Hey everyone, happy Wednesday!

        Today I am super excited to bring you another unboxing and review from Dasein Handbags. I recently did a blogpost HERE, and a Youtube video HERE on the brand. Before I get started I do want to let you know that Dasein did gift me this bag however my video and blogpost are not sponsored and all views are my own. 

        I am so impressed with Dasein Handbags! Their quality just keeps getting better and better. I picked out this bag because I love the braid detail and the coffee color is just so beautiful! Throughout this handbag there are gold details on the zipper pulls, the nameplate, and the handle that are just so stunning!

        The Inside of this handbag is so big, in my YouTube video I put my laptop in it and it still has so much room! I also like that it has two pockets and two pouches that you can put things in like your keys and cellphone. On a bag that is bigger like this it's a necessity. 

        Another thing I really love about Dasein Handbags is that they give you a pouch with most of their bigger bags. This can be used to help keep your bag organized, and even use it as a clutch by itself if you want. That's a huge plus, it's like getting two bags in one! 

        For more details on the bag you can watch my video below!

I CREATED A BOUTIQUE ON POSHMARK!

Hey Everyone! Happy Monday! 

        I recently decided to create a Poshmark boutique and I'm so excited to share it with you! I love fashion and thrifting so much, so I decided why not?! I do have a very successful beauty account on Poshmark but I do not sell clothes on there, and I felt like I needed an all new fresh account to sell clothes. So I have officially started Colada Boutique!

        If you don't know, Poshmark is an app where you can buy and sell clothing, some new and some used. I really like Poshmark because there are so many cool closets and there is a community vibe that is unlike any resale app I've seen. People who sell on Poshmark are true fashion and clothing lovers. Whether you are looking for something new and currently in style or a vintage piece you can definitely find it on Poshmark! 

        If you're interested in checking out Poshmark use my code COLADABOUTIQUE to get $10 off your first order.

          

        Here is an example of the type of clothing you can find in my boutique. I have vintage denim, high-end designer dresses, and cute comfy T-shirts! My goal is to capture my style in this boutique. There will be some things that I will sell just because I found them for a good deal and I know I can get money for them but I will really be focusing on things that I would actually wear or styles that I think are very visually pleasing. For example I love this yellow T-shirt that says love, it gives me boho hippie vibes and I could totally see myself wearing it as an every day top or even outside camping. The denim skirt is so cute and it gives me early 2000s vibes.  I absolutely love butterflies they are so in right now! The BCBG dress was such a steal I bought it for less than $10 and it's worth so much! It fits so nice, great for a girls night out! 

        You can find all these items and so much more in my new boutique! My goal is to source items 1-2X a week, and I am currently going to be uploading products into my store 2x a week as well. I currently have just over 30 items listed and I should have another 10 more items before the end of the week. Let me know if there's something you would like to see in my boutique and I can specifically look for that.

AMAZON HANDBAGS: DASEIN BRAND REVIEW

Hey everyone,

        I was recently approached by Dasein to test out two of their handbags currently available for under $40 on Amazon. Recently I've been seeing a lot of stylish handbags on Amazon for way less money then what you would find at your local department store. But are these bags good quality? Keep reading to find out my honest thoughts on these two handbags!

Bag #1

        I'm so impressed with the black handbag! I love the gold accents and most of all I love the braiding on the side. The braiding and the tassel give it a low-key boho vibe. Not only would this handbag be great for work but also for an every day bag. This bag fits my 13" laptop and has room to spare. You can purchase this handbag HERE for $39.99.

        This black handbag also comes with this cute little clutch. There is also a removable strap so you can wear it crossbody. The tassel is removable and you can actually use it as a key chain as well.

Bag #2

        The second bag I received was this light pink tote. Pink is my favorite color however I don't typically wear it.  I'm very comfortable in black and it is my go to color for clothes and accessories. So at first I didn't think I would wear it much, but I've actually been wearing it so much lately.

        I did end up taking off the "DS" tag and replacing it with one of my furry keychains HERE. 

        The best part about this bag is it extends so you can hold so much more. This handbag also comes with a strap to wear crossbody. You can purchase this handbag HERE for $39.99.

THE BEST ROMPER FOR ONLY $11!

My new favorite romper from Walmart is only $11!  The other day I needed to pick up a couple items from Walmart and since I was there I figured I might as well check out the clothing. I am so impressed with what I found.

 I love this romper because it is sooooo comfy! I am totally impressed with the quality of the fabric, and this romper could easily sell for $50.00. So to be honest this romper is normally $24.88 but they are currently on clearance in stores for $11.00 or online for $19.50. The romper comes in tan striped, a navy blue, terrace green, and black striped which is what I purchased. I would say the romper fits true to size. I am normally a size medium in clothes and a medium in the romper was a perfect fit for me. I was actually surprised that it wasn't too tight in the torso area.

I styled this romper with my new favorite bag from Lovevook Handbags, you can find it on Amazon for currently only $33.88. My sandals are the Women's Mad Love Tahlia Two Band Slide Sandals from Target and they are only $19.99. They are really comfy and I actually have quite a few friends that have purchased these sandals because they are so cute!

I can't remember where I purchased my hat from as its been a couple years, however I found a very similar hat on Amazon for $22.99. You've probably seen me wear this hat before so many times if you follow my instagram because I love it so much and it makes every outfit look so much more stylish! My necklace was $2.88 at Walmart, and my bracelet was $6.92 from Walmart as well.

I've never really shopped at Walmart for clothes before but I think its my new favorite store! Whats your favorite store to find inexpensive chic clothes?

UO HOME OBSESSIONS | KITCHEN EDITION

Hey everyone!
As you know, many of us have been spending a lot of time at home lately. I have been getting so inspired to update & renovate my home. My fiancé Vince and I moved into our home just over two years ago, and I think its about time we pick up some items like matching plates and some wall decor. I really love Urban Outfitters home section because most things are my style and I'm guaranteed to find something on their website that I love. Currently I am unemployed due to the Covid-19 outbreak, so this will be a wish list for now and may turn into our future wedding registry, hopefully. :)

 Currently we have 4 plates in our home, 2 match, and 1 is badly chipped. I've been waiting till we get married to get plates so I can put them on the registry. I fell in love with these plates right away. They are so simple and chic, they will look good in any home. They are the Stone Lava Speckled 12 piece dining set in white. $69

I think the Ivy Nesting Bowl Set in the shade black is perfect to display our fruits and vegetables. Currently our lemons and tomatoes are just spread out on the counters, in our way every time we cook. $49

This Painted Mango Wood Serving bowl would be great for entertaining. I would most likely use it as bowl for bread. I absolutely love the look of this bowl. $39

The Woven Trim Mango Wood Finish Serving Bowl fits my boho style perfectly. The accent rope adds such a beautiful detail to the simplistic bowl. I can picture myself using this as a salad bowl. I just need to find some wooden tongs to match. $44

Vince and I love to go to Whole Foods and pick up some Brie, crackers, wine, and beer to bring home and enjoy on a nice sunny day. We love to style it on a platter and make it look all fancy. I'm also obsessed with all thing moons, so the Selene Serving Platter would be perfect for us. $29

I love vintage bohemian style cups and glasses! These Embossed Purple Glasses are so beautiful. I love the mauve color and the fact that they are actual glass. $8

This Chloe Embossed Goblet is so gorgeous! I love it in the navy color, however I do wish it came in either a clear or purple like the glasses above. These glasses just add a little bit more romance to your dinner that I just love.  $18

Last but definitely not least is this Amelie Taper Candle Set. I think these are absolutely gorgeous and I need them on my kitchen table. They come in a pack of two so I would get two sets. They are just so romantic and glam. $25

MATERIAL BOX: A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION BOX W/ DESIGNER PIECES

JACKET | TANK TOP | JEANS | SIMILAR SHOES

I recently discovered Material World, which is a monthly subscription box where a stylist picks out 5 designer pieces and sends them to you and you can decide if you want to purchase them or send them back. This brand focuses on sustainability by sending you gently used items, in great condition. All items are quality designer pieces that came from other fashion lovers closets. The subscription costs only $29 a month and if you decide to keep anything, then that $29 will be credited towards your purchase.

When you first sign up they have you take a style quiz and talk about what you would like to get out of Material Box. What I really like about this was that I felt like the stylist they paired me up with truly listed to what I was looking for and what my current needs are. They even ask for your social media so they can see what you style is and pick items to pair with what you already have.

I will be uploading a full video all about this process soon, but I'm just so excited and in love with the pieces that were sent to me that I wanted to start showing you guys. The jacket by Vince and shoes by Givenchy from this outfit were sent to me from Material World. 

If you are interested in checking it out, please use my referral link HERE. I am not sponsored, but if I refer someone who signs up I do get a credit towards my next box. :)
