What: Rocksbox jewelry subscription
Why: The market is ridiculously cluttered with monthly subscription boxes for pretty much anything imaginable. However, Rocksbox leads the way with affordable, statement making accessories for less than $20/month. It's the Netflix of jewelry!
The company let me try the subscription service free of charge for three months and it did not disappoint. Keep reading for my review {the good and bad!} and how you can get a free month's subscription.

Last year a reader introduced me to the 15 Dollar Store. Yup, that's the name of the store and yes, all apparel and accessories are just $15. Though I love a great deal, I value quality more than anything. So when the people at15 Dollar Store presented me with the opportunity to review one of their items, I jumped at the chance.Since I'm obsessed with chunky, men's inspired watches, I decided to review the Geneva crystal and mother of pearl link watch in rose gold. It kind of reminds me of Michael Kors watches, which cost hundreds of dollars, but this one was a fraction of the cost.

I’m a sucker for bright, bold accessories so I was delighted when the owner of My Roommates Kloset contacted me about checking out some of their pieces.Started in 2009 by Quenesha Lennon, the accessories currently range from $1-$4. Yup, they cost less than your daily latte. “I constantly found myself looking for sassy, reasonably priced earrings and accessories to compliment the look I was trying to achieve,” says Lennon. “ Trends change and I thought it was important to have items that would keep me up to date but not break the bank.And as for the name, My Roommates Kloset, “I got the name from a roommate that I had in college. She and I were always borrowing each other’s clothes and accessories. When people would ask us where we got it from, we would say “my roomamte’s closet," as if it were some sort of chic boutique.” So cute!I received a few pieces from My Roommates Kloset and I absolutely loved some of them and I was kinda "eh" about others. Here’s what I thought:

Last week I received something pretty awesome in the mail: Sephora Chic Prints for Nails. I ordered them on Tuesday and by Thursday they were in my hands.If you're not familiar with Chic Prints, they're Sephora's new nail decals that come in funky prints and patterns. You simply peel them off and apply over your nails. They're the frugal gal's version of Minx. And Minx actually has a hand in creating Chic Prints.At $15 per pack, you get 16 press-ons of varying sizes. And they come in eight different patterns (checkers, tiger, skulls, etc), so it was a no brainer for me to try them.

Though I loved the initial outcome, I had one major gripe...Click more to see the pros and cons of Chic Prints.
