Rocksbox in my mailbox



So by now you have probably heard me talking about RocksBox whether it has been on my Youtube or Instagram or the blog...They contacted me about...well a while ago... I would rather not say since it has been so freaking long..for Rocksbox if you are reading I am sorry and I suck at timeliness lately haha BUT on the upside I finally OPENED the darn box and discovered what this Jewelry phenomenon was all about.
I will be honest, I am not one for subscriptions...but I do love me some mail...I don't spend a lot on jewelry and most of my jewelry is either from my mom, grandma, Ross/TJ Maxx, or the thrift store.  

Look at that, they even know my name! So basically here is how it works.. 

1. You take a quiz...just like many where they ask you questions based on your style...helps them identify what kind of style you have to identify what kind of jewelry you like..
2. Rocksbox send you 3 pieces to wear on loan...key word LOAN...they are not yours even if you secretly want to keep them...haha Where the piece as long as you want...
3. Return the pieces anytime you want to get 3 new pieces...

It is $19 a month for the subscription...and I am thinking I will try one more go around. I so appreciate them sending me this as I wouldn't have done it on my own... If you guys want to try it for yourself you can get one month free with the code they gave me for your guys...if you do sign up then they will give me some funds to towards my jewelry and then you can do the same...

One Free Month with Code: shanabff18

They come in these little baggy's and I must say they are really nice pieces...they didn't feel cheap and were sterling silver or at least I think they were...either way here are the 3 I got below..

Wanderlust + Co Multi-Stud Silver Bangle

 Lotus Jewelry Studio Petal Necklace in Sterling Silver
 Sophie Harper Pavé Ball Studs in Silver

At first I wasn't exactly thrilled...they are totally not what I would have picked out...but I thought hey they sent me this to try so I will TRY. So I did... I usually gravitate towards gold...but I was kinda digging the silver... 


I will say this bracelet was adorable but I must have stabbed myself like 5 times and Edwina at least once with it....I won't be buying it..but it looks awesome.


the necklace seemed to go with everything...who would have thought!




The earrings are also really subtle and just enough sparkle for me when I feel like being understated....


SO...my thoughts are...THIS is such a fun idea and really helped me think about accessories more since I often will fall in love with them and never wear them...it's not for everyone but hey it's fun! I am a thrifter at heart so maybe this is the best way to get my hands on designer jewels! 

Can't wait to share my next box and let me know if you want me to film the next one!! xoxo also make sure to share with me as I would love to see what you got!

You are probably wondering what the heck I am talking about when I say Kim K started kit unless you follow my youtube channel and come thrifting with us. I was on the hunt for a sexy black dress for an event I was going to work...sadly it didn't happen but I did end up with this dress. Marshals is my GO TO when I need that special something. If you haven't been then you probably don't know what I mean, but basically my mom my sister and I always used to go there if we had somewhere to be..designer clothes for my kind of thrifty prices. I spotted two of these dresses hanging one was large and one was small. I grabbed the large and looking at it on my I should have grabbed the small..notice the gathering in the front and on the sides ahh well..I might have a friend who could rock this...hint hint.. anyway back to the dress...its by Ronny Kobo who I had remembered hearing about I quickly did a search on my phone inside Marshalls and 
bam...almost every pic was Kim Kardashian 
apparently she is a fan
am I hitting the Kim K pose?
I can see why...it hugged my booty just right and made me feel all kinds of sexy...It was almost $200 off the original price and I grabbed it and ran...I love it when that happens... I am not sure where I will wear it next...as I ended up wearing it to a date night with my hubby and my girl Edwina., that video will be up soon on my Youtube channel! 
until then here is a quick behind the scenes of my shoot with +Stacie Frazier and a quick grocery shopping at Sprouts! and stay tuned I will talk more about these Rocksbox pieces!

USE CODE shanabff18 for one Free Month of Rocksbox! I am working on a review of this!

Aside from the fact you haven't seen a normal outfit from me on here in a while, I am feeling pretty happy to be blogging again and I have been working on revamping this thing finally. If won't be for a while but until then I will be back to posting my outfits, recipes, and more! 

So let's talk about my #SummerUniform It mainly consists of these shorts, these wedges and that watch... I have so many amazing pieces in my wardrobe but for some reason I am a creature of habit and comfort. If I like something and I like how it looks on me I wear it often...I mean why not..I am not the girl who never wears something twice...because quite frankly that isn't realistic and just doesn't make sense. 

When I love something I LOVE it...i e 
these shorts 
this watch
these wedges. 
The wedges are so comfortable I am thinking of getting the black ones I listed above...

Do you ever want to get every color of something you love..I am definitely one of those people...Also been loving this Wood Watch, I am not one to wear a watch but I haven't taken this one off!! I also like my shorts a little big so they sit comfortably I always size up.

Thrifting with Edwina has enabled me to stumble on some great finds like this blouse and we have been on our filming game! Please check out our channel on Youtube called THRIFTERS ANONYMOUS HERE don't forget to subscribe for more of our thrifting adventures and styling videos! I have also been filming up a storm on my other channel and I am loving it! I am going to be filming some hauls and reviews soon which will be a little different for me but I think will be a lot of fun. So if there is something in particular you want to see let me know! I have a lot of people ask about Rocksbox so when they approached me to try their box I said yes..will let you know how it is! 

I am also still anwering question on diet and supplements so please email me at colorblindblog@gmail.com I am a little behind on email still so thank you for your patience!!! ISRAEL was amazing so stay tuned for pics and video from my trip!

Lastly I just joined Periscope...still not quite sure what I am going to do with it but I know we will be taking everyone on a LIVE thrifting adventure so make sure to follow me! @ShanaEmily
