I'll say this about Stitch Fix (<-- referral link to fun!): They know how to keep a customer. I was getting a little frustrated after my last fix, but this one -- she's a beaut. I opened the box and ohhhh'd and ahhhh'd. (Read about my previous 13 SFs here.) How'd I get so many pretty, …

My co-worker and friend, Dana, ordered Warby Parker glasses and needs help deciding which ones to keep. Just like when I receive Stitch Fixes, I want to harness the power of the Internet to help her. Without farther ado ... which pair should she keep? Any feedback is appreciated!
Each time I get a Stitch Fix, my husband shares his witty opinions. He was on fire this time, so I decided to let him take over the review. Without farther ado ... Jazz Embroidery Detail Blouse ($58) "This looks like a top to go to Mad River. It's basically just asking people to look at your …

I love it when I get six things in my Birchbox (<-- referral link)! 'Twas a good month in Birchbox world: Gilchrist & Soames London Collection shower gel: Ohh, I like this. I don't think that I could pay $16 for shower gel, but I really, really like this. It's definitely the kind of shower gel …

Let's pretend it hasn't been exactly one month since I've posted and just dive into this Stitch Fix order. Laina 3/4 Sleeve Striped Tie-Waist Dress ($38) It's super soft, which is nice, and I love grey, but it's kind of a terry cloth material, which makes it feel more like a beach cover-up. Esten …

For the past three years, around the 10th of each month, I anticipate the arrival of my new Birchbox. (If you don't know what Birchbox is, it's a small box full of sample- or full-size products for you to try. You fill out a profile with your likes, dislikes, hair color, eye color, etc. The team at Birchbox puts together …

It took me a little time to get to this Stitch Fix, so the photos were snapped this morning by my husband and I'm completely without makeup. You've been forewarned. My last Fix was less than stellar, which my stylist, Kate, noted. I'm glad that she acknowledged that because it made me feel like she …

I love StitchFix. I've made that fairly clear in ordering seven other times. But this time ... eh. It was off. I loved two items immediately upon opening, but I was really disappointed to see a bag (which I don't remotely need) and the two cardigans were so blah. Dive in with me as I …

My stylist, Ishara, hit it out of the ballpark with this Stitch Fix. As soon as I opened the box, I was delighted with the patterns, colors, and styles. Once again, I had a box full of work-appropriate, non-cotton blouses and one dress, just as I'd requested. All items were $48-58, which stayed close to …

Another day, another Stitch Fix! (Want to read about the previous four? Go for it.) I was sick when I received this Stitch Fix, so there are no photos with me in them. Ready to see what was in this Fix and what I kept? (I always like to know what you think I should've …

uberX has arrived in Baltimore! I'm obsessed with Uber, the car service where you get a fancy-schmancy car/SUV sent to pick you up wherever you are. I take it to the airport, train station, dinner, etc, It is a little pricier, though, so uberX provides a more cost-effective option. If you have the app, just slide …

My third Stitch Fix arrived and I was so excited to tear into it. For this Fix, I asked the stylist to only include tops. I requested that they be non-cotton and work- appropriate. My stylist was Michelle, and she delivered. I opened up the box to find five patterned and solid tops. Win! The first shirt was …

Have you heard of Goodies.co? It's another monthly subscription box full of—you guessed it—goodies! Food goodies, to be exact. The service is still in beta, but they're doing an awesome job.
