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’d like to see video blog posts on makeup ideas
I don’t watch videos often since I am usually online while I am nursing my baby
I think a weekly blog post covering health and beauty is great!
I think monthly would be good and I think it should be a blog.
I prefer posts. Actually, videos are completely wasted on me. I live in a rural area and have the best internet available but, even when “the winds blowing right” so I have enough speed to watch a video, I pay by the “gig”. However, I know a lot of people like videos. If you go with videos, please also post the info. I have followed links to info I wanted and it was only available as video.
I think a weekly video would be good. I like topics like fashion (clothing).
A weekly blog post with a video showing helpful household hints would be great, like how to get certain stains out or how to do simple repairs.
It would be nice to do a combo post so that those that want to listen can do that, and others that want to read the post can do that! I love posts about budgeting & recipes!
I think a weekly video would be cool as long as it doesn’t start playing until you click on it. I feel persecuted by audio that goes off w/o me starting it. lol
Monthly seems easiest and best. Doesnt need to be special or frilly, just to the point like you always are.
I very much dislike video posts unless something absolutely has to be a video. My speakers are usually off and I can read much faster than you can talk… just put all the information in words and make it easily scrollable and I can absorb the relevant info in a few seconds instead of being forced to watch a 5 minute video to get what I wanted out of a post. $.02
i think you should do it every month… and they can be about everything! Make-up, household, favorites…. i would like a video blog the most.
I think a monthly video would be great. I would love to hear more about makeup and the new makeup products there are.
I think a monthly video would be great. I would love to see fashion/makeup videos, cant wait to watch!
well if you do weekly maybe you can do a vote at the end of each one. Like “blah blah blah, and thats my favorite ___ for this week. leave a comment voting on each of these you want to see next week.” and either say what the topics/favorite could be or tell them to see the choices at the bottom of the post.
I like prefer blog posts rather than video, I enjoy reading posts about the latest makeup trend and clothing that will not blow my budget.
I think a video once a week would be good! If there’s more detail than you’d like to share in your video, adding a blog post wouldn’t be bad either!
I mostly read blogs at work, and I can’t watch videos here, so I prefer posts! 😉 My favorite posts are on fashion.
I think it should be weekly and probably a combination of video and blog post!
I would prefer a weekly blog post. I’d be interested in health related posts, and age appropriate skin/hair care.
