On My Beauty Wishlist: Hung Vanngo Color Story Eyeshadow Palette.

Image
 Beauty fans, I hope you're all doing well on Thursday; I'm looking forward to the weekend, and I know you are too. Hung Vanngo is becoming one of my favorite make-up artists; his attention to detail is breathtaking to watch. While reading Harper's Bazaar, I came across the Color Story Eyeshadow Palette. I like the neutral tone of this palette because I prefer neutral makeup. I had to tell you about this palette because I believe you'll love it as much as I do. Hung emigrated from Vietnam to Canada at a young age, where he found comfort in painting and sketching, inspired by the faces in '90s fashion magazines. His passion for art led him into the beauty industry, and he relocated to New York City to pursue his craft full-time. His dedication and creativity drew the spotlight, allowing him to share his vision on a global scale. Despite his success, makeup continues to be his creative sanctuary, allowing him to bring art to life on real people's faces. Hung has c...

AAPI Jewelry Brand That You Need To Know About: Shiffon Co.

Image
Hi there, fellow fashion enthusiasts! To all of you, happy Tuesday. I hope everyone is doing well, that your weekend was fantastic, and that your workweek is off to a fantastic start. I came across the Duet Pinky Ring from the jewelry company Shiffon Co. while perusing the February 2021 issue of InStyle magazine over the weekend. I adore delicate, feminine jewelry, and since that's what friends are for, I knew I wanted to share this brand with you all. Closing the gender gap is Shiffon's mission, especially in entrepreneurship. They want to give women the chance to pursue entrepreneurship, which is about taking initiative and learning fast, without fear of failure or risk-taking. They are hopeful that they can start implementing this change. By 2025, they hope to have financially empowered one million women worldwide. Shiffon was constructed by Shilpa Yarlagadda in a way that would enable us to give back right away. She wanted fine jewelry to invest back in women because she lo...

Greetings on this Thursday, lovely people. I hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for the most amazing week ever.  I adore how Patrick Ta treats each of his clients with precision and care, and I have a lot of products on my wish list. When I came across the Major Glow High Shine Skin Perfecting Body Creme one day while checking my emails, I felt compelled to share it with all of you as a must-have for your spring/summer skincare regimen.  This rich body cream melts into the skin for instant moisture and high shine. It is made with a decadent blend of butters and oils to lock in hydration and glow. Additionally, you can use this product if you have normal, dry, oily, or combination skin. It costs $58.00. https://patrickta.com/products/major-glow-skin-perfecting-body-creme?variant=52131473752433&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19887120636&gbraid=0AAAAAD6HPMjO5VoyZJgFcnqFEHHVdMSfe&gclid=CjwKCAjwqubPBhBOEiwAzgZX2vhgtRQp_tBpSehNf8V3T-HutgF8QIH...

AAPI Owned Fashion Brand That You Need To Know About: Parisa Wang

Image
To all of you fashion enthusiasts, happy Tuesday. I hope everyone is doing well. I hope your work week is going well and your weekend was fantastic. I've always wanted a Chanel or Hermes purse since I was a child. But now that I'm a little older, wiser, and have a different taste in fashion, I consider myself to be a mid-range girl. The exquisite quality of Parisa Wang's bags has long made me a fan, and I hope to have a few of them in my closet. You also need their bags in your daily life, which is why I wanted to tell you about this AAPI-owned fashion brand.  Parisa Wang began her career in New York with the straightforward conviction that luxury shouldn't be unaffordable. As a young designer making handbags in 2016 that she couldn't afford to purchase herself, Parisa witnessed firsthand how outstanding craftsmanship frequently results in outrageous markups. Determined to change that, she partnered directly with the same ateliers trusted by some of the world’s most...

On My Spring/Summer Wardrobe Wishlist: Brahmin Dayan Satchel Bag.

Image
Greetings on Monday, fellow style enthusiasts. I hope everyone is doing well, enjoyed a fantastic weekend, and is prepared for the coming week. I adore straw bags because they are a perfect way to finish an ensemble and shout spring and summer. I became enamored with the Dayan Satchel Bag while browsing the Brahmin website. I adore how it resembles the Gucci Bamboo handle bag while being significantly less expensive. I had to share this bag with you all today because I wanted to let you know that you might need to incorporate it into your wardrobe rotation.  The Dayan began by drawing inspiration from an antique Brahmin purse, which was made of lightweight raffia fabric. The turn-lock closure, a back-slide pocket, and an incredibly stylish bamboo top handle are just a few of the practical details and new, contemporary twists we added. The bottom feet provide comfort and safety. This bag comes in 15 colors, and the price for this is $385.00.  https://brahmin.com/products/dayan-...

AAPI Fashion Brand That You Need To Know About: PopFlex Active.

Image
Hi there, fellow fashion enthusiasts. I hope your workweek went well and that you have a fantastic weekend this Friday.  Cheers to AAPI Heritage Month and May. I firmly believe that you will feel good when you look good in your workout attire. I've been a fan of the activewear company Popflex, but I was unaware that it was owned by AAPIs. I felt compelled to share this information with you lovely people so you could support this size-inclusive company. POPFLEX's CEO and chief designer is Cassey Ho. Cassey's non-negotiable, predetermined career path was medicine because she was the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants. After being severely dissuaded from pursuing her dream of becoming a fashion designer, she ended up attending Whittier College on a full-ride scholarship to study biology. But until she started teaching Pilates at a nearby studio, her time in college was meaningless and aimless. That's when she realized she had a problem: she couldn't find a cute bag to f...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Roz Salt Scalp Scrub.

Image
On this Thursday, fellow beauty enthusiasts, I hope that everyone is doing well, had a fantastic workweek, and is eager to enjoy the weekend. Healthy hair growth is something we often worry about, but we rarely worry about the scalp. When I saw the Roz Salt Scalp Scrub in the most recent issue of Harper's Bazaar, I thought it would be fantastic to incorporate it into our haircare regimen.  Regardless of the texture of your hair, the pure, effective ingredients restore its health while prioritizing styling performance. The simple-to-use products provide effortlessly gorgeous hair that looks as good as it feels thanks to their lightweight formulas, nourishing botanicals, ethical sourcing, and environmentally friendly packaging. After working with Emma Stone, Olivia Wilde, Zoe Saldana, and other celebrities for 20 years in her salon, Mara felt that many of the best styling products available today were too heavy, confusing, or complicated to achieve her signature effortless hair. She ...

I hope you're all doing well, had a fantastic weekend, and are starting your workweek off right.   All of Amanu's belongings should be in my closet. I adore their pieces' simplicity and sophistication. I adore straw bags for spring and summer, so when I saw the Zanzibar bag on their website, I fell in love right away. I wanted to tell you about this gorgeous bag today, and perhaps you could also add it to your closet.  An Italian leather strap elevates the sculptural form of this top-handle macramé handbag, which is entirely handwoven by artisans in Cape Town, South Africa. Sadly, this bag is sold out on the website, but you can sign up to be notified when it is back in stock. It costs $995.00. https://amanustudio.com/products/the-zanzibar I hope everyone who enjoys fashion found this Tuesday's blog post to be both entertaining and motivating. Until the next time, thank you for your ongoing support! Stay Beaut...

One of my favorite drugstore brands is Milani Cosmetics because their products are affordable and effective.

I live by the fashion maxim, "You don't have to spend a ton of money to look great," and La Voute offers stylish yet reasonably priced apparel and accessories, particularly their handbags. You can incorporate the La Commun in this lovely shade of chocolate brown into your fall/winter wardrobe this year. We are close friends, so I felt compelled to tell you about this bag. Nostalgic.

On My Fashion Wishlist: Coach Chelsea Shoulder Bag 30.

Image
 Hello again, fellow fashion lovers. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that your work week is going well. I wouldn't mind if Coach took all of my money. While browsing the website, I noticed the Chelsea Bag 30, which I thought was a great size for me because not all bags are created equal when you're only 5'2. So, because I am a good friend, I had to tell you about it. The Chelsea is a New York-inspired minimalist style that is effortlessly cool with a laid-back sophistication. The 30 is made of natural grain leather with a beautiful texture and soft feel. It has an open interior with space for daily essentials and more, as well as a zip pocket for easy organization. It features a comfortable shoulder strap and a secure pushlock closure. This bag comes in six colors and is priced at $325.00. https://www.coach.com/products/chelsea-shoulder-bag-30/CDS58.html

The spring/summer shoe selection on the website is excellent, so Steve Madden needs to be stopped. I fell in love with the Tigress sandal when I saw it on the website. It also reminds me of an Alaia shoe that everyone wore for a very long time.

On My Fashion Wishlist: Coach Alter Ego Crescent Shoulder Bag.

Image
Hello, fellow fashion lovers! This Tuesday, I hope everyone is enjoying a great start to the work week and had a perfect weekend. I've been obsessed with the Coach Alter Ego Crescent Shoulder Bag ever since I spotted it on the Coach website. Coach has been satisfying my fashion cravings, and I’m definitely not complaining. Fashion-forward and cleverly designed, this shoulder bag is made from glove-tanned leather scraps left over after cutting a Coach Brooklyn Bag from a leather hide. Stylish yet practical, it holds everything you need for a day out—even a tablet—and secures with a zip-top closure. This version features buttery soft glove-tanned leather, treated with a rub-off technique to reveal the base color for a beautifully worn-in look. This product is part of their Alter/Ego Collection, a lineup of bags made from the exact leather scraps left over from creating iconic Coach pieces like the Tabby and Brooklyn bags, which might otherwise end up in a landfill. With this collecti...
