want! There’s no timeline, you can get as many or as little boxes as you want a month. As soon as you’re ready to send them back, you drop them in the mail and three more will be sent your way, almost immediately! Fall in love with one (or all) of the items? No prob, keep it! You get 20% off the retail price of any piece in your box to add to your personal collection.

Below is this month’s collection:

Slate Barred Cuff (retails at $38, member price is $30)– I love this cuff! It’s simple, but edgy! Most of my bracelets are gold these days, so it was nice to get this silver cuff to mix it up and make a statement. For a casual look, it’s great to layer over a long sleeve top or with just a t-shirt and jeans. I know it will be easy to get my money’s worth out of this rental!

Gorjana Fancy Horn Long Necklace (retails at $68, member price is $54)– This is now the third Gorjana piece I’ve received in my Rocksbox, and they do not disappoint. This necklace is stunning! Similar to last month’s delicate necklace, it’s an amazing layering piece and is super versatile. You can’t really see the chain in the picture, but it’s a long necklace, measuring in at 27 inches long! I think it’s amazing and will definitely be layering it with my free “shine necklace” from Rocksbox!

Loren Hope Ursa Earrings (retails at $78, member price is $62)– Wow, these are some statement earrings! Now I love a good pair of statement earrings, but for a normal workday I tend to lean towards statement necklaces. They usually come off a bit more casual and are just more comfortable for all day wear. These earrings are really fun, but I don’t see myself getting a ton of use out of them. That’s why Rocksbox is amazing, I can get a few fabulous wears out of them, send them back and start wearing my new fabulous pieces!

Mint Tweed

This past week, I decided to go for a more polished look with this mint green tweed jacket. I kept it easy by pairing it back with simple timeless pieces like a black tee and my selvedge Levi’s. My favorite part of the outfit is the Naya Tahlia Metallic Oxfords. I got a great deal on these from Hautelook! They are definite statement shoes and are actually super comfortable! Although I was going for a menswear inspired look, I wanted to spice it up with all these metallic accessories to give a fresh, feminine look.

Mint Tweed Jacket- Similar moddeals ($10) / Gap Black Scoop Tee (On sale for $12) / Levi’s Selvedge Boyfriend Skinnies ($62) / Naya Tahlia Metallic Oxfords ($119) / Candies Quilted Handbag ($15) / Simply Vera Vera Wang Multi- Strand Necklace ($25) / Yoox Silver Glitter Belt (On Sale for $59)

September RocksBox Review

The mailman came and I have a new RocksBox to share with all of you!

How it works- It’s a monthly subscription costing $19.99/month. First you create a style profile, which basically consists of a quick survey of what jewelry types, metals, etc. you prefer and a gallery of pictures where you can pick your favorite items. From that profile, three styles are picked just for you and delivered in cute little boxes wrapped up with a ribbon. Now for the fun part, you can wear the jewelry as much as you want and just as easily send them back whenever you want! There’s no timeline, you can get as many or as little boxes as you want a month. As soon as you’re ready to send them back, you drop them in the mail and three more will be sent your way. Fall in love with one of the items? No prob, keep it! You get 20% off the retail price of any piece in your box to add to your permanent collection. Below is my stash from this month’s box.

Gorjana Mika Gold Pendant Necklace (retails at $85, member price is $68)– This necklace is both beautiful and edgy. When I received this box, I didn’t know much about Gorjana jewelry, but I could immediately tell this necklace was great quality. I love the simplicity of the shape paired with the sharpness of the triangle. It’s not like any other pendant in my collection, I already know I will get a ton of use out of it!

House of Harlow 1960 Sunburst Bangle in Black and White (retails at $68, member price is $54)– This is the second House of Harlow piece I’ve received in my RocksBox. And again, just like the last one, I LOVE the look of it, but I’m not crazy about wearing it. After it’s first wear, I noticed my last House of Harlow necklace ended up pinching my neck and this bangle is uncomfortable also. It’s not only HUGE, but also heavy. I prefer to stack my bangles and for them to run a little smaller so they don’t slide up and down my arm all day. This bangle was so large, it couldn’t be worn with any other bangles, but besides the size, I would definitely purchase it..

Wanderlust + Co X Double Crystal Silver Ring (retails at $29, member price is $23)– This ring is a ton of fun and is different from any other ring I own! Instead of the simple circle shape, it’s actually a large “X” that takes up the area of my finger, all the way to my knuckle! It’s a ring worn to make a statement. The unusual “X” shape gives it a little bit of edge, but the rhinestones and silver color keep it dainty. For only $23, it’s a steal I don’t know if I can pass up!
