Self-Care during Stressful Times

So, a lot going on right now. It’s important during stressful times to take care of yourself even if it’s a really small thing that you do. Yesterday, I jogged in the park with my dog and it was an absolutely gorgeous day in Florida. It helped to unplug a bit and enjoy nature. So I thought making a list of things you can do to “self-care” during these times might be helpful.

  1. Take some time off from watching the news and other media
  2. Go jogging or walking in the nearest park
  3. If you’re creative, take some time to paint or sketch. You can do this with the whole family.
  4. Take a bubble bath
  5. Light a lovely aromatherapy candle. I really like those from Paddywax
  6. Cook or bake something new, this can also be a family activity
  7. Great time for game night in the house with your partner or family

What are some of the ways you’ve been able to cope with everything going on? 

Sincerely,

So I’m headed to New York next week. Yes, I know. Hopefully all will go well and I’ll stay healthy. But, anyway, I was thinking about the weather and well, it’s a great time to wear a cute trench coat for that in between can’t decide what season it is weather. With all that is going on in the world right now, retail therapy may be just what you need. I found a few coats that I just had to share.

          2. Simone Rocha Frilled Trench Coat $2815

Makeb’s Bagel Run

Good morning! I had a taste for a lox bagel with cream cheese, red onions and capers. I got into them while living in Manhattan and found this cute bagel spot Makeb’s bagels downtown. They have all kinds of bagels as you can see, you definitely won’t be disappointed by their selection. One of these days I have to try a different kind than just regular or whole wheat. Anyway, I’m up virtually attending Milan Fashion Week and am excited about the shows today. What’s been your favorite so far?

Ruffles, Harnesses and Tulle at the Gucci F/W 2020 Show

The Gucci Fall/Winter 2020 show was quite different this year, starting with a rotating circle of dressers and models. There was quite a bit of ruffles, tulle and harness wear that flirts femininity with roughness. There was also some great pops of color to brighten up some of the usual black in fall/winter wardrobes. It was a great show and a daring open to Milan Fashion Week. Check out more photos below!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope your day is full of romance and flowers. Remember to treasure that significant other that you have or just love yourself if you’re flying solo. I just love this Sammy B. leopard print dress that I picked up recently. It’s perfect for date night. The dress goes great with a nice pair of black heels, I wore my Steve Madden fringly sandals. Check out more photos below and have a great day!

Metallic Jason Wu Pants

 

So I’ve been wearing these silver metallic Jason Wu pants. I paired them with my clear Steve Madden sandals for a cool look. They’re very comfortable and make a  bold statement. It hasn’t been hot nor has it been really cold in South Florida recently so they are perfect for the weather. Do you have any metallic pieces?
