As much as I love the fall season, winter is looming sooner than I want it too. As depressing as winter can get (especially if you live in Minnesota like me), it can seriously discourage any sensible person to ditch on style altogether. I’ve come up with a lust-list of fashion and beauty finds and suggestions that I think can at least help alleviate this upcoming winter depression.
1. Platform Boots
I’ve recently came across these pair of platform boots from H&M and I fell in love with them instantly. I’ve been obsessed with this chunky heels trend for a while and was really happy to have found an affordable version of it, gotta love H&M for that. The chunky heels and and thick platform soles also make for ideal walking on snow. On top of that, they’re still incredibly wearable for the fall season as well, go chunky or go home!
2. Skincare
We all know how crucial it is to find THE perfect moisturizer especially come winter time. One of my personal favorites is Neutrogena’s Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Moisturizer. The low price tag is an added bonus! Great product with great value.
It has been a struggle for me to find the perfect toner to use. As a result, I tend to skip the toning step during the dryer seasons. That has all changed since the day I came across this baby, Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal-Extract Alcohol-Free Toner. It’s a little bit on the pricier end, but I think it’s totally worth it. In addition to transforming my skin texture for the better, it is also incredibly hydrating, and the fact that it is alcohol-free makes it ideal for my acne-prone skin. I can’t stress how much I am in love with this product enough!
Next on the list, I highly recommend MAC’s Strobe Cream. During winter, I like to swap my normal primer for this product instead. It moisturizes the skin while making the foundation last longer at the same time. It also illuminates the skin to make it more dewy looking. I normally don’t like dewy-looking skin especially in the summer, but its a great look for the dryer winter weather.
3. Light Hair Color
When the weather gets colder, it seems like a lot of people tend to dye their hair a darker color. What not go lighter? Go bright when others are heading the darker route, in that way, you’ll certainly stand out! I don’t know about you but I love seeing lighter hair colors during the colder seasons, it warms up my day!
4. Sunglasses
Even during winter we still need sun protection! One of the latest sunglasses trend I’ve been obsessed with is mirrored sunglasses. I find them to be incredibly suitable for winter, can’t quite explain why, maybe because it can really add a pop of color to one’s outfit in a nontraditional sense. And I sure do love to embrace colors in the winter!
Speaking of sunglasses, I’m obsessed with these ones from Pacsun under the Kendall and Kylie collection. In addition to the reflective glasses, I love the metal frames, super chic.
That’s all I have for now, stay warm people!
