Unconventional Beauty Tool: Humidifier

10 Dec

Froggy Humidifier

Fab Fur Friday!

Mink Fur Chevron Black and White Coat 60's : $650

Tis’ the season for warm coats and thick hats to keep the chill away and my obsession with fur is getting out of control. I can’t keep my hands off of the vintage fur on the racks of my local thrift depot, it’s all so very nostalgic not to mention super warm. Perhaps it’s the embroidered initials on the inside satin lining, or the individuality of each pelt. Either way, I wanted to share how unique and stylish real fur is. So why not have a peek at some trendy, authentic fur coats, all of which are on Etsy. There is an assortment of styles and eras to peruse in the fur category. The vintage selection is wild, the items range from 1920′s up to the 1990′s couture . I trust this site simply for its genuine listings and easy purchases! AMAZING!
If you aren’t a fur lover, this may not be a favorite of yours,  but there will be a faux fur post, don’t you worry!

The argan oil infused in her products is known as “liquid gold”, and works wonders on skin, hair, cuticles, and rough patches.

Leg Warmers in Action

1 Dec

I mentioned in my Sheer Trending November post that I’ve been loving legwarmers, but not quite sure how to accessorize them. I did some research last night and found some cute ideas, here’s my first round-about with them before class today:

Xhiliration Sparkle Legwarmers

I’ve only worn legwarmers once –to yoga class– but I wanted to find a sneaker to appropriate them with since I can be a sneaker whore (and in case I want to have another legwarmer rem-devue at LA Fitness). The End!
