With Christmas right around the corner, I wanted to share a few outfit ideas from my favorite place ever… Target! This year has been super crazy, to say the least, and I know a lot of us will be keeping it simple this year. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t look cute while staying home! Here are a few pieces that you can get that make days and nights merry and bright.

If you are looking for the perfect sweater you can not go wrong with the Mock Turtleneck Pullover Sweater. This sweater comes in a variety of holiday colors which is great.  It is extremely comfortable and so soft. The fabric has a hint of a stretch but is true to size. You can easily coordinate it with a variety of bottoms for versatile styling options. I love that it is perfect for keeping me warm as the temperature changes.

Just in time for  the holidays, LEGO has partnered up with Target to release a brand new collection of fun items for your home, pets, kids, and self. This includes cups, dog sweaters, pajamas, fanny packs, tumblers, toys and more. This collaboration includes nearly 300 items for the whole family. Of course, they are all inspired by the iconic colorful bricks.

Satwik Saraswati, design director at the LEGO Group, said that the colorful items in the collection are designed to give shoppers a “chance to curate” their own unique looks, just like the bricks.

“The LEGO brand is rare in its ability to equally excite all members of the family, and we expect that excitement to soar as we offer LEGO fans young and old the opportunity to experience our brand in an entirely new way through this partnership,” Saraswati said. “Giving consumers a chance to curate and create looks as unique as their families through this collection, just as they would with LEGO bricks, is something we are proud to bring Target guests this holiday season.

I’m so excited to be sharing this post with you all!.  You already know how excited I was when Mali + Lili sent me a few of their gorgeous bags from their new Holiday Collection!

If you’ve never heard of Mali + Lili, let me give you a little background on them. They are an LA-based company that uses the highest quality vegan leather and materials in their designs. I love that they offer that high-end look and feel without the price tag-AND you can shop their styles at one of my favorite retailers, Nordstrom! Oh, and they’re PETA approved! I know that is something important to so many. That’s something I can always support.

I’ve been wearing these bags and styling them and I can tell you, they are not only made so well, but the styles easily incorporate into every type of wardrobe. Also, if you’ve been wanting to try some of the latest bag trends, choosing Mali + Lili will allow you to do so without spending too much, but still getting wonderful quality!

I’m so glad that I’ve been able to test these out and share some of the hottest bag trends for you! A mini backpack, a belt bag, and a fanny pack.

They have also recently launched a cruelty-free nail polish line.  This is the perfect item to give your friends and family members who love at-home manicures. From classic neutrals and bright pinks to shimmery gold, emerald, and black, there are so many colors to choose from as well as three treatments-cuticle oil, base coat and topcoat. The Mali & Lili Clean Nail Colour line is free of the 11 most commonly used toxins in mainstream nail polish, features moisturizing qualities, and will last up to 10 days before chipping.

 

Holiday Gift Guide-Women-PIXI DetoxifEYE

The skin under the eyes is very delicate and needed to be treated likewise. The best way to moisturize and nourish them is to use eye masks or patches, specially designed for them. today I am going to talk about Pixi DetoxifEYE Depuffing eye patches which claim to de-puff eyes while reducing dark circles and providing hydration.

These patches instantly reduce under-eye puffiness and dark circles while moisturizing and soothing your skin which contains hyaluronic acid and caffeine to help with hydration and dark circles.

The patches themselves are light green sparkly sheets shaped like drops to fit beneath the eye area. They are dripped in thick serum which mainly includes hyaluronic acid for hydration and caffeine to depuff. There is no noticeable smell which is a huge plus. The hydrogel patches are not too thick to be uncomfortable on skin and not too thin to easily tear but still be careful to apply them as they are soft and tear-able.

The best time for me to use these patches is in the evening as in the morning my eyes feel fresher and looks bright and healthy. You can use it in the morning as well. With a spatula, lift separate the one patch and apply on the clean and dry under-eye area. It can be the second last step of your beauty routine, before applying any oil serum on your face. Let the patches stay for 10 to 15 minutes and pat the extra serum into the skin after removing patches. You can also put them in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.

After application, the first thing I noticed is the so amazing cooling effect. If you have tired eyes after using a laptop or mobile or because of remaining too much outside, you are going to feel bliss. Just for that amazing feeling, I have become a fan of these patches. After removing it, I could feel the freshness it provided to my dry skin. It was hydrated and felt plumper. The instant result was simply remarkable. I pat the extra serum on my skin for more hydration.
