VIVAIA Shoe Review Part II

VIVAIA Shoe Review Part II

Shoes so good you have multiple pairs. Totally guilty when it comes to VIVAIA. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, but comfort is king when it comes to footwear for me, and I love that VIVAIA shoes give me that, without compromising on style. Again, in partnership with VIVAIA I’ll be chatting through new four styles (to my wardrobe), as well as showing how to style them. Use code ‘MJ15’ to get 15% off your purchase.

Sunday Riley Good Genes Review

Sunday Riley Good Genes Review

Sunday Riley Good Genes has something of a cult-like following. Other reviews that I’ve read have said things along the lines of: “holy grail status”, “completely lives up to the hype”, and “I’ve given up searching for a more affordable alternative”. After finishing up my first bottle of the good stuff, I have to agree. There are few products in my skincare routine which have almost instantaneous effects, but this is one of them.

#NSale Top Picks AKA What I’d be buying from the 2022 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Public access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has now begun! If you haven’t had a chance to check out my guide for this years’ sale, I shared what I consider to be the best of the bunch in this post HERE. Today, I wanted to whittle it down even further, highlighting five of my favourites from the sale. #1 | La Ligne striped cotton sweaterWe can probably all agree that I don’t need another striped sweater, but if I were on the lookout, this striped mariniere from La Ligne would definitely be a contender. It’s 100% cotton which makes it…
