All About Rocksbox + A Promo Code to Get You One Month of Free Jewelry!

February 13, 2016 by Bree Fesh in Blog Life

Hi everyone! I have some very exciting news for my readers. I'm sure if you follow me on Instagram you know that since October I've been using the service called Rocksbox. Well after a few months of testing them out and loving them (Seriously there has yet to be a box I haven't purchased something out of!) I've had the opportunity to become a Rocksbox "It Girl" and they have agreed to sponsor me! Meaning I now have a promo code I can give to all of you so you can try them and have your first whole month free. That's right, FREE. But before I get to the goodies, first I want to tell you a bit about Rocksbox!

So, what is Rocksbox?

Rocksbox is an awesome online jewelry rental service as well as shop. Basically all you need to do is sign up and for $21/month you receive unlimited jewelry on loan, but if you love a piece you receive, you can purchase it on Rocksbox or simply just not send it back with the rest of your set! Also, if you're worried about pesky mail service fees, don't be because Rocksbox has you covered! When they send your package they also include a return shipping label and reusable padded envelope, making it hassle as well as charge free to mail back. All you gotta do is drop it in your local mailbox.

How does it work?

The first thing you will do when you sign up is take the Rocksbox style survey so your stylist can be sure to give you pieces you'll love. Then you just simply add some pieces to your "Wish List" so your stylist has a good starting point to choose from.

Yay! If you've made it to this step it means your first Rocksbox set is on it's way! Once you receive it you can wear it as much and for as long as you want.

Ready for something new? Just send it back and get your next 3 pieces! Love a piece or two? Just don't return them in your box.

The Perks In A Nutshell:

$21/Month for unlimited jewelry rental
- Borrow 3 pieces at a time and swap them whenever you want!
$21 Monthly Shine Spend
- Love a piece? Rocksbox gives you $21 a month to go towards any purchase you'd like to make.
No Commitment
- Free, prepaid shipping both ways. You can also stop your subscription anytime you want!

Now about that Promo Code!

Since Blair over at Rocksbox was kind enough to think I'd be a good fit as a #RBItGirl, I now have a promo code that all of my readers are welcomed (and encouraged!) to use in order to get their first month subscription of Rocksbox completely free. This means unlimited usage for a whole month. Now that's a lot of sparkle!

All you need to do is use the code "starkravingchicxoxo" when you sign up and there you have it! One free month of designer jewelry. (Note: Rocksbox will charge your account $25 at this time just to validate your subscription, but that charge will be voided immediately after, so no worries!) Then if you love Rocksbox as much as I do, you can keep it for $21/month. Not a fan? You can cancel your subscription anytime!

Get your first set using my code? Tag me on Instagram @StarkRavingChic with a snap of your set or tweet me at @StarkRavingChic!

Again, to get your first month of Rocksbox free use the code: starkravingchicxoxo

Treat yourself dolls!

Versatile Blogger Award

June 19, 2015 by Bree Fesh in Blog Life

Hi everyone and happy Friday!

I want to start off by saying that I am absolutely thrilled to have been nominated for another award! A big thank you to Zel Black for awarding me with The Versatile Blogger Award! (If anyone knows this blogger please send me her link because in the email I received with my nomination did not list her blog, so I'd just really love to be able to post it here and of course check out her stuff.)

So what is The Versatile Blogger Award? This award, much as the name suggests is given to bloggers who are versatile in their writing, so when awarding someone with this you should always consider the quality of writing, the uniqueness and versatility of the subjects covered, the amount of what I like to call "personality" in the writing on the blog, and of course the quality of pictures. Needles to say, I am very honored to have been nominated/awarded and to have my blog thought of in this way, so again thank you so much, Zel!

RULES:

The rules to this award are simple:

Thank the person who nominated you.
If you are provided with a link to their blog, place it with in the post.
Pick 15 excellent blogs that you follow and nominated them.
Let the nominees know that they are nominated.
Post 7 facts about yourself.

Sweet, right?

Seven Facts About Me

1. My favorite color is neon orange and honestly for the strangest reason: while growing up as a child in South Western Pennsylvania, I can remember always liking the large orange construction barrels peeking out of the snow I always thought they gave our dull, grey, and long winters some color. Now my feelings towards them are much different, considering they generally mean loads of delays, however the fondness of the color still remains til this day.

2. I am pretty much addicted to caffeine. From my beloved venti iced Americano, to zen tea, even extending to diet coke. Very rarely will you spot me without one of three.

3. I am ambidextrous.

4. I love cooking! My favorite dish to make is chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes. (I make a mean salmon Alfredo as well!)

5. I prefer books to movies because I like to envision the character's and scenery myself rather than having an actor, actress, or dictate what they look like. I have a crazy active imagination and I feel this helps me exercise it.

6. I am a Fannibal, as well as part of the GoT, AHS, and OITNB Fandoms, I also love Archer, Bob's Burgers, South Park (Butters being my favorite character), and [old] Spongebob.

7. About 3/4 of my body is covered in tattoos.

My Nominees:

Thanks for reading! I appreciate all my readers, you're the best!

Xx, Bree

Liebster Award!

June 06, 2015 by Bree Fesh in Blog Life

Wow! I have to say this morning was pretty exciting for me considering I woke to an email from Gaby nominating me for this pretty sweet award. So firstly, I'd like to say thank you to her for making my day!

So to my other readers, what is the Liebster Award you ask? Well it is this nifty little award among the blogging community specifically for new bloggers to get to know one another and network. I'm going to be honest I'm not totally sure the followers criteria because some places say under 200 followers and others say under 1,000 followers, so I just split the diff and when I chose my nominees their blogs had under 700 followers. (Note: the links to blogs I chose are the the end of the post, check 'em out, since I like them I bet you will too!). This being said, lets carry on shall we?

RULES, RULES, RULES:

1. First write a post about you having been nominated for the award. Then in that post mention the person who nominated you along with a link to his/her blog.

2. List 11 facts about yourself. (This part is optional but come on, you know you want to!)

3. There will be 11 questions from the person that nominated you, go ahead and answer them.

4. Nominate 5-11 other new blogs for this award, rule of thumb is if they have under 200 followers, but as I stated above some say as many as 1,000. So take your pick!

5. Make up 11 questions that you would be curious for your nominees to answer.

6. Lastly let your nominees know that you have nominated them and provide them with a link back to your page to ensure they are familiar with the award. Display the award in your post and/or sidebar.

11 Facts About Me:

I am 22 years old.
I have a Bachelors Degree in photography and work as a photographer and photo-retoucher in the visual department at Dick's Sporting Goods.
I have a Maine coon cat named Lola, a Labrador retriever named Onyx, and a Husky/lab mix named Moe.
I am currently living in Pittsburgh (where I was born and raised!)
My drink (okay drinks) of choice are Cabernet or an absolutely filthy martini.
I am incredibly organized however I have a terrible habit of wanting to schedule 26 hours worth of stuff into one day, which really tends to stress me out.
I am an equestrian and though I still ride I no longer have my horse because he sadly passed away while I was in my senior year of high school, however it is a dream of my to have a horse of my own again.
I color my hair a lot, it seriously has been every color but green! To be honest with you, I have no idea how it's still as healthy as it is.
I have very strong feelings towards Starbucks and coffee in general. It's a necessity.
I have a bookshelf full of very old classics. Those are my favorites because nothing smells better than an old book. (Go ahead judge me!)
My favorite thing to do is just get in my car and drive. Random adventures are the best!

Questions I was asked by Gaby

What is your favorite book or movie and why? My favorite book is Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk. The main reason why I love this books is because though it's super twisted, I feel the whole message is self-acceptance, which is a very important thing. Also the ending will floor you it's that good! And just so you know my favorite movie is Little Miss Sunshine, much for the same reason.
If you could be any celebrity for a day who would you be? Mick Jagger.
What is one thing you love about yourself? I love the fact that I am very determined and driven but also very bubbly and spontaneous. It's a weird combo but it's who I am.
What makes you happy? COFFEE! *laughs* but in all seriousness what brings me the most joy is making others happy and giving to others. I love helping people and to see someone smile because of something I did, well that's just the best.
Are you outgoing or shy? I am ridiculously outgoing. Most would consider me a bit of a wild child.
Have you ever been in love, tell us about it :) I like to think I have been however I feel it was more infatuation than anything. I've had my heart broken, but I'm back together now and ready to find someone.
What do you like to do for fun? My idea of a good time is just kickin' it around the city with my friends or going hiking. I also love just vegging out with a good book or watching Netflix with Lola.
What is you favorite place to shop? Oh man this is a tough one. If I had to choose one place I would have to say Banana Republic, I just love their clothing style some of their dresses are just so cute an retro! However I also buy a bunch from Ann Taylor, Forever21, J. Crew, Marshalls, Tradesy, and on occasion I hit the thrift stores.
If you could tell your younger self anything, what would you tell them? Stop worrying so much about the bullshit people shove your way. You're going to grow up and be just fine and these people that are trying to tell you otherwise are just envious. Just do you.
What is one dream you have? Moving to New York City or Los Angeles, persuing my dream and becoming a fashion writer & photographer. (Though interning at Rolling Stone would be pretty rad too.)
What is one of your pet peeves? I absolutely cannot stand when people cut me off in conversation, like if you're not a mind reader please let me finish my thoughts. Like most I am just annoyed by rudeness in general.

Questions I would like to ask my nominees:

1. How long have you had your blog and what or who inspired you to be a blogger?
2. If you could be any animal which on would you be and why?
3. Do you have any hidden talents?
4. Do you have a nickname? What is it?
