Rocksbox – July Review

July 12, 2015

Whenever I get my Rocksbox in the mail, I get so excited that I tear into the envelope, forgetting that I can reuse it to send my jewelry back when I’m ready to trade. Gosh … well, at least I’m enthusiastic!



If you’re new to the concept, Rocksbox is a monthly jewelry subscription.  Yeah, I wasn’t sure at first either, but it’s really quite fun and a great deal too!  For $19 a month, you get to borrow 3 pieces at a time and trade in for 3 more as often as you want. And the jewelry is only the most on point high quality designer fashion jewelry!



If you missed it, you can read my first review here.



Wait until you see the pretties I received this time around …

My delightful trio included pieces from Trina Turk, Gorjana, and House of Harlow!

Your jewelry set comes wrapped like a special present with a personal note.  Your stylist lets you know all the information on the pieces that you’re borrowing. If you want to keep something, you get a special insider price.  Here’s the details on my latest grouping …



Here’s a close up of the gorgeous House of Harlow necklace …

How does my stylist know my taste so well?  I filled out a questionnaire and also put things on my wish list. So far, I’ve absolutely loved everything I’ve borrowed. 

Here’s the delicate bracelet from Gorjana …

And I think the Trina Turk earrings are my very favorite.  They’re so modern and luxe.

Best of all, you can try a month absolutely free (no strings attached). Just use the code “fashionshouldbefunxoxo” to get your free month of Rocksbox fun!

Goddess Dress

July 6, 2015

I hope everyone had a fun weekend! If you follow me on Instagram, you know the hubby and I went to a July 4th parade and then fireworks! I just love the little traditions that make a holiday special! 

So tell me I’m not the only one who buys things and then forgets about them.  I got this dress for a steal at the late end of the season sales last summer. So fun to find it in my closet! Like a surprise present from my past self! (Okay okay, I watch too much sic-fi).

Something about the drapey maxi style reminds me of a goddess so I continued that feel with the gladiator sandals.

Then I gave it a 70’s vibe with this funky vintage purse.

What do you think? Does it work?  I liked the odd combination quite a lot, though after the photos I switched to a big practical straw tote for going out and about that day.

Rocksbox Review – 1st Month!

June 15, 2015
When I first heard about Rocksbox, I was a bit skeptical.  Like anything new, it takes me awhile to get used to the idea.  But now that I’m trying it out, I honestly couldn’t be more excited about it! 


If you haven’t heard about it, Rocksbox is a $19 monthly subscription for unlimited jewelry rental!  You receive three pieces at a time and can swap anytime. Shipping is free both ways.  And if you fall in love with something you’re borrowing, you can buy it for an insider price.  Rocksbox even gives you $10 each month to spend toward a purchase!  And the very best part? The jewelry is heavenly! House of Harlow, Gorjana, Kendra Scott … all the most stylish and high quality fashion jewelry!  

On the Rocksbox site, you can take a survey and make a wish list so that your Rocksbox stylist knows your taste. 

When you get your Rocksbox in the mail, it’s like Christmas morning!  

Here’s my first box …

You get a list of the jewelry you’re currently borrowing and the insider price, should you happen to fall in love.



Rocksbox is perfect for someone like me, who loves trends and gets super excited about new pieces, but then bored a bit easily and wants something different.  New gorgeous jewelry to borrow?  Trade anytime you’re ready? Yes please!  So fun!

Here’s my Nakamol wrap bracelet ….

And here I’m layering my delicate Gorjana V charm necklace with my cool House of Harlow pendant …

Curious but aren’t quite sure if Rocksbox is for you?  Well, here’s your chance to try Rocksbox for a month for free! Just use this code when you sign up:

If you try Rocksbox, be sure to tag me in your IG, FB, or Twitter photos, so I can see what rocks you’re rockin’!  And then look for yourself in a Rocksbox post to come!


And keep an eye out for all these pieces in my blog posts and social media accounts, because I’m sure they’ll be part of lots of outfits!

Long Pendant Lust List!

April 7, 2015

I’ve always loved long pendant necklaces, ever since my mom told me they made me look taller and slimmer!  Mom always knows best, right?  

This spring the pendants are long, lean, and oh so cool.   Since I’ve been collaborating with Shopbop, I’ve been drooling all over my keyboard browsing through their jewelry selection.  

Here’s my long necklace lust list:

House of Harlow 1960 Reversible Arrow Affair 





I’ve always thought House of Harlow is just the epitome of cool and I’m loving the idea of a reversible pendant!






Shashi is another jewelry brand with exquisite designs this season.   Isn’t this the perfect necklace for a spring boho look?

Also loving this smart modern look: 

Rebecca Minkoff Y Necklace



Okay, okay … just one more! How cool is this?

Alexis Bittar Long Spear Necklace



Which one is your favorite?  
Are you loving the long pendant trend too?

And don’t forget that Shopbop has FREE three day shipping!  You could be wearing one of these beauties by next weekend.

Shop on, my pretties!
