Stitch Fix November 2016

Happy November! It seems like Fall is flying right by and before we know it the rest of the holidays will be here. Yikes! The start of a new month always brings me joy because it means another Stitch Fix is on its way!

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 let’s be honest; there’s nothing more fun than receiving mail! ;) This month I received a Fix from a new stylist named Bianca, and I couldn’t wait to see what she picked out for me.

Stitch Fix November 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. 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. With the holidays coming up, don’t forget to consider giving the gift of Stitch Fix too! Gift card amounts start at just $20 and make the perfect gift for anyone who loves clothing. ;)

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

How to Incorporate 90s Style into Your #OOTD

Recently, a hip new-to-me band came to town, and Dave wanted to see them. It was a Friday night after work and honestly, I was tired, but I try not to always be an old lady, so I obliged. It turned out to be an all ages show, which when you’re not in your early twenties, means that it’s likely you may be the oldest or second oldest in the room.

If there was one thing that stuck out to me, it was how differently kids these days dress. And yes, I really did say kids these days because they looked so young! The girls seemed to be rocking some sort of mixture between 90s grunge and a rap music video with crop tops that looked like bras, tight Mom jeans, and oversized bomber jackets. Bless their hearts, to be young again. ;)

How to Incorporate 90s Style into Your #OOTD

It got me thinking about how much the 90s trends that I remember teens wearing when I was growing up have come full circle. Seeing it all come back again has me realizing I’m definitely getting older because this is something my mom always said would happen. And now it has. Oy. Regardless, you can either deny it’s existence or embrace it and relive some of your favorite trends from the past while leaving the ones that don’t suit your lifestyle for the younger generation.

Last Minute 90s Costume Ideas to Thrift

You know when you wait until the last minute and then realize you forgot all about Halloween? Well, as a blogger, that definitely doesn’t happen to me anymore, but it used to. I was the queen of the last minute costume almost every year in college, yet somehow I always managed to pull something off. Typically that involved spending a good while at the local thrift store looking for one piece to make a costume out of, which is exactly what I opted to do for my last Halloween costume ideas post of the season! I arrived at my local Value Village with a few 90s costume ideas in mind and let the availability of what I wanted guide me to the final looks.

90s Costume Ideas

The good news? My Value Village had a ton of options for each piece (though admittedly some were better than others) so I’m confident that if you need a costume in a hurry, you’ll be able to find these pieces too. With all the 90s trends back in full force this year (hello chokers, velvet, combat boots, and mom jeans), you know I had to embrace the style of my youth. For this last Halloween costume post, we’re doing it 90s girl power style with three ladies who were fashion icons in their own way. Who am I talking about? Well, you’ll have to read on to find out the three last minute costume ideas I came up with! ;)

Simple Office Makeup to Have You Out the Door in 10 Minutes

Do you ever feel completely frustrated when you see complicated beauty tutorials and can never quite get the same look as some of your favorite big beauty stars? Trust me; you’re not alone. While I love watching beauty tutorials on YouTube and following along to some of my favorite bloggers, sometimes the looks are just downright complicated.

10 Minute Office Makeup Tutorial // Hello Rigby Seattle Beauty BlogDisclosure: Thanks so much to Sephora Inside JCPenney for sponsoring today’s post! All thoughts and opinions about the products mentioned in this post are my own.

That’s why I’ve always focused on looks that are not only wearable but easy to achieve. When you have a full-time job and a thousand other commitments, spending hours on makeup is unfortunately just not possible. That’s why I love the ease and affordability of Sephora Collection products that can be found at Sephora Inside JCPenney. Creating a beautiful look doesn’t have to take hours, it just has to start with the right products! (And best of all, Sephora Collection products start at $10!)

Recently, Sephora Collection has created a series of videos as part of the #SephoraInJCP campaign that have inspired me to uncomplicate my beauty routine and focus on highlighting one feature in my look. In today’s tutorial, I’m going to be focusing on building a solid foundation using the Matte Perfection Foundation.

BeYu Cosmetics Get Ready With Me + Giveaway

A couple of weeks ago I ventured out in the pouring rain to Bartell Drugs in University Village for their Fall Beauty event. If you’re not a native Seattlite, then Bartell Drugs may not be familiar to you. It’s essentially a neighborhood drugstore that carries nearly everything you need, and also boasts a huge cosmetics selection. Think Pacifica, NYX, e.l.f. Cosmetics, plus all of your other drugstore favorites, and now a new European brand called BeYu Cosmetics.

BeYu is dermatologist friendly and is considered a “mestige” brand. They have prestige products at a middle of the road price. While a bit pricier than some of its competitors, I’ve found BeYu focuses on quality and durability over having an enormous amount of different products and shades.

Today I thought I’d share a fun get ready with me video so you can see the products in action and share my thoughts about each one and how it performs.
