Skylar Scent Club Review

One areas of my non-toxic and natural beauty journey that has fortunately been an easy transition is in the fragrance department. Fragrance in the beauty industry is considered proprietary property and therefore does not have to be disclosed. However, traditional fragrances are compiled of all types of chemicals. I'm a firm believer that our skin should be treated as an organ and what goes on it will go into it. So the second I smelled Skylar's perfumes, I was instantly hooked knowing they are clean. They're hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and cruelty-free. Recently, they introduced their monthly Scent Club. I should also note that I am not sponsored by them and genuinely want to share my thoughts. Their Scent Club is $20 a month that gives you a roller ball size fragrance that is only available for the month.

After much debate of joining, I caved at the last day it was available in their first month (that was April). I have been a member for four months now and do enjoy the surprise factor, the cute packaging, and having another clean fragrance. If you have ever priced non-toxic fragrance, you would realize how affordable this is. The Scent Club offers more accessibility to more people that might not be able to buy (or risk) a perfume at $100+.

This month's scent is Salt Air. It's timely for the Summer season, which all scents have fit the season. It's one of two that have been my favorites. Each month comes with a bookmark, a box that explains the scent, and will tell you other Skylar fragrances to layer it with.

As a person who is particular on the types of scents I am drown to, this has pushed my scent collection to being open to other notes. And as someone who would not be ok with that, for $20 a month it's a price I'm willing to do. Both May and June were not my favorite and I haven't really worn. For now, I'm keeping those two for my gift stash. Overall, I know this is a subscription I enjoy receiving each month and look forward to.

Have you ever tried a scent subscription?

Madewell Try-On: Summer

yellow top // white skirt // black top // jumpsuit

UPDATE: Madewell is doing there BIG end of season sale! Sale on sale with an extra 30-50% off! Use code: SEEYA (many of these pieces are included!)

It's been a hot minute since my last Madewell try-on! I certainly am still a huge fan and am back with a look at some summer looks for you. Versatility has been key to my current looks and something I wanted to incorporate for you. While it's a few pieces, you'll see they can be styled in different ways. It's all about maximizing each piece. 

Denim Apron Bow-Back Jumpsuit $145  // Size 00 

While I do love jumpsuits, I had no intention of trying this on. Then, I put it on and was glad I gathered enough energy to do so. Let's be real-jumpsuits do take effort to try on. The fabric is light and the kind you want on hot summer days. I realize I didn't get a picture of the back, but it's cute. While you won't be able to wear a bra because of the back, it is an unexpected detail. I'm 5'3 or 5'4 and wearing the regular length of this. I would need to have it shortened or order the petite. I do think it runs a little large in the waist, which had me fitting into a size smaller. 

Texture & Thread Tie-Front Tank Top $55  (now $9.99) // Size XXS

One of my favorite tops have been from their Texture & Thread line, so naturally I had to try this on. I love the texture and stripes! It can easily work with your favorite jeans, but can go with a skirt (see below). It is cut in a boxy and shorter length, which you'll want to keep in mind if you have a long torso. Otherwise, my short torso gals will love this. It does come in black and white for a more minimal and cool French girl vibe. I do think it runs one size big.

Denim Convertible Top in Alberta Wash $68 (now $33) // Size XS

Denim is what Madewell does best and this top exceeded my expectations in person. It is a bit thicker and gives it more structure. The tie knot detail is meant to go in the back, but I always find that type of detail to be annoying when you have your back against a chair. And if you ask me moving it to the front looks cuter. The straps have hidden buttons so you are able to cross them or remove them. It is really roomy and I'm sure I could have gone a size smaller. It's a top I can see reaching for countless times because it can be styled so many ways. There is a white version, too. See how it looks with a denim skirt below.

Texture & Thread Tie-Shoulder Tank Top $45 $34.50 // Size XS

This tank comes in 2 other colors and a nice update to a tank for summer. I'm always up for adding cute basics. It is cut a little boxy and makes it run true to size. I thought I would need to size down, but was fine with my normal size. If you love the shoulder detail, you might also love this embroidered black top!

Hope this try on was helpful! Let me know what's your favorite piece!

Madewell Try-On: Spring Pt 2

Update: Madewell is having a sale on sale! Totally worth picking up a couple of pieces for an extra 30% off! This sweater top, mustard top, and floral top are from my last try-on and calling me!

There's one thing I look forward to each month--new arrivals from Madewell! This second addition to the Spring Collection is one to make room in that closet for. The florals, the chambray, the basics! It's all that Madewell does so well. Here are some of the pieces that caught my eye:

Silk Ruffle-Strap Cami Top in Confetti Floral // Size 00

 Well I knew I was loving this floral pattern when I say it online, but honestly didn't expect to love the black version. The second I saw it in person, I had to try it on. It is oversized in the body, so you can go with your smaller size or stick to your normal size for extra roomy look. I did think the arms felt a little small, so something to consider. The straps do have an adjustable ruffle, which is a nice touch. I can easily see this as a Spring/Summer favorite!

Ruffle-Strap Dress in Floral Confetti // Size 00

And naturally, I had to try the dress version on! This isn't silk, but really cute. Definitely made me think of the perfect Easter dress. This does run large. For anyone with a smaller bust, I would consider sizing down. I'm normally a size 2 in their dresses, but went with size 00. There isn't a snap at the bust, so I would need to put some fashion tape there. The other thing to note is the dress version is navy. It doesn't have the ability to adjust the ruffle in the strap just FYI.

Denim Ruffle-Strap Cami // Size 00

The warmer weather makes me drawn to some chambray! Plus, I loved the floral version. This one is a nice update for those chambray obsessed! It does have the same fit as the silk floral version, but found it to be enough room in the arm space. You can adjust the ruffle detail, too. Don't ask me to pick what version I love, but this one does scream cute Summer staple.

Texture & Thread Button-Front Tank Dress // Size XS

This was 100% passed by online. In person, totally an eye-catcher! It does come in cream and mustard, but had this olive color only. It has a nice texture to the fabric, which is what makes it so so good! The thicker fabric makes it easy to wear normal underwear without any visible lines. I wanted it to nicely glide my curves, but not hug them so I went with my bigger size. I'm sure I could size down, but then it would hug and not what I'm going for. This one is a keeper!

Embroidered Seamed Button-Down Shirt in Confetti Floral // Size XXS

It's that floral print again! Isn't it good? I'll pretend you said yes. The cut on this top felt very cool Parisian. It runs true to size, but for anyone with an actual bust you will need to size up. Even with the top not being fitted, there was that gapping happening. I guess it's flattering these A cups ;)

Hope you enjoyed this try-on! Let me know if you have any questions on sizing!
