Dita Von Teese Retro Kitchen



 
 
I cannot get enough of this pink kitchen design that was featured in a magazine a while back. I can honestly say that not only does Dita Von Teese has exquisite taste when it comes to her wardrobe, but her style is just as fabulous in household matters. The checkered black and white floors add glamour and style to this wonderfully pink 1950's inspired kitchen. It's simply divine and I take this as an inspiration to my own kitchen design. This editorial is straight out of a retro lookbook and I adore every part of it.

My Vitamins

It would be wrong for me to tell you that I am a very health conscious person, however, I do like to take care of my body and health. And even though there are many temptations that steer me away from a very healthy diet, I try my best to maintain a good body weight, figure, and overall health. To help me in my quest for a healthier and more active lifestyle, I use a few vitamins and diet supplements that help boost my overall well being. Baring that in mind, I have three primary vitamins and herbal capsules that I like to take on a daily basis:
 
1. One A Day Women's Gummies: Complete adult multivitamin. 
 


2. Cinnamon: Helps regulate blood sugar and metabolism.



3. Evening Primrose Oil : A direct source of GLA Evening Primrose Oil is great for smooth skin, lustrous, hair, and strong nails, among other things. It is great for hormonal balance, helps support the structure and function of: inflammatory and immune response, glands and organs responsible for hormone metabolism, nerve function, joint health and skin cell production. It is an absolute gem, and my most prized and safe guarded beauty and health secret.
 
 
 
It goes without saying that theses are my personal opinions and choices, and is in no way shape of form a medical advice or promotion. Everyone should consult his/her physician before taking any type of supplements, vitamins and/or medications.
 
I find that the combination of these three work best for me and provide enough balance for my overall diet. I also try and take things as organic as possible, which in return help me benefit the from these herbs at their purest form available.

Beauty Favourite: Amore Pacific Skincare

Among my many beauty obsessions, the one that is at the very top of my list is proper skincare and good quality, life changing products. The reason for this is because no matter how well you apply your makeup, and how wonderful you look with a painted face, what really matters the most is the quality and healthy of your actual skin. And if you do not have a good canvas to paint on, then there really is no point piling on all that makeup just to cover flaws and imperfections. When I say this, I do not refer to imperfections that could not be treated or that are out of our hands (more on that in a latter post), but those that could be diminished with proper skin care and treatments. Ever woman deserves a luminous, healthy, and almost flawless skin. And although makeup is God's gift to all women, no matter their skin type, color, or age, it is very important to take care of our most precious and most alluring  feature: our face!
 
There are thousands of beauty products on the market ranging widely in price and quality, which is why choosing the right product is more important that anything else. No matter your budget, you can always find good skin care within your own personal budget. Juts because one product is priced highly does not necessarily mean it is the best or the right one for you. Luckily there are so many alternatives that everyone can find something that suits his/her skin type and needs. However, what is important is the purity of the product, what I mean by this is that the less harsh chemicals in a product, the better the results and overall satisfaction you will get.
 
My personal skin care choice is from the Asian skin care line called AMORE PACIFIC, and is from the moisture bound and deep hydration line. Although a little pricey, I find that I works best due to the fact that it is mainly based on botanicals such as Green Tea, Bamboo, and Red Ginseng.
 
Keep in mind that I have dry skin, that is very sensitive and prone to redness. So my choice would not be suitable for those who have different skin concerns. It is an absolute gem of a product, and even though I sometime rotate between different brands and products, I always come back to this miracle worker for my skin.
 
This nature's gift to women can be easily found online, at luxury department stores such as Nordstrom, or the beloved one stop beauty retailer: Sephora.
 
I suggest everyone to take a sample on your next visit to the skin care aisle and give this beauty and skin care must have a try!

Travel Cosmetic Case

After years of tireless search, I have found the perfect cosmetic case to take on vacation. Safe enough to carry even the most fragile things, and big enough to fit all the necessities. I just adore how compact and pretty it looks and stores my prized beauty favourites. It goes without saying that I was sold from the instant I saw its delicate and sweet light pink color.

Caviar Nails

 
I just love a good nail design, which is why when I came across this fun nail trend I jumped at the chance of trying something different for a change. This caviar nail art is by none other than Ciate, and you can have fun little fingers with this manicure set. I find black nail polish to be quite classic, which is why this touch of sparkle makes it even better!

On a chilly day like today, I love nothing more than taking a long walk around the park, sipping hot coffee, thinking about my most desired hopes and dreams. Of course, I love it better when I get to wear this wonderfully cozy and warm Burberry Gloves that I bought at the beginning of the season to help keep my hands nice and toasty!

Fashion Forward - Hudson Colored Jeans


Colored denim has been the most raved clothing item in the past year. Transcending both styles and seasons these fashion forward jeans take anyone from being ordinary to absolutely extraordinary.
 
These Hudson super skinny Nico mid-rise are my absolute favourite pair, not to mention the bright and bold blue hue: "Blue My Mind". Flattering on all body shapes and sizes, they are a must-have item for any fashionista. Known to provide a superior 360° stretch coupled with maximum retention and recovery, so that it does not loose its shape.

Royal Blue

If you're going to wear blue on your nails, you might as well do it in a royal fashion. Not only is this colour beautiful in its own right, but it also stands out and makes a statement. It's boldness is epic and unique at the same time.

It's a perfect pop of colour during the fall and winter months, allowing the daring to bring a little brightness to the long cold seasons.

This particular one is by Essie and called "Mesmerize", indeed you will surely be mesmerized by the beauty of this nail colour.

Mirrored Vanity


My love affair with mirrored furniture should come to no surprise at all. So when I came across this image of a mirrored vanity I simply could not pass up the opportunity to share my newfound glamourous decor item. Not only is the design stunning, but this piece of furniture houses my cherished collection of MAKEUP!

Not that I needed another reason to spend hours playing with what I call "My Lady Toys", but this sweet addition to my bedroom decor makes play time extra glamourous and fun...

The Lace Is On


This gorgeous VALENTINO Lace Coat is my favourite find of the month! 

Lace has been the most stunning highlight on the fall runways of haute couture, and rightly so. This overlaying black flower lace design is a great addition to our fall closets. It is girly enough even for the most conservative dresser, and has just the right amount of lace detailing.

I must say it is no surprise coming from the house of fashion class and elegance: Valentino!

Letter to Santa!


Dear Santa, 

I have been a very good girl this year. So I took the initiative to write a little early this year since I know you will be extremely busy later on. I don't wish for much this year, just a few things I can find under my tree on Christmas day. Here's my humble wish list Santa: 

1. UGG Bailey Button Tall Black Boots! 
2. Tiffany & Co. Blue Coffee Mugs!
3. Chanel Makeup!
4. Valentino "Valentina" Perfume!
5. Airplane ticket to go visit my family in Canada!

Most importantly I wish to spend this magical holiday with my love and our families. I know that dreams do come true if you really believe in them, so I'll keep wishing and maybe, just maybe, my deepest wishes will truly come to life. 


With all my love, 

S. 


P.S. I really do wish for World Peace, so if you can manage to sprinkle some kindness, love, and understanding on your way around the world, I would be grateful forever...
