New Brand Alert! Well, new to some. I have been we New Brand Alert! Well, new to some. I have been wearing and putting Sachelle Collective jewelry on my clients for almost two years now. You may have noticed the @sachellecollective tag in most of my “Buy Stuff” stories. 

Sachelle Collective is founded by two women who had allergic reactions to affordable jewelry they purchased online. They decided to fill this gap.

They use recycled brass as their base metal. It is corrosion resistant and can last ages with proper care. Brass is made of copper and zinc, and is nickel free. The majority of their pieces are 14K or 18K gold filled, which is 3-5% solid gold. Gold filled pieces look like solid gold, but is resistant to scuffs and costs dramatically less. 

Their gold plated pieces are at least 1 micron thick and coated with e-plating for extra protection, but I recommend sticking with their gold filled pieces. Lastly, they only use highly quality cubic zirconia, no real diamonds here, but the look is perfect.

My clients know that I shop in categories. If a client is in need of gold huggie hoops, we order at least 4 different pairs because I want the best of the best. Sachelle Collective’s 14k gold-filled ‘Alex’ small gold huggie hoops have won the gold huggie hoop competition so many times, I actually no longer provide other options for my clients. This is the best one even when up against fine jewelry competitors. Their design is just so perfect! And I can attest to its longevity. I have been wearing the gold filled pieces every week for two years now - they still look brand new. 

Go to my stories (or tap through to the end of my highlight “Buy Stuff”) to shop my favorite pieces. Like every brand, I am very particular as to what I want you to get.

It is shorts season! This pair of shorts from @blo It is shorts season! This pair of shorts from @bloomingdales took a coveted spot in my “Flattering Shorts” blog post a couple weeks ago. Go to my profile, tap on the link in my bio, then tap on “Shop My Outfits (LTK)” to purchase.

They are unexpectedly soft and stretchy, making it a great option for women with medium to wider hips. That stretch also means they are extremely comfortable.

They run quite large, so you want to order 1-2 sizes down. I usually wear a 27 or 28 waist, and I had to get a size 26 in these. 

The tropical print linen shirt is from Bloomingdale’s in house brand, Aqua. It also runs large, so I am wearing a size xs.

The flatforms I paired with it is too much fun! Not too heavy and the white woven look is perfect for shorts and cropped wide leg pants. It is also a great option for creating comfortable height with a maxi dress. 

Note: The aqua printed shirt actually has cute matching shorts to go with, but they run small. So to clarify, order a size down in the Aqua shirt, and a size up in the Aqua shorts. (You can see the shorts under “Shop My Outfits (LTK) as well)

Reminder! Bloomingdale’s Memorial Day Sale is 5/23 – 5/29. Save up to 70% when you take an extra 50% off already reduced items.

Weekend away being Auntie V 🥰 Who knew face pa Weekend away being Auntie V 🥰

Who knew face painting was so fun?!?
Who is attending a bunch of events and weddings th Who is attending a bunch of events and weddings this summer? 🙋🏽‍♀️

I have been diving into dresses for my clients and myself, and this is my personal favorite! Via @bloomingdales, this Farm Rio kinda backless, print frock is insanely comfortable, sexy - but not too sexy, packable and FUN. 

It works for a day wedding with no risk of looking part of the bridal party. It also works for brunch, parties, the beach, and travel. 

There is no zipper, just an elastic waist, stretchy straps and VERY flex boning. You just step into it. You can crumple it up and it still looks fabulous. This is the kind of dress I will have for yeeeeears. 

Worried it is too memorable? Fret not. Wear it in front of all your friend groups at the start of summer and again at the end of summer, and then put it away for fall and winter. It will still be fabulous next summer, and people will have forgotten about it by then. 

Last thing, I don’t have the slim back from my youth, but the way these straps are situated really helps camouflage a little bit of back fat, so for those who have a pretty good back that needs a touch of help - this dress has that help.

Are you a Bloomingdale’s Loyallist Member yet? You probably are - it’s free and it just means you earn points on purchases - no matter how you pay. You do not need a Bloomingdale’s credit card, and you earn points wayyyyy faster than other stores’ reward programs. I only had to pay for half this dress because of the reward cards and promotional gift cards I had earned. It is so rare to go to Bloomingdale’s and not have some discount or bonus reward earrings.

Speaking of which, Bloomingdale’s Memorial Day Sale is 5/23 – 5/29. Save up to 70% when you take an extra 50% off already reduced items.
