Hey guys! I feel like it's been a while and so much has happened since September (the leaves have
fallen and we've had our first snow here in Montreal!) I wanted to take the time to properly share with you some of my favorites of the season/past few months, as the weather has changed and as so did my clothing and skincare along with it.

Beauty faves:
Bioderma Sebium toner
It's a pH balancing toner that has been working wonders on my skin, keeping the sebum and breakouts at bay while never drying out my skin. It's not as astringent as other salicylic acid-based toners and honestly, bless! I use it morning and night after a freshly washed face.
SkinCeuticals H.A Intensifier
With the colder weather comes dry and flaky skin. Your best bet: hyaluronic acid. It's already present in your skin but a boost of it will guarantee hydration, plumpness and an overall more glowy complexion.
Bioderma Atoderm body balm and shower oil
Ok. These products are no joke. I discovered them at a Bioderma retreat I attended last month and I am HOOKED! I always gravitate towards hydrating and anti-irritating products for my skin because of my moderate/severe eczema and sensitive skin. With these products, I haven't had a rash or a patch of dry skin in weeks since using it. It's truly miraculous. And, best of all, it's available at the drugstore!
L'oreal infallible 24hr foundation and concealer
I've used this foundation and concealer for all of spring and summer and it never failed me. It worked through the sweat, the heat, the stickiness. With fall, it was time to see if it would perform as well in the colder weather and on the drier skin texture. Well, well, well. Let me tell you that I will never have to try any other foundation or concealer ever again. It's simply perfect for all seasons.
Skinfix lipid-peptide cream
I've been using this cream as a night cream for the past couple of weeks and it's so amazing! I have extremely dry skin in the winter and I haven't experienced any dry patches or flakes on my face since using this cream. It's hella thick but it's not sticky and penetrates your skin very well. It helps restore the natural lipids and fatty acids in your skin for healthy glowing skin.
Clothing faves:
Clothing faves:Knits
Nothing screams fall more than knits and truthfully, I've been living in them. Chunky knits, cardigans, turtlenecks, you name it.
Leather
Leather is super in this season and I am one to follow the trend. This season, I've already gotten myself 2 new pairs of leather pants and leather skirts. There's something so chic yet edgy about leather. You can pair it with basic items and elevate the look x100.
1. ASTR the Label polka-dotted sweater
2. Free People cardigan
1. ASTR the Label polka-dotted sweater
2. Free People cardigan
For those who know me, you know I've been absolutely living in this Zara oversized wool coat. It's probably my best purchase of the season. I wear it every single day because it simply fits every look you can possibly think of. Oak and Fort make similar oversized jackets and I love the fact that they are a Canadian company.
4. VEDA leather trousers
5. Song of Style leather skirt
6. Sosken Studios Jill jacket
7. Club Monaco Daylina coat
Hats
Berets you say? Yes, please! I never thought I would be a beret-head but I definitely am! I've found the perfect way to put them on thanks to my friend Nada and now I can't stop wearing them! I've gotten one from Aldo and one from Ardene so far. I've also been ultra obsessed with any wide-brim hat and Brixton makes such good ones!
Knee high boots
A trend that started last year but that is definitely in full swing this year are definitely knee-high boots. I'm not talking over the knee boots but rather the high boots that stop right at your knee and slouch a little bit at the ankle. Yeah, those. I'm O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D. I've been wearing them non-stop with flowy skirts.
