This week MAC introduced their latest holiday collection called Warm & Cozy.

“A fireside fantasy far from the maddening crowd is undeniably appealing. Seek refuge in the warmth, the glow of skin rosy with Refined Golden Mineralize Skinfinish, Shadesticks in Cuddle, Nurture and Snuggle shades, cozy as a mug of cocoa on a bearskin rug. Curl up with the cashmere kiss of Warm Me Up Lipstick or Light That Fire! Lipglass; the woodsy, rustic chic of Mulled Cider Eye Shadow and Dim the Lights Nail Lacquer. Like being in a majestic lodge surrounded by all of life’s real comforts. Natural beauty, the way M∙A∙C makes it modern.”— M∙A∙C Cosmetics

I’ve been reading a lot about this Black Tea skincare line from Fresh, especially the new Age-Delay Eye Cream and the Instant Perfecting Mask.

“The sophisticated formula contains black tea to refine the complexion and enhance luster and lychee to promote collagen synthesis, helping to maintain the skin’s elasticity and resilience,” says the company’s website.

Next time I’m in Sephora, I will definitely check this line out.

Earlier this month I was on a flight that made a connection in Seattle.

The Sea-Tac airport is the only location where butter LONDON has a store (concourse C) so I ALWAYS stop in if I have time.

In addition to Blowing Raspberries, I picked up this gorgeous British Racing Green which I can’t seem to take my eyes off.

Polishes by butter LONDON are free of formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP and are available in specialty boutiques and apothecaries across the world and online at butterlondon.com.

Since winter recently made its presence known across the country by way of a scene-stealing storm, I’ve rediscovered an old favorite – earmuffs!

Perfect for the instances when hat hair just won’t do, earmuffs do their job without wreaking unnecessary havoc on my hair. I spotted this pair of online, and while I’ve never been one to match my handbags with my shoes, I kind of like the idea of my muffs coordinating with my boots!

UGG Australia Double “U” Shearling Earmuffs are available from Nordstrom in Black, Stout and Chestnut for $75 each.
