My dear readers,

First and foremost, sorry for being MIA for such a long time. Since the last post, I’ve dealt with a loved one’s preparation for and recovery from surgery, a move halfway across the country from Los Angeles to Chicago, the drama of the move, and getting used to a new city. So I apologize for not updating more as everything was chaotic for the first few weeks here! But, this blog will be like a well-oiled machine now!

You'll be glad to know that I’m in love with Chicago. The weather doesn’t beat LA though, but I do love the people’s appreciation of good weather here. I’ve been enjoying numerous street fairs/festivals since the warm weather arrived. It’s a great way to mingle, discover the city, and have fun!

Well, here’s what I’ve been wearing lately! What are you doing this summer?

ps. Don't forget the sunscreen!

With hearts, 

Janet

FACE it: Ole Henriksen - Invigorating Night Cream and Pure Perfection REVIEW

I've been obsessed with skincare since sophomore year of college. While I thought it was just a phase I was going through, it turns out I'm still and moreso obsessed with it six years later. I've especially grown to love skin products that use natural ingredients because the thought of putting substances I can avoid on my face is kinda scary. That's where Ole Henriksen comes in.

I heard about this line and became absolutely interested because it's free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, phthalates, GMO, and triclosan. While there's no immediate cause for concerns with these chemicals, the thought of putting something that's considered an antifungal (or can be used as a pesticide) (triclosan) on my face is a bit off-putting. However, triclosan is good in toothpaste where it can prevent gingivitis! It's just all about where you're putting it!

OK, so away from the tangent, I had previously tried Pure Perfection, the moisturizer. Being a jaded skincare consumer I tried it not really thinking it would do something. But I woke up the next morning and immediately my first reaction was to feel my face. GUESS WHAT? It was super duper soft and smooth. I LOVED IT.

Anyways, upon the advice of the Ole Henriksen twitter, I decided to try the Invigorating Night Cream as well. So I woke up the next morning and, again, instantly felt my face. It was soft and smooth. It felt and looked firm. There was even a glow! I'm in love!! So if you're looking for a new moisturizer to try, give Ole Henriksen a shot!!

Happy moisturizing!!

Janet

Friday FAVES

It's been a busy Friday for me...simply, a tiring week! There's so much to do and what better way than to escape a little with sone online window shopping! Here's a round up of all the cute things I love!

1. CLOTHES: Opening Ceremony with their awesome take on this season's trend of perforated patterns and florals.

2. THE SPARKLY: Dannijo Jewelry never fails to amaze me because their pieces are always colorful, whimsical, but still elegant!

3. THE SHOES: I've been around Stuart Weitzman shoes since the days of my first job at Nordstrom. They were always elegant and appealing. The capsize is gorgeous with its trendy mint color and has badass attitude with the metal detailing. I love that there's a flats version for the days you want to give your feet a well deserved break! The pink and orange wedges appeals to me just because I love those colors and it just makes any beachy summer outfit pop!

4. THE STORAGE: Rebecca Minkoff recently has captivated me with her bags that are so pretty and can somehow seem edgy! I really love them and their ability to mix color/patterns/textures!

Check them out! What's on your wish list and what do you have planned for this weekend??

Happy ogling!

With hearts,
Janet

THURSDAY THROWDOWN: NOTORIOUS BIG x LANA DEL REY

Alexander McQueen loose racerback tank top, £155
Sequin skirt, $120
Pamela Mann sheer black stocking, $14
Black heel sandals, $142
Jones New York gold plated jewelry, $50
Dannijo jewelry, $545

I love love love mashups, especially when it involves Notorious B.I.G. This recent mashup of Lana del Rey and Notorious BIG, BORN READY TO DIE, is pretty good, but it can't beat the one with the xx from a while back... What's your favorite mashup?

Anyways, in the midst of listening away, I got inspired by what I'd wear if I'd ever go to a concert where these two would be performing...I know, impossible! I'm seriously in love with Dannijo's necklace...so statement and so colorful/whimsical. I'd definitely wear red lipstick if I'd ever meet Lana del Rey, which brings me to Tom Ford's lipstick in the perfect red shade. Enjoy the set!

Happy Listening!

With hearts,
Janet
