Very Jane Awesomeness

Posted on

I first heard about veryjane.com from SarahΒ when we met for her style consultation.

And I kinda wish I had never heard about it because I could have saved myself a lot of money. πŸ˜‰

(All these necklaces came from their site! And all were less than $15!)

Very Jane sends out a daily email (only one I promise) with a LOT of awesome things. These “things” range from jewelry, clothes (mostly women’s, kids & baby’s), home items (such as table runners or pillows) and even photo edits for purchase. There are different sellers similar to etsy and they usually have limited items, so if you see something you like, don’t think it over for too long or it might be sold out before you make a decision.

Here is a sample of what their daily email looks like.

Everything is fairly inexpensive (it’s rare that I see something over $20) and sometimes sellers even have “blow out” sales where they sell any items that they have left over at a discounted rate, so you are able to get things even cheaper. It’s a great site for buying gifts and they always have a TON of amazing jewelry offered.

I liked the green skirt above so much, I bought a blue one for myself and my cousin (for her birthday) when they came up for sale again!

Hop on over to veryjane.com and sign up for their daily email. I promise that you won’t be disappointed. Just please don’t blame me when your savings starts rapidly decreasing.

8 Things To Try This Month

Posted on

Happy August!!

In honor of this new month, here are eight new things that I think you should try out.

1. Hot Pink Lip GlossThis shade by Mac is my favorite and just gives a sheer pink tint.

2. Finding inspiration from Instagram – try looking up hashtags like “#ootd” (outfit of the day) or #wiwt (what I wore today) to see what other people are wearing and get ideas from them. Also look up #coasttocoastchallenge with @c2c_central for a fun clothing challenge every Tuesday and Thursday.

3. Full A-line Skirt – So cute and feminine. And a great alternative to shorts with a graphic tee tucked in.

4. Orange NailpolishThis color from OPI is my favorite.

Bright Power

5. Navy Blue & Hot Pink Combo – These two colors together make me super happy.

6. Oxfords – So comfy and classic. I’m digging these metallic ones by Steve Madden.

7. Straw Fedora – Perfect to cover greasy unwashed hair shade your face from the summer sun.

We had “Crazy Hair Day” at our Vacation Bible School today and we went all out.

I can’t even begin to tell you how proud this picture makes me of my son. Happy to raise a little person who is silly and spirited, all while learning about Christ’s love.
