GuiltySoles: Meet Your New Favorite Shoe Boutique

There are few things in life one really cannot have too much of...diamonds, champagne, and cute shoes included. We are always on the hunt for cute yet affordable shoes. We have purchased budget friendly shoes from lots of popular stores and have found that you really do get what you pay for. So how can a girl get her perfect pair(s) without breaking the bank? No need to fret. We found the perfect store for any shoeaholics needs: GuiltySoles.

Marilyn Monroe once said “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world”, and we couldn’t agree more. When you have your perfect pair of heels, booties, or flats on you radiate confidence, and feel like you can conquer anything. We love that feeling, and want everyone to feel that way.

We discovered GuiltySoles from a Facebook ad, and decided to take a leap and try them out. GuiltySoles has an awesome selection of trendy shoes all at affordable prices. This made picking the styles we wanted really difficult! We ended up agreeing upon the LOLA flats and the CASEY heels (lucky us - we have the same shoe size and can share!).

When they arrived, we were surprised by how pretty the packaging was. Usually budget shopping means ugly grey plastic shipping bags. Not GuiltySoles! The shipping box had the phrase "oh so guilty" on it which was cute, and inside were beautifully packaged shoe boxes. Each shoe came with a silky dust bag to hold your precious pair...we really loved this detail. Another awesome addition to the Casey heels was the replacement heel caps, which we found out come with every high heel purchase! The quality of each pair of shoes was impeccable, and impressed us for the price. In fact you really don’t need to feel guilty for splurging at all. Call yourself a “Good Sole” (wink wink)!

FabFitFun Subscription Box Review + $10 Coupon

FabFitFun is a quarterly shipped subscription box filled with the season's hottest beauty, wellness, fitness, and fashion products. Each box costs $49.99 and is packed with the season's hottest products (worth AT LEAST $100). Eve has subscribed to this box for a year now and each season, the boxes keep getting better and better! 

What we love about FabFitFun boxes is that you get a little bit of everything you would want/need for the season ahead. We love that the boxes ship just as the season starts so you have 3 whole months to enjoy them before the weather changes. For winter, each box had a pair of cozy fingerless gloves. Spring had an amazing contouring kit. Summer came with a beach tote to cary your summer essentials. 

We think the Fall 2016 box was the best yet! The first thing we noticed when we opened the box was that it was PACKED! Usually you get a lot of items in each box but this box was bulging and had extra tape to keep the box shut. Once we opened it, we were instantly in the fall spirit! 

We have broken the box down into separate categories: Style, Beauty, Fitness, Lifestyle, and Extras. 

Style:

We LOVE ModCloth. They have such great quality, slightly quirky clothing (think Anthropologie's hip younger sister). We were very happy to receive this blanket scarf in our box. We see us wearing it with pretty much everything this season. Plus, it is so big, it can double as a pretty airplane/travel blanket!

Mod Cloth Loch and Scarf in Taupe Plaid (one of 4 colors) worth $34. 

Beauty: 

This box was heavy on the beauty products. We especially LOVE the nude eyeshadow palette. The colors are beautiful and the shadows are super blendable.

Pure Cosmetics Nude Collection Eyeshadow Palette worth $50.

Spongellé Bulgarian Rose Limited Edition Buffer worth $16. 

Mullein & Sparrow French Lavender Body Oil worth $18.

Skin Laundry Restoring Night Face Serum worth $50. 

The BrowGal Clear Eyebrow Gel worth $20.

Fitness: 

These socks are perfect for yoga. Our feet are always slipping and sliding on our mats so these are a perfect solution!

ToeSox Half Toe Ankle Grip Socks in Fuschia worth $15. 

Lifestyle: 

Adult coloring books are all the rage right now. We aren't super into them (we have a hard time coloring inside the lines!) but this would make a cute little gift for one of our more "mindful" besties. The tumbler however, is Eve's new favorite morning accessory. She fills it with her favorite Iced Coffee and heads to work every morning.

FabFitFun Coloring Book and Pencils worth $16.

The Created Co. Tumbler (one of 2 options) worth $19.

Extras: 

Each box comes with a few sponsored bonus items. This season, the samples are really great. Most of the time you get tiny one use makeup samples or coupons but this time, We got two travel sized items! We love Secret deodorants and this one is extra long lasting (48 hours). The wipes are perfect for keeping in your car to clean your hands/etc. on the go (as well as using them for the more obvious reasons). 

Secret Outlast XTEND Clear Gel Deodorant .5oz.

Cottonelle Fresh Care Wipes 42 count. with two coupons.

The total worth for this box was $238! 

 We totally recommend the FabFitFun subscription box because it has a bit of everything a girl wants for such a great price point. It ships 4 times a year too so it really feels like a treat when you get it in the mail. We already bought a few extras to give as gifts.

If you would like to try FabFitFun, use this code http://xo.fff.me/elM_B for $10 off your first box (that means ALL of this for only $39.99).

Denim and Blush

Outfit Details:

Jacket Cupcakes and Cashmere Le Tote | Skirt KUT from the Kloth Le Tote | T-Shirt Target | Shoes Target | Bag Sondra Roberts Le Tote | Bracelet Clement Le Tote | Rings Forever 21 (similar)| Watch Timex

Ivy has been using Le Tote for almost 4 full months and is OBSESSED with it. There are so many trending items on the site we love and are excited to try. The best thing about Le Tote is you can try an item and send it back after wearing it once or as many times as you'd like in a month before deciding if you want to buy it (for a discounted Le Tote price) or send it back. This is perfect for women trying to find new pieces to add to their wardrobe and for those who just love having a change of clothes without the full cost. It's like having an awesome roommate who lets you borrow her clothes (plus you don't have to stress about getting it back quick and clean)! It only cost $59 a month for unlimited boxes. Each box comes with 3 garments and 2 accessories. Ivy usually goes through around 4 boxes a month so that equals 12 pieces of clothing and 8 accessories to test out a month. How cool is that?!?

From this week's box, Ivy picked a light weight jacket, and this trendy denim skirt (note: the skirt runs big so go a whole size smaller then normal). Ivy has a zip front suede skirt similar to this denim skirt seen here, but she really wanted to get her hands on a denim skirt without having to commit to it before trying it out. She paired these bold pieces with a simple loose boyfriend t-shirt to make it a more casual look.

Stripes for Spring

Outfit Details:

Dress Target | Jacket Levi's | Shoes Target | Clutch Street Level on Le Tote 

Ivy has been wanting a striped dress for a while now, and when she found this dress at Target she didn't think twice before grabbing it off the hanger. She loves how soft it is and how its fitted on top but is cut to be flowy from the waist down. The perfect dress for twirling! She paired it with a crisp white denim jacket. Ivy picked this clutch as a fun and functional accessory to the outfit.  We love it so much! The pattern is so cute, plus cactus print is so trendy right now. We cant get enough!
