Everyday Essentials

Today I wanted to take you into a part of my daily life. These are a few of my favourite things; perfume, candy, concealer, pieces of Paris and lip balm.

Perfume: Bath and Body "Country Chic"
I get so many complements on this body spray. I've been wearing it for years and it is my go to fragrance on a daily bases.

Elizabeth and James "Nirvana"
This fragrance is a new find I discovered at Seohora. It has hints of Sandalwood, Vanilla and Jasmine. What's really good about this fragrance is that it's feminine yet with hints of masculinity. And also it layers good with other perfumes.

Hair Perfume "Pink Sugar"
Another Sephora find. I've used this on and off for a few years. In between hair washes, this is perfect. It smells so  innocent and sweet. FAVE!!

Lip Balm: Rosebud Salve
Smells like baby Vassiline and makes your lips so soft.

Avalon Organics Vitamin C Lip Balm
I put this on first for the SPF protection. It makes your lips matte and soft. It tastes good too, LOL !

Lipstick: Makeup Forever "Rouge Artist"
I actually wore this lipstick on my last post "Spring in Step". It's a matte finish and so natural looking. New Fave!

Face Mist: Makeup Forever "Mist Fix"
Sets your makeup perfectly. It gives my skin this glow that looks so fresh and soft.

Concealer: L'Oreal Paris "Visible Lift"
This concealer is AMAZING! It has serum that makes your skin have this glow. I've been using this concealer for a year now and I swear by it. When I'm in a rush I just swipe this under my eyes and I'm good to go.

Sunglasses: Michael Kors

Candy of choice: Twix

Hair Serum: CHI Keratin silk infused

Notebook: Paris themed day planner

The inside of a woman's purse is very telling of who she is.

What's in your bag??

**until next time**
See you soon!

Spring in Step

It has definitely been a while since my last post. Please forgive me for my absence!! Since my last post so much has happened; I got married and gave birth to the most precious little girl !!! So yeah.... Life happened. But now I'm back in full swing and excited to show how much my style has evolved since my last post.

For some reason this spring season, I'm completely in love with florals, sweet  simple maxis and no fuss make up. Oh and don't get me started on my obsession with black booties!!! For this look I just wanted to show case the mood of this Spring season as I see it.

Glittery New Year

First I'd like to start off this post by saying Merry Christmas to all of you who have been following me and taking the time to support me in my craft. For this Christmas post, I wanted to show that there is a natural side to me. That I'm not always doing the glamour shots, and I have a laid-back sense of style as well.

It's Christmas, I didn't want to do a whole fuss or muss over an outfit. I just wanted to show my face and thank you all. Here's to a happy holiday and a pleasant beginning of the new year. Cheers!

I want to keep this short and sweet. Hope you have an accessorized Christmas and a fashion-forward New Year! ;) Love you, Washy Washila.

Alley Chic

Burgandy Velvet Shoes - Bakers, Louis Vuitton Purse

 

The heels for this post are my favorite pair of shoes in life so far. With these shoes, I basically wanted to create an ensemble that complimented the edgy side of the shoe, and the glamorous side of the shoe. I was thinking more corporate chic with a twist of edgy fun. Hopefully I've captured that idea.

The dress, I bought at Buffalo Exchange for $8 (great find). The sunglasses, which I feel give me the cool edge, I bought a drug store for $3. My whole point of naming prices is that I have two high-priced items mixed with two thrift finds. Isn't that what being a girl is about?

For this post I wanted to give some tips on how you can still wear your Summer clothes in the Winter (in Southern California). For instance, the top I'm wearing, I bought in mid-July. But I cannot stand to see it sit in my closet and not get any play time. So I normally wear it with my high-waisted jeans, or my harem pants, and have a simple leather jacket to go with it in case of rain. 

For the shoes, I know some people say how strappy heels don't go with Winter. But if it were raining, I would have worn socks or thick stockings with them. The pants are pretty universal; you can wear them any time of year. And also, I thought it was pretty fun to put rust and yellow together, keeping in mind the color palette of the season.
