Self-Care With Philips

By 2 Comments

This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/Philips

 One of my goals for 2020 is to make self-care a priority in my life.  It is important to me, as I age, to take better care of myself.  Self-care can look different for different people.  For me, self-care is doing something relaxing; for instance, we are going to the beach this weekend. Everyone needs a little “vitamin sea” in their life, am I right? I also do some form of exercise five times a week, along with getting enough sleep at night, eating healthy and taking care of my skin.  I am not just talking about my face. I am talking about my overall body.

That is why I want to share with you today the Philips SatinShave Advanced This razor comes with a convenient travel pouch- perfect for quick getaways.  You will experience a smooth shave with less nicks, cuts and irritation.  This shaver is designed to reach curvy areas on your legs and body for less missed hairs.  The floating foil shaving head maintains close skin contact for an even shave. This is fantastic for me as I am always on the go, so this helps me find time to take better care of my legs and other intimate areas.  It also has helped my skin to look and feel smooth.

This S shaped handle from Philips SatinShave Advanced allows for a better reach all over your body.  The Satin Shaver can be used wet or dry, in or out of the tub, with anti-slip grip for easy handling. It comes with a rechargeable lithium ion battery that provides up to 1 hour of cordless usage after an 8-hour charge.  There is a battery indicator light to ensure you have a full charge every shave.  It also includes a trimming comb attachment for grooming the bikini area.

 

 

I am really impressed with the quality of this Philips SatinShave Advanced razor. If you are interested, here is the link to purchase the Philips SatinShave Advanced on Amazon and use the Promo Code: SATINSHAVE at check out for 10% off!!

 

 

 

Cabi Spring 2020 Collection Ambassador!

By 2 Comments

 

I am so excited to share with you that I am a cabi Ambassador for Spring 2020!

This first ensemble screams spring!  For an effortless look, I paired their Drama Skirt with the Thespian Blouse for the perfect matching set. That is one of the great things about cabi is they make fashion easy and stylish.

For those of you who might not be familiar with cabi : they are an 18 year old, company known for its one-of-a-kind fashion experience.  What I love about cabi is they were created “by women for women.”  There are approximately 3,000 cabi stylists across the U.S., Canada and the U.K. that offer their clients personalized styling services.

How it works is you shop cabi, thru a personal styling appointment online where they can put you in touch with a cabi stylist in your area, or at a Fashion Experience which are also known as trunk shows.  Stay tuned for a future Blog Post where I will be taking you with me on a Fashion Experience with a cabi stylist.

 

 

Now let’s get down to the good stuff….The Spring 2020 cabi Collection!  “Spring is a time for renewal and growth, so let’s apply this to your wardrobe.”  As you can see in this next look I kept the Thespian Blouse and added the Grace Trouser and Blazer.  These contemporary  cropped pencil leg trousers are on trend and giving my wardrobe a breath of fresh air.

 

Not only does cabi offer amazing pieces of clothing, but they also have fabulous shoes and accessories.  “They say history repeats itself” – and cabi is bringing back a few “beloved vintage styles.”  These Bow Kitten Heels as shown in the photo above are the perfect example! From the kitten heel to the adorable striped bow detail, this shoe will definitely elevate any look.

I look forward to sharing with you my love of cabi’s Spring 2020 Collection over the next few months.

 

 

My new favorite accessory – Peepers!!

By Leave a Comment

One thing you must know about me when it comes to fashion is,  accessories are ALWAYS the star of my looks!!  I believe that when it comes to choosing accessories, they allow you to bring out your personality and uniqueness.  What comes to mind when I say the word Accessories?  Most likely you are thinking, a great pair of shoes, or an amazing statement necklace, a wonderful structured handbag right????  Well, I want to add one more important item that I bet NEVER entered your mind……….a fabulous pair of EYEGLASSES!  Think about it, if you wear glasses they are most likely the first thing that people see when they look at you.  So, why not make them take a ‘second look’ by wearing the most fabulous brand of eyewear I have found!  Peepers by peeperspecs!

Where do I even start with all the things I love about Peepers?!  They are so fashion forward with such a unique selection of frames and colors, I actually am more excited about choosing which pair I want to wear with each outfit than anything else.  When you see and feel the quality of their frames, you will be amazed when you find out how much they cost!!!  Their average pair range around $25 which makes me even more excited to share them with you.  Here are some of my favorite pairs that I think you will love.

 

 

 

Lets start with these fabulous and bold Bravado (Blue Light) fames in black.  If these don’t make a statement I don’t know what can.  I love that they come with Blue Light protection, since so many of us spend countless hours in front of a screen.  It is no surprise this pair was chosen as one of Oprah’s New Favorite Frames for 2019!!  They come in a variety of colors and you can even order them with no correction if you just want to use them as a fashion statement!!!

 

 

These Coffee Shop frames in Tortoise Wood were another pair that I knew I needed to have.  Between the oversized thick frames and the contrast of recycled bamboo arms, they will certainly cause you to stand out!  These come in several other color combinations that you are sure to love.

 

These ‘eye catching’ Center Stage Focus frames, shown above in Navy Tortoise, are listed as not only Peepers most popular frames, but also as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things!  These frames also offer their Focus Blue Light protection from harmful side effects that come from our computer and phone screens.  They also come in six other amazing color ways and trust me I will be going back for several more colors.

Last but not least, I am wearing these gorgeous Limelight frames in Gray Tortoise.  This pair gave me a fun animal print vibe when I saw them.  All eyes will be on you in this polished style that suits all face shapes.  They also include  Blue Light protection and comes in four other colorways that will compliment any skin tone.  You can see why these also made Oprah’s Favorite Things list as it did mine!

I can’t say enough great things about Peepers and I feel super confident recommending any of their fashion forward frames for you to purchase for yourself or as a gift.  The fact that they are so affordable makes me love them even more.  Lets face it, if you are like me we sometimes misplace our readers (does that come with age)lol, but seriously, as affordable as they are, you can buy several pairs to leave around the house in case of a mishap.

Now you understand why Peepers is now my New favorite accessory and hopefully it will be yours too!

Enjoy a Cozy Winter with Peach!

By Leave a Comment

This is my favorite time of year!   As the chill in the air has arrived so comes the time to bundle up with fabulous warm cozy outfits!  I am excited to show you the new Winter ’19 Collection from Peach.  This collection is called Nordic Lights, and it might be my favorite yet from Peach!  They describe it as ‘Cozy meets Festive’ and I would have to totally agree as these pieces can take you from brunch to parties, or a football game to lounging by a fire.  All the things I love to do this time of year!  I decided to pick a few great outerwear pieces for myself as well as a ‘Chic’ jogger set that I absolutely love and wanted to share with you, so here they are.

 

First up is this fabulous Faroe Sherpa Jacket.  I selected the color Cloud because I just love wearing white in the winter.   I love it as shown here with denim and booties, but this jacket has taken me to the gym in the cold morning hours.  It is so cozy and I love that it is fully lined.  It is designed to give a relax fit and I purposely sized up one size (Size Small) and I am really happy I did.  This jacket ranges from XXS to XXL and also comes in a beautiful rose color as well.  I can’t say enough great things about this great piece.

Next up is this adorable Polar Pom Hoodie in the color Carbon.  I mean, can you ever be too old for Pom Poms??  I can’t tell you how many compliments I have gotten on this fun cropped jacket.  There are so many great details on this jacket, from the faux fur hoodie, to the velvet draw string cords.  It is the perfect versatile piece that works with jeans, leather pants and even your favorite pair of leggings.  It is also fully lined and it is so soft and cozy.  I would say this jacket is true to size (I am wearing an XS) and it also comes in a range from XXS to XXL and comes in the color Cloud.  If you are wanting to stand out in the crowd, treat yourself to this fabulous jacket!

I might have saved the best for last with this luxurious stretch velvet  Sofie Sweatshirt and Sofie Joggers.  I knew the minute I laid my eyes on these pieces I wanted to get it as a set, but they both stand on their own seperately.  Lets start with the top, I love the oversized funnel neckline with the drawstring detail.  This fabric is so fabulous, you won’t want to take it off.  I stayed true to size on this top (Size XS) and it also comes in a range from XXS to XXL.  If you are a ‘pink’ kind of girl, it also comes in a beautiful Blush color.  Now onto these super chic and comfy Sofie Joggers.  They are also stretch velvet and so cozy you might want to sleep in them!  They have an elastic waistband with an internal drawcord, my favorite thing are the pockets!  They are suppose to have a relaxed look, so I sized up one size (Size Small) and they gave me the fit I was looking for.  They range from XXS to XXL.  I decided to style them for you as I would wear them to a fun night out by adding these leopard booties and a great bag.  But of course, it is the perfect errand running outfit or travel ootd by adding a fun sneaker.  Either way, I promise you this outfit will be on major repeat!

I highly encourage you to check out this entire Nordic Lights Collection and pick yourself up one or two pieces to add to your winter wardrobe.  I would love to hear from you what your favorite pieces are in the comments below.

Still ‘WILD’ about Peach!

By Leave a Comment

A while back I introduced you all to my favorite activewear line Peach ! I am here to say that they are still my #1 go to for athleisure wear but also amazing wardrobe Fall and Winter wardrobe staples with the launch of their new Autumn 19 Collection ‘Into the Wild’ !

Let’s start off with this fabulous look that to me fall under athleisure wear AND also casual chic style!  I am wearing their Kora Pullover in this rich color Garnet (size S).   The satin detailing along the sides is gorgeous and the fit is a relaxed fit.  I sized up one size to give me a bit more length for wearing with leggings.  And speaking of leggings, can we just please talk about these FABULOUS Nina Leggings also in Garnet! (Size XS). These are beyond show stopping, with their leather-like front they will truly elevate any look!  I love wearing these pieces together, but they totally stand on their own.  Both pieces come in other colors but I highly suggest the garnet color as I promise you will get heads to turn in this beautiful rich color!

Now, to demonstrate my comment about how Peach is now my ‘go to’ for wardrobe staples, this amazing Mara Moto Jacket (sz XS) is from their new Autumn Collection!  I selected this beautiful Khaki color, but it also comes in a beautiful shade of olive.  This jacket is made of a stretch vegan suede, and has fabulous silver hardware details.  You won’t believe the best part of this jacket…….wait for it……..it is MACHINE WASHABLE!!  I promise this piece will be on major repeat for me all Fall and Winter!

I might have saved the best for last!  You all know much I love wearing dresses, and this gorgeous Marula Dress in black (sz XS)  jumped off the page for me and I knew I needed it in my closet ASAP!  It is the absolute perfect combination of Chic and Comfy!  The fabric is a French terry with polished satin details along the sides which elevates this dress to the nines!!!  I love it paired here with snakeskin boots, but I also can’t wait to style it with some fun sneakers for an edgy street style look.

You all know that I only share what I love and would wear myself and I am so honored to be a Peach Ambassador.  I am so impressed with all the pieces that I own from them and I give them the highest recommendation.  Make sure to check out this Autumn 19 Collection and don’t hesitate on ordering as their pieces tend to go fast as they are truly the ULTIMATE in style and quality.

How to look ‘Slimsational’!

By Leave a Comment

I am super excited to introduce you all to SlimSation , a women’s clothing line that offers a ‘state of the art’ flexible tummy control panel in every piece of clothing they offer!  (Can I get an Amen)!  I was so excited then they contacted me to ask if I would like to try out a pair of their pants to see how I like them and share them with you all!  I didn’t hesitate for a second and was so excited for their arrival!!

 

I selected their Knit Ankle Pant in black and I am wearing a size 2 (which is the smallest size they offer).  I would recommend sizing down one size in this style pant, as I usually wear a size 0 and I had ample room in the fit.   They are a pull on ankle pant with hem vent &their amazing tummy panel (Yay)!  I am obsessed with their fabric as it is still in the high 90’s here in Florida, and they are so breezy and cool to wear.  Oh, and the best part is the range of sizes they offer in their pants, from size 2 to size 24w!  Fabulous!!

As you can see in the above image everything you are going to achieve when ordering one of their amazing selections of pants!  I can’t recommend SlimSation enough, and I highly encourage you to try a pair!  Who doesn’t want to look 10 pounds lighter and at the same time look so classic and chic!  Thank you so much Slimsation for letting me share the ‘Good News’ to my friends here at 50 Shades of Style!
