The Chief Blonde’s January Favorites
Wardrobe Investment Basics
I was hoping to make a video of all my favorites, but it didn’t happen. So instead, I’ll will just show you my favorite products/fashions/etc. for January via this blog post. Let me know in the comments if you like the feature or would rather I make a video. All items this month are unsponsored, but I will always tell you when they are sponsored. This month my focus is Wardrobe Investment Basics.
The Wardrobe Basic Sunglasses
If you are going to invest in one pair of pricey sunglasses, buy a pair of Ray-ban Wayfarers. These glasses are uber-cool, retro and never wrong. Left to right: Ray-Ban Original Wayfarers ($155 via ) and Ray-Ban Outsiders Oversized Wayfarers ($155 via )
The Wardrobe Basic Black Boots
If you head to NYC this season, you will see these Stuart Weitzman over the knee boot everywhere. ($635 via ). You have to try on a pair of Hunter Rain boots just one time to understand why these rain boots are superior in every way to the cheap ones. ($158 via ). These days everyone needs a short black bootie, these British inspired moto-vibed boot Rocket Dog Camilla ($69 via) will be smashing with your favorite moto-jacket and leggings or paired with a edgy skirt.
Wardrobe Basics The Black Tote
I am not a huge purse fan. That’s why you’ll almost always see me carrying this tote from Michael Kors. It’s elegant, has pockets and goes with everything. With only one purse, I have more money to spend on shoes. YEAH! ( $295 via Shopbop)
Favorite Consignment Store for picking up Wardrobe Basics
Fashion Project is a designer clothing donation site where you can donate clothes and a substantial portion of sales goes to your designated charity. You can also buy donated clothes and a majority portion of your purchases go to the charity selected by the donor. It’s such a win-win site and the DEALS ARE INSANE! Many great items from J.Crew, Banana Republic, Coach, Joie, etc. many items are $5. Psst…Watch for their sales, the deals get even sweeter! Wait…What? Here’s my invite link . Below you will see just one of the items I have bought this year (most under $10!).
Update: This favorites post originally had a giveaway attached. The Rafflecopter entry device has been removed and had 7762 entries. See Giveaway Winners.
I recently went gluten free(health reasons) and constantly on the hunt for gf dishes or dishes I can substitute out gluten. Basically food!
I enjoy your videos! I would love to see more on new and unique household products. For instance, steam mops, juicers etc. I like seeing how things work before I purchase 🙂
Monthly Favorites would be nice. I like to wear “active” clothes and it would be nice to see how you could make these look more like casual business.
How about favorite organizing tricks or life hacks? I love stuff like that.
sounds like a nice monthly promo–you do a great job already
Weekly would be good.
I think a monthly favorites post would br great. I am most interested in kid’s games and toys and food products.
More giveaways would be awesome 🙂
I think a monthly favorites would be great. You always have some great ideas/posts/giveaways going on but sometimes I seem to miss what YOU really like or would like to see more of. Maybe it could even include a shout out to a blogger who captured your attention for whatever reason, that made you want to go back and visit more often.
Please do a weekly post. would be interesting.
I’d love to see a weekly giveaway…I’m open too all kinds of products…this is how I learn about new/different products.
doing a weekly giveaway would be great
i think monthly classics that are still working in your closet, or something similar
monthly faves would be the best!! You should do a monthly faves with books, tv shows, movies, clothes, best stores, makeup… all the good things of the month.
Weekly would be good. I like seeing the clothes. I turned 45 on my last birthday. 🙂
I really like it when you do videos with your daughter 😉 I thought the one with the jackets that held all manner of stuffs was rather cool. As far as stuff I like specifically ~ kids stuff, tech (the everyday practical kind ~ tablets, tvs, computers, roku), and kitchen gadgets (would love to see a comparison between le creuset and staub and there are a couple of other enameled cast iron companies out there).
Maybe about movies, what movies did you see and like.
How about casual clothing?
I’m a casual dresser and run out of ideas for updating/adding.
thank you
Weekly or monthly giveaways would be amazing! Anything would be great, I would prefer cash prizes or clothing!
I am considering doing a weekly/monthly Favorites post and/or video. Which do you think I should do
do the video..i like blondes
