Summer is HERE and the hot temperatures are nearly killing me! Thank the dear sweet Lord above for cute skirts, lightweight fabrics, and cute sandals from my favorite brands. The following pieces are a few essentials I have in my summer wardrobe and highly recommend because not only are they adorable but are high quality as well!​

I am also loving EVERYTHING at Beehive Boutique (like this yellow ruffle scrunch top) in Westlake right now. From the mustard yellows to rich reds and palm prints, I can’t get enough of the retro-chic style they’re curating in-store. 

I'm looking forward to a fun summer filled with long evenings outside with friends at events around Austin, weekends by the pool, and visiting family out of state. What is everyone else up to this summer?

Glitzy New Year's Eve Outfits + Accessories for Every Style

We're a few days away from the most glitzy and glamorous night of the year—New Year's Eve! I always feel like stepping out onto the town on New Year's Eve is like stepping onto the catwalk (but with more booze and less paparazzi.) I've selected a few of my favorite pieces for New Year's Eve this year, with a few words on how to style them below. Most of them are on sale, so order now or stop by a Nordstrom to find them before the weekend gets here!

Since the clock counting down to midnight on New Year's Eve is already ticking, learn more about how you can order online and pick up in store at Nordstrom here. 

New Year's Eve is one of my favorite nights of the year, and I especially love looking at everyone's outfits on Instagram the next day. You won't want to miss what I'm wearing this year! Be sure to follow Miss Madds on Instagram so you can keep up with what I'm doing to celebrate. 

My First Month Using Le Tote Clothing Subscription

I always thought that clothing subscription boxes were for moms. Mainly because my mom has a subscription to StitchFix and I just always thought these things were for busy ladies who were trying to deal with their kids' BS, their pets' BS, and their husband's BS. But then I tried a subscription to Le Tote... And I have finally seen the light.

Guys! What have I been doing all my life? This box is amazing.

Reasons Le Tote stands out: 

- You can keep and wear the clothes until you're tired of them

- You can purchase singular items from the box (with up to 50% discount on each)

- You can preview your box and switch items out if you don't like what they pick

How it works:

You basically go online, create an account, and do a short quiz to help them get a feel for your style. They ask you about what kinds of tops, coats, sweaters, pants, skirts, and dresses you like to wear, and assemble your first box within a few minutes so you can see what you're going to be getting before it comes. I LOVED this aspect of Le Tote, because I am a control freak! I actually didn't love the products they picked, so I kind of did my own thang and I could NOT have been happier with what I got. 

When you get the box in the mail, you can keep the clothes and wear them as long as you want. Just be sure to keep them in great condition (or purchase clothing insurance if you're accident-prone!) After you wear your clothes a few times, you can return them using the pre-labeled packaging included with the tote. Or, you can keep the items you love and Le Tote will charge your card the discounted price for each piece. It's up to 50% off the regular retail price! 

You can rate your box piece by piece and let the stylists know if there was any issue with the overall style, fit, material, or color. 

See what was in my tote: 

Pricing: 

$59/Month. If you purchase every item from a tote, however, you will get a month free! Great deal if you are the kind of person who spends $60+ on clothes each month anyway. And a great way to online shop with the ability to get up to 50% off of pieces and return them easily (they give you a mailer you can send unwanted items back in!) 

Le Tote is totally #MaddyApproved! Can't wait to keep trying out new services and products to share with you guys. Have you used a subscription box for clothing? Which is your favorite? Comment below and let me know!
