Tis The Season For Sparkle!

 'Tis the season for sparkly statements!  It's that time of year when wearing glitter and shine makes you stand out from the crowd.  The Holidays is the perfect time of year to bring your sequins out of your closet.  Here are a few rules to stick by to ensure you look Fabulous and not like another Christmas tree.

 

1. Be Ironic - Pair a sequin sweater or jacket with a pair of distressed denim.  The will make your outfit look effortless and like you're not trying too hard.  You can also pair a sequin sweatshirt with a casual skirt or vice versa..... pair a sequin skirt with a cable knit sweater.  This is a fun way to be casual and dressy all at the same time!

 

2. Mix It Up - Use different textures and levels of casualness.  Pair a sequin pant with a silk top or jersey top.  You can also pair a sequin top with a baggy trouser.  Make sure and mix your fabrics and your prints to give yourself an elevated look.
 

 

3. Accessorize - Sequin heels/flats or a sequin clutch added to any outfit might just be the perfect amount of sparkle.  This is where you can add bright versions of gold, silver & bronze to really make them pop next to your casual attire.
 

 

4. Matted Sequins -   Shiny in spirit but low in luster! Afraid of sparkle? Wear your sequins in a matte finish and you won't go wrong!

What's On Your Coffee Table?

 



A coffee table is a key element to any living space.  It is usually one of the first items purchased for a room besides the sofa.  Whether your coffee table is a one-of-a-kind, a DIY project, or from Target, it is worth taking the time to style.  It will become the centerpiece of the room.

Keep the following in mind while accessorizing your coffee table.....

• Natural Elements:  bring the outdoors in(succulents, flowers, drift wood).
• Candlelight:  adds ambiance to any room.
• Books: entertainment for guest. 
• Decorative Accents:  to add interest.
• Box/Tray:  storage(remotes, candle lighter, cocktail napkins).

Where You'll Find Me, Part Two.....

 

It's cold outside, but even if it's not, every home needs a place where they curl up.  I often retreat to my settte for a cup of coffee and a good read with my dog, Breaker nestled at my feet.  This is the perfect spot to unplug as much as I can from my day.  What could be better?

  



Best Night Creams

If we lived in a world where money didn't matter this is the night cream that every woman would own.  La Mer Cream was created more than four decades ago by a Nasa scientist trying to treat his own chemical burns. It is definitely a miracle broth....... after a couple uses you will see that your skin becomes softer, firmer, looks virtually creaseless. Aging lines and pores are noticeably less visible. Even the driest of complexions are healed and sensitivities are soothed.   I use it sparingly when my skin is looking thirsty and oh does my skin love!  It sells for about $275 for a 2oz jar.  If you only use it during the winter months your skin will thank you.

But........ if your wallet is calling for a cheaper night cream here are my top picks!

Origins has a night cream that I'm quite found of.  Called Night-A-Mins this cream is fortified with a system of time-released resurfacers plus minerals, moisture-rich replenishers, and vitamins C, E, and H. Relaxing aromas lull you to sleep and skin sloughs away dry, dead layers.  What I like is how this is also a rich cream so my skin feels replenished in the a.m.

Origins Night-A-Min Cream $40

Hope in a Jar night cream is another top choice voted by many.   Even the driest skin types should see an improvement in fine lines and smoothness within a few weeks of using this cream, said Elizabeth Tanzi, M.D., a dermatologist in Washington, D.C. It delivers a powerful yet tolerable dose of glycolic acid to remove dead skin and bring a fresh layer to the surface.

 Olay Regenerist night cream offers a great bang for your buck.  This formal has been around for years and has been a top favorite for years.  It's known for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 4 weeks.

Korres Greek Yoghurt sleeping facial cream is food for thought...and your face! Greek Yoghurt goes from the fridge straight to your skin, with the Korres Greek Yoghurt Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial, a protein-enriched, hydrating cream that works overnight to smooth and soften your complexion.  Go ahead give it a try!

A friend recently told me about the healing powers of Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream.  Recommended and used because of its all-natural pure super healing ingredients and its phenomenal results. Even pharmaceutical companies secretly acknowledged that products derived from all pure natural living sources are better than those products derived from chemicals. Today, scientists in the Amazon are finding the most powerful solutions from the rain forest.  Used by Kate Hudson, Rachel Zoe and endless celebrities this is one I will definitely be investing in.
