Winters Hottest Acessories

Hey loves! 

Accessories play as big of a role as clothes when it comes to fashion..I'm a huge accessorize(r) {is that a word?} & I love to shop for bags and jewelry as much as anything else. So today I am bringing you the hottest accessory trends for winter 16". Of course there are so many trends to choose from but I picked my personal favorites for this post & I hope you're as obsessed as I am! 

1) Fringe Earrings; This is my personal favorite trend right now.. they're so beautiful & feminine. Dress them up, dress them down.. they make a statement and they just scream LUXURY! {BUY HERE!}

2.) Embellished Phone Cases; Why not make the thing you hold the most..your most fab accessory? Think about it; most of the time our phones are not in our handbags, they are in our hands! Everyone sees you on them..checking your email..answering text messages; take off your boring rubber case and give your phone some bling! {SHOP IT HERE!}



3.) Padlock Handbags; Again we're adding to that {luxurious} feeling but with a lock and key. It's so much fun, very sophisticated and yet doesn't have to be expensive; I've seen so many affordable versions of this Gucci clutch online it's unreal.. {SHOP IT HERE!}




4.) Corset belts; Again we have to thank Kim K for brining back this one…prior to her sporting these bad boys just a few weeks ago, these belts were a thing of the past, & only offered as a provocative lingerie item 😳  Thanks to the "queen" these belts are everywhere & not risqué in the least! {SHOP IT HERE!}


5.) Wool BoHo Hats; I was never a huge fan of hats..but I picked up a few within the last couple of months I have been finding them so useful! When my hair is bad, when it's just too cold, or I just feel like throwing it on..it is so chic and finishes off a cozy look any day. {SHOP IT HERE!}

6.) Pins and Brooches; Ever since this craze of denim jackets started popping up over the summer, girls have been accessorizing them with brooches and pin sets and I think it is SO adorable! They are being shown on regular tops, jackets and hats and I can't get enough of them; so feminine & fun! {SHOP IT HERE!}

7.) Pom-pom Keychains; These have been around since even before last year, but the craze has not ended. As you can see with this Tory Burch "pouf", high end designers are making them in the cutest forms & I bet they're not going anywhere anytime soon! {SHOP IT HERE!}

Crushing over you..

Just wanted to post up this collage to inspire you to participate in winters sexiest trend by far..crushed velvet baby! I'm so in love with the look..it gleams in the light and yet its such a warm fabric..the perfect combo of fashion & functional. This bodysuit it so sexy..I can envision it with the perfect pair of wide leg pants..or even a silk holiday skirt. And those ankle boots are everything..I've been seeing so many bloggers mixing these dressy ankle boots & thigh-high's with casual tee's & sweaters..you can get so creative & never go wrong!  Happy Shopping loves<3

My Fall Skincare Routine

So I tend to have oily skin to begin with, but with the colder air creeping its way in, I'm experiencing a lot of dryness which is causing my skin to produce MORE oil. In tern, I've been getting more buildup..which is leading to frequent breakouts, flaky patches, and redness! I was in the market for some new skincare products as it was, & with all these issues popping up left & right, I decided to do some research. I found some great products to add to my routine & I wanted to share them with you<3

Clinique 3-Step System:

1.) Cleanse: A cleansing foam that unclogs pores by eliminating dirt & excess oil.

2.) Clarify: A medicated lotion that exfoliates the skin & reduces redness leaving you with fresh baby-soft new skin!

3.) Treat: A soothing finishing lotion that helps treat already existing blemishes & creates a barrier against acne-causing agents.

Masks:

 Left: Daylogic for dry thirsty skin

Right: Origins charcoal mask for blackheads

Makeup Additions: 

1.) Nivea post-shave balm (yes its for men but it works wonders under foundation!..try it!)

2.) Mario Badescu facial spray is amazing to freshen up your skin throughout the day or use it to finish off your makeup look

Night creams: 

After the 3-step system I like to put a dab of either of these night creams around my eyes and mouth to soften lines and prevent aging! Both have amazing ingredients & reviews :)
