I seem to mainly only share my 'dressier' outfits but in reality, most days I am in a casual everyday oufit made up of: comfortable shoes, black leggings, and a cozy sweater or sweatshirt. Because I work from home, I always opt for a casual (and comfortable) outfit whenever possible!
Beauty Empties! Here is a range of skincare and hair products that I used to the very last drop over the past few months. The products on the left side of the image are tried and true favorites -- items I love and continually repurchase (I actually already had back ups of most of these on hand because I never like to be without them.) The products in the group on the right were so/so for me and I am not planning to repurchase at this moment.
A quick natural everyday makeup look for a February winter day. Today instead of using a heavier foundation I opted for the Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint from Chanel (shade Medium-Light), it is a great lightweight product that gives your skin a beautiful glow without the heavy feeling of foundation.
This small Cabas Tote from Celine is one of my go-to purses! It is the perfect size to fit all your necessities (it can even hold a small laptop.) I have linked a few spots to purchase the tote including resale sites like The Real Real and Fashionphile.
One of my goals for 2024 is to read more. So far over the past month and half I have finished eight books, so I am certainly at a better cadence than I was last year. I often read on my Kindle Oasis or listen to audio books via the Libby App or Audible. I find I reach much more often thanks to my kindle, as I love the compact size and how light weight it is! It is so easy to throw in your purse and allows me to read during random quiet moments like on the subway or in a waiting room.
Some of my favorite classic accessories are a Chanel Medium Double Flap Bag in Black Caviar and a Vintage Cartier Tank Solo 28 watch.
As you all know, I love to give myself at home manicures. One of my favorite nail care brands is the new york based, female-founded brand, TenOverTen. I think they have some of the best nail polish colors and then I just LOVE their nail polish remover. The team at TenOverTen recently sent me their nail tool kit and it is the nicest upgrade for my at home manicures. The salon-grade tools are stainless-steel and created in Germany. They simply are very luxe! So if you too like to give yourself a manicure, I certainly recommend all these lovely TenOverTen products. (Use code NAN15 for 15% off!)
Today was a sunny winter Friday in New York City. My simple outfit consists of my favorite tan wool coat from Toteme, my go-to jeans from Abercrombie and a white fisherman sweater from LouLou studio (runs big.)
I seem to always have multiple tote bags while I am running errands around New York City. Here is my Grey Cabas Tote from Celine paired with a under $50 gingham canvas tote.
When I was not in my ski outfit I was usually wearing some version of this outfit: my fleece lined leggings (an amazing $30 Amazon find!), Margaux boots and Marfa Stance jacket. (While I was packing for this ski trip my mom reminded me that we were there to ski, not for a fashion show! ha.)
My family and I are out in Deer Valley, Utah to ski for a few days. I had not been skiing in a few years so I needed to update my ski outfit and I turned to Halfdays because I love that they offer inclusive sizing in women's ski outfits (sizes XS - 2x.) I purchased their black bib style skipants (1XL) and a green belted ski jacket (XL) and can report that I loved both items. They worked perfectly for our ski days keeping me warm and comfortable!
A simple winter outfit for dinner in New York. I paired a tan fisherman sweater from Eleanor Leftwich with black Good American jeans and black Margaux boots. (Use code NAN10 for 10% off the Eleanor Leftwich Collection.)
Wearing this casual outfit of leggings, a sweatshirt and my Toteme coat on this cold winter day! These are leggings are my new favorite Amazon find, they are fleece lined leggings for only $30! I bought a much more expensive pair of fleece leggings from another athletic company earlier this winter and can say that this Amazon pair is much better. I am in my usual size, XL. *Sneakers were kindly gifted.
White jeans in the winter? Some might consider it a fashion faux pas but I actually love the look! Today I paired Abercrombie Curve Love White Jeans with a Tan Ribbed Cardigan from Alex Mill and bright red ballet flats from Margaux. (*The shoes and cardigan were kindly gifted.)
An unseasonably warm winter day in New York City called for bare ankles and my favorite Brown Suede Ballet Loafers from Tory Burch. These shoes are a favorite of mine for walking around in New York City, they are just so comfortable! (I am in my true shoe size.)
Celebrating 30! I am in love with this black satin jewel-embellished skirt from ALC (it runs quite big, so I would size down, I am in a size 12 when my pant size is usually 16 or 18.) I then paired the skirt with a black thin ribbed cardigan from La Ligne (I am in size XL) and classic Maysli Suede Black heels from Manolo Blahnik.
This striped womens shirt dress from Eleanor Leftwich was such a great dress to pack for vacation - it was just so easy and comfortable to wear. I am in size XL in the navy and white stripe dress. Use code NAN10 for 10% off the Eleanor Leftwich Collection on their site.
After considering the Panier Medium Bag from Saint Laurent for what felt like years, I finally went for it and splurged on the crochet raffia tote before heading to the Bahamas. I am happy to report that I am thrilled with my purchase; it is perfect for the beach! I purchased the bag via the Cettire site but you can also find from most other major retailers.
How fun is this embroidered linen dress I found on Etsy?! The quality is beautiful as it is hand stitched by Ukrainian artisans. All of their pieces are made to order so you can select your color choices and send your measurements to get the perfect size.
Talk about a great resale purchase! I am so thrilled to have found this beautiful blue colorway of Oran Sandals from Hermes on The Real Real.
These are the makeup products I used today! (and most days) for a simple, natural and everyday makeup look for a January work day in New York City.
