I love Stitch Fix and I'm set up to receive boxes monthly. I started getting them monthly in September and have got one every month since. I always post about my boxes and share the items that I received. If you've missed any of my fixes you can see them here. If you have no idea what Stitch Fix is then you are missing out! Go check it out!
In November, I travelled to east coast the week before Thanksgiving. I had left on Thursday and was to return back home on Monday. My Stitch Fix was scheduled to arrive Friday and that meant that it wouldn't have to be back in the mail until Tuesday. In between my connecting flights on Thursday, I tracked my box and it arrived a day early. I freaked out. I was going to miss out on my box and have to have my fiancé pack it all up and send it out for me. That night we skyped and he showed me everything in my box. I didn't know what to do So the next day I emailed Stitch Fix and explained the situation. They were so nice about it! They gave me extra time to get home and physically see my fix in person before I had to return it.
When I returned home, I didn't have time to take my normal photos to show off all my items but I wanted to share what was in my November box. I kept one item!
1.En Crème. Henny Cable Knit Pullover Sweater. Size Small
I had received this sweater in my October box but had returned it. The moment I sent the package back, I was regretting my decision. I kept thinking about this sweater and had to have it. In my message to my stylist, I begged for her to send it again and she came through! I was so happy and wore it the next day after opening my box. That's why the stylist notes are so important for your fixes. They really read them and try to give you exactly what you are looking for!
2. 41Hawthorn. Abrianna Longsleeve Knit Cardigan. Small. Rust.
My sweater came in a rust color. It was really soft and comfortable but was so thin, I'd have to wear another sweater underneath to stay warm in it.
3. Liverpool. Anita Skinny Pant. Size 6.
I loved these pants. They felt like butter on my skin but they were entirely way to big in the crotch. I could have hidden a pizza box in my pants that's how big they were. The legs fit great but I just had way too much extra fabric.
4. Renee C. Melisa Mixed Geo Print Pencil Skirt. Small.
This skirt fit great but it looked and felt cheap. I rarely say that about Stitch Fix clothing. I don't know if it was the design or the fabric but it looked super cheap. Like something you'd find on the discount rack at Rue 21 or Forever 21.
5. RD Style. Meredith Faux Leather Patch Cardigan. Small.
This sweater is really thick and heavy. I also liked the coloring but I was nervous about the faux elbows. I was afraid I would scratch or rip the fabric really easily.
So there you have it, that is the case of the missing Stitch Fix. Now I make sure to set up my scheduled fixes when I'll be home! Have you tried Stitch Fix? I already can't wait to get my February box!
It's Thursday and that can only mean one thing... it's Theater Thursday! This week's featured movie is, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
When I was growing up the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were booming in popularity. I can remember their stuff being everywhere. When the new movie was first announced I got really excited but when I saw the preview, but hey life gets busy and well I finally set down and watched the movie. In June part two is set to hit the theaters.

Being the reporter that she is she follows the vigilantes to the roof and what she sees makes her pass out. When she comes to she sees four mutant turtles standing and talking to her.

Will April and the city of New York remain safe? Watch and find out!
We held our ceremony in the Amber Room at Casa Real.
The aisle was lined with white rose petals and candles and the end of the aisle was a white marble fire placed topped with candles. We also had hand painted silver Manzanita trees at the front and back of the aisle. My groom wearing Vera Wang, walked his mother down to an acoustic version of a song from The Last of the Mohicans.
I walked down the aisle to the main song from Romancing the Stone. As soon as my mother heard the song, the water works began. My poor mom couldn't stop crying. My mother walked me down and gave me away.
We exchanged traditional vows but also chose to say our own vowels to each other. There ceremony itself was very short. We had chose not to do any readings or have songs and hymns read in between. We didn't light candles or pour sand in a jar. We stood there in front of the fire and told each other how we felt. We laughed and we cried and once it was all over we were pronounced husband and wife.
We walked down the aisle together for the first time as a married couple to, It's Now or Never by Elvis Presley.
