One of my very favorite beauty products is MAC's Tinted SPF 15 Lip Conditioner. The color I use is Soothing Beige. It's smooth but gives just a light neutral sheen to your lips. It's fantastic. It also lasts forever so the $14.50 price tag is definitely worth it!
West Elm is a favorite store of mine. My most loved purchases were from a few months ago. I bought their Organic Cotton Pin-tuck duvet in white and their Stella in a Bag throw in silver (sadly it's no longer available.)
Galaxy chocolate is one of my favorite things in the whole world. It comes from the U.K. Before going "across the pond" for the first time, my friend Sarah told me to make sure I got some Galaxy. Probably the best thing she could have told me. That advice as well as her tidbit to wear black socks over white ones. (So I'd blend in better...)Galaxy is the smoothest, creamiest chocolate. There are a few varieties. Milk, Dark, Caramel, Raisin with Almonds and Hazelnuts, etc. The list goes on! Also, there is a hot chocolate in case you need some warm loveliness. Paraphrasing the words of Ferris Bueller, "It is so choice.If you have the means [or ways], I highly recommend picking [some] up."
I love my aubergine Hunter Wellingtons. They are perfect for splashing in puddles and jumping around in the snow! To be honest, I wear them when it's dry too....
