2021 FASHION TRENDS TO INVEST IN!

Hello everyone,

Who here is ready for some FASHION? I ammmmm!🙌 (too excited, I can't even hide it!)

Wanna know what will be trending in 2021? What pieces we should invest in right from the beginning? Also, I've got the heads-up on the pantone color of the year. It's extra special because this time two colors will be a HIT in 2021 instead of just one. Any guesses which shades? 

I know in 2020 fashion was a bit repetitive and predictable because of Covid-19. It came unexpectedly, and with that, the last thing we really wanted to focus on is what we're wearing. There is no promise that 2021 will be any different, but it's good to hope, want and dream of being able to actually wear these trends. I want for us to be able to experiment with our looks just like old-times. Having our imagination run wild with various fabrics, plenty of accessories and fun details. 

Speaking of fashion trends, it's save to say that I love this time of year where the new comes in leaving the old behind. I get just as excited...seeing, reading everything that will help me apply the new trends into my own personal style. It's like starting a maze, with trial and error you're able to come to a happy outcome. 

Before I get deep into this post, I'm ready to spill-out the pantone colors of 2021. They are gray and bright yellow!💛

1. Neutrals 

Think in "earth tones" once the clock strikes 12:00...beige, ivory, taupe. These shades have been making a statement all-along, but this time even more. Full-on neutral monochromatic looks will be "a thing". For example, choose a cream shade and wear it from head to toe. The whole outfit will be a power statement within itself and people will most likely start to wonder what magazine you came from. 

This trend is like music to my ears because it's got all the positives. A monochromatic look has the ability to make you seem taller, slimmer and like you mean "fashion", if you know what I mean.😉

Will you be investing in any new neutral pieces?

    

2. Sweater Vest

Who remembers owning a sweater vest wayyyyy back. I hope I'm not the only one. I wore them lots as a child and guess what? They're bringing their "COOL" back in 2021. Literally, one of these understated pieces, which can be styled over dresses and blouses. I already know, this is a trend I will be investing in and soon sharing with you on here. 

I love the way a sweater vest adds a fun notch of layering. I mean, I love to play with layering. Any chance I get, I grab it! It can be styled under a coat or a blazer during these colder days.  

The sleeveless knit is taking 2021 by the horns. Love it or hate it, it will change our style in more than one way. How do you feel about this trendy piece?

   

3. Bold Prints

Are you ready to be BOLD in 2021?

Lots will be happening when it comes to fashion with the clashing of different prints. Mixing and matching is allowed, even highly encouraged. And size does matter! Remember, the bigger the print the more maximized you'll look. You can combine larger prints with neutrals for a more subtle and less intimidating vibe. A balance that will definitely work! Plus, you'll be rocking two significant trends in one.

One of the bold prints we'll be seeing very soon (spring time) is the "fantasy florals". The name represents new beginnings, which fits perfectly with our desire for starting fresh. I have always been a fan of florals. It's the one print I always go back to once spring/summer arrive. I can't help it! Florals mean a lot to me...make me so happy!

🌺

4. Wide-Leg Trousers

In 2021 we're going to transition from sweats into wide-leg trousers. The comfort is still there, but now we'll be looking a bit more put together. Bottoms that are practical and make a statement. This way we can simply ease into actually starting to wear pants again. YAY! And you know what, I think going for looser pants is going to be a breath of fresh air in the new year.   

One of my favorite ways to style them is with a crop cozy sweater. I like a wide leg trouser that is also high-waisted. What kind of trouser design do you envision wearing?

Don't forget, this style of pants is a gem because they elongate your legs and give you a few imaginary inches in height. So many reasons to love them!💗

      

5. Second-Skin Tops

To top off the 2021 fashion trends, we've got the second-skin tops. They're super stretchy and a perfect layering piece. I really love the classy mesh styles or the ones with turtleneck peeking out. I've got a zebra print top, which fits both criteria and I can't wait to style. How would you style yours?

These fashionable tops do really feel like a second layer of your skin. Makes you forget that you're actually wearing something! 😂

So how do you make this top look cool? By layering it...under a tee or with a sweater vest over it. I can always show you a few ideas in a future post, if that's something you would like to see?

 

So are you looking forward to trying these fashion trends in the new year? Which one are you MOST excited for?

HOSTING A HOLIDAY PARTY: TOP ESSENTIALS!

Hello everyone,

How will you be spending this holiday season? Are you or someone you know planning on hosting a 2020 appropriate (small) party? The happiest celebrations of the whole year must continue and bring us together. It's MY FIESTA...and you're invited to it!!!🥳

Today we're going to play the music loud, get dressed-up, give our table some holiday cheer, and most importantly, don't forget to shave the mustache...hahaha🤣(just kidding). I'm just testing you to see if you're still reading!

The holidays really are the most wonderful times for sharing laughter, memories, telling stories and being close to the ones you love. Don't forget to add yourself to the list first because you're just as valuable. I highly hope this post makes you excited! More so, I hope it gives you ideas on ways to decorate your dinner table or even ideas on what to gift someone who is hosting a party. Whether you're the guest or the attendee enjoy the moment, the time, the food, the people and the tequila shots. hahaha ARRIBA, ABAJO...( I'm sure you know the rest!). SALUD!🥂

To be honest, I haven't hosted a holiday party yet, but it would be a dream because I'm a dj at heart. I can turn up the party and know plenty of good music that can make others dance. Yessss, I said it! You can book me as a dj at this number...(XXX)-XXX-XXXX. But really, I like parties and connecting with others. This fuels me up to a point where it's hard to fall asleep later! hahaha🙊

Ok, enough about my many skills, let's get to the essentials you'll need to host your BEST party yet!

 

Before setting everything up, I would suggest having some kind of idea for the color theme of your table. What colors do you want to combine? I love red and gold together! Also, green and silver would compliment each other nicely. Choose shades that will make your guests feel the holiday spirit the minute they enter your home.

Here's the checklist of items you'll need:

~ Wine Bottle and Glass Rack

~ 2 Piece Christmas Tree Table Decor 

~ Snowman Plate For Holiday Sweets

~ Wine Glasses

~ Napkin Rings

~ Cheese Board 

~ Dessert Tray

~ Festive Placemats

~ Christmas Candle Holder    

Now that we have our checklist, we can focus on the details. For example, have some candles and festive ornaments or garlands at the center of the table. Turn it into a magical scene, which will bring joy and lightness to your home and everyone who's there. Then, set up the drinks, desserts and small bites. Here you can really express your creativity and love for the holidays.🎉 

When it comes to holiday decor, I'm one who might go a bit overboard with the decorations. The way I see it; you get the holidays only once during the year, so why not really go for it?! I can imagine I would be the same if I were to host a holiday party. How about you? Are you more classy, simple or do you like to keep it busy and fun? 

Also, you can see the look I came-up with right in time for the holidays. I'm definitely going to dress-up even if I end-up spending the holidays at home this year. I'm head over heels for tops with puffy sleeves. The bigger the sleeves the happier I get! Another favorite is leather. Chic, sexy and will never go out of style, so this high-waisted skirt without a doubt had to be part of the look. Do you know what you'll be wearing? If you want me to do a last-minute party outfit ideas post, do let me know.   

Happy Holidays from me to you!!!🎄 I hope these last few weeks of 2020 are merry and sweet for you and your loved ones!💕

KOREAN BEAUTY MAKEUP & SKINCARE FAVORITES!

Hello everyone,

For the longest time I have wanted to get more into Korean beauty. Wanna know why? Because their products are made of the MOST natural ingredients making them so popular and beneficial around the world. Their skincare and make-up products are very impressive, so much so that, once you try them you'll feel the difference. Suddenly, you might realize you have been missing out all this time, thinking "How did I live my life without K-beauty?" That's exactly the conclusion I came to when I dug deep into these few products I'm about to share with you.💯  

One of the things I find interesting is that Korea skincare isn't considered a luxury (unlike in other countries) because there is a big demand for it (huge population). That's why Korean companies make the best products at very affordable prices. It's both great quality and price in one! That's three reasons to smile...the third one being that here in the US we're also blessed with Korean beauty. Have you tried Korean products before and what brand is your favorite?

I'm super happy to experiment with Korean brands first hand because previously I have only heard good things about K-beauty. Now, I get to touch, smell and apply everything! And of course, later (actually, now) tell you ALL about it!!!😉 From the way it's used to the after effect! Are you ready to learn more about my Korean beauty favorites? 

I Dew Care Yoga Kitten Balancing Heartleaf Clay Mask 

I used this mask again last night and there are so many good things I can say about it. First, it absorbs excess oil and refines the skin. Secondly, it calms the complexion and detoxifies blemish-prone skin with the help of the real heartleaf extract. And thirdly, it's the kind of facial treatment you'll want to give yourself as often as you can because it feels SOOOOO GOOD! 

They suggest leaving the mask on for 10 minutes. However, since I love a relaxing nighttime facial, I usually enjoy it for 30 minutes. 10 minutes is way too short for me...I like to spoil myself!😂 hahaha

After I clean off the mask with warm water, I take my facial roller to massage my skin. I love this kind of stuff and can honestly say that I can do it every single day without ever getting bored. It's my "ME TIME"! And no one else's.

If you haven't tried Korean beauty before, this one product will make you fall in love with Korean skincare just the way it did to me. Give it a try and then we can gush over it together on Instagram!🤗

Kaja Beauty Bento Eyeshadows 

My next favorite is this creamy trio eyeshadow set. I've got the "Chocolate Dahlia", which are three different neutral shades. There are also warm pinks and bronze tones from which you can choose. 

I love it because I can easily apply just one color across my lid or combine all three. It's very simple since you don't really need a brush... often, I use my fingers to gently add some color to my eyes. Something quick especially if you're on the go and don't have a lot of time to get ready. 

The Kaja eyeshadows bring excitement to your day. Kaja means "Lets' Go" in Korean, creating a sense of enthusiasm wherever life takes you.😜      

Kaja Wink Stamp Eyeliners

I'm not one who prides herself on getting the perfect wing eyeliner. My line ends up looking like a road that's under construction, so you can imagine the help I need. Hallelujah for this duo; a double-ended stamp pen and liquid liner! They're the most clever invention ever because they make my road straighter and smoother. hahaha Not only that, but the time you save from creating your fierce eye wings should be recorded in the world records of Guinness.  

Here is how it works: Take your stamp pen and press firmly on the outer edge of your eye to create the desired wing. Then take your linear pen and draw in your line (make it as thick or thin as you like). Finally, connect the two lines for the ultimate wing look! Easy, breezy and like a true pro!😉  

I Dew Juicy Kitten Purifying Power-Green Serum 

This takes us to another Korean facial gem; a purifying serum, which feels like a freshly squeezed green juice for your skin. Why? Because it's got kale leaf, spirulina and chlorella. All the right nutrients to having a clear, beautiful skin throughout the season. 

I love it lots because a few drops go a long way. You can massage the skin afterwards and completely feel into "spa heaven". This sums up one of my daily happiness rituals on Earth. What's yours?

Have you tried any of these Korean products? What's one Korean brand I should check-out next?

Happy Thanksgiving!!!🦃 See you next week with a new post!😘

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE: WHAT TO GET YOUR BLOGGING FRIENDS!

Hello everyone,

The season of giving is upon us! 

With Thanksgiving on its way and then Christmas, it really is the most wonderful time of year to give back. I know this year will be slightly different, but we can still surprise our loved ones with a nice gift. Something that will say, "I'm thinking of you and appreciate you!". Your gift doesn't have to be only material. You can sing together over Zoom or prepare your dinners while chatting away on video chat. There are so many ways to stay connected and hopefully bring light and hope to the ones you care about.

This is the fist of many gift guides to come! And it's especially made for the blogger in your life. The one who spends way too much time in front of the screen and is constantly jotting down new ideas. Do you know someone like this? 

I do and thought it would be useful to give you some hints and gift ideas if you're having a difficult time deciding what to buy them. One word to remember when buying a gift for a blogger: CREATIVE! They're very creative, love beautiful artsy things and their desk area is more precious to them than their bedroom. Now, let's reveal...what I think any blogger would enjoy to receive!!!

1. Mini Flexible Tripod

2. "The City That Never Sleeps" Framed Print Wall Art

3. 2021 Year Planner

4. Drawer Desk Organizer

5. Cactus Neon Led Lamp

6. Polaroid Digital Camera

7. Leather Laptop Backpack

8. Pink Drip Coffee Maker

9. Fire HD 8 Tablet

10. EarPods with Lightning Connector

   

When thinking of what to buy a blogger, I think in this direction...coffee, technology and organization. We enjoy drinking a cup of coffee while writing the latest blog post, we smile at new technology that makes getting our work done easier/faster and we go head over heels when having our stationery essentials organized to a point where we know exactly where everything is. 

This gift guide has a bit of everything a dedicated blogger would enjoy. For example, a new camera or gadget to help improve his/her photography skills, a new yearly planner to brainstorm events and meetings for the upcoming year or a pretty wall art to bring inspiration everyday in tackling the desired goals. 

What gift will you be buying your blogger friend?

HOW TO WEAR THE OVERSIZED TREND!

Hello everyone,

Wonder how to wear the oversized trend? Luckily, you have stumbled upon this post because today we're going to get big (not physically, but stylishly), comfy, and chic. The whole purpose of the oversized trend is to look powerful and cool into loose-fitted clothing. It's one enjoyable, current popular trend, which gives you "lazy day" kind of vibes, but also works great in every possible way. Don't you think?

What's one thing that you love about this trend? For me, it's the ability to still have balance...meaning balancing-out the baggy piece with something else that hugs the body. For example, my favorite is definitely adding an oversized outerwear like a coat, jacket or cardigan and keeping everything else nice and fitted. For you, it might be the opposite, like wearing loose trousers while keeping the top "normal". Whatever you choose, you're perfectly right! I know I have found what best suits me and what I like MOST when it comes to oversized clothing.  

These outfit looks will be fall/winter appropriate, but I recall sporting this trend this past summer, so it's definitely one to incorporate into your style all year round. Often, I wear my camo baggy tee with biker shorts on the bottom. A simple, comfy outfit that I keep going to in the summer, especially on all the hikes we take. Did you try the oversized trend during the summer or are you looking to experiment with it this season? 

One thing is for sure...when sporting the oversized trend, the last thing you want is to drown in it. So, like I said earlier, try to pick just one piece to be extra loose (a size up from your original size.) For example, whenever I shop for jackets, I buy them in an L because I want that baggy effect, but also I know I will be layering it during the fall/winter, so I want to have space for movement. I think denim jackets are so cool and you can find really unique styles. They look awesome when oversized...like you're part of a funky old-school music video!🥳 

Also, don't forget the boyfriend blazer or actually anything in your boyfriend/husband's closet. Most likely, it will work and you don't have to spend the extra money. It's right there...all you have to do is ask your loved one with a kiss!💋 

Whenever I wear this trend, the one thing that worries me sometimes is loosing the feminine touch of my style. For that, I always make sure to add cute, dainty jewelry pieces. This is another tip that works because, let's be honest, if you overdo it with loose pieces, you can loose yourself in the clothing. We don't want that, so wear this trend the smart way!

I've got to know...what do you think of this trend and how would you wear it?

5 BEAUTY TIPS TO TRY THIS FALL!

Hello everyone,

Have you ever asked yourself, "How do I keep my skin beautiful and healthy even during the colder months?" As the air gets cooler, we can sense our skin getting drier, itchy. We can even notice signs of skin cracks. These are all unpleasant things that can keep your skin and confidence from smiling, so today is the day to help prevent them. 

Past years, I've had the experience of getting the most hurtful cracks on my hands to a point where they would bleed. It was even more painful when I would wash my hands because the cracks that have turned into wounds would sting from the water. I'm so happy this doesn't happen anymore, but to get to this point, I had to make a change in my diet and beauty routine. This is how the idea for this blog post came about. 

If you have a hard time keeping your skin feeling hydrated, I hope my skincare tips bring you a more positive outcome. Are you ready for your skin to happily glow this fall? ME TOOOOO!

On a side note, I've got to mention the incredible outcome of  wholesale cbd bath bombs, which completely moisturize the skin and make for one relaxing enjoyable experience. You'll fall in love with the quality ingredients, the fun shapes and vibrant colors. So Good!!!

In need of pain relief? Look to not just any cream, but a CBD cream that will target the source of pain and help in healing the area which is causing you the most discomfort. It's so effective! You'll definitely notice the difference in the way your body feels before and after using one of these creams.

Another super important factor to take into account is to keep your skin moisturized...the more, the better! In the colder months, I'm often juggling different body lotions and face creams because without them the absence can be seen, and worst yet, felt. I find when I'm not using a good face cream, my skin goes to look less bright. When this happens, I like to add a dark spot diminisher into my routine, such as a Polyphenol Dark Spot Diminisher, that I find helps with this.     

1. GET A FACIAL

If you've been wanting to splurge on a facial, right now is the best time to do it. You'll see a complete transformation in your skin complexion with just one treatment. The skin will look nourished, exfoliated and clean. It will feel exactly the way it feels during the summer even though in reality it's autumn...cold and dry. 

I completely understand if at this moment with the difficulties we're all facing, a skin facial is out of the question for you. What do we do then? Well, the next best thing is trying a new mask or peel at home - a DIY facial. Your skin will be super grateful and you can do this an hour before going to bed in the comfort of your own home. An absolute favorite of mine (currently using) is the Cold Plunge Olehenriksen Pore Mask made of  clay and snow lotus extract. You can imagine how lovely it smells and feels. I keep it on for up to an hour and once I wash it off with warm water, my skin feels brand new. What's your favorite face mask or peel?

Also, you can add a jade roller afterwards to massage the muscles of the face and increase your circulation. Not only that, but a few minutes of massaging the face with a roller, you'll ease muscle tension, get rid of toxins and puffiness. I'm all for it! Plus, it's super simple and feels so nice on your skin!!!

2. MOISTURIZE/HYDRATE 

Another super important factor to take into account is to keep your skin moisturized...the more, the better! In the colder months, I'm often juggling different body lotions and face creams because without them the absence can be seen, and worst yet, felt. 

Not only that, but you've also got to drink more water. Make it a mission to drink a full bottle a day. More liquids will improve your daily energy and skin glow. The saying..."everything starts from within" is completely true. 

Here, the two brands that I 100% trust with the hydration of my skin and have been using  for years are Drunk Elephant and Laneige (Korean brand). What new brands would you suggest I try?

      

3. TOSS ANY OLD/EXPIRED PRODUCTS

How to keep your beauty products in a good condition? Well, always keep your eyes on the expiration date. Just like the food we eat, beauty items have an icon with a number on it. That number tells the number of months that product is safe to use for after opening it. Also, you can tell by the change of color or the funky smell. Any sign of this, you've got to get rid of the product no matter how much you love it. Your skin, just like your body, deserves the BEST!

This is why it's very convenient to buy just one of everything, not 3 new palettes or 5 new mascaras. After you are fully finished with one item, you can always head back to the store and replace it. Otherwise, you'll end up with lots of beauty products in your drawers, which you might never end up using. This is how I buy skincare and make-up products! I save money and at the same time fully use each product.  

4. USE SUNSCREEN

Throughout the years, I learned that sunscreen isn't just a "summer thing". Unfortunately, I learned this lesson the hard way because applying sunscreen was a habit that I had to practice and get used to. Now, it's completely locked in and comes like second nature to me. I apply it even during the fall and winter months. It's super important because even though it's cold outside, the damaging UV rays can still burn your skin and eventually damage it. That's not the look we're going for, so before going-out take a few minutes to apply your sunscreen.

During these seasons, a sunscreen with a SPF 30 or higher is just fine. It will feel light on your skin and of course, your skin will greatly benefit from it.

     

5. AVOID PRODUCTS WITH HARSH INGREDIENTS

This topic is so important! There can be found so many harsh ingredients in your skincare and make-up products, but thankfully there are plenty of brands who focus on clean, natural beauty. I love seeing the increase in them! I think it's very important to not only be commercial oriented, but to create products that benefit our skin and help improve our overall health. These brands include Rare Beauty, Honest Beauty, SK-II, Tatcha, Drunk Elephant and plenty more. Which clean brand do you love? 

As for the ingredients to avoid next time you're buying beauty products...parabens, sulfates, phthalates (the main ones). Be cautious of what you're buying and mostly what you're using. I'm still learning lots about this topic and as I get older, I'm more careful of what I apply on my skin.

What beauty tips do you follow during the fall/winter? Is there something I have missed? Let me know!

FUEL YOUR LIFE THIS FALL!

Hello everyone,

Right now thriving in your own life is most important than ever. When things seem they can easily go south, our mental health can give us hope. For that to happen, this season we need to focus a bit extra on ourselves...our needs and inner love. It's mandatory, just like wearing our masks when going out! 

Plus, with the change in weather, we can still feel rejuvenated even when we're spending more time at home. There are so many wonderful things you can do for yourself. No, you don't need a special holiday or some kind of life crisis reminder. You just need a good idea and to take some time out of your day for YOU. 

Today, I'm here with lots of fun ideas for thriving during the autumn season! Once your tank is full with love, you'll for sure be able to spread it elsewhere. So, this post is especially made for YOU! I know we all could use need something to uplift our spirits and give us hope that YES, the best is yet to come!😉

Are you READY to fuel your life? Stay until the end if you want to learn how to make the healthiest chocolate almond brownies! A recipe perfected by my sister. 🥰  

1. NutriBullet Personal Blender

2. Large Bean Bag

3. Total Body Resistance Kit

4. Immune Boost Tangerine Drink

5. Mani/Pedi Set

6. Milk Bath Salt

7. Skincare CBD Super Serum

8. The Blue Zones Kitchen: 100 Recipes

9. Permanent Hair Color

    10. Karaoke Wireless Microphone 

First thing's first...to keep healthy throughout the fall/winter seasons, continue making these healthy smoothies. They're the best kind of natural vitamins to indulge and keep you save during the flue season. With a NutriBullet you can literally make various smoothies each day. I love mixing different fruits every time, like bananas with pineapple or apples with a spoonful of peanut butter. You can even add greens! I'm more of a "sweet fruits" kind of smoothie drinker. I leave all the greens for my sister! hahaha Making smoothies is something I try to do even after summer is over because more than ever, during the fall, we need our body to feel taken care of in the best way possible. 

Take relaxation to another level with a comfy bean bag in which you can enjoy a nice movie or even take a nap. These are literally the best invention ever for "home souls" who enjoy spending time at home. It feels like a hug and suddenly it becomes tricky to want to ever get up. Won't blame you for that...this is your time!

Also, one thing I do is I move my workouts from outside to indoors. For that I have a few dumbbells and resistant bands to help keep me in my best shape. Working-out is part of my routine as it sends my mind and body the right message...that I care and want there to be balance and harmony between the two. So, even if you take from 20 to 30 minutes for a quick active workout, you'll see the difference in your energy and mood. And a little sweat glow always looks fabulous!!!

Thrive through the season with Vitamin C packs. Super simple...you dissolve one pack in your bottle of water and drink it up. It doesn't require any prepping time. It's too good for you not to add to your day. Whenever you don't feel like making a smoothie, go for this pack because it will give you the needed nutrients and help boost your whole day. 

Fuel your day with a at-home mani/padi. Always and forever I love taking care of my nails. With this all-in-onebset you can sand, file, buff and shine your nails. I LOVE IT! It's the best kind of therapy for me...completely helps me relax and be in the moment. What woman doesn't love that? Once I get them shiny and clean, I enjoy painting them different colors, adding glitter or even trying new designs. It's so much FUN!

I think we all love a good warm bath, that's why I suggest making yourself a salt bath just before going to bed. It will take all the toxins out and give you the right mindset for a nice sleep. Turn off your phone and make it happen! This is one of these small things, which can make you sooooooo happy! 

While having your bath, add a face serum that will make you feel five years younger. Afterwards you'll be shocked by what you see in the mirror. The best kind of shock! 

Applying skincare always feels like a spa day to me because I completely loosen up from the pretty smell of aromas and the instant hydration my skin receives. It fills me up with love! Because of that, I do it daily even on days when I get home late.

Wanna know what can keep you living longer? Eating more healthy meals. This Blue Zones recipe book is inspired by that...the blue zone locations around the world where people live the longest. Each one has a delicious recipe, which you can have fun making at home. Even more enjoyable is if you have someone to cook with and later share the dish. This activity would sure give you some quality time with your loved one and help connect you through your love for food.

Another way to instantly feel brand new is by freshening-up your hair color. You can even try a new color, which you might have always wanted to see yourself in. This simple act can boost your confidence and make you feel like autumn isn't so bad, after all.

Did you know...karaoke also increases longevity? Yep, that's why I'm always singing. hahaha This is the most fun activity ever!!! Ironically, a few hours ago, I was singing because I was learning the lyrics to one of my new favorite songs. I recommend buying a microphone and getting the party started in your home. In minutes you'll notice how your mood changes even if you don't have the voice of Adele! haha                               

And as promised, here is the recipe to help sweeten your soul a bit more this fall!😋

10 FALL ITEMS YOU NEED!

Hello everyone,

I'm back to talking fall fashion because, well, there is a LOT to talk about! hahaha This season we might not be shopping as often (compared to last season), that's why it's important to make smart choices on any new purchases. This includes items, which can really last us a lifetime. How will you know? I can help you by introducing you to some of the current most sought-out pieces. 

You'll find out what's trending. Wanna know what's even better? A lot of these pieces you can find in your husband or boyfriend's closet. Why? Because this season the BIGGEST trend is everything oversized! If you don't have a partner whose closet you can raid, sneak into your dad's closet. Yep, you heard it first here!!! Sometimes you've got to do what's best for YOU! 😁 

Now that we've got our "secret plan" in full effect it's time to think fall fashion. What does your personal style look like during this time of year? What do you like to wear most often?

These 10 items above are your perfect autumn staples. Why? Because each is trendy on its own and can literally be styled to infinity. YESSSS! 💯 

As I mentioned earlier it's best to go for oversized pieces since that is super trendy right now. I wouldn't recommend going super crazy with both top and bottom looking baggy. Pick one! You might want to add oversized pants with a cute cashmere sweater. If you want to keep the top half of your outfit more loose and comfy, make sure at the bottom you're balancing it out with something more fitted. That's what I would do because I definitely don't want to look like a larger-than life bag. 

Some pieces totally worth investing in are shackets (shirt & jacket into one), wide leg flare denim jeans, knee high boots, oversized blazer, cool clear blue light glasses (they help eliminate the blue light from screens) and geometric prints or any punky plaids. 

These autumn 2020 trends are making me super excited about experimenting with new styles. I'm looking forward to giving the oversized trend a try because if you know me, you would know I love more fitted clothing. However, I'm always up for a little fun and this most likely will give me a chance to fall in love with new looks. Is that something you would like to see soon on the blog? 

Do you already own any of these items? Which one, would you love to get first?
