All About that Bag Borrow or Steal

September 7, 2017October 8, 2017 by Styled Sassy

Well ya’ll, its that time of the year again…..{enter drum roll} Back to School time. I can honestly say I am excited. Along with ‘back to school’ time comes homework, back to school night, clubs, sports, etc. Not to mention Halloween and all the other fun holidays that are right around the corner. Before we know it, we will start seeing Christmas decorations. So yes, I am excited about this time of the year. I also have a bunch of fun adult activities planned this season. Several weddings and a surprise birthday party for a dear friend. As most of my fellow mamas can understand, its not very often we get a night out (homework and child free). So, when I get the chance, I go all in. I put on my best outfit, take more than 5 minutes to do my hair, add a little makeup and of course, grab my best bag!!

Over the past year or so, I have been obsessed with Bag Borrow or Steal . When I have something planned, or even when I just want to roll around town with an amazing bag, I turn to Bag Borrow or Steal. Just like the name, you can literally ‘borrow’ a bag or buy a bag at a price that’s a ‘steal.’ Weather you are going to your high school or college reunion, a wedding or even a blind date, what woman doesn’t have to have a fabulous bag by her side? “On the side of every fabulous woman is a fabulous bag”…. isn’t that the correct saying? Ha!!! Last month, I went with the Saint Laurent Small Sac De Jour Tote. I was in love with it. For an entire 30 days. I didn’t want to give it back. All bags are sent to you in ‘like new’ conditions.

Below are some of the amazing bags you can borrow from Bag Borrow or Steal. Prices range from $75-$475.

If you are looking to invest in a bag or accessories (sunglasses, scarfs, wallets, etc), Bag Borrow or Steal has something for everyone at every price point. Below are a few of the items I would love to have in my closet.

Bag Borrow or Steal has become a site I frequent more than once a week. I even have it bookmarked on my computer. Its the perfect addition to my retail love affair.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bag Borrow or Steal: Just Gets Better and Better

December 16, 2016July 6, 2017 by Styled Sassy

So , Christmas is only 9 days away and I have only gotten 1 (yes, one) gift. I am that person at the mall on the 24th (which happens to also be my birthday), still shopping and running around like a crazy person. Then end up staying up until 3 or 4am to wrap everything. I don’t know why I do it but no matter how hard I try, it happens every single year. I know their are others out there doing the same thing. They may just not want to admit it. Also, Yesterday, it was only 21 degrees outside. Yes, 21 degrees. It is insane how cold it has been here for the past few days. I mean its that cold where you don’t want to go anywhere or do anything but stay your ass in the house. If you have a kid, then you know damn well you most likely will not just be sitting in your house hiding from the cold. Its like kids cant feel the cold. What in the world is up with that?

Well, I know I have talked about it before however, it is certainly worth talking about some more. I am referring to my love of Bag Borrow or Steal (BBOS). Do you remember back in the day when ‘Myspace’ first came out? For my younger ones, Myspace was just like facebook nut it was for people my age…haha. Do you remember checking it multiple times a day as you may do now with Instagram, Facebook, Poshmark, etc? Well, this is what BBOS has me doing. I find myself checking it daily to see what new bags are in….for both to buy and/or borrow. They have a ton of options. You cant go wrong! It’s 2016 people!! You know as well as I do that many people who are looking for a designer bag, would more likely go to a second hand site to purchase. They even have preowned bags that are absolutely brand new…but discounted.

This Givenchy bag has my heart. When it arrived, I kind of just stared at it for a long 3 minutes. Its so beautiful and clean and goes with absolutely everything. It looked brand new. Just as if I had purchased it from a department store. I choose this tan color since it was neutral and I could wear it with a variety of looks.

So, here is how BBOS works: Head to their site, decide if you want to buy or borrow. There are benefits to each and it is simply whatever your preference may be. If you choose to borrow which I have done several times, you will select your bag and it ships standard ground for free. If you want it in a hurry for whatever reason, you can pay for expedite shipping. You then have 30 days from the date the bag arrives to use it, love it, stare at it, etc. (haha). Then a few days prior to the return date, you will get a reminder email about sending it back. At that point you can choose to send it back or you can choose to rent it for another 30 days which I wouldn’t blame you if you did.

Here are a few of my favorites from Bag Borrow or Steal.

Today, they are having a massive sale. 30% off of buys AND borrows with the code “FREESHIP30”. Its definitely something you want to check out.

Thanks for always stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend ya’ll.

Bag Borrow or Steal? Yes Please!

September 27, 2016 by Styled Sassy

Hey y’all. So I have this little tiny secret. Actually, it really huge and awesome and when I tell you, I think you will think so too. There is a place, where you can get the bag of your dreams, without dipping into your kids college tuition money and when you get tired of it, you can send it back and be done….or rent another:)

I will pause and let you think about all this amazingness (I know, its not a word).

So, its called Bag Borrow or Steal or BBOS if you will. Have you heard of it? I don’t know about you but I love the idea of being able to change things up a little bit. Well, BBOS is the perfect fix for me and any of you ladies out there who are feeling the same way. They have hundreds of new bags and you can actually borrow them for 30 days at a super reasonable price. Then, if your still in love with it, you can renew your rental automatically or you can send it back. Its that easy. If your like me, you forget things very easily just because you have so much on your mind. Well, BBOS sends you a reminder email when its time to ship back.

They have everything from Louis Vuitton and Chanel to Alexander Wang and Fendi. If you have a special event to go to…your best friends wedding, special vacation, your 20 year high school reunion (to which you have to be all things fabulous of course) or just want to have a fabulous bag for the month and not ready to commit to that $3,000 bag you’ve been eyeing, then BBOS is all you babes.

Below are a few of my favorite bags listed on Bag Borrow or Steal and all are available for rent.

So, if you ARE ready to commit to that $3,000 bag you’ve been eyeing than Bag Borrow or Steal is still for YOU. They not only have bags to rent, but they have bag to buy too. Hence, the ‘Steal’ in Bag Borrow or Steal. They have some amazing pre-loved bags at even more amazing prices. Honestly, in this day and age, most people I know are looking for deals on pre-loved bags instead of paying full price in the department stores. Often times, its just not worth it when you can get the same bag in brand new condition for 40% + off.

Below are a few of my favorite bags listed on Bag Borrow or Steal and all are currently for sale.

Thanks for stopping by.

Chunky Sweater Lovin

September 15, 2016 by Styled Sassy

This may just be the softest sweater ever made!

I remember being younger and my mom telling me ‘Hill, you need to watch what you eat. As you get older. Its harder and harder to loose the weight. Well, let me tell you ladies. This is the absolute truth. I remember being able to eat anything I wanted: ice cream for dinner, cereal at 1 am, pancakes for lunch, etc. and not gain a single pound. Now, everything goes directly to my ass. Its like my ass says’here it comes’ and just sucks up all the food as soon as it goes into my body. In high school, I was about 119 pounds. I was always thin. When I got pregnant, I was a size 4 and only went up to a size 6. As a matter of fact, when I was pregnant, I still wore my regular jeans, I just used a belly band since I could’t button them. Now, I am at my largest weight. I am not fat, I am not skinny…I am somewhere in between. I am realizing what my mama said to me all these years was absolutely true. I mean, I have this pouch under my stomach {vision a kangaroo} that I honestly didn’t know existed. I mean I knew it was there but I didn’t know it could get larger. I will pause for a brief minute to allow you to chuckle or look down at the pouch below your stomach so you can envision what I am talking about.

So, because I am uncomfortable, I have decided to do something about it. I am joining AmeriKick. They have just opened one by my house and I heard so many good things about it so I have decided to be like Nike…. and just DO IT! I will definitely let y’all know how it goes. I am kind of excited about this new adventure and hopefully getting healthier all while getting back to my old size,

So, since I have this pouch (not really a pouch but it would be cool if it was and I could store stuff in it…haha), I am no longer wearing tops that are fitted. I am looking for pieces that are a looser fit. If I do wear a fitted top, I am definitely throwing a cardi over top. I mean really!!! If I didn’t, and I saw me out, I would most definitely talk about myself. This sweater from Free People (one of my all time favorite brands) is extremely soft and comfortable. When choosing sweaters, it is all about comfort. I don’t want to have a big sweater on. Stiff and bulky are simply uncomfortable. Sweaters that can double as a coat on cold days are key!! With this sweater, you can throw on a long sleeve tee fitted (like this) or a turtleneck (like this) and leave the coat at home.
