All Natural Style

When I think of "all natural style," I immediately think of neutral tones, simple accessories, and clean lines. While I usually am adding on the layers and accessories with my clothes, my skin care routine is simple and natural, so when Lucky Community offered up the a free sample of boost serum for a challenge, I was all in! Seventh Generation Skin Serum is plant based and free of parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. After a brief survey, I was matched with the hydrating option that uses jojoba oil. It's a common misconception that oil begets an oily face -- an oily face actually means that your skin is dry. They recommend using the serum in conjunction with your daily moisturizer and so far I have noticed a significant difference - less oil, and more luminosity  As a freebie newbie, I sure hope that any product I'm asked to review is this awesome!

The Opposite Of

I went through a few different titles for this blog post, all of which were words I have never used to describe myself - unfussy, low maintenance, simple, etc. I know that for some of you a silk blouse, four inch heels, statement earrings, tuxedo blazer, and a beaded purse are the opposite of the words mentioned; however, this outfit is plain in comparison to the multiple accessories & layers, at least one pattern, red lipstick, or a belt around the waist that's part of my everyday. Ya gotta step outside the comfort zone every once in a while - maybe I'll even wear a plain tee in the next post!

Peachy Keen

 If someone asked me, "How you doing today?" I would sound a heck of a lot like Rizzo in "Grease" as I say, "Peachy keen, jellybean," with her signature snark.

Cold Shoulder

Well, I did it. I purchased an Equipment blouse and boy, oh boy, was it worth it! After realizing that peach is going to be my go-to neutral for fall (think of it with cognac, plum, mustard, teal, burnt orange, etc.), I had to start the search for a blouse that I could pair with all of those autumnal hues. So, I started scouring my usual suspects of XXI, ASOS, and J.Crew, but when I came up empty, I remembered this post by one of my favorite bloggers. And there it was, on shopbop.com, and the best part? It was on sale! The shopping gods smiled down on me and when that happens, you take advantage, my friends. Never turn a cold shoulder to an amazing blouse on sale, especially when it feels so exquisite on your skin. Literally, like butter
