Hey guys! Today was a good day. It's Saturday, November 22 - so imagine my unprecedented level of excitement when I randomly stepped outside and spotted a new fix sitting on my porch - something I wasn't anticipating for probably another week and a half. And let me tell you, I got Samara as my stylist again, and that girl is like my freaking spirit animal. She absolutely killed it again, and I currently want to be best friends with her. Just gonna go ahead and dive right in and share my thoughts on everything this month.

STREET LEVEL "WYNN STUDDEN CHEVRON FOLD OVER CLUTCH" $48

First up is this baller studded clutch from Street Level. This is my first bag from Stitch Fix, and I was a little nervous to get one since I can be pretty picky. But obviously Samara had my back - this is totally my style. It's simple, cute, easy to carry (but also has a cute chain strap in case I didn't feel like carrying), and has an assortment of compartments inside that are perfect and practical. STATUS: KEPT

SKIES ARE BLUE "MILLY GRAPHIC KNIT PULLOVER SWEATER" $58

Again, completely my style. Fitted, love the southwestern print. Can tell my pinterest profile was taken into consideration. More of a fall sweater than a winter sweater since it's a bit thinner, but can definitely see myself wearing this a decent amount. STATUS: KEPT

LEVEL 99 "LANI CROPPED SKINNY JEAN" $128

I'm wearing these in my other outfit pictures. Oh my. Why, oh why do these glorious bad boys have to be $128?? They fit awesome! All Stitch Fix jeans are somehow the most amazing heaven-sent things, I've already kept two pairs (from only 4 fixes) - I requested a pair of dark blue skinnies with a 26 or 27 inch inseam, and obviously my earth angel Samara delivered. But I cannot lie when I say I am completely torn on the price. STATUS: ON THE FENCE. PROBABLY WILL HAVE TO SEND BACK (WITH REGRET)

C.LUCE "PELLE SLEEVELESS PLEATED NECKLINE DRESS" $68

I requested a cute holiday dress, and while this wasn't something I was expecting... I absolutely love it! It's cute and different (and burgundy! Which I've consistently stated is a color I love to wear) and it's fully lined AND I cannot argue with the price! It'll be more flattering once I secure a button in the back (I was home alone when trying these on, and just.. couldn't reach it), but I just love it.

KUT FROM THE KLOTH "MICHAEL FAUX LEATHER JACKET" $78

Though I think it's cute, I have around 3 (faux) leather jackets already, and this one didn't "wow" me enough to justify keeping. STATUS: SENT BACK.

So that's it! I have to say, I've been loving this service more and more each month. Especially as I feel I have a stylist that "gets" me and even the stuff I don't end up keeping, I still have a fun time trying on! If you feel like giving Stitch Fix a shot, here's my my referral link, and let me know what you think! Thanks! XO, Alyssa

Hi all! I actually received my fix a few days ago, but with all the Halloween madness I hadn't had time to really try on each item and see what I wanted to keep. Now that I've had the chance, I can say this is the fix I've been waiting for. My stylist, Samara, absolutely slayed it this month! All of my requests were noted (I was more specific than ever this time, and had even requested a couple of specific pieces I had seen on their blog), my style profile was taken into account, and my wallet is so, so sad this month because this was also the priciest fix I've received so far. But with the sort of pieces I requested and subsequently received, it's kind of obvious why that was. Let's get to it!

Market and Spruce Chaplin Hooded Anorak Cargo Jacket $88

I had requested this specific item, and was thrilled to see it in my fix. And it's every bit as magical as I had anticipated. I had really wanted a cute anorak, and this one is perfect. Great length (an issue with longer jackets when you're 5'1), and perfect amount of fabric - I'm not swimming in it or anything. Plus it's cute as hell. Status: KEPT.

**Also please excuse the disheveled quality of the room in which I took these pictures. It's a spare bedroom that's basically our "dog's room" - and it's a total disgrace... and the only room in the house with a giant mirror that's good for outfit selfies...

Just Black Dean Ankle Zip Skinny Jean $78

I am actually wearing these jeans in all of the outfit pictures posted. Another request slam dunk. I had requested jeans with an inseam of 26 or 27 inches, because as previously stated, I'm damn short and I'm so tired of pants bunching around my ankles and having to either fold them up or under (even "ankle" jeans or "short" inseams I try on do this). And they're CUTE. And comfortable! Which is absolute key with me. They hit at the perfect length, and the zipper detail is incredible. Status: KEPT.

Pink Martini Franko Quilted Faux Leather Biker Vest $98

Do you see my dilemma? Every item so far has been dangerously close to $100. Eesh. I had requested a quilted vest, and felt incredibly uncertain when I pulled this one out. It seemed... loud. Like difficult to pull off, and I was somewhat relieved because I was like "this is good, you can send this back and save some money" - but then I started playing around with different ways to wear it and was like... DAMMIT. Maybe I'm too much right now, but I actually think it looks cute layered over a gray cardigan like this. Status: KEPT.

Peppercorn Hazel Metallic Striped Knit Top $48

These next 2 items I generally would have sent back, they're cute, but I don't NEED them - however, since Stitch Fix's policy is that if you buy all 5 items, you get 25% off - both of these items actually ended up being free. In fact, it was actually slightly cheaper to keep all 5 items than to return them. How nuts is that?? That being said, I do still like both of these items. The one con with this top is that it is a little itchy, but more on the outside.. will probably layer a top underneath this to prevent that from being an issue. There is also a chance I may just give this to a friend. It's basic and cute. Status: KEPT.

Market and Spruce Jeanne Space Dye Knit Tank $44

I like this item more than the last top. It's just a little bit more interesting than a basic tank, and you can easily dress it up or down. I also think it's pretty flattering. My one issue with it, is I had already see some threads popping out, which does bug me. If you're paying $44 for a tank top... I expect the quality to be much higher than that. But as you know, status: KEPT.

And there you have it! My first fix where I kept it all! The thing I loved most of all was exactly how much my stylist listened and took everything into consideration - I can tell random items aren't just being thrown together, there is actual careful thought being placed into it... and I love that. This is such a fun service! Anyone interested in signing up can click my referral link and do it up! XO, Alyssa

Hi all! Although in the past I've used this blog to talk about movies, music, and any sort of stupid thought or list that popped into my head - I haven't used it in a couple years, and nobody reads it anyway. This is actually my first ever subscription review, and we'll see how this goes, hm?

To anyone that doesn't know what Stitch Fix is. It's a subscription service - costs $20 a month, you fill out a style profile, and a stylist will send you various clothing/accessory items based off of that profile -- you even have the ability to connect with Pinterest to better give your stylist a better idea of the type of clothes you want to receive.

I signed up for Stitch Fix last month, so this is actually my second box. Last month was a little hit and miss, with sizing being a little bit of an issue (I found the blouses to run big, and in turn sized down for future fixes) - I ended up keeping one item, an incredibly expensive pair of black skinnies, which I could only justify after subtracting the $20 styling fee and the fact that they make my butt look good :P

This month I amped up the excitement, I had spent an embarrassing amount of time constructing a pinterest board of the sort of style I was looking for, was incredibly descriptive and vocal about what I wanted - I asked for a lot of layers, and an edgier sort of style. By the time I was ripping open my box, I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed! I'll take you through what I got, starting with the things that I liked:

Bay to Baubles "Taryn Geometric Station Necklace" $32

Last month Stitch Fix sent me a necklace I really liked, but I had to send it back because it was broken! This one is very similar to the House of Harlow station necklace that I already own, but dang it, I love necklaces in this sort of style. Have already worn it twice out, and know that I'll get a lot of uses out of it. I'm not a jewelry girl, but I definitely utilize necklaces as an easy way to jazz up an outfit. Totally my style. KEPT.

19 Cooper "Matisse Graphic Print Sheer Detail Blouse" $54

Fact: my dogs can and will photobomb every photo they possibly can. This one I really liked, but literally sat there mulling over whether I wanted to justify that price tag. Ultimately I decided yes for a few reasons: a) I love the black mesh on top, and have wanted a top with that detail for awhile. b) Material is SO silky. c) I really don't own enough tops that can be used in a "professional" setting, but are actually cute and that you'd want to wear in a casual setting as well. KEPT.

Now onto the items I had to send back...

41Hawthorn "Filbert 3/4 Sleeve Popover Blouse" $58

Excuse the heinousness of these photos. I'm out-of-control vogueing in the first one, and although I threw some messy eyeliner on for those photos, I am wearing no makeup on my face. Which as I am posting these pictures, I am regretting. This blouse is... fine. It's a basic black button up blouse. It fits pretty well, you can tell more in the second photo that the 3/4 sleeve have sort of a weird puff to them, but I'd be willing to overlook that. I couldn't keep this for multiple reasons: mainly the price. $58 for something so basic? Nope. Also dry clean only - way too much work for this girl. Lastly, but probably most importantly, there were loose threads coming out everywhere. That's a really bad sign for something you haven't worn yet, you can tell that even with that steep price tag, the quality isn't really there. SENT BACK.

41 Hawthorn "Joann Textured Knit Blazer" $74

This was the only item where I felt the stylist was really trying to listen to me (outside of maybe the necklace), and she was kind of on the right track, but it still didn't exactly click for me. When I pulled this out my reaction was literally "Yikes". Look at the texture in that second photo - the name is not joking at all. I definitely liked it more once I put it on. In its defense, I think it's a bit more flattering than I'm making it look in that awful mirror selfie. It has kind of a cool bomber fit to it, it's different, and while something I'd never pick out for myself, I did think it was pretty cool. I told my stylist I loved burgundy items (and jackets and blazers), so I really like that she listened to that. I did consider keeping, but I really had to ask myself, "Alyssa, be realistic. How often are you really going to wear this?" I mean enough for it to justify the price. Ultimately, I had to let it go. SENT BACK.

Sanctuary "Rizzo Houndstooth Print Skinny Ponte Pant" $54

Another item I pulled out and felt "Yikes" about. I claimed I wanted edgy, but I didn't mean this lol. I will say they were very comfortable, and again, made my butt look good! The length was too long, (sadly I'm 5'1 and this is the case with *everything*, I hate the way skinny jeans/pants bunch at the ankles, I always either have to fold up or tuck under) I felt that it made my knees look super weird(?), and the pattern was just too much for me. If a pant as the ability to make me look like I have a hologram (I felt like Ron Burgundy: "It's the pleats"), then I'm sadly gonna have to pass. Too bad too, because I think I'd really like other pants from this brand from the way they fit. And the price wasn't bad at all! I know most Stitch Fix jeans/pants are usually around the $100 range. SENT BACK.

So that's my first Stitch Fix review! Would love to know what you guys thought (on the offchance anyone is actually reading this), or some stuff you guys loved or didn't love about your fixes. Anyone interesting in signed up can click my referral link and do it up! XO Alyssa
