Do you have the time?

Pin It Now!

Good evening!

I recently decided to spurge on myself and get a new timepiece. Looking at my phone for the time, is not practical in certain situations. So through extensive internet window shopping on a snowy afternoon I found this watch on the Urban Outfitter's online store.

Around the World Leather Watch- 39$


It is the perfect accessory. Perfect for everything, the leather band is a nice addition as well.


I love my chamomile 

The watch also has a special meaning to me, to remind me the world is wide open and ready to be explored by me. It is definitely a staple of my wardrobe now. What do you think? Are you looking for a new watch?

Stay Chic,

Snowsport Favorites- 4 Essential Products

Pin It Now!
Hello Ladies!

If you don't already know I am a HUGE skier, and I'm bummed that the season is almost over. However, I know that the snow is still up in many other parts (I'm looking at you Rockies) so I felt that this article was needed. Here are my essential go-to products for skiing, or any winter sport in general. 



1. Tarte Amazonian clay BB tinted moisturizer 


This BB/tinted moisturizer from Tarte was an excellent addition to my bag this winter. The formula is lightweight and blends excellently. It keeps my skin from being chapped and moisturized when I am whizzing down the mountain. It has antioxidants as well, so I know I'm giving my wind chapped skin some TLC. Most importantly it is SPF 20 and oil-free.
I know, I know we aren't at the beach, why the SPF? At higher altitudes where the air is thinner, your skin is less protected against harmful and aging UV rays, not to mention reflection of the snow. Protect your skin and SPF up!

2. Maybelline One by One Volume Express (Waterproof)


I like this mascara because it withstands my day at the slopes. It holds out whether I'm in heavy snow or even a light rain. The bristles catch all my lashes and accentuates them, so I can show off my eyes to the cute stranger riding up the lift with me.

3. Blistex Lip Medex


Okay, this has to be my number one item for a day at the slopes. I am notorious for getting cracked, bleeding, painful lips and a day on the mountain makes it worse. This lip balm restores my moisture balance and cools my lips. Essential for windy days at the top of the mountain or bowl. I have been using this since I can remember, my mother used to put it on me before I would go out.

Even Mittens loves it!


4. Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture, Combination Skin


MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE! Put this on before and after the slopes. Your skin is very delicate, so give it some care. This is a good lightweight, oil free formula, and I layer it under my BB cream. Even if you have oily skin (like me), always apply moisturizer, never skip! This way, your skin doesn't have to over produce sebum (which it naturally does when exposed to wind or other harsh drying conditions). Trust me, it is in your best interests.


Use these and go shred up some diamonds!
The best views are from the diamonds after all.

New Obsession!- Sephora Cream Lip Stain

Pin It Now!
Hello Ladies!

Today I will be reviewing one of my newest purchases from Sephora! This is part of their cream lip stain collection, and it is fantastic. Here is the color I will be showing you:

06-Forever Fuschia

Can I just say how in love I am with this color? The lip stain is fabulous.

The applicator allows for super easy application without streaking or missing a spot, almost like applying a gloss. Like most lip stains, you have to prep your lips with chapstick first because once it drys, the matte finish can give the appearance of chapped lips.

I'm addicted to the color

Which brings me to the third thing I love about this product, the matte finish. The matte finish is very mature and glamorous without looking overdone. This stain wears for a very long time, and I only had to touch up once in 8 hours.

This bright fuschia color is extremely "in" right now, for example the lovely Zooey Deschanel, you might recognize this makeup she had for the 2012 Emmy Awards.

2012 Emmys, Zooey Deschanel
And we cannot forget about the gorgeous Emma Stone

Emma Stone looks ultra-feminine in those graphic lips.


If the bright color scares you off, don't run away yet, Sephora has many other more subtle colors in this collection. (I can't wait to stock up on some more)

What do you think of this new bold trend? Comment below

New Obsession!: Chubby Sticks by Clinique

Pin It Now!
Hey Ladies!

So I'm going to review one of my new obsessions tonight! The Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm!


So many great colors that are flattering for everyone!


I got this baby last week, and it has been fantastic! It glides on easily and the shape is like a crayon, so fun application. The color is perfect, and unlike some lipsticks it's not heavy or weighs down your lips. Because it is moisturizing it hides chapped lines on your lips for nice, smooth color!


I have the stick above which is called "Woppin' Watermelon". It delivers a fresh, sheer pop of pink that is fun and girlie! The price is $16 but at the rate I'm going, it is going to last a long time.

Stay Chic,
