little white dress

Personally, I think the little white dress is just as important in a closet as the little black dress, especially in the spring and summer. It just lightens everything up, which I'm needing now since it's been so gorgeous outside lately! Add my go-to chambray and my Sperry's and I am set.

spring cashmere

Every time a new season comes around, it becomes my favorite season. So right now, I am just loving spring. Sunshine most days, much warmer weather, and I even like the rainy days! Probably just because it's rain and not snow. Along with this nice weather, basically means a whole new wardrobe, and mixing winter pieces with warmer weather ones. Such as my favorite cashmere sweater!

Who else loves each season as it comes around?

pink floral

I am so happy that it's dress weather! I definitely live in dresses in the warmer months, and Easter Sunday was no exception. This pink floral dress (an oldie from when I worked at Delia's) was perfect for the new spring weather, and I knew I just had to add these gorgeous Rocksbox pieces to complete the look! (and you can get your first month of Rocksbox free with the code kyliemavrakisxoxo!)

boxes to try

This whole "box subscription" service has really taken off lately! You can just about anything sent to you in a monthly box, ready for you to try out. Personally, I think it's pretty darn awesome. It's like a gift to yourself every month! Here's a roundup of service I'm either a part of, have heard great things about, or just want to try!

Birchbox/Ipsy: Both of these are pretty much the same: $10/month, and you get a sampling of beauty products to try. I think this is great because you get sample sizes (and sometimes full sizes) of products you want to try, but don't want to buy a full size of. Plus, it's really good for people like me, who never really stray out of their makeup basics. IT forces you to try new things! As for one service versus the other, my sister has Ipsy and loves it! I used to hear some not so great things about Birchbox and the products they send, but I think they've stepped up their gain lately! So you can't go wrong with either!

Rocksbox: I did a whole post on Rocksbox earlier this month, so I won't write a whole bunch for this one! I just wanted to include it because I absolutely love this service. It's basically Netflix for jewelry for $19/month, and you can keep the pieces for a discounted price if you fall in love. Amazing! And you can get your first month free with the code "kyliemavrakisxoxo"!

Nature Box: An old teacher of mine started getting this box when it first came out, and I always assumed I wouldn't like anything in it because it would be all weird, healthy snacks. One day I actually looked at the list of snacks you can pick for your box, and I was shocked! Popcorns, fruit snacks, and delicious look granola? I was sold immediately! This service starts at $19.95/month (you can add on how many snacks you want each month), and you start with a free trial box with their best selling snacks. And after that, you pick which snacks you want in each box. Um, yes please.

Le Tote: This service is like Rocksbox, but for clothes! You pay a monthly fee ($49/month), and get a box with 3 pieces of clothing and two accessories that are picked out by your personal stylist! (Who had help from the style quiz you took, and the pieces you favorited.) You can send it back as many times as you want it one month, and get a new one right away! And of course, if you love something, just keep it and they'll charge you the discounted rate! (And they take care of all the laundry and cleaning of the clothes. AWESOME) This is one I haven't tried yet (college student budget), but I really want to in the future!

What boxes do you use? Any I should know about?

rocksbox

I got my first Rocksbox last week, and it's safe to say that I'm officially in love with this service.
If you haven't heard of Rocksbox yet, I've been describing it as Netflix for jewelry. Sounds awesome, right? When you make your account, you take a style quiz so the stylists know what kind of jewelry you're looking for. And then you can go into the list of pieces they have and add things to your wishlist. Pretty much a surefire way to get things you like! Then, your stylist makes up you box for you, which includes three pieces of jewelry (usually centered around a piece from your wishlist). You can wear them and keep them for as long as you want, and send them back (with a prepaid shipping label!) when you want your next set! AND if you really love a piece and absolutely must keep it...you get 20% off retail price through the site. Amazing.
And the best part? It's only $19/month. And you're getting $100's worth of jewelry in those boxes! The even better part? You can get your first month FREE with the code "kyliemavrakisxoxo"! That's a whole month of free, amazing jewels.

In my first box I got the Sophie Harper Pave Triangle Necklace, the Gorjana Blakely ring in gold, and the Margaret Elizabeth Teardrop Bangle in Labradorite. And I'm not lying when I say I was immediately in love with all these pieces. (Just ask my parents. There was a lot of oohing and awwing as I opened my box!) The necklace is the perfect everyday necklace, and looks adorable layered with others. The ring is simple but SO pretty, and I actually feel like I could wear it all the time. And the bangle is adjustable, which made me love it immediately (I have such problems with bracelets fitting my wrist!). Plus, these pictures don't do the stones in the bracelet justice. Gorgeous. 

If you haven't jumped on the Rocksbox train yet, what are you waiting for??

And don't forget, you can get your first month free with the code "kyliemavrakisxoxo"!
