Here are items that have been winners on clients recently. I’ve also included some of my current favourite new-to-me beauty products. Be sure to browse the colour options, and read the online reviews. You might catch some items on sale.
1. Cole Haan Footwear
Cole Haan shoes are worth a look because they’re generally well made and comfortable. The brand offers excellent mens shoes too. Hubs Greg has several pairs that are workhorses. I usually have one or two pairs of Cole Haan shoes in my footwear capsule. Of this selection, notably, the Mirabelle Crisscross Sandal in the metallic options has awfully pretty white piping that makes it look extra refined and interesting on the feet. The Grand Pro Topspin Sneaker is fashionably platformed, works on narrow heels and higher arches, is super comfy, and comes in nineteen colour options. Some of the colours come in wide widths. The Marlee Fisherman Footbed Sandal is cushioning, has a wider footbed, and might run half a size big.
2. Calvin Klein Fay Crossbody Bag
This bag is for Team Silver Hardware, which is finally more available. The CK Fay Crossbody is small and streamlined, has an architectural boxy integrity, handy magnetic closure, great hardware, and comes in a range of colours. It’s fairly lightweight, and has a comfy broad strap.
3. Beauty Products
I’ve finally found effective dry shampoo that does not irritate my skin too much, and Act + Acre fits the bill. It’s fragrance-free, and not too drying. It’s a powder that blows out of the applicator rather than a spray. Living Proof Clarifying Detox Shampoo is amazing! It’s shampoo you use ONCE a week to deeply cleanse hair and remove buildup from hair products, dirt, oil, and other impurities. It leaves your hair looking healthy, shiny, and voluminous for days. I repeat, this is a weekly, and not daily shampoo. Last, Ren Clean Skincare Overnight Recovery Balm has been a game changer for my facial and neck skin, which is reactive and prone to dermatitis, eczema, and intense dryness. You use it at night only – (once a day) – and without additional facial creams. It does its magic when you sleep, leaving your skin dewy, soft, soothed, rosy, moisturized and healthy. I apply regular moisturizer in the morning, and recovery balm a few times a week. I’ve been using the balm for five weeks with zero irritation. The look and feeling of my skin changed within a day, and I’m grateful.
