Menswear Inspired

The end of summer is here, and it is a time when many are uninspired and/or do not want to invest in any new warm weather clothing. Me included. I am so bored with my wardrobe, and it happens everytime a new season is right around the corner. I mix and match items to make my outfits more interesting and fun to wear…doing this really does make a big difference. I feel like a broken record because I mention this in every other blog post, but when I mix things up, I like to pair feminine items with more rocker-chic pieces or in this case, menswear inspired items.

If you’re more a girly girl (like me), you probably have lacy tops, frilly skirts, florals etc. in your closet. Pair one of these items with something menswear inspired (see the juxtaposition here?) and you’ve already got yourself a not so basic outfit. Here I paired a lacy top, a menswear inspired vest, and distressed denim for a more personalized and juxtaposed look. WOW did that sound like I take my style way, way too seriously! Promise I’m not that big of a self-important asshole. An added bonus of a vest is that it helps cover big boobs – my favorite part!

living in your core values is where the magic happ living in your core values is where the magic happens ✨

When how you live matches your values, life is usually joyful. When your existence doesn’t align, that’s a sign that you are living in your acquired values.

freedom
fitness

swapping out my black accessories for other colors makes me so happy & lovvve these sunglasses as one of my first replacements (Spring seasons look best in warmer/lighter/brighter colors vs black).

if you can’t go more than a day without washing if you can’t go more than a day without washing your hair (like me), let me introduce you to this 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner combo that is truly so nourishing 🪄🧴 
@hairstorystudio NEW WASH was developed because most shampoos weaken the hair and strip out vital oils since most rely on detergent. New Wash is a cleanser but doesn’t contain any detergent & has a proprietary blend of essential oils & saturated cleansers. 
My hair is never greasy after using it and my dry AF scalp loves it! I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and I’m truly impressed by how nourishing it is for both my hair + scalp. ✨

I love trying new products and these are some ✨new✨faves of mine I have to share with you:

@saintjanebeauty lip oil: love a high-shine gloss and this is ITTT. It’s actually called a lip oil which did scare me before trying it, but really just feels like a gloss. It’s not greasy at all. the sparkly pink is my fave 💖 

@herbivorebotanicals moon fruit: calling all pregnant/breastfeeding mamas! this product is a retinol-alternative serum that's clinically-proven to treat signs of aging with 1% bakuchiol + plant peptides. I started using it a few months ago and really love it. I do miss retinol (still breastfeeding) but this is a gentler option. 

Burdock oil: I had no idea about this oil until I researched ingredients for the best scalp treatment and this is one of the ingredients I use in my DIY scalp treatment. However I’ve also been using it on my face to double cleanse because it is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. 

@lysbeautyofficial blush: this is the color humble and it’s the prettiest orangey pink which is fab for summer. I’m a cream blush convert because it’s so much more natural looking than powders. & this one is matte, so it won’t look greasy ✨
Your most beautiful life is meant to bring out you Your most beautiful life is meant to bring out your core values. 
I’ve always had a vision for my most beautiful life. But with anything, it needed some refinement (as with everything in life).
Since I have become deeply entrenched in coaching, I have been able to identify my core (vs acquired) values to be able to design my day/life. 🌸 
Some questions to ask yourself to do the same:

I’m your dream day, what are you wearing? 
What values are you living by?
What does your environment look and feel like?
Where do you live?
What activities bring you energy?
