Spend More Save More Shopbop Sale

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Another day, another sale, but this time around we’re talking about the Shopbop sale! What I love about this sale is that the more you spend the more you save. And if you’re having trouble filling your cart, I got you!

Not only do I have and rock multiple pieces that are currently available during the Shopbop sale from my favorite brands like Pistola Denim and Kule, but I’ve also linked some that I have on my want list. That said, I was a little (fashionably?) late to the party with this one and the sale ends tomorrow, so if you like what you see you’re going to want to shop now!

I won’t do a deep dive into my picks, so you have more time to shop the Shopbop sale for yourself. However, I do want to share a few notes with you.

  1. Aknvas is a brand I discovered years ago at NYFW. Their pieces make bold statements … I have their Fausti Fringe Sweater already, but want their Pearl Cotton Ruffle Top.
  2. I’m really on a big Citizens of Humanities jeans kick right now! I especially love their Horseshoe Jeans and also have their Delena Cargo Pants.
  3. This week I’ll be LA bound and will be packing several items I’ve linked. From my Tkees flip flops to my Aire sunglasses, I am west coast ready.

So far this year I haven’t done a ton of shopping, but as you can see the Shopbop sale is going to change that! Is there anything your closet is in need of? If so, I’ve sure you can find just what you’re looking for at Shopbop, just make sure you don’t miss out on the spend more save more sale before it ends tomorrow. And don’t forget to use the code ‘STYLE’ and save up to 25% off!

Happy Sephora Sale!

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

We love a sale! Especially a Sephora sale. And in case you weren’t already aware, the Sephora Savings Event is happening right now. If you need to replenish anything in your makeup bag or you’ve had your eye on something pricey (like the Dyson Airwrap), trust me you’re going to want to shop this sale before it ends April 15th.

Not sure what to shop? Let me help you!

Here are 5 of my top picks to shop from the Sephora Savings Event along with my reasons as to why.

  1. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
    • Even though it is an over $50 foundation, it is by far the best quality one that I’ve tried so far. Not only was my shade match flawless, which may sound trivial but is huge for darker skin tones, especial when it comes to non-Black owned beauty brands. I also get the most compliments on my complexion when I use this foundation specifically. But yeah, I waited for this sale to restock this, doing to most to get every last drop out of my previous one.
  2. NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer
    • I’ve been know to swap out makeup products often, over having a set of tried and true favorites. However, this is the one and only concealer I have ever (and probably will ever) made sure to always have in my makeup bag. And when I don’t use it I feel like my whole face beat is just off. I also have the liquid version, but it just isn’t the same in my opinion.
  3. Grande Cosmetics Brow Styling Gel
    • Anastasia Beverly Hills brow freeze styling wax was my longstanding favorite. I’ve also tried their newer brow freeze gel, which I don’t hate. Now, while I still like and use them both of them, the Grande Cosmetics one gives is just so much for forgiving. Whereas with the Anastasia product, I feel like I have about .5 seconds to do my brows, or forget it.
  4. Benefit Cosmetics Precisely, My Brow Detailer
    • Speaking of brows, this new brow pencil is it! It gives the precision of a liquid pen (think liquid eyeliner), but the look and feel of a pencil. I’ve been absolutely loving it, and haven’t shut up about it on Instagram.
  5. Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzer
    • This is another Benefit favorite. I love a product that can do the job of more. I use this to contour my face and as an eyeshadow. Another product that you’re likely to always find in my makeup bag.

If you are shopping the Sephora sale, what’s in your cart? Here are more of my top picks, including what I’ve been loving lately and some new products that I’m trying out!

My 2023 Revolve Purchases

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Love them or hate them, Revolve carries high quality products from some of my favorite brands to shop. This year I made a total of 26 Revolve purchases, which was less than the 28 purchases I made last year.

If you follow me on Instagram or TikTok, you’re sure to have seen many of these purchases, like the top seen below (from this set) styled with jeans.

One of my 2023 Revolve Purchases

Here are all of my Revolve purchases from this year, including similar products for the items that are low in stock, or no longer available.

While I’m not planning to spend very much in the upcoming year, there are already a few things on my Revolve wishlist that I have my heart set on. One of which is this retrofete dress, that is admittedly a bit of a splurge and I don’t exactly have anywhere to wear it. Another being theses horseshoe jeans, that I can’t seem to stop thinking about.

Should I also share my current Revolve wishlist? If you think so, please let me know in the comments! I’d also love to know what Revolve purchases, if any, you’ve made this year.

Anine Bing Officially Open on Newbury Street in Boston Massachusetts

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

If you’ve been following Twenty Something Plus here or on Instagram for a while, then it’s really should come as no surprise just how I excited I was to learn the Anine Bing was coming to Boston.

As someone who started blogging in 2014, Anine Bing is someone that I’ve followed for a very long time. Watching her go from OG fashion blogger to iconic fashion designer has been the most inspirational.

Anine Bing Store Newbury Street Location

I still have and wear all of the pieces I’ve purchased from her brand over the years. Most of which are trendy but classic graphic t-shirts and sweatshirts. I also have a striped long sleeve tee, a couple of tanks and a longline lace bralette.

Getting invited to check out the new store on Newbury Street and select a couple of pieces was a dream come true. I made sure to try on the current top quality pieces that the brand is now also known for.

Anine Bing Everyday Wardrobe Essentials

There isn’t a single thing that I tried on and didn’t immediately want to take home. I’ll be sharing some try-on video content on my Instagram, so if you’re interested in seeing how they fit, make sure to give them a view here.

If you’re in Boston, I can’t recommend giving Anine Bing a visit enough! And if you haven’t shopped on Newbury Street in a while, there’s other stores you should stop in as well. Including Sézane, which popped up this summer.

Fall Fashion Trends with Neiman Marcus

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

This most recent New York Fashion Week was truly one for the books. From the runway shows to the street style, I couldn’t have been more enthralled to see this season’s hottest styles!

Here are four fall fashion trends as predicted by Neiman Marcus, and spotted at NYFW by yours truly.

Red Hot

There’s no question that red is the color of the season. Whether you go with an all out monochromatic look, or just a pop of this bright hue, if you don’t have any of it in your closet currently, you’ll want to consider giving it a go!

Quite Luxury

Sophia Richie made rich girl chic a total vibe, and honestly this trend is one I absolutely ship. You don’t have to spend a ton to look expensive, just style chic basic pieces together in an effortless way.

Mini Skirts

Mini skirts are one trend from the 90s that I didn’t think I’d love a comeback from as much as I do. The shorter the better, we love a micro mini! In my opinion, this trend is the most versitile, seeing as how you can go grunge with a pair of lug boots and an oversized sweater, or preppy like I did here.

Fall Florals

Florals for fall may not be quite as common as for spring, but a dark floral dress gives autumn vibes in a way that nothing else can.

September Luxury Beauty Favorites

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Lately I haven’t been using as many new to me products as I have in the past. This is likely in part due to skin issues I’ve experienced. But also from just having a pretty good idea of which products work best for me.

However, I have tried a few products that have quickly become new beauty favorites of mine.

One such product is the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. What I like most about it is that in addition to being an effective moisturizer, it doubles as a makeup primer. Which is ideal for the days that don’t require a full glam face beat (so most days).

Another is the new Prada Beauty Paradoxe Intense Eau de Parfum. This I discovered at their NYFW pop-up and now keep a sample in my bag.

The same goes for my Tatcha The Kissu Lip Mask, it’s always in my bag. I love it so much that I need to also try it in their new limited edition tint.

Not in my bag, but something I’ve been using religiously since I got it, is Manucurist. I love doing my own nails, but giving them a break has been tough. Their Green Flash system was the perfect solution!

Speaking of solutions, makeup removal can be a nightmare. Especially when you’re tired. The Elemis Cleaning Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is my current go-to and a crucial part of my nighttime skincare routine.

Serums aren’t something I really believed I needed. Now I love one that really nourishes my skin, and Sulwhasoo makes my favorite, now with ginseng.

If you haven’t heard of ShopMy and you create content, you should consider joining. Most of the products I’ve mentioned were gifted to me through the ShopMy platform. If you join using my referral link, then we’d both earn an additional 10% bonus on all earnings for 6 months.

Linen Outfits for Spring

Linen season is finally here in New England, and the girls are ready to get their coastal chic style on! I love linen outfits and recently discovered a new brand, Grae Cove, that specializes in quality, sustainable linen pieces.

Linen outfits dress

Their linen dresses are a warm weather daydream, and I’ll be wearing the Blair Linen Button-Front Maxi Dress throughout the season.

While more sought after for their best-selling dresses, I’m even more impressed with their Sloan Linen Pleated Elastic Wide Leg Pants. They are the perfect pants to pack for your next weekend getaway.

I’ve styled them here with The Boyfriend 100% Linen Dress Shirt, but they’d go great with a cozy knit. I’m looking forward to styling them over and over again. With a cozy knit, or with a cute tank top… You name it and you’ll probably be seeing me wearing it with these pants!

Additionally, I’m partnering with Grae Cove to share an exclusive discount code! Use my code bethany20 for 20% discount.

The 5 Best Belt Bags and Fanny Packs of 2023

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Like any other fashion trend handbag trends will for sure come and go. I often reach for bags that are more functional and practical, over the latest most popular ones. That said, belt bags (or fanny packs) are now back in a big way!

1. Louis Vuitton Monogram Bumbag

There’s a reason you see this bag on everyone from celebrities to street style fashionistas, and why it sells out so quickly after it’s back in stock. If you’re looking for a designer everyday handbag, I can’t recommend the Louis Vuitton Monogram Bumbag enough! Shop it secondhand via Fashionphile.

2. Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag

I almost hate how much everyone everywhere loves this bag. But I cant, because I absolutely get it. The Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag is the perfect on the go bag for when all you really need are the basic essentials.

3. MZ Wallace Metro Sling Bag

I don’t personally own this one (yet), but I do love my MZ Wallace tote and how much it holds so when I saw it on Ashley of Everyday Pursuits’ Instagram, I immediately added it to my wishlist, same color and all. Whether you’re a mom or not, if you have a lot of stuff, the MZ Wallace Metro Sling Bag is for you.

CALPAK Luka everyday Belt Bag with puffy exterior in pink

4. Calpak Luka Belt Bag

This is another belt bag on my radar thanks to Instagram. I use the Calpak packing cubes when I travel and their Luka Belt Bag looks perfect to add to my travel essentials.

5. Dagne Dover Ace Fanny Pack

The Dagne Dover Ace Fanny is my favorite of these belt bags picks for the minimalist. It comes in 6 different core colors, and has enough pockets to stay organized.

Are you here for the return of the fanny pack trend? Which belt bag best suits you? Let me know in the comments!
