Perfect holiday look.

Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. I love the cookies and chocolate bark, Christmas songs, ugly (but funny) Christmas sweaters, decorations, cheesy Christmas movies, and most of all... acting like Mrs. Claus. I mean, there's nothing like shopping for your family and friends, and watching their face light up as they unwrap the perfect gift. 

Whether you're shopping for a man or a woman, you can't go wrong with accessories. And why not something timeless like a hand-crafted wood watch? Wood watches from JORD scream luxury without breaking the bank. All of JORD watches are made from authentic wood and come in many different styles to match any of your stylish friends/family members. 

And if you order in the next three hours, you can get your watch just in time for Christmas. So what are you waiting for?

Anna Sui cosmetics.

I have always been a fan of the vibrant, colorful ads and fashion runway shows of one of the top 5 fashion icons of the decade, Anna Sui, so when I was asked to test out some products from her cosmetics line, you can imagine I was beyond thrilled!

Where to begin?! First and foremost, can we please please please talk about the beautiful packaging?! The makeup palette I have literally made me have a Marie Antoinette moment with the beautiful floral decor outside of the compact and the beautifully shaped eye shadows and lip gloss/cheek stain (multi-functional is always a plus).

And can we talk about the lipstick itself?! If the shooting star bullet shape isn't enough to gravitate you to this product, the creamy consistency will win you over! The lipstick literally melts on to your lip for a smooth application. And like the other products, the faint smell of rose is definitely a pleasant treat. 

My absolute favorite product, I have to say is the hair color chalk set that will be sold online starting November. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I change the color of my hair quite frequently. I've had red, pink, blonde, grey- pretty much every color of the rainbow. For those who have bleached hair before, you can relate with me in that literally my hair felt like hay and I lost a lot of strands during the long, tedious process each session. Thankfully, this chalk gives me the freedom to instantly color my hair without damaging it. And unlike other hair chalks out there, this one has a creamy, nonstick formula that spreads smoothly on to your hair.
Which product are you most excited to try? Leave a comment below!

Street style approved.

From my experiences of attending fashion week in New York, Miami and Toronto, "street style" isn't always about going overboard with colors, patterns and the works, sometimes simply adding on some accessories can easily vamp up your every day look. 

There's nothing like an on-trend pair of sunglasses to get you started. My favorite are these fashion-forward, mirrored sunglasses from polette (only $18.99, what a steal) that add an instant touch of cool to any look. And of course, I had to top it off with this summer's hottest trend of "off the shoulder tops" and a fun, neon pink bucket bag from Rebecca Minkoff (on sale now at Bloomies :D) because why not?!
