The year has zoomed by and would you believe it, we’re flying into Fall! So, I thought it would be the perfect time to share my desert oasis of luxury shopping here on my blog.

Just  90 minutes away from Los Angeles and 20 minutes west of Palm Springs, Desert Hills Premium Outlets is California’s largest luxury outlet destination and home to over 180 stores with discounts as much as 65% off. I’m talking Chloé, Burberry, Prada and more! Plus, you want to talk exclusive? How about Givenchy, Lanvin, Balmain and Loewe? Desert Hills Premium Outlets has the only outlet locations for these brands in the western United States.

My first stop had to be Givenchy because I’ve had my eye on a new bag. The store itself is gorgeous and of course you would expect nothing less. I had a genuine conundrum when it was time to pick what color bag was coming home with me. I had a grey and red one in either arm and to be fair, they both looked amazing but I finally decided on the red because RED is big trend going into this Fall season. But I really don’t think I could have gone wrong either way. I also had to drop into Balmain (Love their bags!!) and Loewe (so many cool and quirky signature pieces). For a closer look at my visit to those stores, check out my Reel on Instagram.

And more stores are opening soon too! Can you believe it, even more choice! David Yurman is opening their first outlet in Southern California, plus Rails and Amiri will be debuting their first and only outlet locations in the world at Desert Hills Premium Outlets. I’ll definitely be coming back for that.

A visit here could turn into a whole day affair so bring some comfy walking shoes and someone to help carry your bags because the selection is enormous and when you consider how many brands you have to choose from, you’re going to have no problem leaving with amazing finds! I’m going to link their website here for you guys so you can check out the extensive store list, hours and any special offers that are being offered. I really hope you all get a chance to visit Desert Hills Premium Outlets soon and if you do, comment below and let me know what you bring home with you.

This past year, my skin has definitely taken a real beating. Face masks, while necessary in our current times are not the best when it comes to maintaining good skin! So I’ve had to up my skincare game and I want to share a couple amazing products with you guys that I think we can all put to great use.

My skin is naturally getting more and more dry as I age (along with some fine lines) and I’m sure the climate in Los Angeles doesn’t help either! Thankfully I was recently introduced to Rodan+Fields’ Redefine Intensive Renewing Serum and  I’ve been adding it to my nightly skincare regime. With the Intensive Renewing Serum, I am already starting to notice a slight difference with my fine lines after about 10 days of consistent use (important point, you have to give skin care products time to work!). If my skin is really putting up a fight in terms of dryness, a little dab of the Rodan+Fields’ Active Hydration Serum is just the extra little kick I need. All in all, my skin feels smoother and firmer and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

I’ve definitely heard how important it was to add Retinol to my skincare routine but was a little reluctant because my skin is sensitive and Retinol could cause some irritation. But the Redefine Intensive Renewing Serum utilizes Retinal-MD Technology which is a form of Vitamin A. It’s more potent than Retinol but still gentle enough for daily use to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I’m always a little extra wary when adding new skincare products to my regime. I’m constantly on the lookout to see if I have any adverse reactions but thanks to the proprietary technology used by Rodan+Fields‘ that makes the serum gentle enough for almost all skin types, I’ve had absolutely no problems at all.

I am a big fan of the fact that the serum comes in handy, biodegradable capsules. Just twist off the tail, smooth the serum over you face and neck (careful to avoid the eye area) and you’re done! Do not rinse off and let the serum work its magic on your skin. You have a full sixty day supply in the bottle and while I’m sure everyone of us would love instant results, like I said before you need to give skincare products time to work. But the great thing is that Rodan+Fields‘ offer a sixty day back guarantee on all products, even empties! So you can afford to give the product the proper time to start having a visible effect on your skin.

As great as The Renewing Serum has been on improving the appearance of lines and wrinkles on my skin, the Active Hydration Serum is just as important to my regime. My skin can definitely get extra dry from time to time.  The Active Hydration Serum is my “secret weapon” when it comes to combatting the effects of dry skin. This Serum really quenches thirsty skin and instantly raises skin’s hydration level by two hundred percent after just one use and maintains that level for 8 hours! Hydration is extremely important to healthy younger looking and acting skin. On a personal note, I noticed an improvement in my dry skin after only a week with the use of this serum.

The two key ingredients in the Active Hydration Serum are Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid. The Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates your skin and the Glycerin prevents your skin from losing that moisture. The serum also has the added benefit of prepping your skin to better receive products applied after. With that in mind, I tend to apply it before a moisturizer after cleaning and toning. I am currently using it every other day or on days when I feel my skin is just that little bit more dry and it’s been working a treat! If your skin is more on the dry side, you can use the serum twice daily (in the day AND at night) and if you’re using it only once a day, you can apply either in the AM or PM.

I’m definitely happy I gave these products a proper chance by giving them the necessary time to start having an effect on my skin. I love the visible improvements that I’ve seen and I’d love to hear from you guys if you decide to try them out for yourselves. But for me, these two serums have a home in my skincare routine and that isn’t going to change anytime soon!

I want to thank Rodan+Fields for sponsoring this post.

Let’s just jump straight into it because things are selling out so fast, now that the Nordstrom Anniversary sale has gone public and it will only last till August 30th. It will come to no surprise that I have been stocking up on some cozy loungewear pieces for myself and Reuben since we’ve been staying home a lot.

But Fall Fashion is also a huge thing for me so I HAD to pick up a couple of outerwear pieces like this “shacket”(Shirt+ jacket) and a denim jacket. And these faux leather leggings from B.P, which are so sleek and fit me perfectly. Such an incredible deal right now for $28 during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. These leggings are usually $49 so I highly recommend picking up a pair now. For Fall and all through winter, this is one piece in your closet you will definitely be reaching for!

We wanted a reason to get out of the house for a little bit, so we opted for curbside pick up and it was such an easy and safe process. If you don’t have a Nordstrom near you, they are also offering free shipping and returns and all you have to do is sign up to become a member of The Nordy Club. I’ll link it here for you to sign up.

I’m also linking a few of my other favorite cozy pieces for you to check out so let me know in the comments if you anything catches your eye or show me your Nordstrom Anniversary Sale haul!

I used to be the very opposite of a homebody. In the past, I would quickly start getting stir crazy if I wasn’t consistently out doing something or traveling somewhere. But the world is a different place now. Staying home whenever possible is an important part of life, so I’ve been on a quest to make my space as cosy as I can!

When you think of eBay, I’m sure “auctions” pop to mind. Of course, that was what they used to specialize in but this isn’t just what they are all about now. I went on a hunt to find pieces that would spark my creativity to decorate my home and let me tell you, I wasn’t disappointed.

My style is typically quite minimal and I was thrilled to find so many amazing pieces that I adored on the site! Let me start with this unfinished Hand Turned wood bowl that is perfect for storing our lemon and limes. We use a lot of citrus in our food and when we have cocktail nights so this bowl is going to come in handy!

I had to order this vintage Moonshine Jug and while I’m not using it to store any home made alcohol, I think it serves as a delightful vase! Definitely a conversation starter but being vintage, it was a unique item that isn’t available anymore. However, another great part of eBay is that there are so many similar items and I’m going to link them here : Jug 1 / Jug 2

My Mister has been trying really hard to keep my spirits up. In fact, every morning he brings me coffee in bed and now he uses this adorable heart shaped tray and it never fails to make me smile. Can you believe that it’s under 10 bucks!?

I’ve also been cooking tons more at home. I’m sure if you’re following me on Instagram, you might have seen a few of my home made dishes in my Stories. The one thing I really wanted to get into was baking my own bread. So this bread basket was a must have. You know for my first time, I think it came out looking pretty good! A little chewy though, so room for improvement.

The pandemic has really changed our lives dramatically and that goes for how we shop too. A lot of us are getting more and more things online and as a business, having an online presence is vital. eBay is doing it’s part in trying to ensure that small businesses emerge successfully on the other side of the pandemic by helping provide a platform to get products in front of their over 180 million buyers. With powerful selling tools and insights, a business can see what products resonate with shoppers and not just stay afloat, but hopefully even grow with customers shopping from all over.eBay want to help you set up shop so please click here to see how easy it is for you to start getting your products in front of so many potential customers, like me!

And as a shopper, I also want to do my part to support small businesses whenever I can. All the pieces I found and that were featured on this post came from small businesses that now like us, have to navigate a world facing a pandemic. These items help to brighten up my decor and lighten the mood at home and sometimes, you can’t just put a dollar amount on that effect. And every purchase makes a difference to a small business.

I’m still on the hunt and I’ve recently noticed that I’ve been neglecting our walls. But I found the perfect Ebay Store, The Ross Art Group via Poster Pro. So many amazing original vintage posters that would add so much character and vibe to our walls. I also found Dipitty and Snark which offers hand made cards, stationery, stickers and illustrated gifts. We’re sending each other texts and emails but the feeling of receiving a physical card that is hand made especially in these unprecedented times could make all the difference in the world. It could brighten the day of someone who needs it badly and perhaps even make us feel close even when we are forced to physically distance ourselves for now.

So I want to close out this blog post by saying that I hope all of you out there are staying safe and if you can, please support small businesses.

Shirt jackets are now a thing and I LOVE it! So easy to style and the trend just seems so effortless. I got this one from Nordstrom recently and have already worn it twice this week!

I’m going to link a few more shirt jackets below for you guys so you have some options to check out. Also I’d like to highlight my new boot obsession. These are perfectly slouchy and so comfortable. Naturally, highly recommended!

I put together this outfit featuring a cosy sweater that would make a great gift for under $50 from Nordstrom. Really love how chic it is and how it adds a dose of light-heartedness to my look. I also wanted to get you guys even more options that are easy to gift from Nordstrom. Check out the links below and pick up something for that girl in your life! She can’t help but love the gift and think of you when she puts it on!

I’ve really been into lettered t-shirts lately. My recent feature was this Anine Bing Tee and now this New York City tee from Nordstrom finds it way onto the blog. I love how easy it is to style and that it can be dressed up or down. If you are still on the hunt for a gift for a girlfriend, getting a tee like this that you think would resonate with her is a great gift idea! Nordstrom has an amazing assortment that I know she’ll love. This one is one of my faves for the new year.

Also, this Teddy coat in brown is on sale right now and if you are still searching for one, you’re going to love this piece. I’m a fan of the black buttoned detail and it can easily be styled with a black turtleneck top or just a plain black tee, and it is sooooo soft!

Finally, the temps are starting to dip into Fall territory! And when I’m seeking Fall attire, I know Nordstrom will have what I’m looking for. I headed straight to the TopShop section and I found a bunch of pieces including this cream Banana sleeve funnel neck sweater that is still lurking in my wish list.

My first look features an amazing coat that I’m going to be styling a lot this season. I’m really feeling dark brown tones for early Fall and I took that into outfit 2.

My second outfit shares two staples from my first look and goes into a different direction with a daring slitted skirt. The faux fur bag is such a steal too, and considering how well it fits into both looks, I think it’s a big hit! One of my “must haves” for Fall is this affordable pair of brown suede pumps, I have a similar pair that gets lots of attention and this one right here is just as good!

I’ve always strived for inclusion in my style. My goal has always been to challenge myself to style something that speaks to my sense of fashion and still looks effortless. I want to make you guys feel like “hey, if Sheryl can pull it off, I can too!”. And that’s why I am so thrilled to be partnering with Walmart on their “We Dress America” campaign.

Living in LA, we are so lucky to have diverse neighborhoods and climates a relative short drive away in all directions! You could go surfing in the morning in Malibu, catch up with some friends for lunch downtown and head to Palm Springs for some desert dessert all on the same day! So, I love that Walmart is not only offering up some amazing trendy pieces, but also pieces that you can fit wherever I am in the city!

For this post, I styled 3 different looks to reflect the diversity of LA and So Cal in general. Look 1 is great for DTLA with it’s edgy feel, totally an urban-ready outfit. Look 2 is all about the monochrome sweater and the feminine vibe it exudes. Style it with shorts and you’re ready for s’mores by the beach! Look 3 is a sophisticated and versatile look that can take you from the office to date night in the blink of an eye!

All these looks are based on a solid foundation. Hopefully, some of you noticed that I used the same pair of jeans, shoes and bag for all 3 looks! That’s what I love about this campaign because it not only features a ton of options, but lots of pieces are so versatile! So let me know what you guys think below and what you guys are picking up! And/or post your looks on Insta and tag me because I’d love to see what you guys put together!

Look 1: Trench Coat / Jeans / Bag / Shoes

Look 2: Sweater / Jeans / Bag / Shoes

Look 3: Shirt / Jeans / Bag / Shoes

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pantene. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Naturally when you have a great hair day, you want to get yourself out there and show off to the world. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t feel that way.

I feel like quite a few of you think my hair is always looking healthy and I’m not denying that I feel quite blessed because I do appreciate my hair, but I have to confess a few things. First, I put my hair through the wringer with way too many hot tools at the salon trying to get beach-y waves for photoshoots. In fact, my use of hot tools is what does the most damage because my hair is naturally wavy so I have to straighten it with a flatiron every time I wash. Add in a dash of super dry LA weather and you’ve got the recipe for a bad hair day! 

Well, I’m so done with that and I wanted to take some steps to seriously great hair.

So, I embarked on the Pantene 14 Day Challenge in the hopes it would put me on course for more great hair days. I’ve been a Pantene user for the longest time, even way before my blogging days. It’s a staple of our bathroom and even the Mister is a fan! My all-time favorite has always been Pantene’s Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner. Whether I am leaving my hair naturally curly or plan on styling it, I know it never lets me down. To be honest though, I never used it consistently until this challenge. Normally, I would play the shampoo field but this time, I stuck with the Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner every time I washed my hair (2 -3 days over the course of 2 weeks). I also added another Pantene product, their detangling spray, as a leave-in conditioner and I love it! I simply spray it onto my damp hair and just run my fingers through. So easy and the knots loosen much easier without having to tug. 

So here I am at the end of the 2 weeks of using consistently using Pantene’s Daily Moisture Renewal Collection and the most obvious difference that I notice is more shine throughout my locks and my hair just feels so much more manageable, both rocking my natural waves and straight. No more dryness and brittleness, just hair I can run my fingers through and style however I want! I’m so glad I did this challenge because I now know how easy it is to keep my hair looking great and hopefully, I’ve inspired a few of you to get on the road to more great hair days so maybe try the challenge yourself! 

If you’re interested in this duo, Walmart has a deal here. Want to try the large conditioner pump? See here.
