Winter Color Palette Looks // Under $100

Winter Color Palette Looks // Under $100 Winter is coming… and doesn’t seem gray anymore. Nah, no dark and murky colors here. It’s time for energetic and lively color combined with our natural ability to stay warm. Don’t get too cozy staying inside with those lazy day attires, layers of blanket, and Netflix—that’s so last year’s agenda. Go out and dress up in effortless looks that won’t break up your bank. Green, yellow, and pink dominated the winter color looks and this is a part of many bright winter color palettes.If you like to go all out, go for striking shades which will give a bright vibe in the stormy weather.I’m also throwing some outfit ideas on how you can incorporate these current winter shades into your daily wardrobe.These attention-grabbing hues will bring a brightness that stands out against everyone’s boring blacks and browns. This striking green hue is everywhere. Opt for a green knit dress which offers a simple and chic option since they can be worn with tights and neutral knee-high boots.Try to rock it in unexpected ways, my favorite being to pair it with a faux fur jacket in midnight blue!A simple accent piece like a sparkling hair clip definitely completes the look. Think pink. How does one wear it this season? I’ve been loving this subtle shade of pink and works wonderfully with a brighter shade of pink—you’ll have a pop of color that’s dazzling.This iconic shocking pink oversized blazer leans towards fuchsia and is paired perfectly with winter white accessories.A cute and comfy option of sneakers and a crossbody bag still feels like a Christmas, right?  If a block of bright yellow is too loud for you, take it down a notch by seeking out a more mellow yellow like this turtleneck.It’s warm, comfortable, and versatile enough to layer underneath everything while adding that extra edge to your outfit.While mustardy yellow is not burst loud, it still adds brightness to any outfit.Spice it up with ultimate statement pieces like a yellow leather coat, midi leather skirt, and leopard knee-high boots.

Tried-And-True Skincare That Will Leave Your Skin Glowing Like A Korean Star

I can admit I have an obsession with skincare—I love testing the latest products and innovations. My skin is far less sensitive after turning the age of 25. Now, I have a little more room to test formulas through trial and error. According to its many rave reviews, OxygenCeuticals is life-changing. I first came across this Korean skincare brand a few months ago and couldn’t wait to try some of their skincare products! This is a skincare brand located in South Korea (and created in 2012) who focuses on Oxygen being the best therapy for problematic and post procedure skin conditions. Their products also focus on soothing and strengthening the skin. OxygenCeuticals products are being used by over 600 dermatology and plastic surgeon clinics in South Korea and even health professionals all over the world. I decided to mix a few of my OxygenCeuticals products with a few products after taking a Skin Quiz so you can find out what kind of products you may need for your skin. Below, I’ve documented my honest opinions on how the products have worked on my skin over the past 4 weeks: D:O2 Activator: Spray mists, are meant to be spritzed onto your face and neck at any time throughout the day for a nice cooling burst. This D:O2 Activator can also be used as both a toner after cleansing and as a regular facial spray to reset and moisturize skin throughout the day. It is rich in minerals and contains an oxygen cartridge for an extra boost of oxygen. This amount of oxygen helps recover damaged skin and reduce flaking on skin. The spray itself comes out in a gentle, superfine mist, and the amount of oxygen making it a great choice for recovering damaged skin and reducing flaking on skin! This is one of the most sought-after products that gives you glass-like skin! All you have to do is twist the bottom of the bottle to release oxygen in cartridge and then spray it on your face! Nutrient Toner: Adding a toner is a great way to take your skin care routine to the next level, with this Nutrient Toner is an absolute game changer. It has a silky lotion texture and gentle enough to refresh your skin without stripping it of its natural moisture with Sodium Hyaluronate, Portulaca Oleracea Extract to protect the skin, and Allantoin to make the skin soft and smooth! Only thin layers of each product are needed. But see how your skin feels and if more layers are desired, this toner can be layered more heavily. It can be used on dry and aging skin and is so easy to use: just put some on a cotton pad and then apply to your face! Acell Moisture Kit (Acell-300 Fluid + Moisture Aqua Serum): This serum has everything from soothing ingredients to antioxidants to fatty acids to vitamins to minerals to hydrators. I mix the Acell-300 Fluid and Moisture Aqua Serum (1:1 ratio) before applying to the skin and then apply when ready. I use one-to-three pumps of this serum in the morning and night. I was quite apprehensive about trying this serum at first because I wondered whether the fluid would feel gooey on my face. Thankfully, it wasn’t gooey and instantly felt super hydrating! Acell-300 Fluid is a patented ingredient that has been developed through 300 research trials and helps maintain a healthy oil/water skin balance. It creates a protective layer over the skin, which helps the skin retain moisture to prevent dryness and is non-sticky and non-greasy. It was fascinating to use this serum before I apply my face cream. With the active ingredient of jojoba oil also helps balancing the body’s oils by tricking the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil. Hydrating Cream: The Hydrating Cream promises to keep the skin refreshed, radiant and invigorated. Formulated with Edelweiss Callus Culture and Niacinamide, it doesn’t only hydrates and soothes the skin, it also doubles up as increasing elasticity by stimulating collagen synthesis. Niacinamide is a type of vitamin (Vitamin B3) that is said to detoxify, repair skin, boost its radiance and helps brighten the skin. Like with all other OxygenCueticals  products, this cream is free from nasties like parabens, phenoxyethanol, mineral oil, silicone and synthetic coloring. I’m happy to report that this cream was so calming on my skin and gentle whether used morning or night, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone with dull or dry skin use it at the last step of the skincare routine better absorption with the nutrients and moisture. Moisture Aqua Serum: This Moisture Aqua Serum has a very light and watery texture, when applied to the skin it absorbs in no time and doesn’t leave any sticky or greasy residue. I like to use it before putting on my makeup in the AM. At night time, I use it after applying Nutrient toner. It will take care of your skin throughout the whole night while you sleep and my skin feels very fresh, tight, and hydrated in the next morning. The serum will work the best for dry and combined skin types, but people with oily and acne-prone skin can use this product as well because it is water-based and doesn’t cause breakouts.   One of my goals for this month was to achieve the look of glass skin—and these products definitely helped me meet it. Every time I used it, I could see a glowy reflection in my skin and was inundated with compliments. It felt so lightweight and gave an overall radiance to my complexion. All K-Beauty brands provide a fun and simple experience compared to what I’ve used in the past. Moisture Aqua Serumwas definitely was my favorite part of my whole routine (I can’t help but ordered myself a travel size in case I need to touch up when I am on the go), my skin genuinely feel rehydrated and looked super polished.

How Not to Look Like a Tourist in New York City

NYFW is truly a space for all. If going all-out isn’t your thing,don’t feel like you have to change your aesthetic just to get noticed! After carefully planning my outfits,I’m happy to report that I ended up wearing almost none of my pre-planned ensembles. This year maximalism has become popular in the street style and home decor spheres,I am paring down my closet to basics, down to style a few neutrals into a sleek, versatile ‘fit. Sheer lace is a year-round wardrobe essential. Styling a femme mini dress with over knee-high boots makes for an edgy-yet-sweet combo every time. Wrap silky dress is a year-round wardrobe essential.A pair of black pumps makes it feel more warm-weather appropriate. There’s just something about a party dress paired with a classic Dior blazer that never gets old. When in doubt, pair with distressed straight-leg jeans with a cropped turtleneck shirt.It’s a match made in fashion heaven. A midi silk dress makes it look like you put a ton of effort into your look, even if you didn’t. Featured ItemsZella Blazer | Gelato Heels | Nadeen Mini Dress | Isadora Mini Dress

Benefits of Vitamin D/Getting Sunlight

I always feel so much better relaxing in the sun! I feel bad for those who live in places where it rains and there are clouds with rarely any sun! Here are the benefits: Improves emotional health The sun is so relaxing, there’s no stress to be had and can keep you staying positive and have a great outlook on life. Improves your sleep Your body produces melatonin, which is needed to help you sleep. 30 minutes to an hour of sunlight will make you feel sleepy and can help you sleep better during the night. It always wears me out! Weight loss For some, this can actually help shed weight on their bodies. 20-30 minutes of morning sunlight might really help! Get stronger bones Vitamin D (from the sun) allows the body to absorb phosphate and calcium better in people’s diets. These are needed to maintain healthy bones, muscles, and teeth.

Spring Transitional Items

Seasonal changes aren’t always very easy to follow from a dressing point of view, and making the transition from winter to spring style can be quite tricky.Often the temperature fluctuates suddenly, going from one extreme to another —which could be a little mild—and you never know if the good weather will play hide and seek.Regardless, there’s nothing more exciting than preparing for the transitional spring weather.   Perhaps, one question racing through your mind right now is what and what spring transitional items to add to the closet,especially if you’re looking to switch things up while still staying basic. Well, today we’ll be showing off three simple yetfashionable spring transitional items you can squeeze into your wardrobe without breaking a sweat.  The Tularosa Willow top is that simple-chic top that shouldn’t be missing in your spring closet collections.It’s a mist blue v-necked top that effortlessly accentuates those sexy collarbones and shapes.I mean, when is the best time to flaunt those well-built, slender, necklines if not during the absolute perfect spring weather. Of course!  In Spring, we’re naturally more concerned about putting on clothing that’d regulate our temperature while allowing adequate airflow.Well, this Tularosa Willow top checks the list in this criterion. The ruched jersey fabric assures you absolute comfort every time of the day,even under the slightest hot weather. Perfect, right? Depending on the look you want to create, this elegant bodycon topwith ruched drawstrings on both sides can be effortlessly paired with some of your favorite bottoms;suit pants, pleated skirt, penciled midi skirt, or even jeans. One thing is certain; however you pair it,you’re sure to always step out oozing intense boss-lady confidence from side to side. This little pretty thing here happens to fall under the trendy cutout design GenZ’s,including millennials, are constantly raving about. In fact, it has become a must-have in this generation’s fashion world.As a trendy fashion queen, you’re missing out on this chic showoff if a cutout design isn’t in your closet. The Polina Cutout top is a lightweight, brownish snake print, long-sleeves that can be bodied in various creative styles.My favorite way of styling this would be with high-waist jeans, layered with a sleeveless long coat jacket (that’s if you want to go all the way)or with Jean-cut shorts. Always a killer look for a beachside brunch with the girls! One thing peculiar about the Polina Cutout top is the striking print that is completely a compliment bait.Animal skin-like prints are always a bold fashion statement so copping this for Spring isn’t a miss at all. If there’s any fashion print that would never go out of trend in many years, then it’d be polka dots.Polka dots have been around for a very long time now and as years go by,it seems to be frequently adopted and designed into several creative fashion wear.Luckily, here’s a navy blue polka dots dress you can rock this Spring! It’s made of luscious satin fabric, clearly appropriate for the season,with a cuffed hem and down string elastic waistband that holds firmly on your waist.With the right paring and a few correctly chosen accessories, you will quickly be able to pull off a really stunning Spring outfit. Generally, if you ever wish to suspend your full-length jeans and suit pants for a moment andgive your lovely legs some refreshing spring air, then this Evelynn Midi Dress is perfect for you.Super comfy and blends with almost every pair you can imagine.
