Review: Rebecca Minkoff Love Chevron Quilted Crossbody & Clutch (Nordstrom Exclusive)

Hi everyone, today I wanted to share with you my very first video! I shared a picture on Instagram recently of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale haul and I wanted to give a review on both the Rebecca Minkoff Love Chevron Quilted Crossbody and Clutch (still available here) as a side by side comparison. 

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul

The crossbody is on sale for $196 from $295, but unfortunately it's already sold out online.  The clutch is on sale for $169 from $265 and both colors are still available online.  Even though I planned to return one of them, in the end I think I'm going to keep both! 

Let me know in the comments if you liked the video and also if you're interested in seeing the rest of my haul goodies.  Thanks for stopping by!

Review: L'Oréal Ultimate Straight Haircare Line

L'oreal Ultimate Straight Haircare Line from Influenster

I recently received this haircare package courtesy of Influenster. The L'oreal Ultimate Straight Haircare line is definitely not a stranger to me. I've only finished the shampoo/conditioner set back in April. I was drawn to the shampoo because it contains keratin (a popular protein for hair in high end haircare). So I bought the shampoo and conditioner on my own at my local CVS. =)  Given that I haven't repurchased, I was a little disappointed that I received this package from Influenster. But the other 2 products were new to me and I'm glad I did give them a try.

Just a quick summary of my hair, I have your typical Asian straight hair. I've never dyed my hair and it's naturally straight. Not pin straight, but it bends around my ears and towards the ends. And thankfully no split ends! My normal hair wash routine is to shampoo from roots to ends and only condition from my ear down to ends. I never condition the roots.

This L'oreal Ultimate Straight Haircare line consists of 4 steps:

My Wishlist: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2015

Today I wanted to share with you all my picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary 2015 Catalog. Every year the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the big event for all fashionistas and the ability to shop their sale early before the general public definitely was the reason why I signed up for the Nordstrom Rewards credit card.

The anniversary sale will start with Early Access from July 9-16 and will be open to the public from July 17 on. Here are my picks and things on my wishlist! (I'll update with links once all these items become available.)  Let me know what you're getting!

My Picks for Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

• Laura Mercier "The Art of Colour" Palette $79 - LM always has a similar holiday palette every year. Definitely a staple for those who don't own one of her palettes.
• Movado "Bold" Round Patent Leather Strap Watch $300.90 - a classic Movado face in pretty new colors, I love the gold band
• Mackage Wool Blend Coat with Leather Sleeves $459.90 - I love how chic this coat looks with the leather sleeves. The leather sleeves make it a little edgey but the wrap front is definitely all feminine.
• YSL 'Rock Attitude' Glossy Stain Set $72 - I haven't tried this cult favorite yet and I missed it when Sephora had a similar set, so definitely want to grab it this time.
• Hunter 'Tall' Back Zip Rain Boot $169.90 - Another cult favorite, I already own a pair, but this one is a little more fun (and probably A LOT easier to get into) with the back zip
• Rebecca Minkoff Chevron Quilted Love Crossbody $196.90 - I might have many RM bags already but this one that is so Chanel Boy Bag-esc is just too hard to pass over
• NARS 'Blame it on NARS' Cheek Palette - this is always a cult favorite (probably with the exception of last year's holiday palette) and always sells out fast! Though the shades in the picture look like they're from the current line, the names indicate they're brand new colors. Plus it includes a little cheek brush this time.
