LUST-HAVE LIST: February 2014

LHL_feb2014

It sucks that February is mostly known for Valentine’s Day and love and all that jazz. However, I’m riding solo again this year (Don’t call it a comeback!)

I could really care less about having a valentine, because I’m too cold-hearted-faced-eared-nosed and any and all other extremities of mine that have been exposed to this ridiculously cold weather. I mean, really, when is it supposed to warm up!

Here’s what I want this month. So….

  1. Garden Party Flow Shorts, $17.80, Forever 21 – This spring, I’m going to be all about the wide and flowy shorts. I guess you can consider them skorts, but I despise that word. So, flow shorts, it is!
  2. Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask, $88, Sephora.com – I’ve been craving a masque and this one from Fresh is packed with all the moisturizing ingredients and antioxidants that my face is feening.
  3. Josie Maran 100 percent Argan Oil, $48, Sephora.com – This cold weather has been doing the most to not only my skin, but especially my bleached, honey blonde hair. Argan oil is light, but very moisturizing and perfect for skin, nails, and hair.
  4. MCM Craig & Karl Large Pouch, $485, ShopBop.com – This is a fabulous piece to have in your clutch collection, because it’s perfect for a night on the town and can easily be used to run errands on the weekend thanks to pop-art print combined with the iconic MCM logo laden print.
  5. Valentino Rockstar small neon leather bracelet, $225, Net-A-Porter – To say that I’ve been obsessed with neon yellow over the past couple of years is a huge understatement. Needless to say, I was panting at this small shock of neon yellow in the form of this Valentino bracelet. Would look so great with almost anything I wear this spring and summer.

Rebecca Minkoff Face-off: The Hudson Bag

RM_hudson

Yesterday, I was hit with the sudden urge to buy a new handbag and kind of instantly settled on a Rebecca Minkoff Hudson bag. However, while perusing for a bag on ShopBop.com, I was hit with a unexpected dilemma: Which color. When I first decided I wanted the Hudson, it was because I was drawn to the classic allure of the navy, which is exclusive to ShopBop.com. However, just when I was about to click the “add to bag” button, I was stopped dead in my internet tracks  and became hypnotized by the neon yellow version. Torn.

The neon yellow, which has become my new favorite neon color and dethroned neon pink after almost two decades, is perfect for spring and summer and would be the perfect unexpected punch of color paired with soft colors of spring and all the denim jackets that I’ve acquired over the past year. However, the navy is classic, chic, timeless, and effortlessly perfect to any handbag wardrobe.

So, I eventually had to text my sister for her opinion. After numerous texts that include ideas, images, and links we both agreed on a color and it’s currently on the way to me right now and will be here at my desk before the end of business day tomorrow.

Which color do you think I picked: forever classic navy or forever fun neon yellow? Check back Friday to find out or, if you follow me on Instagram or like Stained Couture on Facebook, you probably will find out tomorrow!

Detox Fix

One of the things I’ve been embracing more of is no-make-up days. Yes, bad skin prone/ make-up addicted me has been daringly going out in public without a drop of make-up. Well, maybe a few swipes of mascara, but that’s almost a daily necessity as brushing my teeth.

Anyway, the only times I feel super confident to go out bare face is when I feel and know that my skin has been properly cleansed, toned, moisturized, and treated (if need). Pretty much, detoxed to the fullest. So, I got instantly anxious to whip out my card and order this Skin Cleanse Volume 2 (There’s a Volume 1?) from Sephora.

This sample collection includes nine of Sephora’s best products for you to get fresh, clean, and perfect skin and includes exfoliators, masks, mattifier, peels, cleanser, eye gel, BB cream, and pore refiner. Everything, plus it’s only $45.
