Natural Festival Beauty
When it comes to festival beauty, less is definitely more! In between sweltering heat and windstorms, heavy beauty routines do not stand a chance. When gearing up for Coachella, Bonnaroo, or any other festival destination, think twice before packing excessive makeup and skin-care products. In fact, I would suggest taking the minimalist approach when preparing your beauty bag this season. Invest in quality products that will be able to keep up with your playlist and pending weather conditions. Here is one of my go-to fuss-free natural festival beauty routines.
Springtime in the City
Raise your hands if you consider denim a year-round staple ( insert high-five emoji). As if there's anything more classic than a pair of washed jeans, it's cuffed or cut-off shorts! Living in San Francisco in the springtime means a mix of highs and lows. Being as the weather typically settles in the mid-60s layering year round is a must.
Stripes at Sunset
This weekend was a surreal mix of emotions and I can't not start this post without sharing that I got engaged! I'm sure those of you who follow along on Instagram saw the post on Saturday. I'm still a ball of emotions are clearly walking on cloud 9. I'll be sharing all the deets on how he asked in a post later this week so stay tuned. I thought I'd share the look from the day with you since I dress was one I've been getting a ton of wear out of.
Desk to Drinks with Banana Republic
If there's one thing that's changed since moving to San Francisco it's the pace of life after work. Whether I’m heading home after a long day or meeting the boy for drinks, what I wear needs to be transitional.
Outfit Planning 101
For those of us who don't spend our mornings leisurely waking up and sipping coffee from bed, outfit planning is normally reserved for the last 15 minutes before running out the door. As a self-proclaimed born again morning person, outfit planning is not only a time saver, it's one of the best habits to get into.
Oversized Elements
The mornings are much chiller but, normally warm up in the late afternoons. One combination I've been wearing a lot lately is a dress/skirt worn under a heavier jacket.
Springtime Essentials
Spring is officially in season! I'm so ready to get out of the drab and dismal weather we've been having and enjoy a little sunshine. Luckily, I have a few upcoming projects and a handful of mini trips to fill my calendar for the next month. I've been pretty good with not purchasing any new clothing, so I'm finally starting to put together a list of things that may wind up in my closet! For your own shopping trip inspiration I've put together a (pinable) graphic of my favorites for Spring 2016!
Back to Basics, Spring Beauty
Happy first day of Spring! Just as the seasons change so should your beauty routine. If theres one thing I've learned through the years its the importance of paying attention to your skins needs. Spring means more time outdoors and the need to keep your skin moisturized is a must. My skin tends to be very sensitive to face washes, especially those with acne fighting additives. For that reason I prefer to use brands that sell products that are gentle on skin and exclude harsh chemicals.
