SAINT LAURENT

I've been obsessively wearing leather pants and boots lately. Well..., really it's these particular boots and pants that I've been keeping on heavy rotation for the past few weeks. Suppose I'm going through one of my edgier, tailored phases and this combo seems to be the winning pairing at the moment. So, I'm just rolling with it!:)

CAPED CRUSADER

Good morning and happy Saturday, Everyone! Hope you're all enjoying your weekend! I just wanted to say a quick hello and share a few images of my latest obsessions, starting with the uber cozy Club Monaco poncho I've added to my outwear collection recently. Chic, yet very warm and comfy, what I love about this piece the most is the fact that I can wear it in a multitude of ways. Today I opted to pair it with slouchy jeans and ankle boots, but it would look just as great with flared jeans or knee-high boots for example. Basically, the possibilities are endless, and of course you know how much I love that!:)

CAMEL COATED

As far as I'm concerned, accessories make or break an outfit... Ok, maybe not break but they definitely make outfits a little more interesting:)! Take today's look for example, a classic camel and black combo gets a touch of drama thanks to a pair of studded booties and a bright red bandana. Sure, I could have gone with a neutral-hued scarf like brown, cream or gray for example, but I rather like that unexpected pop of red precisely because it takes this look away from the neutral territory and makes it a bit more special:) What do you guys think?

BURGUNDY SUEDE

Yet another one of my outfits comprised entirely of all the things I am completely and totally obsessed with! Take this beautiful trench coat for example, sure, I am more than a little partial to trenches in general, but this suede perfection takes trench coats to the next level! As far as I'm concerned, suede is the ultimate leather of choice for pretty much everything. It adds just the right touch of texture and transforms even the simplest of pieces into statement makers. Yet, what I particularly adore about this trench, is the fact that it's made from light-as-air, buttery-soft suede that moves. And though I certainly appreciate a certain degree of stiffness for some suede items like jackets for example, in this case, the cut and soft suede work synergistically to create a piece that is both slightly casual and decidedly polished. Naturally, I absolutely love that!

PASTELS & POM POMs

Emil and I spent the weekend in Venice, California, wondering about Abbot Kinney, exploring our favorite shops, eating out and just enjoying the warm weather! Packing for our mini staycation got me thinking about how my favorite basics changed over the years. Though my fondness of high heels will never go away completely, lately, I find myself reaching for a pair of comfy sneakers whenever I put together a casual look. And the same philosophy extends to clothing. Sure, whenever I dress up, tailored, polished and embellished is still what I generally prefer. But on my days off, cozy comfort is what I crave, which believe it or not, is a big chance considering my old casual uniform consisted of jeans, blazers and heels:)

GETTING GRAMMY-READY WITH OLAY

So, I have some really amazing news to share with you! Guess who will be attending the Grammys this year and partnering with Olay to get me looking my very best!:)

Can't tell you how excited I am! Obviously I love getting really dressed up and getting my hair and make up done, but hearing some of my favorite artists perform live is definitely icing on the cake!

My partnership with Olay began with a personalized skin consultation at an Olay Lab. The main purpose of this consultation was to check how my skin is doing and diagnose some of the areas that still need improvement! Though as I have mentioned before, I am pretty diligent about taking care of my skin, I still struggle with a few issues like dryness around my eye area and cheeks and redness around my nose and cheek area. Yet, I have not been able to find products that would address all of my concerns at once.

Honestly, when I found out that I was going to have a skin consultation at the Olay Lab, I did not know what to expect. I'm not going to lie, having my skin examined up close by the professionals was a bit scary too. I arrived at the Lab early in the morning ready to learn about how my skin was doing. I met the Olay scientists who were going to work with me, and we dived right into the testing. They took photos of my face with a special machine which then showed everything that was going on: from sun damage to amount of moisture in my skin. The good news, is that overall my skin appears to be in a pretty good shape, but of course there is always room for improvement! After my consultation, I've learned that some of the areas that needed help were the moisture levels, as well as my skin's ability to retain water.

To address these issues before they started to affect the way my skin looks the scientists at the Olay Lab recommend a regiment consisting of 3 products: Regenerist Regenerating Cream Cleanser, Regenerist Micro-Sculpting cream moisturizer and Regenerist micro-sculpting swirl eye cream.

At this point, I've been using these 3 products morning and night for about a month now. What I really like about this new routine is that it is really quick and simple, basically it takes me less than 5 minutes start to finish but also the fact that I am already seeing great improvements. Aside from the fact that my skin looks and feels much softer and smoother, one of my favorite changes actually happen to the under eye area. After using Regenerist micro-sculpting swirl eye cream, I've noticed that the area under my eyes looks much smoother and that the dark circles I am usually sporting thanks to staying up way past my bed-time, have started to diminish! YAY! Also, Regenerist Micro-Sculpting cream moisturizer is really helping with the redness. I knew that lack of moisture resulted in dry skin, but I didn't realize that the redness I was struggling with was also due to low moisture levels in those particular areas. So now that I started to moisturize day and night with Regenerist Micro-Sculpting cream moisturizer, those blotchy, red spots are virtually gone and my skin looks much more even!:) So, definitely super excited to see these changes!

P.S. I'm going to continue using my 3-step regiment and keep you guys posted on my progress! So stay tuned!:)

POKER FACE

Don't you love it when all your current favorites just happen to go together? Cause you know me, when I love something, the urge to wear it over and over again is borderline obsessive! Seriously, I get so attached, I don't want to wear anything else and of course being able to combine all the things I currently love in a single outfit, is a cherry on top!
