Best of Beauty 2015 & Giveaway!
Each year brings a bounty of new beauty goodies, some making the repurchase list and others hitting the trash. I've rounded up a few high and low products that I've used until pan and repurchased.
Lessons in R&R
Behind any blogger is a serious set of sweatpants and cardigans. Although my personal arsenal has plenty of old cotton tees and sweats (that should be thrown away) there are a few that stay true to the fashion aesthetic. These are the pieces in my closet that get the most wear week after week! One thing that these have in common with my old beloveds, is that they are incredibly soft and comfortable, which makes lounging that much better. I've shared M.Rena with you a few years ago- and practically raved about their high waited legging!
Cucumber Gin Fizz & NYE SF Celebration!
Are you ready to ring in the new year?? This is one of my favorite times of year, not only because I get to dress up, but also because everyone seems to be in great spirits! Speaking of spirits, I'm sure plenty of you (including myself) will be indulging in a cocktail or two. In the effort to keep you and your new year goals in line I've whipped up two fresh and delicious drinks to keep you celebrating all evening long.
Shadow Play
I'm back from my holiday hiatus and ready to share a few end of the year looks! I hope you all had a merry christmas. I know mine was super relaxing even through battling a cold. It's been absolutely freezing in San Francisco so heavy knits have been on repeat. This oversized style was a sale find from H&M that I purchased earlier last month. I loved the style so much that I ended up purchasing it in a second color.
Holiday Cocktail Party in a Flash
There is no better feeling than being able to make a list and check it twice! The unfortunate part about this is that my list(s) tends to always be a mile long, especially around the holidays. With a cocktail party in the works I knew that there were a few things that had to get done, the first of them being to start with a clean slate. I've never been one to pawn off my dirty work* on someone else but, this year I could use all the help I could get; luckily TaskRabbit was on board to help. Prior to this I had yet to use the service, so I was a bit apprehensive about a contract or lengthy sign up process, but TaskRabbit is neither of these.
RSVP Yes! NYE Minimalist Style
Can you believe we are just over a week away from the New Year? I know it caught me by surprise, which is why purchasing an NYE outfit is well underway. Normally, I'm a girl who loves a little sparkle, but this year I'm looking for a sleek maxi dress or streamlined jumpsuit to ring in the new year with style.
Casual Friday, The Gifting Season
How the heck and we already almost three weeks into December?! This week brought less than desirable circumstances, and between battling a cold and work duties I'm ready for a holiday break. Which brings me to the realization that I still have another few days until I can indulge in a much need vaycay. In all honestly I've been dressing like I belong in the Arctic, not mild San Francisco weather. With crazy rain and abnormally cool temps a girls got to layer!
