Some of my favorite fashion blogs

What? Is Esther blogging about fashion? If you have been following our blog for a while, you know I rarely talk anything related to everyday fashion or beauty tips. Today, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite fashion blogs I stalk. I seriously have a girl crush on these ladies and you'll see the reason why.
If you haven't heard of Wendy' lookbook yet, you're totally missing out! I'm sure you'll find her pairings very inspirational especially for this year's fall season. Please head over to her blog & her AMAZING youtube videos and you'll instantly be stalking her videos just like me! :)

 Another awesome blog I follow is Jean from Extra Petite.  Her blog is more geared towards petite sized working women and I find her blog extremely helpful since she lists all the clothing/accessories/shoes that are on sale. Who would have thought this black cocktail dress she's wearing is from H&M?

 I also absolutely adore Kendi from Kendi Everyday. I love that her style posts are both relatable and affordable!

 If you're looking for perfect outfits for your e-session, why not browse through these blogs and get some inspirations before the shoot?  Any pregger fashion blogs I should be checking out? ;) Can't believe in a few weeks, I'll be starting my 3rd trimester!

Fab Finds in Beauty

As women, we are always on the lookout for the latest trends in beauty or fashion. Wouldn't it be fabulous if you could sample different beauty products or different articles of clothing or accessories without breaking the bank?  I've got some great news for you!

I first read about Birchbox in one of my favorite magazines early year but soon forgot about it until recently. I decided to take the plunge and sign up for its services. If you don't know about Birchbox, I'm here to tell you as much as I know! It's the newest trend in beauty. Every month they send you 4 or more deluxe sized samples of various beauty products that they try out for themselves before including it in their boxes. The beauty products range from makeup to skincare to haircare. The products they send are considered luxury brands and the sample sizes are DELUX which means they are in bottles and tubes-- not in pouches.  If you don't mind pouched samples, they will send a generous number of pouches but you have the option to opt out and only receive the bottles and tubes. The co-founders met at Harvard Business School and they are all bona fide beauty junkies.  Not only do they provide this service, but they also have "how-to" videos from makeup artists who give you tips and show you tutorials on various looks.

The best thing of all is the price-- ONLY $10 a month OR if you sign up for a whole year, it's $110. You can also earn points if you buy the full sized products from their website. For every 100 points you earn, you get $10 off products from their store. More information can be found here.
Look at the cute pink box that it comes in!

The pink box opens up to this sturdy and sleek kraft box.
Every box comes with a note that describes the products and how to use them. I find the attention to detail and quality of products to be absolutely amazing! This would be a great gift not only for yourself but for your bridesmaids!!  
My April Birchbox contained these products.  They decided to "go green" and provided some organic and eco-friendly products which I am so excited to try!
The cute little card is from Bloomin, a stationary company that specializes in eco-friendly chic designs. 

What are you waiting for?!?! For only $10 a month, you have to try it!! You can always opt out anytime but I think it's totally worth the money. Have you ever heard of Birchbox? Check them out here.
