The four items in our first The Mr. Collection men’s clothing subscription box.
We’ve all had occasions when you walk into your closet and feel like there’s “nothing” to wear. Lately, Brandon has had a growing number of those days, yet he doesn’t have time to shop at the mall (and I’m not the greatest about ordering online for him!) so I decided to introduce him to The Mr. & Ms. Collection!
Last month I shared my first box from The Ms. Collection, a personal styling women’s clothing subscription service that helps you create a rotating wardrobe with fresh pieces that you can wear several times before sending back — or purchase what you love for a discounted rate! When The Mr. Collection asked Brandon to give the service a try, he jumped at the chance.
SIGNING UP
Signing up is easy and the on-boarding process is simple. Brandon answered a handful of questions about his style, likes / dislikes, preferred colors, etc. Then the personal stylist goes to work — while Brandon got back to business!
There are a couple of membership options to choose from, ranging from $59 – $89 per month:

THE BOX
Brandon received four great pieces that were perfect for work AND weekend wear. He usually defaults to a button-down shirt or henley each day, and that’s exactly what The Mr. Collection delivered!
Great button-down, just a little too big
Brandon’s Fav: A Basic Henley
Loved the shirt, but too tight in the shoulders
This was a favorite, just too tight.
Brandon loved the concept — he only needed to spend a few minutes on the survey, and after that, there was no effort required until he tried on the clothes! Because he’s a tall guy with broad shoulders and a long waist, he often struggles with finding the perfect fit. We were able to submit the sizing feedback through his member account so they can make adjustments for the next pack. We feel confident that his next pack will be spot on, and can’t wait to see what the stylists at The Mr. Collection come up with next!
MY BOX I received my second box from The Ms. Collection which was also filled with great pieces that easily paired with other items I already had in my wardrobe — I even had the perfect merlot heels to pair with that beautiful leather skirt! Here are a few pics:
Loved these four pieces — the leather skirt was definitely my favorite!
Blush cardigan is perfect for year-round wear!
This blue dress is great for the office or church!
Loved the quality of this leather skirt!
Stunning floral blouse to dress up or down!

This top is one of my favorites for spring (and great for year-round wear!) and it’s just $30 during the sale!
I’ve been a Loft fan for years and each season their pieces (and their sales) keep getting better! Whether you’re looking for a little wardrobe refresh or ready to stock up on basics, I’ve rounded up the best of this sale with items that you’ll love! Scroll through the photos below (click right to see all the items) to see my favorite picks from the sale and see what else you discover.
Wearing a little pink jumpsuit for a night on the town to celebrate my birthday!
Jumpsuits are such a great way to transition into spring — and this neon pink number was a head-turner! Jumpsuits are so easy to style because 1) you only have to put on one item of clothing instead of matching a top & bottom, and 2) you aren’t showing too much skin, because your legs are covered up.
Since pink is one of the top colors for spring, I’ve rounded up 20 pink jumpsuits (plus accessories to match this look) to recreate this look for yourself. Some of my picks are as low as $30, so get ready to treat yourself to a touch of spring fashion! Scroll through the items below (some of them come in several colors) and let the fun begin:
Raising a glass (the honey gin & tonic at BCN in Houston) to celebrate my birthday!
Cheers to you & let me know if you have any questions!
What a fun outfit! Each piece from my The Ms. Collection box was unique and memorable.
Maintaining a fun and interesting wardrobe is tough, especially when you don’t have time to spend at the mall or even shopping online. But a growing number of subscription boxes are aiming to make it easier, so you can constantly bring new pieces into rotation. That’s where The Ms. Collection (and The Mr. Collection) comes in! The company asked me to give its service a shot and I’m excited to share my experience with you!
The Mr. & Ms. Collection offers a unique take on the clothing rental subscription concept: you can either wear the items provided in your box for your subscription’s designated time period OR if you’ve really fallen in love with a piece, you can purchase it at a well-below retail price!

The four pieces I received in my box — a blazer, sweater, blouse, and skirt.
MY FIRST BOX
I was impressed with the awesome variety of the four pieces in my box. In my experience with other subscription services it often takes a few times to figure out sizing or taste, but The Ms. Collection nailed it on the first try. The pieces are meant to seamlessly integrate into your wardrobe, and they definitely did!
JOA Burnt Orange Blazer
1.STATE White Cold-Shoulder Ribbed Sweater
BB Dakota Striped Wrap Blouse
Vince Camuto Red Ruffle Skirt
I felt ready to salsa in this hot number — the top and the skirt are both from The Ms. Collection box!
For my first look, I paired the skirt and sweater together — certainly a perfect look for Valentine’s or Christmas. But this sassy skirt is one that would also make a statement any day of the year!
Loving the cut and the quality of this blouse!
Next I tried on the BB Dakota wrap top. Most wrap tops can fit a little funky on my chest and shoulders, but this one was PERFECT. I added white cropped jeans and some grey sneakers to create a transitional spring look, but this top would just as easily pair well with shorts or dark denim.
Tossing the JOA blazer over the BB Dakota wrap top from my box.
Just for fun I put on the blazer, and even though it didn’t necessarily match any of the colors in my blouse, it still looked great! The one-button design of the blazer made it chic, effortless, and elevated my casual look. I also put the blazer over a basic white tee and dark denim, and in my opinion, nailed that look too!
MY THOUGHTS
The Ms. Collection is a great concept — especially if you’re looking for some variety in your wardrobe and pressed for time! To be able to use four pieces of clothes (with a retail value over $300) during the month for $69 and then send them back makes such great sense. I’m impressed with the brands selected for me and even more pleased with the way that each item fit. I can’t wait to give The Mr. Collection a try too — I know that Brandon will love having new clothes without needing to go shopping!

This calendar allows your loved one to see one special photo every day of the year, and I think reminding yourself about all the fun and adventures you’ve had together is one of the most special ways to show someone you care.

This is a DIY gift that is incredibly thoughtful, and will leave a lasting impression all year round.
I found this Etsy company who help you creates these beautiful jars filled with 365 love notes to your partner. You just purchase the template online, then customize the text (or go with the template’s suggestion) — it’s totally up to you.
Print out the notes, roll them up, stick them in a cute jar, and viola! A gift that looks like you spent ages working on it.
If you’ve ever sent flowers from one of those pricey online florists only to see the flowers die three days later — please don’t make that mistake again!
This is THE ultimate luxury gift for the man or woman in your life who has stood the test of time, because these roses will stand the test of time too! They’re guaranteed to last a year, but in my experience they last so much longer!
I sent an Inflorascent arrangement to my husband in Nov. 2017 (red roses) and he sent me these (multi-colored roses) last Valentine’s Day. They still look BRAND NEW. They even smell amazing after a year!
This size is $250 for 16 roses (and some chocolates) — but consider yourself relieved of buying flowers for a very, very long time because these will easily be the center of attention in your house — and all of your guests will be asking “wait are those real? how do they do that?” Yes, they are 100% real — no watering or special treatment required!
SLIP – Silk Pillowcase You or your loved one will sleep better tonight with a silk pillowcase, I promise! I’ve had one of these for a year and LOVE it. It’s better for your skin and hair than cotton pillowcases, and the silk stays cooler too.
THISWORKS – Deep Sleep Pillow Spray Create a sleeping package gift with some of this incredible spray and thank me later! Lavender and Chamomile create a relaxing, subtle scent that aims to help you fall asleep relax and sleep longer.
I’m not sure if it’s truly helped me sleep better, but it definitely makes me feel more relaxed when I lay down after a couple spritzes!
This is such a fun treat for yourself, a friend, or a loved one! I’ve taken this class taught by Rebecca Adler and it is so much fun! It’s held at Central Market on Westheimer here in Houston.
