Roseanna

I recently came across the Spring/Summer campaign images of new-to-me French retailer, Roseanna. The images have me craving warmer weather and I love the effortless style that is so quintessentially French. Just had to share! Shop the full collection here.

Friday

Is it just me or did this week drag? Friday’s finally here! Here are a few things that I enjoyed this week:

+ I think we’ll all be pretty happy if this is true.
+ I made this amazing dish this week and it was delicious. Make it! You won’t regret it.
+ Excited for this to launch soon.
+ If I ever go back to school I will have to have one of these.
+ Shopbop has some amazing markdowns right now. I’m loving this skirt by Torn by Ronny Kobo, this pretty basic by Wilt, and I love this entire Rachel Pally look.
Have a great weekend!

A few comfy items I’m liking currently — I’m coveting a pair of New Balance sneaks, perfect for running around in the city. Also love anything Helmut Lang right now. Read my review of that Aesop hand balm here.

Happy Wednesday!

 

Three Beauty Products

I wanted to share three beauty products that are getting me through the cold weather. There are a few tools and products that I turn to as my skin and hair seem totally different depending on the months — here are a few that I’ve been using recently.

ONE | Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Balm | This balm is so good for my hands that get so, so dry in the winter. Especially with how often I wash them {London underground hands, ew} which completely strips any moisture that my hands have. This balm is extremely thick, it takes a while for the skin to absorb it but it keeps my skin so soft. It also smells amazing. very natural and earthy.

TWO | Shu Uemura Silk Bloom Treatment Masque | My hair dresser recommended this to me when I was asking him about getting a keratin treatment done on my hair. He said that the keratin would make my hair too flat and I wouldn’t like it. This was suggested as an alternative to the keratin treatment {and when you’re comparing costs, this masque is a bargain versus the full keratin treatments}. I use this once a week on my hair. There was a noticeable difference the first time I used it {my hair didn’t turn into a NatFro at the first sign of humidity, it kept it’s shape and was really soft} but the more I use it the healthier and stronger my hair gets. It also smells delicious! I will keep buying this, it’s definitely the best treatment I’ve found for my giant, frizzy hair and the price is totally worth it.

THREE | Burberry Fresh Glow Fluid in Golden Radiance | Skin can tend to get a bit ashy in the winter months. I mix this in with my foundation {just a little bit goes a long way} to add in a little more color and a fresh, dewey look. I love it! I wouldn’t recommend it for very oily skin as it could start to look greasy — mine tends to be dry so it works ok for me.

What about you? What beauty products do you incorporate into your routine for winter?

Weekend

Happy weekend! What are you up to? I think we’re heading to this exhibit, doing some cleaning {still catching up from our long trip back to the US}, and studying a little French. I promise I’ll be posting more regularly coming up — between my site being re-designed and my feed not working properly I’ve felt a little blah about everything, but I’m excited to get things updated for a fresh start.

A few links to peruse over your Saturday and Sunday:

+ Cara, sneakers, and everything that was the Chanel Spring 2014 Couture runway show.
+ Anyone who takes public transport regularly will find these hilarious.
+ Totally intrigued by this concept.
+ Breakfast ideas to fuel your mornings.
Have a great weekend!
