Little Black Dress

Ensemble

Dear friends,

There's nothing like a little burst of color in one's rather boring winter outfits. A pop of color is a great way to add interest to that simple little black dress you have sitting in your closet. I know it can be difficult to make black dresses interesting during the colder days. Most of us go for the default black stockings or tights to match, but then end up looking too mournful so we go right back into our jeans again. I know, I've been there, but I realized this is a great way to wear that color tight you bought randomly, just pair it with the same or complementary color footwear. Be playful, have fun, go for it!

Best wishes,
Milka

Optical Illusion

Ensemble

Dear friends,

This weather is all over the place lately, not that I'm complaining for these almost summer like temperatures but it's feeling like a teasing game. Non the less here is a comfortable lounging about my day outfit I put together for one of these spring-like days. This top definitely has that optical illusion going on, I think it adds interest to the muted color palette, also you can never go wrong with a little bit of white furry fluff, it's all about balancing textures.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Best wishes,
Milka

Comfort Zone

Ensemble

Dear friends,

This outfit I can easily say to be my uniform. I find such comfort in these silhouettes and combinations of textures. The warmth and minimalism of a neutral sweater, structured architectural pants and touches of whimsical details to soften and add interest to the whole look makes such an effortless combination that still expresses your sense of style while keeping you comfortable for your busy everyday lives. I also have a weakness for frilled necks and hems, this fashion detail is one of my favorite ways to add a touch of romance and travel back in time to one of my favorites style eras.

I decided to sew on a white delicate frill onto the neck, and a lace fabric onto the wrists of this Uniqlo sweater I luckily managed to find in the sale rack last week (was excited about that). Also, this cute mini red little bag, I detached the original red strap and decided to play around and replace it with a fun colored sash. These black suede textured boots I felt needed to be amped-up a bit so I sewed on a pearl on to each side giving them a Chanel vibe. You can never go wrong with pearls! they are such an elegant and easy way to spruce up an item of clothing; if you know where to place them correctly of course. I will surely be playing up the pearls in more future posts to come.

Best wishes,
Milka

White in the wind

Ensemble

Dear friends,

There's nothing like waking up to a beautiful sunny Sunday morning! Since it was quite windy today I couldn't resist soaking up some vitamin D by walking the streets in an easy, effortless, and "wind friendly" dress. There's something about crisp whites under the sun rays, it never gets old.

Hope everyone has a nice week!

Best wishes,
Milka

Azul in wonderland

Ensemble

Dear friends,

Azul, when thinking of the color blue words that come to mind are: royal, elegance, mystery, depth, tranquility, and intelligence. Hope you enjoy this beautiful color in the wonderland that is nature.

Azul in Wonderland - There's something so sexy about deep blues during spring & summer. This stunning color holds mystery, character, edginess and elegance, it's like looking into deep waters during these warm seasons, the contrast of the depth and saturation against the greens and warmth is such an effortless fashion statement, this effortlessness rush is always what I'm in search for. No wonder it's my favorite color. Love it!

Best wishes,
Milka

Sense and Sensibility

Beauty

Dear friends,

I need to share with you some skin care finds I have been obsessed with for quite a while, and others I keep coming back to again and again, all products tried and tested by yours truly. Trust me, your skin will love it! The trick is always to keep your products minimal but effective.


IF INTERESTED IN ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS I HAVE WRITTEN A SMALL DESCRIPTION FOR EACH BELOW, HOPE IT'S HELPFUL.

1. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence $99-290USD: I know this product is well known but I just can't live without it. Throughout the years every time I stopped using it for some reason my skin feels dull and not so youthful in texture and color. This product punches life and a youthful glow back into my face.

TIP - Do not expect results the first day, this product works with continuous use, your skin has to adapt to it in it's regenerating cycle.

2. KIEHL'S $29USD- Activated Sun Protector Water-Light Lotion For Face & Body Cooling and Refreshing Weightless Defense: I must say it's my favorite sunblock so far. It's so light, hydrating, sinks into the skin quickly and it actually protects. It has a refreshing minty smell and cooling feel to it. It's definitely not what you expect from a sunblock. GOOD JOB KIEHL'S!

3. KIEHL'S $48USD - Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado: This Avocado oil eye cream is quite different, hydrating and glowing, it's consistency is very different from your typical eye cream. When applying you should pat it around your orbital bone, then when you slide the cream it turns into a water consistency, strange but cool. If hydrating is what you want in an eye cream this is a good choice for you.

4. CAUDALIE $49USD- Beauty Elixir: It's all about the waters, especially now that summer is near. First of all this water is different, it's aroma is a mixture of citrus, bitter orange flowers, rosemary, peppermint, mint, grape and more. Once you spray it instantly wakes you up, refreshing at it's best. When I have off days and don't want to fuss with lotion I just spritz this all over, it's surprisingly hydrating enough. You can also spray before your moisturizer as well. I Love carrying the travel size in my purse, it's so refreshing and revitalizing, I use it to wake my face up half way through the day at work for a pick me up. Love this product!

5. ROSEHIP OIL $19USD- Rosehip By Essano Organic Rosehip Oil with Antioxidant Acai Berry: This oil was a skeptical purchase, I didn't really know what to expect until I put some on before bed but what a pleasant surprise I had the next morning. I couldn't believe how moisturized, glowing and plump my skin looked and felt. This turned into the only product I put on my face before bed time, I want nothing else to interrupt its absorption into my skin. I let it work it's magic every night.

6. ONE-OFF THE FACE $15.50USD: Pore tightening toner. I am a skeptic when it comes to pore tightening products but this one actually works, finally! I believe it's the white clay that settles on the bottom, when you shake it before using it creates a milky like consistency, with a delightful refreshing fragrance. I like to pat this on the problem T-Zone with a cotton ball right after washing my face in the mornings. Kiss those pores goodbye!

Best wishes,
Milka

Perfection is Never

Inspiration Moment

Dear friends,

Welcome to my very first post! I'm very excited to share with you my abstract blog. My name is Milka, I am just one more resident in the New York City area, and for the longest time I have been wanting to start this blog (it's embarrassing to say really how long) but as an extreme perfectionist nothing is ever ready or good enough, but enough is enough! Here it is at last. Hope you enjoy and visit me once in a while.

Best wishes,
Milka
