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 Shopbop.com) and Ray-Ban Outsiders Oversized Wayfarers ($155 via Shopbop.com)
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 Shopbop.com). 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 Shopbop.com). These days everyone needs a short black bootie, these British inspired moto-vibed boot Rocket Dog Camilla ($69 via Zappos.com) 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! (Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Multifunctional Tote $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 love the Michael Kors tote and the Stuart Weitzman over the knee boot. It’s always great to have basis black items that you can wear with anything.

I would love to see a weekly video/blog combo series of recipes!
Donna Kellogg says
I think you should do weekly both video and blog and I think it should be a variety of topics to keep everyone interested. DIY are great or even home remedies.
Tarissa says
Weekly videos would be great. I’d like to see fashion tips/ideas, and makeup tutorials. 🙂
Heike Nelson says
I think it should be a blog and maybe every other week

Weekly,,,,that gives time for different info. Would love to see more gardening tips.
Michelle Tucker says
If doing video’s, I like when they are combo blog/video posts. Beauty tips are great. I like household tips too. Hey, if you’re feeling up to it, I also love to see video posts about where you live! Your town and such. Just a little here and there about local shops and stuff. Maybe beauty items that we wouldn’t see otherwise?
