Jet Setter Natural Beauty Basics for Your Next Trip

This summer has proved to be a very busy travel time for me (being 'home-free' might have something to do with it... hehe) and as a result I find my skin needing some travel TLC. These products are the beauty essentials I would recommend to anyone logging more travel hours than spin cycle classes to help keep your skin in tip top shape.

IN TRANSIT SPRAY ON MOISTURE, This Works Skincare, 18 GBP. A lightweight moisturizer in spray on form that is perfect for summer and easy to reapply throughout the flight to keep skin hydrated.

TIRED EYES TOPICAL MARINE TREATMENT OIL, Marie Veronique Organics, $200. The price is hefty but so are the results! By increasing the formation of collagen, this miracle treatment creates thicker, younger and brighter skin with noticeable results in just three months. 

BLUE CLAY SPOT TREATMENT MASK, Herbivore Botanicals, $18. Stale airplane air really wreaks havoc on my skin and I rest assured that I can fix any blemishes that pop up with a treatment mask. This one is especially great because you travel with it in the dry form and add water when ready to use. Do an all over application and leave on for 10- 15 minutes, or use as a spot cream overnight. 

TEA TREE LIP BALM, Swanson, $1.99. If you haven't tried tea tree lip balm yet,  you are in for a treat! Not only is it wonderfully refreshing (imparting a slight tingle), it has natural antibacterial properties that help ward off germs floating in the flight cabin. Double trouble in the best way!

SILK SLEEPING MASK, Lovarti, $18.29. Splurge on a silk sleeping mask as the silk fabric helps fend off wrinkle marks and protect your delicate eye area as you snooze. This one is handmade from an Etsy maker in Poland.

Wear No Evil Book Signing at Amour Vert in San Francisco

My good friends at Amour Vert are hosting yours truly for a book signing for Wear No Evil this Saturday (July 26, 2014) from 12- 3pm PST. If you are in the Bay Area, I hope you will stop by and say hello and check out the eco chic offerings from one of my favorite brands.

Three Easy, Breezy Dresses You'll Want to Live in this Summer

I always consider myself a bit of a tomboy (because I like to fly fish, and I play golf and drink beer), but it turns out my summer go-to is an easy dress (that is, when I'm not sporting waders). I've actually had the pleasure of wearing two of the dresses featured here (the black and flower print one) and can't say enough about how wonderfully they wear. Pair with flat sandals or sneaker slip-ons for a laid back day look, or add some nude heel or flatforms with a cropped jacket for a night out. Done and done.

KNEE LENGTH DRESS, H Fredriksson, $379. This dress was ethically constructed with longevity and classic styling in mind.

GOLA STRIPED DRESS, LemLem, $225. This beautiful cotton-gauze blend dress was handmade by Ethiopian weavers.

SHORT PRINT DRESS, Svilu, $670. Ethically made in the USA using a digital printing process which reduces water waste. Made from silk.

LVX Luxury Vegan Nail Polish

LVX is a Latin word that translates to light. Light is the root of all color. Looks like the new definition for LVX is luxury, vegan, five-free nail polish in the hottest colors straight off the runway! 

"We wanted to educate our customers on high fashion, runway, and color trends. What we created was a brand that was long lasting, chip resistant, five-free, cruelty-free, and vegan," says co-founder Branka Tomic. Mission accomplished. Check out the LVX summer collection for color inspiration and lust worthy digits.
