How to Wear the Velvet Trend This Holiday Season

December 13, 2016

The textures of fall and winter fashion are my favorite. From snuggly Sherpa to fuzzy faux fur, the comfort factor of these fun textured pieces makes them a wardrobe staple. But what about some of the other textures that are gaining popularity? From suede to velvet to chunky knits, the options are endless. My personal favorite as of late is velvet, and today I’ll be sharing how to wear velvet this holiday season.

Gifts for Fashion Lovers // Giveaway!

December 9, 2016

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s currently snowing outside in Seattle (say what!) and I’m feeling the holiday vibes. Maybe it’s all the hot chocolate I’ve been drinking, or maybe it’s just feeling like I’m living in a winter wonderland. Either way, I couldn’t think of a better day to share my first gift guide featuring gifts for fashion lovers!

This year, I opted to focus on my favorite things in life (fashion, pets, beauty, and of course a general guide for those last minute shoppers like me!) and bring you a chance to win one big ticket prize from each one. I won’t tell you what’s coming next because that would totally ruin the surprise, but trust me, it’s going to be good!

How to Wear Sneakers with Dresses + Seattle Gilt Sample Sale

December 1, 2016

One of my favorite things about blogging has been connecting with local small businesses. As someone who now runs their own small business (this blog), I can only imagine the effort and hard work that it takes to do it full time and hustle to get your product out there.

That’s why I was so excited to help Laura Britt Shoes out this year and participate in their commercial. They wanted everyday women to represent their sneaker brand, which I loved, and they selected several bloggers in the Seattle area to represent their brand. Laura Britt Shoes was founded by Helen Little several years after an earth shattering health scare in 2004. She knew she had to make a change, and decided to pursue writing and her own small business. She created comfy sneakers named after her daughter (who I coincidentally went to high school with!) in fun patterns and prints. A percentage of all proceeds goes to benefit Young Life and other charities near and dear to the Little Family.

Stitch Fix December 2016 | Stitch Fix Reviews

November 30, 2016

You guys, it’s almost December! How is that even possible?! November flew by and based on how quickly my calendar is filling up, I foresee that December will be gone before we know it too. Personally, I’m just trying to hold onto my sanity until Christmas Eve, because I always take off the last week of the year from work. (Insert confetti pop emoji here. Actually, make that several!)

Last weekend my most recent Stitch Fix arrived, and I can’t wait to share what I received with you. A new month always brings a new package on my doorstep, and my new stylist Bianca did not disappoint again! I asked her for holiday party-ready styles, and she most definitely delivered.

Stitch Fix December 2016 Review

If you’re new to Stitch Fix, I’ll break it down real quick. For a $20 styling fee, receive a box on your doorstep containing five items – anything from clothing to jewelry to handbags to shoes based on your style profile and Pinterest style board. Send back what you don’t like, keep what you do, and your $20 styling fee will be deducted from the total. Keep all five items and receive an additional 25% off.

If you sign up with my link, you’ll receive $25 off your first Fix!

Stitch Fix also is now serving male clients too! Have a significant other or male relative in need of some shopping assistance? Send them over to Stitch Fix Men! It works the same way, and it’s perfect for the holidays because if we are being honest, most men hate shopping!

And for all of your gift-giving needs, don’t forget that Stitch Fix offers gift cards. From $20 to $1,000, there’s an amount that’s appropriate for anyone on your list. I know I sure wouldn’t mind seeing a Stitch Fix Gift Card in my stocking this year. ;)

So without further ado, here’s what came in my Fix this month!

The 5 Things That Should Be On Your Holiday Gift List

November 22, 2016

I may be a little late to the game, but I’m just now beginning to put together my holiday gift list. I try to make a rule that I’m not allowed to start holiday shopping (even planning!) until the week of Thanksgiving, and typically don’t make my first actual holiday purchase until after Thanksgiving is over. Weird? Maybe, but I try to stick to one holiday at a time if I can.

Shopbop Sale: Holiday Gift List // Hello Rigby Seattle Fashion BlogDisclosure: This post contains affiliate links and some items that were provided c/o of the brand. I also maintain a partnership with Shopbop to share their sales a few times per year in exchange for credit. All thoughts are my own.

What I’m Wearing

Sweater: Banana Republic {similar for $75}
Jacket: Levi’s Trucker Jacket
Skirt: Uniqlo {similar for $50}
Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim Mini Pashli Satchel {on sale!}
Shoes: Top Guy Palm Lace Up Bootie via Nordstrom Rack
Pins: Georgia Perry c/o Shopbop
Rings: Fred Meyer {similar set for less than $10}

I’m probably a little old to be anticipating what’s under the tree, but at the same time, there’s nothing that brings me more joy than seeing someone enjoying a gift I’ve picked out for them. I by no means expect lavish gifts, which is why I’m all about treating myself during the holidays. It’s a stressful time, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who likes to treat themselves at least once to a nice gift.
