SWIM FAN

(We Are Handsome swim dress (similar) and bikini (similar), vintage CHANEL backpack, Vanessa Mooney bracelet, Wildfox sunglasses, Ax + Apple necklace, Loeffler Randall sandal (similar)
This little dress is literally like a wetsuit. It fits like a glove, and I can dive into the ocean with it on, and it’d still stay perfectly wrapped to my body. Worn over my swimmy during my one day in Laguna, I loved the freedom of feeling the sand and ocean breeze on my skin. I just went directly into the ocean just to get that beach sea salt effect all over my hair…before massaging my toes in between the sand and the water. I was toting this little vintage CHANEL bag along the way and it is my all time favorite. Founded by my Mum over in Los Angeles, it’s a gem, and of the sofest leather. I can’t wait to take it out again here in the city. For now, I’ll be California dreaming…as I’m getting more and more in the NYC groove. Oh, and can you say Fashion Week?! Lots of exciting things coming your way soon!

DR. JART+ SKIN AND BEAUTY GIVEAWAY

Featuring my top Dr. Jart+ skin products
(wearing a Gypsy 05 top)
For me, I love taking care of my skin. It was my Mom who really pushed it on me…saying “never go to bed without moisturizing, and never leave the house without sunscreen.” Ever since then, I’ve been paying close attention to what products worked for me. With traveling, and from being on shoots, and wearing makeup, my skin can feel worn down after a long day’s work. I’ve tried so, so many different products and then I realized that my skin was always the best and most clear when I just, let it be…and kept it clean and moisturized with the basics. My top products are by Dr. Jart+ and honestly, I’m addicted. Everything from the detox cleanser to their Ceramidin cream leaves my skin feeling so fresh and smooth. I love a freshly moisturized face and that glistening look. Plus, they smell soo good, making waking up and going to bed super relaxing!
I’m happy to finally let you know what Dr. Jart+ products I use daily:

1. Black Label Detox 02 Cleansing Foam: I’m obsessed with this foam cleanser because it’s extremely gentle, yet I still see results. It’s perfect for removing the grime from the New York City streets, and getting a real detox every morning. Wash after wash, it keeps my skin even more hydrated and clear, rather than stripping away my oils. It really allows my skin to breathe. 


2.  Ceramidin Liquid: The Ceramidin Liquid is my go-to primer. I use it just before the Ceramidin Cream, to really lock in moisture. Right away, my skin feels calmer and way more hydrated. Though I have combination skin, which can get oily, but also easily get dry because it’s so sensitive, it’s so much more clear and blemish free when my skin is fully hydrated throughout the day. The Ceramidin Liquid is what I use every single morning before moisturizer, and before applying any makeup. It’s that much needed base.

 3. Ceramidin Cream: Sometimes my skin can feel so dry after long days out in the city…and during any time of year. And especially if I’m out on a shoot, and I’ve been wearing makeup all day, my skin can feel even more worn down. The Ceramidin Cream is the perfect cream to relieve irritation, redness, and of course dryness right away. It moisturizes for over a full day, and keeps my skin feeling much more fresh and smooth no matter where I am. It’s super light, and I now make sure to keep this in my bag everyday.

4. Water Fuse Water-Max Sleeping Mask: Though I like to keep my routine as simple as possible, every week or so, I have to use a mask. Just to get the dirt out of my pores and for some really deep cleaning. For me, people are always touching my skin, putting on my makeup for shoots, and sometimes I just need one really good skin detox. This sleeping mask totally does the trick, and it’s so relaxing, the delicious scent puts me to sleep right away. It’s like my own mini spa at home.

5. Premium BB CREAM Beauty Balm spf 45: Sunscreen is my number 1. I never leave the house without sunscreen on. The face is probably the most important. Also, when I’m not working, I try to keep my makeup super minimal so my skin can breathe…maybe just a little foundation around the T of my face. I wear this beauty balm under my makeup, and immediately it makes my skin look fresh and clear. It’s the perfect base, and I love knowing that the SPF is giving my skin that extra protection anytime of the year.

Being back home in NYC means not having to live out of a suitcase…and endlessly mixing and matching for our extremely unexpected weather changes. I literally came back to go straight back to work, straight back to fittings, and honestly, I was just so happy for a night back with my crazy NYC girls. I threw on a fresh diasy printed maxi skirt, a tee from my new French favorite, Eleven Paris, a denim trench, and some of the cutest and most PURPLE sandals I own and headed to Chrystie Street Park, our meeting spot. I could feel people staring at my feet. It’s not often you see something so bright on a deary New York evening. With no energy and still feeling jet-lagged, I had my messy hair in a loose bun. I look back, and LOVE this look. I’ll wear it again no doubt. It’s like my 90’s self, just new and refreshed! Ending our night with wine on the roof, I finally felt at home.

It’s Sunday, and though I want to curl into bed, there’s so much to catch up on, that I’m wide awake in my living room, planning the week’s adventures.

SHOP TEES AND ACCESSORIES:

MERCI BEAUCOUP

(Lovers & Friends varsity jacket and “MERCI” tee, Wildfox Couture denim jeans, Karen London gold cuff, The 2 Bandits silver cuffs (similar), Vintage Chanel backpack, Rudy + Ed sneakers)

A completely destroyed denim jean is the best thing ever for traveling. And especially in LA…home to denim. Here I’m caught on the steps of my backyard. Just where I’d always sit with my friends and have late-night girltalk, planning what we’d do with our lives…it’s where we grew up. Those brick steps. Far enough down that the parents couldn’t see us from the 3rd floor of our house. Pulled together with a varsity jacket and super short tee, I really do feel like I went back to that time. Of high school football and games and just being young, wild, and completely free…you know, before real life happens. But I have to admit, life all grown up is the best thing ever. AND I officially have a varsity jacket collection similar to my Dad’s vintage closet thanks to my gal pals at Lovers & Friends! MERCI BEACOUP.
