Christmas: The New LUSH Family Portrait

So a big thanks to Lush Cosmetics for making my Christmas even more joyful than usual, as I used my gift certificate and went semi-wild. Lush is so amazing because not only are the products fair trade ingredients, vegan, and all natural but there are no harsh chemicals like some drugstore brands and is always a nice great smell! You can smell Lush from a mile away!

The babies! I did not like the store location I went to as the employees were into themselves rather than helping me out, but shout out to my favorite locations: SOHO and E86th St! The UES and Soho crew are amazing! I should have went to you guys but wanted to get these quickly and this store was nearby work! (And of course, the Atlantic City crew at the Pier, whenever I am on vacation you guys show me everything!)

I bought the Sakura bath bombs, one for me and one for a friend! The bath bombs are incredible, you just get your lukewarm water, stop up the tub, and drop one in. Magic happens when it dissolves, like a cracker jack bag, there is a prize inside (petals of fun).

Then got myself this RUB RUB RUB Solid bar, Great body scrub, smells great, the texture is not harsh, and the sea salt is a true buffer! Baby's bottom smooth anybody?

Then me being a scrubber, had to get this Sugar Scrub. Comprised of Fennel and Ginger. Who can go wrong with those herbs!

Then of course, not wanting a lotion but a nice massage bar to add to the mix, got this Pearl one! I love the feel of it. The smell doesnt overpower me like the Soft Coeur, that I had many years ago LOL, with the chocolate inside it. Plus it has that bubble tea look and pearl fragrance.

Then I couldnt resist this set, I was going to buy Rockstar since its my ultimate fav but then I saw godmother with it, and the associate that helped me, said godmother isnt offered alone, I figured I cant separate the twins, lets buy it and keep them together.

One thing I always love going into Lush is getting a sample of something that piques your interest! I went for the BB Seaweed initially but ended up getting a try of the Cup of Coffee and Mask of Magnaminty!

I tried the Mask of Magnaminty, it goes on pretty well, you can feel your pores being vacuumed out and a natural detox for the face. Dries on nicely, not harsh, and I followed it with my cleansing milk by Missha and Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. Not bad at all.

Now tomorrow morning if I can remember or the day after on Christmas Eve, I will give Cup O' Coffee a try, and I gotta say by the smell, I feel caffeinated already.

Blazer Weather

As per my other post, I also acquired two other blazers, I am on fire!

This Louis Ferraud number, a little bit of 80s shoulder pad action but its nicely structured in a boyfriend fit and goes great with a funky scarf and jeans alla Parisian meets Kate Lanphear.

And also found a J. Crew on the cheap.

Nice soft wool in a black color, very modest and au potentiale!

Speaking of the jeans and outfit potentials, my two items I would definitely pair just putting them next to the blazers, would be this Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mab Tote Bag in the dusty pink and my boyfriend ripped denim by Gap.

For Shoes, maybe a colorful pop by Lanvin, since they are black blazers. Dont want to look boring.

There is also my new Rebecca Minkoff Blazer i havent worn yet, waiting for the right time but sometimes there is no time, you just have to wing it. Heres to hoping that spontaneous moment comes soon.

Yep and shoes in rotation with these outfits that I feel can work nicely with it. A nice harmonious but quirky fun outfit. If I want classic, I can do it. If quirky, I can. New age, I can. European, of course.

To the end possibilities and how fun fashion and style can be, thats why you cant take it too seriously sometimes, there is a time and a place.

Music Thursday: Throwback to Skee-Lo

If anyone knows the 90s, it wouldnt be complete without mentioning Skee-Lo's "I Wish". Yes I saw the Refinery29 snapchat and am reminiscing to the old jams they had for their studio 29 party last night! LOL



Dont we all have things we wish for. Poor Skee-Lo wanted to be taller and a baller, to get a nice chick and good things going for him. Dont we all. :P

TBT: Atlantic City Throwback

Going back through my vacation images, this one resonates so strongly in me. The time when I was in Atlantic City and nearly rode in a helicopter across the city limits for the first time. Of course, my madre didnt like the idea, too risky. Maybe one day Ill finally take a ride, whenever that is!

Beeh's Christmas Wish List!

Alot of unique things this year, nothing too extravagant, except for some big money items that are just lux and does not stand out too much. :)

Still wanting a Rag and Bone Pilot Bag in either small or large, I have a feeling this is the year. In either leather or that paisley denim and leather combo!

Then in with my new found love in spinning classes and the support to my already fitness and workout addicted self, a class pack of Flywheel spinning classes! Feed that addiction, healthy that is.

Then a Michele watch, I have always come close to getting one and then shutting it down but this time, I feel like the CSX with the tiny diamond bezel or no diamond bezel would be a great addition to my arm.

Then of course, this fitness addict needs new sneakers besides the past nikes, reeboks, and vibrams, THE UBIQUITOUS FLYKNITS!

And of course, you cant not like the quirky cute Alessandro Michele Gucci's Fur Loafer Slippers. Its like Chanel 2010 but a little sleeker.

A Diptyque candle, yes I know a bit repetitive on all of the lists out there but I love the Choisya scent ever since I went to Space NK and bought the Tubereuse and got the mini one, now I want the large one to burn forever. Hehe.

And a first in a long time, LOFT is starting to have some cute things, like this Cocoon Coat. :) I love the stripes, I am a sucker for it and the large shape, au potentiale.

The next three pieces are from AllSaints. First is the Mangla Wave Top, I love the pattern and sleeves, with the little cut out in the back, so edge. Then the Dahlia Sweatshirt, love the shape and texture to it. And finally the Carin Long Shirt, a bit on the expensive side but that silk is no joke and I love the boxy loose fit it has.

Finally of this exhaustive list, if you know my instagram and other posts, I love a good Lanvin sneaker. I need another pair, technically want but "NEED". :)

Santa, please! lol

Leather and Stripes: Outfit Post

Finally taking out that HM Leather Quilted sleeve long jacket, fall personal style has so far been going in a good direction. Definitely trying to wear more of my stuff instead of simply buying more that I dont need to pile on top of it. Of course if I do see something im 1000% sure about and could wear instead of love the idea of it, I will add it into the wardrobe. But I have been doing a good job about cleaning out and refocusing what I have going on.

Jacket: H&M

Jeans: GAP 1969 Girlfriend Denim

Top: J.Crew Striped L/S Shirt

Boots: AGL

Loving the ripped fit of the girlfriend denim by GAP, which isnt popular by some for the fit, but size up and its amazingly good. I love it with the suede boots I got by AGL, very streamline and edgy.

Nothing like Tweedy for the Fashion Needy

Going through both November and December style guides for the J.Crew lookbook and other old English 1990 sitcoms like Keeping Up Appearances, I have noticed how "Smart" they all dress and prim. It is proper with a little taste of country. And I have also noticed how many brands over the years emerged this as a trend and even deviated from it to add in a new age touch (Remember 2005?).

So anyway, I went hunting for a blazer like the Regents and Schoolboys that adorned the style guide pages, and found this bad boy!

By Harris Tweed, 100% Pure Scottish Wool. Quality that lasts for years, you cannot get any better than that.

And the button work!

I am imaging this with a pair of structured dark denim, a nice neutral sweater and a colorful scarf and statement earrings to keep it fun! And of course a pair of neutral converse or brown brogues to keep up the tradition of English country.

Honestly, I have never been more inspired by blazers, EVER. I used to be inspired by Chanel tweeds with their fantasy fabrics and trip resort collections but this one seems more solid and eternal.
