**Style Over 40 – 44th Birthday Shop Haul 🎉🛍️**

A little birthday treat to myself. 🤍 While we were in Palm Springs, I couldn’t *not* stop by **Desert Hills Premium Outlets**. They honestly have some of the best luxury selections, and it’s always fun finding pieces you’ve had your eye on at a much better price. ✨

This time I came home with a new pair of shoes and a new bag—both pieces I know I’ll be wearing for years. And a special thank you to my hubby for surprising me with the **Clueless-inspired Nike Air Force 1s** 💛💙 They might just be my favorite gift of all.

I’ve definitely become much more intentional with shopping over the years. I’d rather bring home a few pieces I truly love than buy a lot just for the sake of it. Quality over quantity has become my approach, and honestly, it’s made getting dressed so much easier. 🤍

**Style over 40 – GRWM for Olivia Dean 🎶🤍**

Getting ready for Olivia Dean‘s concert tonight! ✨ I picked this beautiful off-the-shoulder dress from **RESA**, and it felt like the perfect choice for the occasion.

The mesh fabric is lightweight, easy to wear, and so forgiving—comfortable enough to move around all night while still feeling polished. 💃 And let’s be honest... a dress that gives you a good twirl moment is always a win. 🤍

I‘m also fully embracing the return of polka dots this summer. They have such a timeless charm and always remind me of *Pretty Woman*... and honestly, who wouldn’t want a little bit of that energy? 🖤⚪️

The dress I‘m wearing is from **RESA**, but I also rounded up a few similar styles in different silhouettes in case you’re looking for something that better suits your style or body shape.

**Style Over 40 ☀️ Summer OOTD**

With the LA heat officially kicking in, a breezy summer top has become a wardrobe essential. 🌿🤍

I actually found this one completely by chance while browsing Nordstrom last year. It’s from Topshop, and I immediately fell in love with the eyelet detailing—it makes such a simple outfit feel a little more special.

Today I paired it with my favorite jeans and kitten heel sandals for an easy, polished everyday look. 👖✨ But if you’re more of a shorts girl, I think it’d look just as cute with a pair of white shorts for an effortless matching set vibe.

This exact top is unfortunately no longer available, but I found some beautiful alternatives with the same feel.

**Makeup Over 40 ✨ | My Everyday Summer GRWM**

Once summer rolls around, I naturally find myself prefer more peachy and soft pink tones ☀️🌸 They just brighten up the complexion and make everything feel a little fresher compared to the richer reds and browns I love during the colder months.

This has been my easy everyday makeup look lately—lightweight, glowy, and polished without feeling like I’m wearing a lot.

Here’s everything I used if you’d like to recreate it:

✨ **Typology Skin Tint** (Type 2 Light)
💧 **Lancôme Care & Glow Hydrating Serum Concealer** (330N)
🤍 **BCL Clear Last Face Powder** (Matte & Kira-Hada)
💦 **THAYERS Milky Mist**
☀️ **DIOR Forever Nude Jumbo Bronzer** (10 Light Skin)
🌸 **PATRICK TA Liquid Transition Brightening Blush & Transition Blurring Under Eye Blush Duo** (Natural Finish)
💗 **JOOCYEE AURA Glazed Blush Highlighter Luminous Powder Blush** (Pink Glow)
👁 **La Maseii Lash Bond**

💋 **Lip Combo:**
• L’Oréal Blurfiller Blurring Lip Contour (Nude Espresso)
• Prada Soft Matte Lipstick (P159 NUDO – Warm Nude)
• MERIT Tinted Lip Oil (Pink Beet)

✨ **TIRTIR Setting Spray**
🌬 **Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder**

I love a makeup look that feels effortless, lets my skin shine through, and adds just enough color to make me feel put together. Sometimes that’s all you need. 🤍

**Skincare Over 40 ✨ | Morning Routine**

I’ve realized the older I get, the less I chase “perfect” skin... and the more I focus on keeping my skin healthy. 🤍

For me, a good morning routine is all about giving my skin what it needs to get through the day—hydration, antioxidants, barrier support, and of course SPF. When my skin feels healthy, makeup naturally looks so much better too. ✨

Here’s what I used today:

💧 **TIRTIR Milk Skin Toner Light**
🌿 **Kiehl’s Iris Extract Essence**
✨ **TIRTIR SOS Serum**
💦 **Drunk Elephant B-Hydra™ Intensive Hydration Serum** mixed with
🍊 **Murad Vitamin C Glycolic Brightening Serum**
👁 **OneSkin OS-01 Eye Cream**
🤍 **First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream**
☀️ **Ultra Violette Sequin Supreme SPF 50 Glow-Boosting Facial Sunscreen Moisturizer & Primer**

A little hydration, a little glow, and plenty of protection... that’s my kind of morning. ☀️

What step in your morning routine could you never skip? Mine will always be SPF. 💛

**Wellness over 40** has been a lot more about supporting my body than trying to “fix” it. 💛

Perimenopause looks different for everyone, but for me it’s been brain fog, hormonal migraines, fatigue, digestive changes, and feeling like I wasn’t operating at 100%.

Over time, I’ve started building small habits that help me feel more like myself again. These supplements have become part of that routine.

As always, this isn’t medical advice—just sharing what’s personally been helping me. ❤️

✨ I’d love to hear from you—which perimenopause symptom has been the hardest for you to manage?

**Style over 40 – Shop Haul + Try On ☀️🤍**

Made my very first purchase from **Charcoal Clothing** and I have to say... I think it was a success! ✨ I picked up these two dresses, and I can already tell they’re going to get plenty of wear this summer.

I love a good throw-on dresses that still feel polished, and these checked all the boxes. Comfortable, effortless, and perfect for everything from weekend brunches to vacations or dinner out. 🌿👗

Of course, I didn’t stop there... I also found a few more styles that are already sitting on my wishlist for my next order. 😅

**Style over 40 – OOTD 🤍🖤**

Some pieces just keep proving their cost-per-wear... and this **Nellie Maxi Dress** is definitely one of them ✨ I think this might be one of the best **$75** I’ve ever spent because I’ve worn it over and over again, and every single time it makes me feel confident. Sometimes it’s not about having more clothes—it’s about finding *the* dress that never lets you down. 💫

Today I paired it with a classic denim jacket and white kitten heel sandals for an easy, effortless look that works from brunch to dinner and everything in between 🤍👗👡

If you’re building a wardrobe that you’ll actually wear, this one is definitely worth considering.

**Skincare Over 40 ✨ | Nighttime Recovery Routine**

As much as I love spending a day in the sun ☀️, my skin definitely lets me know it’s time for a little extra TLC afterwards 😅

After this Palm Springs trip, my focus wasn’t on adding more actives—it was simply about **rehydrating, nourishing, and helping my skin recover** after the dry desert air and long hours outdoors.

Here’s everything I used tonight:

💧 **TIRTIR Milk Skin Toner Light**
🌾 **Thayers Milky Mist with Oat Milk**
✨ **Evidens de Beauté The Special Serum**

Currently in Palm Springs and, of course, heading out to dinner in a cute outfit is a must ✨ But just as important? The bag—and everything I manage to fit inside it 😌

Today’s choice is this mini bag from Ganni 🤍 Proof that even a small bag can carry the essentials when you pack strategically. From beauty touch-ups to those little “just in case” items, there are a few things I never leave behind.

**Skincare Over 40 ✨🌙 | 4-Step Night Routine**

I’ve really been embracing the idea that a nighttime routine doesn’t have to be 10+ steps to be effective. Sometimes, a few well-layered products are all my skin needs before bed. 🤍

Tonight I’m also trying **two new additions** to my routine and I’m excited to see how they work over the next few weeks!

Here’s what I used in order:

💧 **Abib Rose Mist Serum** – a hydrating first layer to prep my skin.
🌿 **Kiehl’s Iris Extract Essence** – one of my long-time favorites for lightweight hydration.
✨ **DRMTLGY Growth Factor Serum** *(new!)* – giving this one a try and looking forward to seeing how my skin responds.
🫶 **Paula’s Choice Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Gel-Cream Moisturizer** *(also new to my routine)* – sealing everything in with a lightweight boost of hydration.

Keeping it simple, keeping it consistent, and letting my skin do the rest while I sleep 😴💕

**Hair Care Over 40 ✨🤍**

I truly believe healthy hair starts at the scalp 🌿 and just like skincare, consistency makes all the difference. These days, my focus isn’t chasing perfection—it’s keeping my hair feeling nourished, shiny, and easy to style every day.

Here’s my current routine that’s been on repeat lately:

🪮 **Wet Brush Original Detangler** – gentle on my hair and keeps breakage to a minimum.
💆🏻‍♀️ **Nutrire T1 Day Nourishing Scalp Serum** – giving my scalp a little extra love.
🥛 **RŌZ Milk Hydrating Leave-In Conditioner Hair Serum** – lightweight hydration without weighing my hair down.
✨ **L’ANZA Keratin Healing Oil Hair Treatment** – my go-to for softness and shine.
💨 **Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer** – because anything that helps speed up my routine is a win in my book. 😆

Skincare over 40 – one thing I’ve learned is knowing when to simplify. 🤍

When my skin starts feeling a little more sensitive, I like to focus on hydration and barrier support with products that leave my skin comfortable, balanced, and ready for the day.

The weather can have such an impact on my skin, especially around my cheeks, so I stick with lightweight layers and formulas I know my skin loves instead of overcomplicating my routine.

Does anyone else’s skin seem to change with the seasons? I’d love to hear what works for you! ✨

Back with Part 2 of my Commense haul! And yes… apparently I’m fully committed to matching sets this summer 😌✨

One thing I've learned over the years is that lip products don't have to be an either/or situation 💋

My current go-to pairing is @PrimePrometics lip stain + their PrimeLip balm because it gives me the best of both worlds—lasting color plus the comfort and hydration my lips need ✨

A few of my favorite combinations right now are:
🌹 Rosewood + Soft Petal
💕 Muse + Silky Rose
🌸 Bloom + Velvet Rose

Each one gives a slightly different look, but they all wear beautifully together and make it easy to create a polished lip without feeling overdone.

Which combo is your favorite? 🤍

Skincare over 40 and somehow your skin is dry, sensitive, and reactive all at once 😭

That’s usually when I stop trying random things and go back to products that focus on keeping my skin calm and hydrated without overwhelming it.

The Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner has been one of those easy layers for me lately. I love that the formula is minimal, lightweight, and made to be layered depending on what your skin needs that day.

Some days it’s one layer.
Some days we mummify 😂

And honestly… my skin always seems happier when hydration is the focus instead of overdoing actives. Especially over 40.

Have you tried layering toners before?

Skincare over 40 has really shifted my focus from “more products” to finding the right products that actually work well together.

Lately I’ve been appreciating routines that feel simple, calming, hydrating, and easy to stay consistent with — especially when my skin is feeling more sensitive or dry. And this set from @theoutset has been fitting into my routine so seamlessly.

The cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean but comfortable, the serum gives that hydrated fresh-skin look, and the moisturizer seals everything in without ever feeling heavy.

I can definitely see why this routine has become such a favorite ✨

Beauty Over 40 ✨

Recently gave my bob a little summer refresh ☀️ Went slightly shorter and added curtain bangs because… why not? 😅

Of course, a new cut means a tiny update to my everyday styling routine too. Here’s my easy 3-step method for soft volume + movement:
✨ Step 1: Rollers for the bangs + crown area.
The trick? Roll the hair away from where you want it to fall — instant volume.
✨ Step 2: I use a flat iron for the rest of my hair and curl everything away from the face for soft waves and extra bounce.
✨ Step 3: Finish with a flexible hairspray that holds without feeling crunchy or sticky. I still want my hair to move naturally 🤍

And that’s pretty much my everyday bob routine lately 💇🏻‍♀️ Simple, quick, and easy to maintain.

Skincare Over 40 ✨ Reset + Recharge Routine (comment RESTORE to get 🔗 )

This week has been a lot 🤍 One of my kitties has been recovering from pancreatitis, so between the stress, minimal sleep, and barely having an appetite myself… it definitely started showing on my skin too.

Thankfully he’s doing much better now 🐾 and it’s finally time for me to take a moment to care for myself again.

Tonight’s routine is all about giving my skin a little bit of everything it’s been needing lately:
💧 hydration
✨ repair
🫶 strengthening the skin barrier

Nothing complicated — just focusing on helping my skin (and honestly myself too) feel a little more balanced and restored again.

Makeup Over 40 ✨ Blushes… let’s talk about them 💖

If you’ve been here for a while, you already know I’m obsessed with monochromatic makeup looks 😅 Which means blush is basically doing the heavy lifting for my entire face. I need formulas that melt into the skin, look natural, and never sit heavy on top.

Current favorites lately:
💗 Sarah Creal “Coming In Hot” Blush
✨ Laura Geller Cream Palette
🌸 MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush
💕 Patrick Ta Cream & Powder Blush Duo

All easy to apply, buildable, and perfect for that fresh flushed glow ☀️
And with summer around the corner, I’ve definitely been reaching for brighter blush shades a little more lately.

Hope this video helped 🤍

Style over 40 – Shop Haul Try-On ✨

Recently picked up this chiffon trench coat from The Frankie Shop and thought it would be such a fun addition to my closet 🤍

I’ve always loved layering, but living in LA definitely limits that a bit because of the heat ☀️ So when I saw this lightweight chiffon style, I immediately thought it would be perfect for those windier days or cooler evenings when you still want that layered look without feeling too bundled up.

It’s not my usual go-to style, which honestly made me want to try it even more. Sometimes the best wardrobe additions are the pieces that push you just slightly out of your comfort zone ✨

What do you think—would you wear something like this? And how would you style it? 👀

Makeup over 40 — summer edition ☀️

Ok… but can us ladies over 40 pull off faux freckles too? 👀

And TBH I kinda love how youthful and effortless this look turned out 🤎✨
