Monday Must Have - Ultra Repair Cream

This weeks Monday Must Have is First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream. I bought a small tube of this in the day after Thanksgiving sale at Sephora. I loved it instantly. It feels so good on my face, hands, and feet. The lotion is without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. It is also without petroleum and it contains colloidal oatmeal which helps with eczema. I suffer from eczema and I have noticed it has not irritated my skin or caused my eczema to flare up. This lotion does not really have a scent and it does not leave the skin feeling greasy. Let me know if you try it or if you are already using it what you think. I look forward to trying some more products from this brand.

Fashion Favorites of 2014

I love everything about fashion. I love putting together outfits in new ways. I love adding a new accessory to completely change a look. I love how you can put stilettos with jeans for a night out or flip flops for a day in the mountains. These are a few of my favorites from the year. I could talk about fashion all day I have narrowed it down to a few of my staples.

1. JCrew Factory GiGi Pants. These pants are amazing. They have a fit like a legging, but they are thick like a pant. The look great with tall boots or high heels. I hope to wear them this summer with flats or sandals. I definitely recommend getting a pair of these pants.





2.  Toms. I bought my first pair of Toms this year, then after I got them, I bought my second pair of Toms. I plan in the Spring to buy my third pair of Toms. I love these shoes. They look really cute with skinny jeans or shorts. I tend to wear them a lot with yoga pants on casual days. I also wear them to the baseball field in the spring most weekends.


 

3.  Denim Vest. I finally found a denim vest that I liked this year. I wear them mainly with maxi dresses and sleeveless shirts. I feel they make maxi dress more office appropriate. They also add some style to a sleeveless shirt and khakis. I linked to one on Amazon that is similar to the one I purchased from Old Navy.

 

 

4. Maxi Dress. I wore maxi dresses almost everyday this spring and summer. They are so comfortable and so easy. They can be dressed up with a scarf or jewelry or just worn casual. I am sure everyone loves them as much as I do. I do wish they were not always so long. It is hard to find them to fit me.

 

 

 

4.  Tall Boots. I love my riding boots in the fall and winter. These are not new to my wardrobe, but I do feel they are a fashion favorite of the year. They look great with dresses, skinny jeans, and leggings. I love to wear them with boot socks or leg warmers. They are a must for every wardrobe.

 

 

 

5. Scarves. My must have for every season is scarves. They add something extra to any outfit. I often wearing a t-shirt and jeans with a nice scarf. I also love to wear maxi dresses with a scarf and denim vest or jacket.

 

 

 

6. Stilettos. I could not honor my blog name without having stilettos as a fashion favorite. These have been my favorite since I could walk. There is something about a good pair of stilettos that make you feel good about yourself.  I especially love nude heels.

 

 

 

These are my fashion favorites for 2014. It was hard to narrow it down because I love all fashion so much, but these are my wardrobe must haves. Thanks for reading let me know your must haves.

 4. Bobbi Brown BB Cream. This is my favorite of all time BB Creams. I have not tried many high end bb creams but I have tried a lot of drug store brands. This bb cream has light coverage with SPF of 35. I wear this alone on days I am not wearing a full face of makeup. I also enjoy wearing this when I am going to be outdoors.

6. Nars Orgasm Blush. I bought this blush at the beginning of the year. I know I am really late to get this product. I love it. It gives your skin a nice glow. There is some shimmer, but I like shimmer. I like anything that brightens up my dry skin.

Monday Must Have - Nirvana

My Monday Must Have this week is Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black and White. I ordered this fragrance during the Sephora's VIB sale. I ordered the small rollerballs to test out the fragrance and I'm in love. I have added both scents to my Christmas list. I am going to use the Sephora's description of the scent notes because I'm not good at describing fragrances. The Nirvana Black has notes of violet, sandlewood, and rich vanilla. It is sensual, warm, and mysterious. The Nirvana White has notes of peony, muguet, and tender musk. It is sophisticated, feminine, and captivating. 

Lets know what your Monday Musthave is.....
