January Favorites

January 8, 2015 By Shelley Zurek 421 Comments

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

Ray Bans Traditional and Oversized

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

 

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

Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Multifunction 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

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!).

    I think a weekly video would be good. You could cover things like fashion to hide flaws and show our positive attributes.

    I would do a combo post once a month to start and then move it to weekly when you hit your groove with it.

    My preferences would be a once a month blog/video combo on household things and/or arts & crafts related stuff.

    I always enjoy youtubers monthly favorites videos, so I would suggest that. There are tons of people who do beauty products already, so seeing something different like fashion would be cool!

    I’d vote for weekly, and not for video – I almost never watch videos when I’m cruising around online, and nothing irritates me more than automatic and pop-up video ads. I’d much prefer something like this, with nice pictures and text in-between.

    And I’d choose makeup for the topic, mostly because I’m hopeless at makeup and can always use more tips!

    A weekly video of what to wear/not to wear so as not to look silly after a certain age would be fun.

    I think that video contests are hard to follow – I would prefer to have a blog contest. I think monthly id=s good.

    I think it should be monthly and a blog not video.

    You should post about ever week. Both video or blog post are just great. A variety of topics could be covered, even and up home improvements…
