The Fashion Lens…Returns!

Hello, all! After an unexpectedly long break, I am rebooting The Fashion Lens! I’ve spent time with my family and friends, celebrated a birthday, finished a semester of school, worked on a few projects, and checked off many things on my seemingly never-ending to-do list. I’m well-rested, a few pounds lighter, and looking to get The Fashion Lens back to 100%.

Let me (re)introduce myself. My name is Alyssa and I’m a budget-conscious fashion and beauty bloggers. This is me in the Bishop Arts District in Dallas, TX yesterday…

The Fashion Lens

Comment below and introduce yourself, too! What are you up to this summer?

Best. Dessert. Ever……..

Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies

Thank you, Pepperidge Farm!

That’s what I tweeted that started this awesome journey. A couple nights after that tweet, I received an overnighted package with 24 bags of Milano cookies! I guess they like me :-) Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies A little more than a week later and I’m happy to say that many of my closet friends and family are also proud owners of Milano cookies (because, of course, I’m not going to eat ALL of them!). I just wanted to say a huge “thank you” again to Pepperidge Farm! And, readers, I know you’re hungry now –score a bag online from Amazon.com The opinions are 100% my own. I received a box of cookies…but I was a huge fan already.

Heart On for Harper’s Bazaar and Swarovski

Swarovski Heart Charm from Harpers Bazaar “Um, did you order something?” my husband says last night. “No. I don’t think so…” I reply, racking my brain to try to remember if I had ordered anything online. “Nope. I’m sure,” I say confidently. “Then what’s this?” “I don’t know.” *Frantically opens package.* “Wheeeeeee!” I squeal in delight. It’s a little blue box with Swarovski in silver lettering and the swan is unmistakable. That’s the scene from last night’s dinner table while my husband and I opened our mail. Accompanying the little blue box is a note saying that I received my gift because on I’m on the Reader Panel of Harper’s Bazaar. Inside the little box is a crystal heart trinket! I consider it my valentine from Harper’s Bazaar magazine and Swarovski. Thank you!! :-) Swarovski Heart Charm from Harpers Bazaar Swarovski Heart Charm from Harpers Bazaar
