Let's take a break from  January's chill, and enjoy some sunset hues.  I sure miss my sunset cocktail on the terrace.  Soon, right? Until then, let's dream a little, and warm up with these links.  

Zimmermann creates the best resort collections. This year's is no exception. This is the Wanderlust Dress. It's all pricy, but as I said.....a girl can dream. 

You won't fear the fine print with Look Optic's "Linda" Progressive Readers.  Loving the look of the shiny tortoise, but they are also available in other colors.Still love my Keaton's, but these are tempting.  They are so well made, and 25% off this weekend.

Getting away? Nothing says "island girl" better than a sarong. This one is super pretty and really great with a black swimsuit.  Easy to pack. too.

Perfect for Spring Soirees. This Zimmermann style will make an entrance!

My younger self would be all about these pretty platforms. My current self is, too, but my knees would not be. Find them HERE

Creamy White Chicken Chili

I have made this twice this fall and winter. Though I never follow a recipe exactly. Tiegan, of Half Baked Harvest, always brings the flavor in her recipes. A good choice for Super Bowl Sunday.

Romantic Ruffles. A good look for a casually chic  date. The Abely blouse is 100% organic cotton. From Sezane Paris

Enjoy delicate genuine gemstone and pearl jewelry? You will love the creations of Joie & Lily.  The founder, designer, and creater is a friend of mine, Nicole. She would take excellent care of your order. These bracelets alone or as a stack, would make a lovely Valentine's Day Gift. Currently everything is 25% off.

Bisou Bisou literally means Kiss Kiss in French. I love the phrase, and rather like kissing. :)  So let's talk about lips. Like the rest of our skin. they need caring for, to be kissable. This post features everything you need for soft kissable lips, including lipstick!

Sara Happ Dream Slip

All that this company does is create lip products. This Dream Sleep deeply replenishes your lips with hydration. Consider it a mask for your lips. Infused with honey, chamomile,  and vanilla, it is also a treat for your senses. Get the lips of your dreams while you sleep.

Meet Neutral Nude: The award winning, beauty editor favorite Lip Plumper. It's a warm neutral caramel mocha.But it also comes in a pouty pink and clear. It's sheer with intense volumizing action, thanks to peptides.

Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm

Gloss meets lip balm. This is the best of all the lip balms I have tried. The coverage is sheer with a high shine finish. The texture is so pleasing. I wear "Nana"which is a cool beige.What I like best about this product is the true colors. Most other brands names don't match the color. 

Westman Atelier

 

 

Charlotte Tilbury Kim K. W.

My favorite all time lipstick. The color ~ is a pink nude. The perfect nude for me. It's sexy and leaves your lips luminous and full bodied. No need for a lip plumper. 

Charlotte Tilbury  and  Sephora

 Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

The Allure Beauty Award winner for best  Lip Balm. It comes in ten shades.

Sephora 

 

 

Sarah Creal Lip Primer

I use a makeup primer under foundation, and a primer for my eyelids before, but I not for my lips.  This product is a long lasting, peptide packed treatment. It has a soft matte finish, and minimizes and blurs  fine lines. Sounds like it is worth a try. 

Sephora 

 

The Difference Between a Lip Gloss & A Lip Oil
 I hope that this in-depth article by Osea will help answer that question.  I currently am using their Undaria Algae Body Lotion. Love it! The firming is terrific!

Osea Malibu 

 

Dolce & Gabbana Mint Lip OIl Plumper

I first read about this in Town & Country Mag. It is their fave plumper. I never felt the need for a plumper, but maybe I should. This one gets great reviews. 

Nordstrom

 Sara Happ One Luxe Gloss

Hands down the very best gloss you will ever try.  Created with only good things for your lips like, castor seed oil, Jojoba seed oil, macadamia seed oil, and sweet almond oil. The shine is fab but it is never stickey. I wear the Rose Gold and Nude colors. So good!

Legendary Serum Lipstick

 Bold color meets serum, and oil. It is completely clean without any toxins. The water based formula hydrates and smooths. I have grown to love this brand.

RMS Beauty 

 

 

 Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Lipstick

 Voted by InStyle Magazine as the best overall lipstick for older women. Apparently it blurs the fine lines on and around your lips, is long lasting, and hydrating.  Not to mention that chic case!
