Flirty Fall Essentials

When I was invited by Adore Me to create some flatlays featuring my favourite fall pieces to say I got giddy was an understatement, they are a company I adore and are constantly creating beautiful pieces I'd love to add to my wardrobe.

For those who may not be familiar with the brand, Adore Me is a women's intimates company that sells its products in stores and online through a monthly subscription service or stand-alone products. Adore Me's mission is to encourage, inspire and recognize body positivity and confidence. To get some inspiration for my flatlay I was went straight to the Adore Me Instagram Page, their Pinterest and their #flirtyfallflatlay on social media.

Like many others, fall is a time I like to remain comfy and cozy, here in Eastern Canada it can get quite cold and staying warm is essential. An idea I love is pairing a comfy sweater with a cute bra or bralette and adding my favourite leggings, blanket scarf and riding boots to create the perfect fall outfit!

Now, as many of you may know with the lacking blog posts, fall is an insanely busy time for me, with endless assignments, midterms and extra hours at work (I know many can relate to this), the best feeling is coming home and changing into something comfortable I can relax and unwind in. Adore Me has an amazing activewear section that is perfect to suit all my needs... and I kid you not, I want to buy all of their pretty, pretty pieces!

Although this is not a sponsored post, I highly recommend you look into Adore Me and browse their beautiful collections, they will not disappoint! NOW, after showing you some of my favourite pieces I love to wear in the fall, I would LOVE to know what YOUR go to flirty fall essentials are!

Necklace: Forever 21

Bodysuit: Dynamite

"Skort": JC Penney

Heels: Steve Madden

What is your favourite outfit to wear on a Girls Night out? 

OOTD: Summer Romper

Rompers are one of my favourite, go to outfits for the summer! Super cute, easy to style and require little to no effort, I highly recommend you all have one in your wardrobe!

If you follow me on Instagram or are up to date with my recent blog posts, this romper may look familiar as it was featured in my August Favourites. Purchased at Dynamite, the army green color of the romper showed off what little tan I have left and the beading along the chest gave it a feminine, elegant look. What I love about this romper is that it can be dressed down for running errands, or can be dressed up for a night on the town with friends! One of the best purchases I have made all summer!

What was your favourite OOTD this summer? I would love to know in the comments below! xo

Pearl Bath Bomb Review

A fun fact about me is that I love surprises. Growing up I would spend all my money on those silly grab or surprise bags that were filled with outdated and cheap pieces of jewelry, hair accessories, etc.  When I saw an advertisement for Pearl Bath Bombs while online, I knew it was something I would have to try.

If you have not heard of Pearl Bath Bombs, I will give you a quick summary!

How It Works

Every Pearl Bath Bombs comes with a ring and redemption code. Place a bath bomb in your tub for a luxurious relaxing bath experience.

Inside each package you will discover a surprise cocktail ring valued at $10, and a redemption code hidden inside the bath bombs.

Enter your redemption codes on our Pearl Ring Reveal and see if you’ve discovered a ring valued at $100, $1,000 or $5,000! We will send the lucky winners a beautiful, exclusive ring in their size.

Didn’t discover an exclusive ring? That’s okay, everyone's a winner! We award all participants with Pearl Points. Pearl Points can be collected and used to purchase our exclusive rings or bath products. Every redemption code awards various amounts of Pearl Points.     

My Experience

After spending some time looking over their site I knew I had to purchase one right away. Their site is very user friendly, easy to navigate, and has beautiful pictures of their many bath bombs they have to offer.

I decided to go with the Strawberries and Champagne Ring Bath Bomb and headed to the checkout.

As I was purchasing right around Mothers Day, I was worried it would delay how long it took to ship out, but my order was processed right away, I was emailed a tracking number and it arrived to my door in roughly seven days.

After opening the much anticipated package, I was a little disappointed as my bath bomb had a crack around it and very small pieces began to break away from the crack. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt as I am almost certain that they did not ship out a broken bath bomb and the crack was caused while shipping as it had to travel from Chicago all the way to Nova Scotia.

I couldn't wait to try out the bath bomb and immediately began running a tub, putting the bath bomb in right away and as I am impatient when it comes to things like this, I held the bath bomb under the tap to speed up the process and get to the ring.

The ring itself, was a little larger than I would have liked and I have unusually small fingers so it is not a perfect fit, but overall I was happy with the ring and the whole process.

Along with the ring, you are given a redemption code for a chance to win an expensive ring, but I was not so fortunate and only won pearl points to add to my account. The points can later be redeemed  for free products, so overall I was not disappointed about not winning.

Overall, I loved my experience with Pearl Bath Bombs, I would highly recommend giving one of their products a try, and I will for sure be purchasing from them again.
