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.






Let people know where to get trendy fair-trade certified products that aren’t made in sweat shops.
Hi! I would most like to see a household favorites post. I don’t watch videos too often so a blog post would be best for me. Looking forward to either one!
I like to read, so I’d prefer a written post over a video that I might not be able to listen and then forget.
I don’t like watching videos so I’d like posts about items that make life easier.
Thanks for the contest.
I would love to know about boots, what is stylish and comfortable. Also pants, like jeans.
I’d prefer household products or new food products videos.
Monthly favorite video featuring fashion. You seem to do that the best!
I personally would love to see more video content with a little of fashion and household ideas. How about more fashion geared toward kids?
weekly about clothes because there is a lot information about fashion
I love the pin of the nail polish! I need the tutorials!
I’d like to see your favorite household products, particularly kitchen items!
I like the clothing post. Wear it or no?
I’d love a favorite post about household products or kids’ items or foods.
I would like to see your household favorites! I bet that would be interesting!
household item reviews would be great, normal things, things you dont even think of !
I would love to see a weekly household post….. something to focus on each week.
I’d be interested to see anything in the household/home goods realm. Gift ideas for younger folks – like kids or young adults – would interest me, too!
I prefer a post to a video, and I am interested in household items or health and beauty products.
I like the idea of a monthly favorite post. I don’t watch videos too much. Clothing or household items are both okay. I have already gained insight from your blog on vendors of plus size clothing. I’m not sure I would have realized the range of clothing these vendors provided had I not read one of your posts. Plus your blog always stands out. Keep it coming.
I am not much of a clothes person so I would like to see more household and maybe pet products.
