Events: Roberta Freymann Pop-Up Sample Sale

While strolling down Fifth Avenue today, I had the pleasure of happening upon a pop-up sample sale featuring Roberta Freymann and Roberta Roller Rabbit! The sale is at 225 Fifth Avenue at 26th Street. I'm not sure how much longer it's going on, but it looked like they were set up for the rest of the week! Note: Most items were sizes S or XS and it wasn't clear whether or not there was a fitting room.
The prices were pretty tough to beat. There's a great selection of tops for $30 and dresses for $50! Here's the full list:

You do have to be pretty careful when picking out some of the merchandise. I did find a couple damaged items that weren't marked as such. So, they could be easy to miss - and all sales are final!

Here are a few of my favorite designs from the sale:

Kickin' it in lovely printed kurtas!

Style: DIY Tassel Trim Shirt

Top: DIY, Linen Shorts: Old Navy (old, SIMILAR), Sun Earrings: River Island (old)

Sunglasses: ASOS, Bag: Badgley Mischka via TJ Maxx, Watch: Michael Kors

Seed Bracelet: Purchased at an indigenous market in the Brazilian Amazon

You'll need a basic cotton tee with a crew neck. I prefer a tank or short sleeved tee with stripes for this project. I found the Siva tee pictured for $9.99 at Burlington. You'll also need a variety of fabric trims: braided, mirrored, pom-pom, tassel, etc. That's the fun part because you can combine whatever trims you'd like! I found all three of my trims on Ebay. It's a very international shirt because my trims were shipped from India, Malaysia, and the USA! Note: Some of the best trims are sold by international sellers so you will have some wait time.

Here are a few great tee options you can purchase online:

Once you have all the materials ready, pick the trim layer that you want to have overlapped by the others (I chose the mini pom-poms).  Pin it in place about 1/4-1/2" from the collar - depending on the width of the layer you want on top - and sew it onto the shirt first using a sewing machine. Next, pin and sew the second layer on the shirt, starting either just below the first layer or above it with slight overlap (I chose the tassel trim for this layer and sewed its border just below the end of the pom-poms). Finally, pin and sew the third trim layer onto the shirt. If any of the trims are made of a delicate material like mirrored sequins, you may want to sew that layer by hand. That's what I did with my third (top most) mirrored layer. Voilà! Your new shirt is ready for some summertime exploring!

Get crafty & sassy, ladies!

Discovering New Products in my Influenster Spring Fever VoxBox!

I recently received another VoxBox from Influenster, full of great food and beauty products for me to test out and review for you! This month's box is called the "Spring Fever VoxBox". As you may remember from my previous VoxBox reviews, Influenster provides VoxBoxes to key bloggers and social media influencers for free for testing purposes. Check them out at influenster.com! Without further ado, here's what was in my VoxBox:

• Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant/Deodorant - It claims to leave no white marks and last up to 48 hours with odor and wetness protection. I'll definitely be putting this to the test on hot summer days! ($4.59)
• NYC New York Color Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm in Big Apple Red - This balm provides color, shine, & moisture. Its apple-shaped core is filled with Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, and Avocado Oil! It was the first thing I tried and it glides on with a silky smooth texture with great, subtle color! A real bargain! ($2.99)
• Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure in Holla! - It's the simplest manicure I've seen. You just peel off, press on, and done! Lasts up to 1 week. I love the lace pattern I was sent because it will go perfectly with my favorite Tibi dress! ($5.99-$7.99)
• Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes in Reese's Peanut Butter - I'm a peanut butter fiend so I'm exited to try this fluffy cake with a rich creme filling! These also come in S'mores and Peppermint. ($4.49/box)
• Schwarzkopf Professional Rough Rubber - Separates and defines hair while leaving a subtle matte finish. I don't use a lot of hair styling products so this will be a fun and interesting experiment! I know Schwarzkopf has a reputation for very high quality products. ($20.00)
