“Support a cause, Support your legs”

I have an obsession with cute socks, and when I got the opportunity to share about SoxxyAir, I knew I couldn’t pass it up!

SoxxyAir – Support a Cause, Support Your Legs from sarah stabile on Vimeo.

Not only are SoxxyAir socks super adorbs, but they provide support for both your legs and really good causes.

Just for reading Twenty Something Plus, you get a 20% off Reader Discount with the Reader Discount Code: SoxxyAirs. I am originally from Connecticut, so Sandy Hook really hit close to home for me and I plan to buy the Jesse Lewis Choose Love socks when the SoxxyAir Charity socks become available at the end of April.

Please visit the SoxxyAir Indiegogo page, share the video and contribute what you can to the campaign.

A Week Plus: Bold Dress

Not sure if it was obvious or not, but I’ve been trying to do somewhat of a fashion Friday by consistently posting outfits ideas via A Week Plus. That being said, I know I’m a little late, but it’s still Friday somewhere!

This dress was a personal challenge for me, I could only think to wear it with blue shoes. I have two pairs of blue shoes, but I still wanted to try to think more outside the box.

When I really focused on it, I came up with a ton of different ways to wear it and felt silly for limiting myself in the first place.

How would you have styled a dress like this?

Something New: Women’s Leadership Conference

I had great first day at the Vermont Women in Higher Education Women’s Leadership Conference. The keynote was empowering, the session was inspiring, the clothing swap was a major win for me and yoga was the perfect way to end the day!

This is not my first conference by any means, but this is my first time attending one geared towards women, and creating opportunity.

Can’t wait for tomorrow and to share my experience with you all…but for now, check out this video of the keynote speaker from another talk she gave.

And check out the tweed blazer I scored at the clothing swap!

DIY: Two-Tone Chairs

This week I decided to tackle another DIY project from Pinterest. I have two old wooden chairs that were strictly for function, rather than aesthetics. I felt rather indifferent towards them, but after an Alt Summit and Better Homes and Gardens webinar session on color, I really wanted to take on something to make my apartment feel more like a reflection of me.

One thing of the many fabulous things that I took away from the session was that pink can be used as a neutral.

I had some left over paint from a Pinterest fail, so after exploring my Pinterest boards, I decided that these chairs had to happen.

I am happy with how they turned out, the only thing I’d change is the paint finish (I wish I’d had a glossier paint). But all things considering, for a $0 project, not half bad!

Blog Cards

To quote myself, “If you give a girl a blog, she’s gonna want business cards to go with it.”

I am very excited to share with you my BRAND NEW blog cards…I designed them on using Moo, and am so happy with the results!

I decided to order blog cards (business cards for your blog), after reading Blog, Inc. by Joy Cho.

Do you have a blog? Do you have blog cards? Please share!

Mani and a Magazine: Green & Gold

Top of the morning to you!

Obviously, I painted my nails for today…St. Patrick’s Day mani, YAY! I love being festive and getting into the holiday spirit for just about any holiday.

This time, instead of a magazine I opted for a book. The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin.

This winter has been very cold and very long, and this book is a reminder to find happiness in everyday life.

I used Julep in Oscar and Love & Beauty by Forever 21 in Green (which is not longer available online, sorry!).

Oh Snap!

I am constantly misplacing my razor handles. When I travel, packing them is such a bother so I end up quickly shaving beforehand and wearing pants when the stubble starts to show.

When I heard about the Gillette Venus Snap with Embrace, I was intrigued. Mostly because after miss placing my latest razor handle, I gave up and used the razor head by itself. Yeah, that was fun…

So when it came out, I bought one off of Drugstore.com*. I used it the day after I got it and was pleasantly surprised. I expected to like it and use it as an alternative but I actually like it way better than a regular handle. I feel like I have more control.

Now I want to get another one to keep in my travel bag so I have on when on the go and one at home. They only come with one razor head, but they cost less then other razor handles that come with two and they work the refills so it really is worth it. Hello, new favorite product!

The Poshmark App

If you’re anything like me, then you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear.

I have a small closet, so I have a massive overflow and I don’t even wear all of it!

I came across an article this summer in a magazine (I can’t for the life of me remember which one, but if I do I’ll make sure to update!) about closet clutter and how to reduce it, one suggestion was the app Poshmark. I signed up and found that not only could I make money while getting rid of clothes that I wasn’t wearing, but I could also buy things second hand, in great condition, and at a fraction of the retail cost! I didn’t know what to do with myself…so many great features! While there are some minor draw backs as with anything (think eBay) it really is a great community to be apart of and is so worth checking out!

So far I’ve made over $500 and I haven’t even been signed up for a year!

If you do sign up* or already have a Poshmark closet, follow my closet and let me know so I can follow yours.

*The app is free and get a $5 credit with the code: HVIMR

I’m On YouTube!

Ok, so please keep in mind that I am just experimenting with YouTube and and by no means proclaiming to be a vlogger.

For now I am only sharing a few videos (really slide shows) that I have made using the Flipagram app. Nothing too fancy! Eventually I’ll step up my game, but not yet.

I have already uploaded two videos, one of them is of my March Birchbox!
