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.

This scarf....and these booties though... — This scarf….and these booties though…

I know its been awhile ya’ll. I am finally back. Can I first just say, I am sooooo happy its Friday! Who’s with me?

We already know about my love affair….well, every woman’s love affair with shoes. I don’t know what it is but a new sexy pair of heels can make you feel like a million bucks. Even when you only spent $30. Read More About These Booties

Fall 2016 ‘Must Haves’

August 30, 2016 by Styled Sassy

Off the shoulder can be carried right into the fall.

Well, its that time again for cooler temps, blanket scarfs, sweaters, over the knee boots and OF COURSE, Pumpkin Spice Lattes (although I am a pretty basic bitch with my Triple Venti White Chocolate Mochas). If you have followed my Instagram, you will know that I am a beach bum. I am at the beach pretty much ALL SUMMER long. Well, as often as I can being a full time working mother of a really popular 8 year old. We spend most of our weekend at the beach with friends, laying out, swimming, jet skiing and tubing. Some of our best summer memories are on the beach. I was born, raised and will probably die at the beach. I guess my love of the beach is what really kept me here in New Jersey as all my friends were leaving the state. I lucked out having a child who loves it just as much as I do. In this next week and a half we are trying to get in as much beach time as possible. So with this love of the beach, signs of cooler weather make me cringe. The thought of having to bundle up with triple and quadruple layers is not as exciting as it sounds {enter eye roll emoji}. With that being said, I am in LOVE with fall fashion. Yes, I love my jeans, tanks and open toed shoes but I am loving off the shoulder sweaters, over the knee boots and blanket scarfs just as much as the next.

I really cant get enough of this off the shoulder trend

Shopping for fall is so exciting. I especially love shopping for my 8 year old. Most times more than I love shopping for me. Again, I truly lucked out having a child who loves to shop. I went onto the Nordstrom site yesterday and went ‘HAM’…or ‘bananas’…or whatever the cool kids are saying these days (my 8 year old claims its ‘the jam’). So again, I went onto the Nordstrom site yesterday and it was ‘my jam.’ Nope…doesn’t even sound right. I will stick with…I was so excited. So many amazing sweaters and coats, scarves and boots.

So, I figured with many of us transitioning into fall, I would share some of these amazing finds (most of the items are in my cart or currently on their way to my closet). I even went ‘HAM,’ I mean was so excited with the fall children’s section. I hope you enjoy my picks. I cant wait to style them.

One of the best things about fall….boots. Doesn’t matter if they are booties, peep toe booties or over the knew boots, they are the BEST accessory for cool weather. Check out these…all from Nordstrom:

As for sweaters; Well I am kind of obsessed about the off the shoulder sweater (wearing above)trend that will be carried right into the fall, which I could not be more please about. I mean the ability to show just enough skin for a little sexy yet NOT freeze your ass off? I will take it!!! Check out these sweaters… included a variety of different sweaters.

Annnnnd then, another favorite of mine….jackets/coats/vests. Vests have been a closet staple for the past several years. Again, if you have followed my Instagram you will know I have multiple vests and I wear them year round. The absolute best is when you can purchase something that you can wear practically all year round. Below are a few of my favorites. Some for fall and some best for the dead of winter. Even saying the word ‘winter’ made me slightly chilly.

Finally, here are a few of the amazing things for fall that I purchased for my 8 year old son. I also threw in a few little girls things that were just too cute to pass up. I may have to buy them for my niece. Who can resist little girls clothes. They are just so damn cute!!

Who is going to NYFW? I will be there for a few shows and would love to meet some of my readers or other fashion lovers (you know I don’t like the word ‘blogger’)!

Thanks so much for stopping by again.
