I was so excited to get these super cute sandals by Andre Assous, as they reminded me of my favorite sandals in terms of styles and function. I actually think I like this better.

The Andre Assous brand began in Europe and has continued today in the United States. The man behind these shoes incorporates his design capabilities, artistry, engineering knowledge, and his experience as an athlete into making an extremely comfortable and beautiful designer sandal.

Since 1970, Andre Assous sandals have been pushing the limits and turning the classic style of designer shoes into a new, modern interpretation that the fashion world’s biggest names love.

This Novalee Elastic Sandal is perfect. The comfort of a leather footbed meets fun fringe in this flip-flop, in a neutral taupe colorway. It is light, natural and comfortable.

It offers a wide band of support and the lift gives you arch support. Much healthier than a flat for your feet. I wear them in the house all year round because they feel so supportive.

Do you own a pair of Andre Assous? What do you think?

Bleusalt is a clothing brand founded in 2017 by photographer Lyndie Benson, which is an eco-friendly outfit originating from Malibu and made in Los Angeles. For many years living on the coastline of Point Dume in Malibu, Benson destroyed more than one cashmere hoodie while walking in the morning. She loved cashmere but the fabric is hot, sticky, valuable and, cannot hold the beach elements.

The design reflects the graceful style of the breeze in the coastal city of Malibu. This is why they are perfect for the Fall. The concept of great clothes often comes from someone trying to solve a problem. These clothes are wearable athleisure luxury clothing that works for everyone.

Grown from sustainable forestry plantations, beech trees multiply by rejuvenation. That means the trees propagate by themselves and there is no artificial irrigation or planting required. Beechwood forests are 100% sustainable. This process allows us to bring the softest fabric on Earth to your closet. Our Bleusalt fabric, made from beechwood, is entirely vegan and cruelty-free.

Lynn, Benson, Founder of Bleusalt describes the brand as “a seasonless line of Elevated Basics made sustainably 100% in the USA from the softest fibers on earth and home to the signature Bleusalt Wrap.  Surrounded by the natural beauty of Malibu, I care deeply about our oceans and planet. I created Bleusalt out of my own desire for luxurious clothing that left a minimal impact on the Earth. 

We are making an effort to be part of the solution and continue to work on being zero-waste, and made 100 percent in the USA, locally in Los Angeles (so close you can see the Hollywood sign from our factory).  The fabric we use is made from the sustainable botanic fibers of the beech tree by Tencel.

Bleusalt’s fabric embodies all of the beauty of cashmere but is breathable, machine washable, ideal for layering, eco-friendly, and arguably even softer. Plus, it is vegan, cruelty-free and, antimicrobial.

Bleusalt is a new kind of fashion that seamlessly takes you from day to night, the whole time allowing you to feel effortlessly comfortable, and put together.

 Our goal is to make the highest quality sustainable luxury clothing a little bit more accessible for everyone.

We can’t wait for you to experience first-hand a piece of Malibu and a new standard of comfort, sustainability and style.”

It just started to turn a little cooler here and I was super excited to try out these pieces.

Do you have Bleusalt pieces in your closet? What do you think of it?

 

 

Kiehl’s Products Will Save Your Skin This Fall

I have been wearing a face mask indoors as well outdoors to extra precaution against the pandemic. Needless to say, my skin started showing signs that it did not like this. It started to become more sensitive, despite the fact that I have been consistent with my skincare.

I was so happy to try the following products from Kiehl’s to help me combat these issues.

Youth Dose Eye Treatment

When it comes to getting rid of puffiness or those dark circles under our eyes, we’ve tried everything. Gadgets, vegetables, tea bags, etc. The list goes on. Not to mention all of the expensive eye creams we try out only to have our eyes looking just as tired and our under-eye makeup flaking off throughout the day. It’s tough.

Finding the perfect eye cream has always been something that I struggled with in my beauty routine. In fact, it’s one of the most common questions I get when it comes to beauty recommendations, I am not actually sure. Until today. Well, I’ve known for a while now but I’m still super excited to share!

I’m excited to introduce to you one of the newest products from Kiehl’s. It’s their Youth Dose Eye Treatment. I’ve had this secret weapon in my beauty kit for a few months and I’m glad I can finally share! It’s been a game-changer in my routine. It’s an easy application with a silky texture. The Youth Dose Eye Treatment is strong enough with even just a small amount of product. There are three main reasons why I love this product so much outside of it actually working!

It has just the right tint for all skin types. It adds the slightest touch of color that blends in with your natural skin tone perfectly. Underneath your eyes get an extra pop of brightness that we can all use.

It’s never been easier. Kiehl’s created the perfect applicator to give you just the right amount in each drop. A few simple drops underneath each eye, a light pat, smooth, and you’re done. You can immediately see the fine lines begin to fade away. I love how easy it is and your skincare routine carry-on without a glitch.

If you are on the lookout for a new anti-aging eye cream.

Vital Skin Strengthening Super Serum

Vital Skin-Strengthening Hyaluronic Acid Super Serum 0

Sleek and compact, Kiehl’s newest serum promises to combat the signs of aging skin. It targets environmental stressors. Which include UV rays, pollution, and lack of sleep are some examples that weaken the skin barrier to return it to its original plump and supple glory.

It does this with its unique combination of 11kDa Hyaluronic Acid and Adaptogenic Herbal Complex. To put it simply, the smaller molecular size of the hyaluronic acid is supposed to make it easier and faster to penetrate the skin and deliver results. It’s smaller than the typical hyaluronic acid molecules used in skincare, which is already very hydrating on its own.

From the first pump, I knew my skin would absorb the serum quickly. Its lightweight formula has a runny, watery consistency. A quick and gentle rub is enough for it to fully absorb and sink into the skin. Even with just one pump, there’s enough product to cover your entire face.

The Kiehl’s Vital Skin-Strengthening Super Serum really helped my skin recover. I’ve been using it for a while. The quick-absorbing hydrating serum was a pleasant addition to my minimal skincare routine. It helped my tired and sore skin recover surprisingly fast, which anyone in the same boat can really appreciate.

Super Multi-Corrective Cream

 

When I am trying new beauty products, especially anti-aging creams, I look for real results along with how the product feels on my face, and the overall effectiveness.  I was excited to find Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream with it’s amazing (and unique) texture and scent. Not only does it diminish wrinkles and smooth out the texture of your skin, but, it also leaves your face with a fresh glow.

When I researched Kiehl’s new product, I found that the cream has an anti-aging formula with proprietary technology that is clinically proven to lift, firm, and re-texturize skin within two weeks.

Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream is made with jasmonic acid that helps repair wrinkles and fine lines, beech tree extract to improve skin firmness, fragmented hyaluronic acid to improve skin elasticity and smoothness.

Within two weeks of using this product, my skin appeared firm and very smooth.

Let me know how these products works for you. I’m so intrigued to find out how it work for everyone. We all have different skin types so I would love to hear your feedback.
