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 love posts on favorite bargain finds or DIY-type projects.
I like posts with collages that have favorites. Beauty products, and household items are fun!
I use PayPal a LOT so it would be wonderful to win this one!
I don’t read blogs very often so when I do, I will normally leave some kind of comment. I really like this one and will be reading it more often. Thank you for being here for people like myself!
I prefer posts to videos. Shopping on a budget tips are always good!
Love the variety of your posts, I really love it when you post recipes and health related stuff 🙂
Your blog is unique, I think you should do small affordable fashion items with your inimitable falir.
I would do a monthly round-up of favorite new products in general – that way you aren’t limited in what you can cover.
I would love for you to do some natural posts. Like maybe so home remedies or natural ways to get rid of fleas, bugs, etc.
I love your clothes posts!
I love that Michael Kors bag!
I would love to see more clothes that are hip for women in their 40s, but that doesn’t make me look like I’m trying to be a teenager. Thanks.
If you do a weekly/monthly Favorites post I would like to see you do more on household products that are good for the environment. I am also looking for products that I can use that won’t harm the kids and/or the dogs and will clean as well as products that contain chemicals that are bad for us and the environment!
I think I like video reviews. I like kitchen gadgets and would love to see reviews of those.
I think the monthly faves is a great idea! I’d like to see a mix of stuff…including fashion, beauty, household items (cleaning supplies, etc), and maybe even a fave seasonal post as well! =)
I like the idea of a favorites post, allows me to read it quickly. I just don’t find myself as likely to watch a video. I say speak on what you know best. Sometimes that might be household related and other times clothes, etc.
I’d like to see posts or videos on clothing accessories, I’m always looking to have a completed look.
I would like to see clothing and shoes!!
I’d like favorites on accessories
I like clothing and footwear best. I enjoy reading your blog.
Lovely freebies! Thanks for the chance
I like the idea of favorites. You could pick different themes each time. Maybe even according to the season. I would like to see more fashion items!
