On My Beauty Wishlist: Seen.

Image
Hello, beauty lovers! Wishing you a wonderful Thursday, a smooth and enjoyable work week, and plenty of excitement for the weekend ahead. I stick with a shampoo and conditioner I love until I get tired of it. But I recently found out that many of them have synthetic fragrances, which I can’t use anymore because of my eczema. I just had to share about the brand Seen, which I came across on the Ulta website. They’ve even earned the National Eczema Association’s seal of approval, so you might want to give these products a try yourself. Harvard-trained dermatologist Dr. Iris Rubin founded Seen, recognizing that good hair care is an important part of healthy skin. With patented, award-winning formulas proven to be non-comedogenic and gentle on sensitive skin, Seen helps keep both skin and hair in great shape. After experiencing breakouts linked to her hair care products, Dr. Rubin set out to create a way to get beautiful hair without sacrificing skin health. It took over four years and coun...

Salutations to everyone who enjoys fashion! I hope everyone's Wednesday is going well. I couldn't stay away from you lovely people for very long. The spring/summer season has arrived, and nothing says it better than a Platform/Wedge. I was browsing the Kate Spade website when I came across the Halo Platform Sandals. I really like the heel height and the two colors available. So today I had to tell all of my fashion friends about this shoe so that you could incorporate it into your Spring/Summer shoe rotation.  With an elevated platform and a modern profile, these Kate Spade New York Halo sandals make a bold statement. The rounded toe shape and open design improve stability and ease of wear. The price for this absolutely stunning spring/summer is $248.00. https://www.katespade.com/products/halo-platform-sandal/KO106-200.html?frp=KO106+SAD++9+++B https://www.macys.com/shop/product/kate-spade-new-york-womens-halo-slip-on-platform-sandals?ID=26023874&pla_country=US&CAGPSPN=...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Sister Homage Spring Earrings.

Image
 Hello again, fellow fashion lovers, on this Tuesday. I hope you're all doing well and had a wonderful week; I've missed talking to you all and can't wait to get back to you. I'm not sure why Sister Homage isn't more well-known, because their jewelry is stunning. I was browsing the website when I came across the Spring Earrings, which are so simple and would look great with my outfit. I felt compelled to tell you about them today because I'm a close friend.  In his book To Bless the Space Between Us, John O'Donohue writes about spring: "Within the grip of winter, it is almost impossible to imagine the spring. Then, imperceptibly, somewhere one bud opens and the symphony of renewal is no longer reversible. These earrings contain a treasure of color, with six alternating natural amethyst and aquamarine stones, and three strands reminding us of the spring. These stud earrings, priced at $239.00, feature a standard butterfly back and are only available in v...

Image
  Beauty lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well on this Thursday. I'm so grateful to be here with all you and I hope that your weekend is everything you want it to be.  In my opinion, Alter Ego doesn’t get nearly enough recognition in the beauty industry. I adore all of their palettes, and the packaging is always top-notch. While scrolling through Instagram, I saw a makeup artist using the Misthaven Eyeshadow Palette, and I fell in love with its color story. So, being the great friend that I am, I had to share this with you all. Take a mystical trip with Misthaven, where the enchanting charm of a foggy forest comes alive in 18 stunning eyeshadows. This palette blends dusky purples, rich earth tones, and soft greys with hints of shimmering silver and muted gold.

On My Fashion Wishlist: Rowen Rose Dalmation Dress.

Image
I hope this Wednesday is going well for all of you fashion enthusiasts. Being able to be here with all of you again makes me very happy. While browsing the Farfetch website, I came across the Dalmation Dress from Rowen Rose, a brand I had never heard of before. I enjoy learning about new fashion designers and brands so I can share them with you wonderful people. I also felt that having it in my own closet would be fantastic. Emma Rowen Rose, a Parisian born and raised in a Polish and Spanish family, founded the luxury fashion brand Rowe Rose in September 2018. Contrasts and ambivalence are therefore key components of the brand's success. It defies stereotypes to create a distinctive style that is both elegant and modern, bold and traditional, feminine and masculine. Additionally, the brand creates a unique luxury product with a new ethical and sustainable production that is entirely made in Italy by fusing historical influences, methods, and aesthetics with a forward-thinking appro...

  Fashion enthusiasts, I've missed you all so much! I hope everyone is doing great, had an amazing weekend, and kicked off the week on a high note. I love finding new jewelry brands to share with you all! While browsing one of my favorite plus-size fashion brands, Eloquii, I came across the jewelry brands Andrea Tekle and Adina Eden. As a good fashion friend, I felt it was only right to let you know about them so you can check them out too. AndrĂ©a Tekle, the founder and creative director of her namesake brand, holds a fashion degree and nearly a decade of industry experience. She discovered a deep passion for the entire product lifecycle, from concept to completion. Beginning her career in apparel and later transitioning to accessories, her journey ultimately led her to her true calling—jewelry. In 2023, she finally took a leap of faith to create her own brand and share it with everyone. Her goal is to elevate your basics and essentials with just the right amount of fashion to comp...

My fellow beauty enthusiasts, I'm so thankful to be here with all of you on this Thursday/Friday eve. I always feel so happy when the weekend finally arrives. Sarah Creal is quickly becoming one of my favorite beauty brands. I absolutely love the aesthetic of the brand and the sleek packaging of their products.

My Fall Fashion Obsession: Cow Print.

Image
Hello to all my fellow fashion lovers this Tuesday! I hope you had an amazing weekend and are off to a fantastic start to your work week. I know, animal print for every season—groundbreaking. But it’s true, as far as I’m concerned, animal print is a neutral. The one fashion rule I’ll teach my future daughter when she’s young is that “animal print is your friend.” While rewatching the Stella McCartney Fall/Winter 2023 Ready-To-Wear Collection, I felt it was a clear sign this trend was destined to be huge. While browsing the Aldo website, I came across the Smallharperr bag and thought it would be the perfect addition to my fall wardrobe. The Smallharperr cow print hobo bag instantly elevates any everyday look with its trendy pattern and relaxed, slouchy silhouette, making it ideal for carrying essentials in style. Perfect for adding a bold touch to both casual and chic outfits, it’s a must-have for anyone looking for a fresh, eye-catching accessory. This charming piece is available in a ...

Woman Owned Brand That You Need To Know About: Le Nora.

Image
Happy International Women's Day and happy Sunday, fellow style enthusiasts. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their weekend. Since I saw YouTuber Stine Eleonora Honoré wearing the Haze earrings, I have been a fan of the Le Nora jewelry brand. I had to tell you lovely people about this woman-owned brand and these gorgeous earrings because I adore their simplicity and how I would wear them in my daily life. Stine started Le Nora in 2022 because she wanted to be elegant and sophisticated. She looked for jewelry that supported her self-expression, resonated with her values, and complemented her elegant yet modest style. Le Nora believes that jewelry has the ability to convey a narrative. Strength, self-assurance, and uniqueness are embodied in every piece they create. They create collections that ignite inner confidence and spark conversations, drawing inspiration from the graceful and resilient modern woman. The crafting process demonstrates their commitment to sustainability...

  I hope you're having a good Friday, friends and fashionistas. We survived to have another weekend. As a 35-year-old, this is my final blog post before I take a birthday vacation. I had to give you guys something to read over the course of the week before I could do that, though. One of my favorite fashion brands is Khoi, a Black-owned company that offers distinctive pieces for women who don't mind being noticed. I saw the Anka Tote on their website, and as many of you are aware, handbags are my biggest weakness. I had to tell you about this bag because I adore you all so much.
