DailyLook Elite Box March 2015

Affiliate Links: If you click a link below, I may receive a credit if you sign up. I pay for this subscription.

Apparently I’ve been on a clothing subscription kick, as I just received my very first DailyLook Elite Box. I found out about this in one of my the private Fashion Facebook groups, and I signed up as a guinea pig because 1. DailyLook had offered a free 3-month trial, and 2. I was curious. I can’t help it – I love being surprised and I always enjoy trying new things even if they don’t work out.

DailyLook is very similar to Stitch Fix. You sign up, fill out a style profile, and schedule your shipment. You’re then assigned a stylist, but unlike Stitch Fix, you’re encouraged to email them and communicate your likes and dislikes, and if you have any specific events coming up. I figured I’d let my stylist, Augustine, do her thing and give more specific feedback after I received my first box as to what I’d like to see next.

And of course, because I love to share the shopping fun, I shot photos of my first experience! I’m planning on documenting those as well unless no one likes these sorts of posts, in which case, please let me know. It won’t hurt my feelings, promise. ;)

9 Tips to Use Twitter Effectively For Your Blog

If you’re new around here, you may not know that Twitter is my favorite social media platform. I created my first Twitter account 7 years ago in college. It was definitely not the account I use now, but was one I specifically for school. We would have Twitter Chats (before they were called that) and live tweet some of the material we watched during class. We were even graded based on participation.

Now I use Twitter largely as a marketing platform for myself and my blog. I don’t always have as much time as I’d like to be able to chat and participate. Yet even when I’m not at my desk or have my phone handy to be tweeting, I’m still “there.” When I started blogging, I started a brand new account with no followers. Slowly in a year and a half, I’ve grown my following and finally feel more confident in my “Twitter Routine.” Here’s how I’ve done it.

10 Things You Should Probably Know About Shiba Inus

They’re cute and they’re fuzzy. They kind of look like foxes, wolves, coyotes, and dingos. But they’re anything but your “average” dog. From day one, Rigby has brought about so many questions. From the “what breed is that?” to the “I want one!” responses, I thought I’d share some of what I’ve learned about the Shiba Inu temperament, and other things I think you should probably know if you’ve ever considered owning one too.

*Please note, Shiba Inus each have their own personality and just like their owners, are special and unique. These experiences reflect my own experiences with my own dog and other Shibas I have met over the years. I am not dog professional, just a passionate dog owner.

February Shopping

Affiliate Links
I can’t believe how fast this month flew by. It seems like just yesterday it was February 1st and now the month is basically gone. Shorter month meant I had less time to shop, right? Well, kind of. Since it was my birthday month, I splurged on Stitch Fix AND Golden Tote… it didn’t necessarily work out and I ended up staying under budget after all was said and done. Phew!

What I Bought

February Shopping: What I Bought / hellorigby seattle fashion and lifestyle blog

Chloe + Isabel – I bought this gorgeous Deco Fanfare Necklace back in December, but it just arrived at the beginning of this month after being back ordered. It’s a little more than I normally spend on “costume jewelry” but it’s lovely. – $44

How to Get Free eBooks

BookGorilla: Probably my favorite newsletter subscriptions for books… because it’s crazy long. I generally don’t check it every day or scroll through the whole email, BUT if you’re in the mood for some free or cheap books this is the one to get. When a book’s price goes back up, the photo automatically grays out so you know to not bother clicking through to an expired deal.
