Seriously, this is the best travel dress. It’s thick enough to keep me warm inflight and it’s the length ensures my bare legs don’t touch the the plane seats. The belt helps create some shape so it doesn’t look like I’m wearing a straight sack. These slides also came in handy when it was time to go through airport security — they pack nicely too, not taking up too much room in my luggage on the way back. This dress also comes in black, olive, and blue — I’m wearing a size XS (if you’re between sizes, size down!).

Thank you to Kiehl’s and Shopstyle for sponsoring this post:

In my early twenties, caring for my skin was always an afterthought. I stuck with one routine because, why fix what wasn’t broken? And while my skin wasn’t necessarily “broken,” I realized my skin wasn’t the same as when I was 24. Through trial and error with various skin care regimes, I finally started to understand my skin and the types of products I should use.

Since I have sensitive, oily skin, I was excited to try Kiehl’s Calendula Deep Foaming Wash. Honestly, I had no idea what calendula was, but when I read it’s known for it’s skin-smoothing benefits primarily in products for oily skin types, I was sold.

I love how the rich foam created a deep-clean feel without stripping my skin. After a few weeks of using the cleanser, the texture of my face feels smoother and brighter. In the morning, I apply Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate to help protect my skin from daily wear and tear. It’s packed with antioxidants like sunflower botanical oil which can help with skin smoothness, texture and hydration. I pat 2-3 drops of this lightweight on my face before I apply my moisturizer and makeup.

That’s my two-step process to achieving healthy, clean skin;

I saw this skirt on Instagram and immediately knew it had to be mine. Luckily, I was able to snag one before they sold out, but I’ve linked to other leopard and slip skirt options below:
