Embracing Elegance: A Peek into My Current Fashion and Beauty Favorites

While the majority of my blog posts revolve around Etiquette & Elegance, I occasionally like to share my favorite fashion finds, beauty products, and books. Since August is my birthday month, I thought it would be fun to do another ‘source book’ post and link a few of my favorites for you to enjoy.

In each section, I will be providing links to the fashion and beauty items that have found a cherished place in my collection, as well as those that have slipped into my ever-growing wishlist. I believe that the journey to refined elegance is an ever-evolving one, and I hope that my selections will inspire and resonate with your discerning tastes as well.

So, without further ado, let us embark on this delightful journey through my latest fashion and beauty finds.

Birthday

My birthday is on the 1st of August and every year my husband and I go on a trip together to celebrate. This year we visited Quebec City and it was amazing. If you follow me on instagram you will have noticed I did a fun Get Ready With Me video featuring a few of my birthday gifts. One of my gifts was a beautiful new Hermès Evelyn TPM in Gold. I know this is a super luxury item so I have linked similar items as well as an actual Evelyn that is available on a resale shop.

Fashion

As a self-confessed lover of fashion and shopping, I hold a particular fondness for dresses, gravitating towards classic, feminine, and impeccably structured styles. Below is a curated collection of what is currently in my cart and closet.

Beauty

I love skincare and beauty products! However, with my exceptionally sensitive skin and susceptibility to perioral dermatitis, I diligently maintain a consistent routine to safeguard against inflammation. When it comes to makeup, I love a polished and neutral look. Take a peek into my makeup bag:

Books

Do you recall Good Reads? I used to enjoy browsing my friends’ collections and seeing their current reads. Check out some of my current book recommendations, both etiquette and non-etiquette ones. You can also always find these in the Shop section of my website under “In the Library” . Enjoy!

Under $200

Like many, I appreciate a good deal on quality items. Among my favorite go-to stores for classic and durable pieces are J.Crew and Banana Republic, which have had an impressive selection this year. If you’re seeking affordable options that stand the test of time, I highly recommend checking out these brands. Here are a few gems I discovered, all under $200.
