Good morning and happy Thursday!  While it may not technically be spring yet, I jump at any chance I have to throw on some spring pieces with the little warm ups we’ve been having. This navy linen dress from Julie Brown NYC features a lace up neckline and the ever popular bell sleeves with a little bit of ruffle to them. I immediately thought of  an ocean or lake getaway when I saw this dress. Oh what I wouldn’t give for a warm weather trip right now! I also envisioned pairing it with accessories for a nautical themed ensemble. I cannot wait to start wearing all of my straw and wicker bags again too. They’re my absolute go-to for spring and summer. This company makes some of the best and ones that I carried non-stop last year.

Happy Friday, friends! I recently wore this outfit out and felt sooooo comfortable in it! I've been in love with the color combo of blush, white, and gray lately. It's summery and also a great way to transition into fall. While I typically go with olive and burgundy for fall, I've also been adding in many blush and gray pieces. No surprise there! This outfit, while casual, has a soft and romantic feel to it. The sweater is so cozy and has an oversized fit. These tassel sneakers are currently sold out, but I found a pair that look almost exactly the same and come in a variety of colors, blush included!

Cheers to a wonderful weekend everyone!

Pink Dramatic Sleeves

in , ,

Good morning and happy Friday! Just a quick post today of an outfit I wore out to dinner while on vacation. The tiered ruffled sleeves add some dramatic flair to an otherwise casual look. The top is super comfortable too! You know I cannot resist a beautiful shade of pink either. This would be a great summer date night look for those evenings that are on the cooler side. Speaking of, cheers to the first official weekend of summer!

Cozy Glam // Thanksgiving Outfit

Happy Friday, friends! l don't know about you, but I love being cozy and comfy during Thanksgiving dinner. You can dress up or down for the holiday, but in recent years I've gone with a cozy glam look. An outfit where I can eat a ton of good food and not feel uncomfortable in! This beaded sweater is beautiful with a subtle blush color and dazzling embellishments that catch the eye. I'm wearing an XS and found the fit to be relaxed. Not too loose or tight. It's also a great option for adding some sophistication to your work wardrobe. The sweater could be tucked into a skirt or worn with some trousers to add a little glitz to your day. I've been wearing these glitter mules non-stop. They are one of the most comfortable shoes I own and are a true show stopper. I've received so many compliments on them and people asking where they're from. You know they're a winner when that happens! They are the perfect finishing touch, the icing on the cake to add some vintage glamour any ensemble. The feathery pompom on top is beyond cute. They fit true to size.

Enza Essentials

Enza Essential Customized Skin Care Suite c/o || Kate Spade Nightgown ||

I'm always on the lookout for the next great skin care item or newest makeup to incorporate into my daily routine. I've heard about Enza before and was intruded to see what my customized skin care suite would look like. This is skin care unique to your specific needs, not a one size fits all, which is super important since not everyone is going to have the same skin care needs. The Customized Skin Care Suite starts by filling out a form describing your skin care concerns and lifestyle. They also offers 30% off if you purchase the skin care suite that was recommend to you by Enza. After your package is prepared, it is rushed shipped to your home, with shipping being taken care of by Enza. Heck yes! I always love free shipping. After two weeks, a representative from Enza will contact you to see how your skin is responding and make any adjustments as necessary.

Below are the products I tested from my suite and what I actually added into my daily routine.

 

Skin Care

  • Sustaining Cleanser: I use this once in the morning and twice at night. I use this twice in a row at night to first get rid of all of my makeup and then to secondly cleanse the skin. It's a lightweight gel with mild cleansing agents to lift away makeup and impurities without disturbing the skins natural moisture level. My skin never feels dry or tight when using this.
  • Extraction Toner: I used this a few times to test it out, but found it to be too drying, especially now that its fall and my skin is naturally drier. Its made from peppermint extract, menthol, witch hazel, and carrot extract to help balance oily, problem skin.
  • Stress Extraction Creme: This is by far my favorite of the skin care products from Enza. The creme feels luxurious, but light weight at the same time. Vitamins A,C, and E help protect the skin from any moisture loss and environmental damage. I apply this both day and night.
  • Pore Extraction Masque: I've used this a few times, but found it to be very drying to use as intended, 1-2 times weekly. I think for the fall and winter I'll be using it once or twice a month. In the summer my skin is naturally oilier and would benefit from more frequent use. It does work very well to draw out impurities using oat flour, rich in beta glucans to tone skin while purifying it with camphor and sulfur dispensed in a cleansing gel base to reduce the appearance of of large pores.

Body Care

  • Shea Butter Body Gel: Dead Sea salts, red marine algae and a peptide all help provide this body gel with a unique ability to revive and tone the skin. Shea butter also help soften the skin and protect it from environmental damage and moisture loss.   
  • Shea Butter Body Polish: I use this once or twice weekly to help gently maintain a smooth and healthy skin texture. This is my favorite product from the body care. The creamy Shea butter feels so lovely and the Dead Sea salts (great purifiers) along with carica papaya fruit (a natural exfoliant) gently polish to revel beautiful smooth skin underneath.
  • Shea Butter Body Lotion: I really love the smell of this lotion and adore its creamy texture. It feels way more expensive than it is. I use this every other night after my shower. On the other nights I use Jergens Natural Glow moisturizer. This body lotion incorporates the finest ingredients to renew delicate skin. Shea butter along with a mix of botanicals and Hawaiian red marine algae repair skin damage and improve firmness and thickness. Japanese green tea extract prevents redness, rough skin, and peeling caused by the sun and harsh weather. Vitamin E helps defend skin from free radical damage.
