I’ve been dreaming of Maui, and a new vacation tote-bag. I found a few that might fit the bill. My favorite is by oaxacaXamor. It reminds me of the curtains in Pedro Almodóvar’s movie Pain & Glory. oaxacaXamor has an online store, but since my friend Daniel is going to Oaxaca for a month, he’sContinue reading “The Summer Tote”

Cleansers, Cleansers, Cleansers
Cleansing your skin is the first step in a beauty routine. I alternate cleansers with a particular rotation between In your face skincare’s Deep Enzyme Cleanse, Il Bagliore’s Manuka Honey Cleanser and La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser. But if I’ve been wearing makeup, which hasn’t happened much in the past year, I wouldContinue reading “Cleansers, Cleansers, Cleansers”
The Iconic Red Lip
Red lipstick is my signature, and I’ve had no reason to wear it. I’ve worn makeup a few times, but it’s something one has to ease their way back into. I’m in-love with Dior’s Iconic 999 shade. I have it in several variations. There is a texture for everyone….. Here’s to finding your perfect textureContinue reading “The Iconic Red Lip”
The Other Sneaker
I am thrilled I bought my Nike Women’s Air Zoom Pegasus sneakers last year, not only are they comfortable, but chic too.

I either buy my sneakers at Carbon38 or Bandier,Continue reading “The Other Sneaker”

IfContinue reading “Style Profile: Emily Maynard, of Elva Fields”
The Long Dress
Summer is fast approaching, and I’ve been buying dresses for my Maui vacation. I started buying dresses since last summer to be honest, so that I can wear them with leggings/tights and my booties. But we have been stuck-at-home and they are all stored away in my closet. My summer dresses are black or oliveContinue reading “The Long Dress”
Plump-It-Up
I’ve never used Botox, I never had to. Recently I’ve noticed my skin getting a little less plump, and a few minor lines on my forehead, really minor though, still not enough to need Botox, but enough to bother me. I turned to a few tried-and-true items in my arsenal and added a new oneContinue reading “Plump-It-Up”
That’s a Wrap
I own so many shawls and ponchos, in various colors, and now there are so many new temptations. Like this new hybrid by Margo Baridon, you can wear it over anything and add jewelry like Olivia Palermo in a photo by Diego @Collagevintage2. Discovering new brands also makes it harder to stay within a budget,Continue reading “That’s a Wrap”

Some people are boycotting New Balance over misinformation, New Balance does not support bigotry, racism or hate in any form, yet people believe that because New Balance donated money to the Trump Campaign, that they must support hate in all it’s forms.

Masking-Up
The first thing I notice about a person, believe it or not isn’t their personal style, or what jewelry they’re wearing. I notice their skin, and whether it’s clean or not. I notice sunspots, even skin-tone or if their skin looks dehydrated. Before diving into this blog, I wrote purely about beauty, mainly skincare. BeforeContinue reading “Masking-Up”
