Pop of pink on a winter day

wearing: pink earrings / pink scarf / black sweater / studded handbag / wide leg jeans (old, also love this pair) / nail polish / boots /

A black top and a comfy pair of jeans is a common go-to look for many people. It is easy to put together and always looks chic. When I wear a black top and jeans, I always like to add a pop of another color. Lately, I have been in a pink mood, so I added a pop of pink!

This black sweater has become my go-to black top these fall and winter seasons. It is perfect to wear alone, or under a cozy down coat. As with any black top, it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. You may have seen me wear this sweater quite a bit this season! It will carry me through winter and spring and will get pulled out again for frequent wear next fall too. Love that! It’s all about investment dressing!

I recently wore this outfit for a ramen meal with my family. It was the perfect cozy look for a cozy meal. Love!

If you are looking for a cozy sweater priced well under $100, this is it!

Thanks for stopping by.

Chanel nail polish spring 2025 review

Chanel spring 2025 nail polish: Chanel Artiste / Chanel Poete /

A happy and cheerful spring nail polish collection is here! For the spring 2025 season, Chanel is giving us a cheerful, peachy hue named Chanel Poete as well as a minty green in Chanel Artiste. There is an upbeat vibe with the Chanel Spring 2025 nail polish collection. Love!

Chanel has given us two vibrant pastels for the spring season, and I am here for it! With a peachy hue for traditional nails, which works well in a conservative office environment, Chanel Poete nail polish is ideal for the traditionalist. If you want a more avant-garde vibe, Chanel Artiste nail polish offers an on trend, mint green which is fun to wear and plays well with spring’s color palette.

I tested both Artiste and Poete out with one base coat, and two coats of color. They are both cream nail polish formula’s which go on smoothly in two coats, without streaking. Love that!

So, without further ado, here is the Chanel nail polish collection for the spring 2025 season!

I am currently typing away in Chanel Artiste nail polish. I love this color and plan to wear it often. Of course, I will switch things up depending on my mood and activities, but Artiste is definitely my favorite spring nail polish color of the season. Love it!

Winter skin care must haves 2025

Winter skin care must haves: Nutrius body butter / L’Occitane hand cream / Sol de Janeiro body butter / Nutrius body butter / L’Occitane serum-en-creme / L’Occitane hand cream /

There is something very dry about winter; despite the rain, fog and snow! The heaters inside buildings and the wind outside all contribute to creating a dry environment. This means ensuring we use products which not only moisturize but create a barrier on our skin in order to protect us from the drying elements.

I alternate between several body creams/body butters. This is due to the fact that they have difference fragrances, so I wear the one with the fragrance which suits my mood that day! haha I love both Sol de Janeiro and Nutrius body butters. They are both fragrant and moisturizing. When I use them, I can tell there is a barrier on my skin which protects it from getting dry during the winter season. Love that!

In addition to the drying elements, constant hand washing can really take a toll on our hands. I love both of these hand creams by L’Occitane because they too protect and repair my dry skin during the winter season. Love!

So, if you are looking for something fragrant and protective, I got you covered!

Thanks for stopping by!
