The other half of  Sweet Progress Box Swap is Ashley from Happy Pretty SWEET. Ashley is such a dear, I adore her! I’m happy to partner with her to spread blogger mailbox love every season. 🙂 And this season… this wonderful season we’re celebrating…


I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in LOVE WITH FALL AND I don’t care who knows it!!

But you know who knows it, Erika. Erika of Cat Eyes and Skinny Jeans, who has never ever met me in real life, she gets it. She knows my love for fall is deep and you know what she did, she showered me with fall mail. LIKE INSANELY AWESOME FALL MAIL!! But before I start gushing over how awesome my fall box is, let me tell you a little bit about Erika and her super cool blog. When I visit Erika’s blog I’m instantly inspired by her fashion and her impeccable nail polish skills!! I want to one day achieve fashion and good nails like Erika. Seriously, you have to check out her beautiful nails. Besides being super stylish, she’s super sweet, loves cats, and HAPPY MAIL!

My Sweet Progress Fall Box Reveal

So what did Erika send me….

A BOX FULL OF GOODIES!!!

Is the suspense killing you? Because my girls couldn’t take it, I was snapping pictures of the process and they were right next to me waiting impatiently to see what was in this superbly packaged box. Also, Erika left me a sweet note on each package explaining why she sent the corresponding item. So sweet.

Are ready? Here it is!!

Isn’t this box AWESOME!?!

Okay, okay, here’s what was inside my fall box swap box:

♡  One Bad Apple by Sheila Connolly

♡  Forever 21 Rusty Red Infinity Scarf

♡  Forever 21 Layered Leaf Necklace Set

♡  Donut Key Chain

♡  Ciate Dangerous Affair Nail Polish

♡  And Herb the Turkey and Pumpkin Spice Lindt CHOCOLATES

the-cutest-little-fall-boxes

How adorable are these boxes?!?

One Bad Apple seems like a deliciously suspenseful autumn thriller that pairs well with my pumpkin spice chocolates and a good cup of coffee. I can’t wait to dive into this read. The scarf will be worn over and over I’m sure. Because I love fall so much Erika wanted me to wear my love of fall and fall leaves all year round. I’m thinking of splitting up the leaves and giving one to each of my fall-loving baby girls. 🙂 THE DONUT KEY CHAIN… has someone visited my Instagram. 🙂  I hope I can make my nails look half as good as Erika with my luxurious new Ciate nail polish. Herb, my new turkey, is already hanging up waiting for all the turkey love that is to come this Thanksgiving season. Time to put away all the spiders and all things Halloween. Because it’s NOVEMBER!!!

    I am so, so glad that you loved everything, Dean! I think this was my favorite box to ever put together – I had so much fun choosing everything; and yes, I did get the doughnut idea from your Instagram!

    Counting down the seconds until the winter swap!

      Erika did such an awesome job! I was totally spoiled. The wrapping was a nice touch, I was kinda of lazy and purchased little burlap bags for my gifts. 😀

    This is the first that I have heard of a box swap, but then again, I am a business blogger. It seems too risky for me since I am so particular but I am happy to hear that you (and others) love it.

    What a cute box. I love all the goodies included as well. It’s a great collection of everything you need for fall. I think my favorite items are the turkey, necklace and ciate polish.

    Ok, so this box definitely looks like something I’m going to need given it’s all sweets and I’m a sweet fanatic. Although I will admit my boyfriend is WAY WORSE!! xx Adaleta Avdic

    This reminds me of something I took part in about 10 years ago when I was part of a scrapbooking/cardmaking community. We called it “happy mail”. So fun to get goodies in the mail!

    Aw, I love Erika! She found some great goodies for you, and man, her packing game is on point! I love it. It was so much fun doing this swap – so thanks for helping put it together. I’ll have to try the Winter one if I can!!

    Those are adorable gifts! The boxes are so pretty. I love this idea of Box Swap, and the layered leaf necklace set is perfect to wear with a turtleneck sweater.

    This is such a great idea! I’ve done a few gift swaps over the years. The last one I did was a book swap for my kids!

    Oh wow, what an amazing box swap!! Erica is so beyond thoughtful!! So many cute goodies and all wrapped up so pretty! I love the little touch of adding a note explaining each item. ^^ I would love to participate in one of these some day! I love finding unique and interesting gifts for people! I do get nervous sometimes looking at these posts and worry that my packaging or presentation won’t be cute or creative enough lol. I don’t want the other person to feel gypped especially if the one they give me looks amazing! >.<

    I’m reading all these at once, and quite enjoying them!!
    The Lindt chocolates intrigue me. I’ve had every other of their flavors and I’m a bit obsessed. To think this exists and I didn’t know!
